ˇˇˇˇLove is the most beautiful experience that god gives to human beings. For most people, nothing can compare with love among all the experiences. Through sex, we can enter into love. Through love people will approach the root and the greatest happiness and love. It is also the place where we were born. However, sex also is the access to Tao that god gives to human beings. This is why people always like wandering around sex.
ˇˇˇˇThe mind and ego is crazy and it will have endless desires and anxiety, fear. It will accompany you minutely and it will react automatically when it meets some thing. It will give choice and analyze things. When we were born at 1 year old, the mind will not stop thinking and it will think all daytime and night until death. Do not think it will not work when you sleep at night, it will exist all the time. You just do not know it when you are sleeping. It is the living mode of ego and mind and it is not the action of people's natural characteristic. Because exist of ego, your natural characteristic will be hided. The ego is just a shadow of human being and common people have little chance to show the natural characteristic. The crazier the ego is, the deeper the natural characteristic will be hided. However, the natural characteristic and Tao are integration and it has superior wisdom but never compete with ego. It gives you unlimited freedom and it will remind you only when the ego does not take notice. For example, one issue, one word that others said casually, one dream, one idea, one thing you meet or one person ˇˇ , it is just because of analyze of your mind make you miss it but Tao never give you up and it indicate the way for you continually.
ˇˇˇˇEgo is the obstacle to deiform and it has many ways to surpass ego. But the main way is to be aware of you and make the power around to the center. People always pay attention to the outside world and few pay attention to him himself. As long as you can pay attention to you yourself, the ego will no longer crazy and it will calm down. When your Guanzhao is strong enough to surpass yourself, that ego will be substituted by Tao. It is also called that it is substituted by god. However, you are god in the depth of your heart. It is a great way to enter into Tao through sex because it is the most common living way of human beings. But the modern people treat it as a way to take out libido and few people can experience it with full heart.
ˇˇˇˇWhen a person's ego is not so crazy and his mind will become calm. His body will not get angry because of fickleness so he will have libido very easily. At this time, he enters into love. Do not rust to making love, just love and slowly, the power of love will rise and it will become strong. The power of love seems can burn you and do not let it go to libido. If so, you will destroy its growth and consume power. Also do not express something to someone. That is to say, do not do something which will reduce it. The power of love is good for you and it will nourish your body, making you like the flower in spring with smile in your face. The more importance is that in the power of love, you will ignore other things and you will become kind and the ego is becoming weak. The power of love is so strong that it can melt and weaken the ego. The ego will no longer be your sole master and love decomposes it. You are willing to give anything because of love including life. Everything becomes not so important and all the target of ego becomes insignificant. Loves becomes everything and continually keep together with love. Do not put all your attention to your partner and she (he) is just an introduction. It is him (her) that derives your love and do not destroy it easily. Get rid of everything and devote yourself into love. A person loving so deeply can enter into anatta status. That is, he enters into god and ego will disappear some time. Keep looking at yourself and feel your love without any care ness. You have a base to deiform and people are very close to god. Now you can also enter into love through sex combination with your lover. Please see the description that Aoxiu describe sex.
ˇˇˇˇNow people's love is not full love. Although some person will think his love is very deep, it has a long way to true love. From original pure love to libido love, it is becoming more and more fierce. It also adds some other condition, such as money, fame and gain. Sex love has become a commodity and it can be exchanged with money, fame and gain. It can be traded in every aspect of society. Of course, the desire to libido urges all these. So, money, fame and libido are very easy to combine with each other. It is very easy to cause many problems under this condition. First, the society thinks that sex is evil thing, money is evil thing and even desire to be an official is also evil. All the things that people feel beautiful, enjoyable and happy are thought to be evil. This is necessity of people's mind action and it is an ugly behavior that one does not need and then use it to others.
