The Tao Speaks
hi Allandnone,
we can actually experience truth but only that we never realise it.let say
whatever you do right now is actually towards the true path but you didnt seem to notice it but only you feel its the right thing for you to do it.so the
self realisation is important as many of us are not realise what we are doing
but when other comment then only we know.in order to see the truth we need the third eye to see things more clearly and realise more better.this third eye have different meaning and its not that you have another
eye but its something like you can see more things clearer compare to others.

I was curious if anyone has read The Tao Speaks : Lao-Tzu's Whispers of Wisdom?
It is by famed cartoonist Chih-Chung Tsai (Illustrator) and translated by Brian Bruya.
It is a fascinating Book, and can be easily understood for those of us who are just starting to study Taoism.
Also, In my study of Taoism I am under the impression that it is a philosophy, but I have heard others call it a religious path with a system of deities.
What is everyone's take on this.
Thanks,
Bob
I find this dual aspect very wide spread. In the case of religion, we have a profoundly subtle mysterious universal world-view which all religions pretty much share in common, though articulate and express differently. Then we have instinctive human nature (tribal politics and other emotions) with all its nitpicking and squabbling.
For example, Christianity certainly doesn't reflect the teaching of Jesus to any great extent. Same is true for Taoism and all the rest. We have the ideal, the vision, on one hand and then we have our selves - needs and fears, and all that entails.
My motto is, don't judge a religion by what its followers do or say (or don't do or say). Each of us must separate the wheat from the chaff for ourselves
