DETACHMENT

Short can overtop tall.
Small can exceed large.
One can outnumber many.

An edge can join to a centre.
Remoteness merges with closeness.
Solitude can accompany a multitude.

Advance by retreating.

See farther out by looking deeper within.

Enlighten the wordly by the darkness of the unwordly.


All being well?

'Allbeing-well'!



 

The sage is often caricatured as a loner, misfit or social outcast, immersed in the depths of an immaterial realm - or even drowning in it!
Conversely, the 'worldly-wise' is characterised by unequivocal and unquestioning attachment to the superficiality of material existence. 

Tao seeks harmony between these extremes: by activating a personality's potential 'sage-aspect', with its inspirational and imaginative powers,
to infuse, invigorate and complement its abilities to survive and thrive materially; a prescription for a well-balanced or wholesome individual.

When 'the world is too much with us', a period of retreat, or time in the wilderness, frees the over-occupied mind from mundane trivialities,
and restores its relationship to a more fundamental and essential nature. Tao portrays this as a rebalancing, or reconnection to one's roots.