ˇˇˇˇAn old monk and a young monk would pass the river. A girl was standing beside the river hesitating and she was scared to pass the river. The old monk walked ahead and he did not help this girl. It is the rule for monks that monks can not go near to women. But when he passed the river and looked back, he found that the young monk was passing the river with the girl on his back. After coming to the riverside, the young monk let the girl off his back and he was not excited or abnormal just behave as usual. They walked continually until to the door of temple. The old monk suddenly asked: ˇ°I will tell abbot that you have disobeyed the rules because you passed the river with that girl on your back.ˇ± The young monk thought it was very strange. He had forgotten about this thing. Let gone by be gone by and it is real life only when you are with yourself. The old monk was so poor. The young monk has let the girl go but the old monk still has not forgotten it. The old monk feels very unbalanced. He had been an old master and he never stayed close with women for tens of years even have no chance to touch women. The power of desire to women is oppressed all the time. He stayed with the power of sex for so many years and oppression becomes a part of his life. Because of oppression, the oppressed will not disappear and stronger strength will appear. This old monk could not stand that a monk much younger than him could feel the women although he just backed her one time. After the old monk passing the river, he was thinking about this thing and he had too many unbalances. He was so honest and this young monk is younger than him and he can touch women when he just entered into temple and he also passed river with the girl on his back. So he felt very unbalanced and he could not stand it any more. So he wanted to punish this young monk.
ˇˇˇˇThis is why people like what and what will become evil. People's heart is very complicated and it has many reasons to make what people like become evil. It is a very strange conflicting phenomenon. Even, you can not always be happy and if you are always happy, others will envy you. Since others live very painful and unhappy life but you are so happy. So, others will say some bad words behind you to interrupt your happiness. Only by this, they will feel balance in their heart. If someone met some hapless things, others will feel comfortable and even happy. There are too many unbalances in people's heart and it has many reasons. We can not explain it clearly by several words. Through others' unluckiness, it shows your safety is better than others. So you will feel happy. If this unlucky person is an official or boss or posted person, you will feel stronger excited and happy. It is not my experience and it is the feeling of all people. However, when I meet such unlucky person, I will treat him with mercy and kindness. They are the children of Tao like everyone and we are integration, no necessary to envy or take pleasure in others' misfortune. I have understood that people can not occupy anything in the world. Do not think that your wealth can pass to your children. Your children have their own karma and if you pass your wealth to your children, it does not really help them. They have their own life experience and all the lusts make them feel uneasy and frustration and sorrow. They are poor and innocent. When the person who oppress you, bully you and rule you met some unlucky thing, you must be happy even when your negative side has been taken out, the envy and hate will become sympathize. You should see how deep he oppresses you and bully you and how deep your oppression is. People have different states of mind and if your mind is narrow, the oppression will bigger. If your mind is broad, no oppression will appear. Although he maybe treats you well, you still feel excited because of his misfortune because he has higher position, great fame and enjoys more. You feel unbalance in your heart and even you yourself do not aware of your unbalance. Through misfortune of this person, you can take out your dissatisfaction. The deeper someone oppresses you and bullies you, the more you will hate him and even you want to revenge him. Why the heart status of hating rich is so serious? That is because that people are scrambling for something and those who do not get it will feel unbalance in their heart and they will envy others then become hating others. One rich man hurt you without purpose and you will make use of this subject and elaborate your own ideas even deliberately provocative and stick like a limpet. In order to scramble better, they are cultivated when they are very young and make him himself have a big ego. The ego with capacity will have a complicated mind with much knowledge and it will depart the truth of life because of strong mind and people will live on the surface and depart the depth of life. Therefore, people will become more crazy and uneasy and the society will become much noisy. So Laozi suggests that do not advocate the talented and do not pay much attention to precious goods. Just because we advocate rich, talent, virtue, good people, famous people, talented people and kind people, lust will appear and people will scramble it. From original simple to complication nowadays, it is a certain phenomena and it is also a process. If the world is not destroyed, the development of human being will from complication to simple and at that time, it can be called mature. However, evolvement is a very long and repeating process just like a country from prosperous to debility and then from debility to prosperous. It is the same with society, nation, region and all the things. People will become complicated and go to their target but they will find nothing and then become quiet. That is, to region, to truth and then to the complication of things and then return again and until the society has a consciousness of going into Tao and understand the true meaning of life. People will keep its reality and pass it from one generation to another generation.
