Today I spoke on #70 until I was joined by Mary and her choice #64, Julie with #65 and Max with #55.
#55 "Inner Strength and Harmony"
One who has inner strength is like a baby boy,
Unspoiled, flexible, and empty with no judgment.
Bees, wild beasts, birds of prey cannot harm him.
With no knowledge of the world
His penis can stand erect,
He has no shame or questions of why.
Caught in manifestation, the myriad scream for a time, he hardly notices.
His harmony is so aligned he can scream forever without getting horse.
He is powered by his harmony, and thus all fear is kept at bay.
The Master never speaks of possessing anything, life is the blessing.
Those who pursue power and excitement find themselves confused,
They allow their emotions to guide them, and they become exhausted.
It is not from Tao, and whatever is not from Tao arrives dead.
#64 "It's so Easy"
It is easy to stop something before it is set into motion.
It is easy to plan something before beginning it.
It is easy to break something before it has grown strong.
It is easy to hide something before it has grown big.
Preventing problems has never been the problem.
Tiny sprouts do this and grow to unimaginable heights,
Every journey has started with the first easy step.
Avoiding the easy is what has created all difficult problems.
Rushing past the easy things will end up costing you,
Grasping onto the destination you lose sight of where you are.
Forcing things to be what you want, when you want,
Will only turn those things against you.
Therefore, the Master monitors her desire for an outcome.
She remains as calm at the beginning as at the end
So she can see what is in front of her.
She embraces the mundane and doesn't prize rarities.
Doing this the Master reminds those around her
Of who they have always been, and they are inspired.
Caring about nothing but Tao she cares for all things.
#65 "Simple Awareness"
Masters aren't interested in educating people
They would rather them be yielding and kind.
When people put their faith in knowledge
They lack faith in their own awareness.
When they are happy to not know
They have no choice but to put faith in themselves.
When Governing a Country, Family, or Self,
Avoid being clever and using knowledge to guide you.
People are not naturally stupid or submissive.
When not leaning on knowledge
All things are guided by awareness.
