my perception of the truth
posted: Sun, Oct 17, 2004 11:15:39 AM
i love this topic it has such depth and yet can be looked at so superficially that anyone can it apply it.
for me, i understand that i knew very little if anything of the truth about myself, the disease of addiction or the path of recovery when i started out. today i know a bit more about all three of the these topics and have become more open-minded to learning even more.
today i cannot admit my mistakes and revise my world view to accomodate alternative explainations of the truth.
so just for today i seek the open-mindedness to discover the depth of my commitment to the process

☯ The Tao that can be spoken is not the eternal Tao ☯
by Lao-Tse
Translated by James Legge
Book 1
1) The skilful masters (of the Tao) in old times, with a subtle and
exquisite penetration, comprehended its mysteries, and were deep (also)
so as to elude men's knowledge. As they were thus beyond men's knowledge,
I will make an effort to describe of what sort they appeared to be.