ˇˇˇˇNow the behavior and logic is really very conflict. If you think something is beautiful and enjoyable, some one must come to oppose it and make that thing become the rose with throne. You like it but are scared of being hurt by throne. The life is very short and during lifetime, we should enjoy life fully and experience life. Enjoyment neither needs having money or high position nor eating delicacies of every kind and dressing some expensive clothes and wearing much jewelry. Or sitting some good cars and living in some magnificent house. If you are rich, live a rich life and if you are poor, live a poor life. Just follow the nature and that is what Aoxiu said: ˇ°if you are poor, just live a poor life and if you are rich, live a rich life. So long as you feel what can make you happy, just do it and do not puzzled by some social habit. Others advocate money and high position but you maybe do not need it. The desire of each one is different and you should follow your mind and you will feel what is happy, what are desire of inner heart and the truth of mind.
ˇˇˇˇEveryone has different appearance, different characteristic, different capacity and different temper. They also have different hope experience. For the same thing, if zhangjia does it, he will feel happy and if Liyi does it, he will feel boring and even want to run away. Laozi said to rule with inaction and follow the nature. Let the common people emerge and perish and do not interfere them. Let the people feel that they are not ruled. All the rules are just suitable for some people and for most people, it will have oppression. If a person wants to do something and he is oppressed, he will feel uneasy and he will fight. If the society is oppressed, it also will have agitation and uneasiness and it is sure. Now it is very clear in the society that the rule is unified but people's habit and appetite is different. The structure of people's inner heart has become very complicated and it is troublesome for a country or company. So many minds and behaviors make control more complicated. People should have freedom and they have their own way to go. But because of all kinds of reasons, they have to do something that they do not like or have to accept being ruled so they will have more oppression. People living in the world are also different. It is because that the habit and hobby are different in different country or region. That is to say, people have their own way to go. Because of different region or people, different country will go different ways. Just follow the nature and do not interfere with each other. Or else, new trouble will come. Everything is changing as well as characteristics and targets. Countries are keeping changing. Keeping one's duty will become not keeping one's duty. Strong will become weak and everything is keeping changing. Do not think that you are very outstanding and look down others. Also do not think that you are in a big country and look down other countries. All are changing and you are changing, too. Maybe you will experience what you are looking down in your passed life or future life. All you gave to others will return to you at last. Life is a game and we should keep together with ourselves. To experience what you want to experience with consciousness. So long as you are happy, it is right and so long as you are aware of it, it is right. You will not lose yourself with consciousness and you will not hurt other people and thing. In consciousness, you will return to the depth of Tao and the destination of your life.
ˇˇˇˇSociety makes you feel oppressed and influenced by traditional morality, law and region, people must need to do something or not, so the desire of people will feel oppressed. Social conception is the chain to engail one's real life. So long as you identify with it, you will live outside and that is to say, you live in society, live in ego. Your religion, nation, career and your territory, your treasure and your glory ˇˇ , this is just conception. Why say the nature of people is evil? Why the conception can not encourage people to realize their own pursuit and encourage them to go into the depth of Tao. Is it bad for people? What does it do badly for people? It just will bring happiness to people and make people enjoy the life with full heart. It is very difficulty to change this conception and society needs it. It needs this logic. Therefore, it will exist more steadily. People have their own conception and a group of people will form social conception. While the conception will influence others even other countries, other groups. The culture of a country and nation is formed by conception or habit and it will influence other group. Some others called it advanced civilization.
ˇˇˇˇWe have the nature that Tao gives to us so we should enjoy it and experience its beauty with full heart. We should not think it as evil thing and we should let it grow and blossom. One day it will have fruit. When a person experienced something with his full heart, he will not want to experience it again. It is because that we are oppressing the thing we are pursuing. A child plays a toy and he will play it with his full heart. That is because that nothing will interrupt him and he will pay his full attention to it. He will not like it soon because he has played it with his full heart and will never interest in it again. The moral conception does not allow people to do something that belongs to the nature of human beings and does not allow them to do something that they think is beautiful. So people have to do it secretly and can not do it with their full heart. People's pursuit is different and you can not say it the same. Fish has its own existing way and bird also has its own existing way. All the creatures and each person have their own desire. Zhuangzi told a story about birds. That is to treat a bird with human being's way: give it beautiful music and delicious food and raise it with human being's way. However, the bird died at last. Laozi also said that everything and people have different characteristics and we can not force people. Just follow the nature and let people and things in their proper place and do not interfere with human beings' natural growth. The person who rules others will feel tied in his heart and the person who is ruled will feel oppression and intensity. They all will lose quietness and mildness.
