Knowing the future is a must for the Taoist adept according to Lao-tzu.

Everything happening in the Universe is the work of Tao. That's why it is important to be in accord with it in order to attain our goals and avoid suffering and failure.

This ideal is achieved by developing a way of life based on the careful observation of natural phenomena and the constant use of the oracle of changes (I-ching). This way of life is called Taoism.

The principles of Taoism were defined by Lao-tzu in his famous Tao-te ching. This work inspired a suite of disciples such as Chung-tzu, who amplified and exemplified the basic concepts.

Taoism also proposes specific meditation techniques that aim, among other things, to emotional detachment and the preservation of vital energy.

Taoism is a common practice today even though its origins lie several thousand years ago.

Here we study Taoism both as wisdom and practice.

 What If?

What if there's no separation,
What if "I" has fallen for its lie,
What if ignorance lead it astray,
What if there's no me to die?

What if every-thing's been provided,
What if all is shared,
What if no false identities,
What if nature truly cared?

What if no words spoken,
What if no sound,
What if stillness I AM,
What if in Presence IT found?

What if "I" let's go completely,
What if there's no me,
What if ALL IS one being,
What if only Truth could be?
