Power for the Peaceful: A Course in Tao

Verse 23 "Trust Falls"


Listen Later

What if truth and trust are practices? Practices that take us right into the heart of Tao, and at the same time, the innermost core of who we are. For are not the two the same?

This episode explores how Trust and Truth inter-relate, and how when we practice Trust, we practice the Chinese verb T'ung (同), used 6 times in this verse. Which means something!

T'ung means to align, identify with. Like a musician or an athlete, the practices of alignment and identification with Tao lead us into the wisdom that we, the Universe, and Tao, are each and all made of the same stuff, and by the same spontaneous practices.

Thanks to Susan Carleton for your good work with the quotes and her real-life question!

May your days begin in peace, become wombs for radical hope, and rest in the power and practices of trust.