ˇˇˇˇYou should not pay more attention to a girl or else, you will be thought as having harbor evil design to be a gangster. Why? The oppression of social traditional conception makes people interested in opposite sex. Not only man, is woman the same. Because of limitation of social conception, they have to hide their desire or mind and even behave different with what you thought. One can not be interested in the opposite sex or else, the society will attack him (her). You have to hide your reality. How evil the desire and thought is. You have to let people see that you are a person with virtue, not like women (men) and you are a sage. Women should have the moral character of virtue and moral integrity. In the past time, some custom does not allow women to keep touch with men and they should stay at home and hardly go outside. It has the traditional conception that women and men could not keep too close with each other. When we were at school, the students all did it according the custom. Boys and girls did not talk with each other and did not communicate with each other or else others will attack you. I never talked with girls even when I went into senior school and sometimes attacked them to show my disagreement. It is a very strange phenomena and it do harm to human beings in different aspects. Life is beautiful; however, people prefer to go along the road which is opposite to them. May be you do not know that you force others means you force yourself. You do not want something and you also do not want others to get it. You ask others to do something and you are asked to do it too. How this logic is! How this life is! It has become a conception of many people's. If people grow up together no matter men and women naked, all live a life like this, who would say it is abnormal and evil? It will never have because it is the social mode. Will people be interested in the body of opposite sex? Will people be interested in a opposite sex with little dress? Because of traditional conception, some people really feel very scared and they are frightened to be thought as non moral and a gangster. So they show their nobleness and hide the true thought in their hearts. No matter in people's talking, TV or books, this conception exists everywhere. So people go to another road. The beautiful natural behavior becomes ugly. Some one really becomes very frightened about it. It seems that the sex attack will kill her and even some person loses her life for this. It is really very stupid behavior. It does not mean to encourage people be sex attacked. It means that to see the function of nature as part of nature. If your heart is willing to do it, just do it. So long as it can bring happiness to you, it is right thing. Do not care about what others will think about you. That opinion does not cost anything. Live in your reality and do not let the social conception outside control you.
ˇˇˇˇIt is no need to hide people's nature and desire in heart so exaggeratedly. If so, it will make the tight life become more tight and boring. Everything has its existing way and they have their own shape and appetence. They also have their own hobby and existing way. Let everything exist naturally! Everything belongs to Tao and all is evolvement of deiform. No matter you oppose anything, it means you oppose deiform. It seems very boring and stupid. People should not be foolish any more and do not indulge in dream. It is time to wake up.
ˇˇˇˇTwo Taoists wandered outside and their traveling expenses were stolen. They had to beg alms in the street so that they could collect enough money to buy ticket to back to Taoist temple. A young man came to them and said: ˇ°two masters, I want to ask you one question. If you can answer and make me satisfy, your traveling expenses will be no problem and I will pay it for you.ˇ± After hearing that, they felt very happy. They thought that having been to so many places, it must be very easy to answer his question. ˇ°What questions? Please go ahead.ˇ± The young man asked: ˇ°should the Taoist follow spiritual principles?ˇ± Taoist answered: ˇ°of course.ˇ± The young man continued: ˇ°are people and all the things formed by spiritual principles?ˇ± Taoist answered: ˇ°of course.ˇ± Young man said: ˇ°then whether all the function of body belongs to spiritual principle?ˇ± Taoist said: ˇ°of course.ˇ± Young people continued: ˇ°since spiritual principle forms the function of body? Why you do not keep close with women? Does it follow the spiritual principle?ˇ± Taoist could not answer and had no words to say.
ˇˇˇˇWhen your heart likes it, you should do it with full heart. Do not care about what others will say and their words have no meaning to you. Do not live in others' heart and live in your own heart. So long as you are happy, it is right. If you are happy, you can also bring happiness for others. Your happiness can infect all the people that touch with you. It is the same that if you are bored, your bother also can infect others and when others touch with you, they will run away rapidly. That is because the strength of your bother is not that others like. Do not care about what others do. Others have their own life course and do not judge a person with morality and characteristics. Tao has its own reason to create all the things so let everything exists naturally. Let all kinds of persons exist naturally. No matter gentleman or mean man, good person or bad person, monster or kind person. All things that Tao creates are wonderful and it is no need to change. Accept everything and it is called following Tao.
