“I am Not, but the Universe is my Self.”
― Shih-t'ou

“He who is in harmony with the Tao
is like a newborn child.
Its bones are soft, its muscles are weak,
but its grip is powerful.
It doesn't know about the union
of male and female,
yet its penis can stand erect,
so intense is its vital power.
It can scream its head off all day,
yet it never becomes hoarse,
so complete is its harmony.

The Master's power is like this.
He lets all things come and go
effortlessly, without desire.
He never expects results;
thus he is never disappointed.
He is never disappointed;
thus his spirit never grows old.”
― Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching

“Two names emerge from a single origin and both are called mysterious.”
― Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching

“Mind is the lock. Knowing is the key. Unlock the mind and open your heart.”
― Robin Craig Clark, Voyager: The Art of Pure Awareness
