The
Art of Tao Time
The most fundamental application of Tao
Time Zen Taoism is allow yourself to be, so that your
life may become a time of blossoming.
Through the implement I Ching,
Tao Time's gateless gateways of Three Currents, Twelve Branches
and the Fate Sequence navigate the chaos, suffering and
absurdity of the occurring world. Being in a Tao Time process
one comes to recognize and engage the courage to reach
for what the Clear Reality School describes as being an
ideal person.
The Process of Each Tao Time Way
Is
A different sort of guide to time management,
one that involves a complete change in thinking about time.
Based on the ancient ideas from the Chinese philosophy of
Lao-Tzu, it maps out a three-part program to achieve this
end; simplification. relaxation, trust in instinct, and
awareness of natural rhythms and harmony with the environment.
1. Be in the time you are in,
2. Be in the flow of your life
activity; intention, habits and happenstance.
3. Be in clarity and insight to
see, hear and feel the ebbs, flows, stillness of your waves
in the currents of present and coming time.
Tao Time's Zen Taoism is a mixture of the
pragmatic and ideological, of the straight-forward and the
mystical, of the physical and the psychological, the prosaic
and the poetic.
The
Zen Shojo
There are five varieties of Zen from ordinary
(Bompu), the outside way (Gedo), small vehicle (Shojo),
great vehicle (Daijo) and highest vehicle (Saijojo). Each
is a specific practice to attain certain and specific
natures of being.
The Shojo is designed to take
one to a different state of mindfulness and manifest a
corresponding reality. This small vehicle is so named
because it is designed to accommodate only one's self.
It is an expedient Zen focused on the early Hinayana
teachings of Buddha; self liberation, to be free of the
suffering, chaos and absurdity of the ordinary world.
Through the twelve branches I Ching
one moves through human situations, the nature of existence
in time and place and the structure of individuality towards
living an engaged creative life. Discipline becomes working
at something until you can play at it.
A totally experiential process, the Transformative
Tao sojourn landscape is one's life activities, including
intentional, habitual and happenstance. Everything is
material, those you encounter deliver messages, things
are given and taken away, stuff happens.
A well designed, diligently applied Transformative
Tao shojo navigates the occurring world. One
designs their vehicle in the Tao Time seminar experience
and codifies the inquiry at the pre-new moon session.
The engine is the nuclear hexagram of a casting result
of an inquiry of the oracle. Over 72 days through two
and a half lunar cycles the vehicle evolves twelve times
returning to itself on the twelfth branch.
The changes in reality are measured in
means and matters of one's dharma or occurring
world. Whatever one is focused on; personal development,
enterprise activity, spiritual deepening, or circumstance
transformations, to name a few examples, benefits in the
Tao Time Transformative Tao process by way of a Zen Shojo.
One's kufu; the realization of
individual creative potential - the one technique which
still remains when all techniques are learned is available
through the Tao Time processes.
Zen Taoism is informal. Ritual when useful,
Pragmatic action orientation, like a sleeping tiger, immediately
alert.
Folded into the Tao Time is the precept
be creative and receptive, transcending subject/object
dichotomy.
Transcendence is to overcome or
rise above, dichotomy is to separate or divide
into two, subject is frequently represented by
'I', object is frequently accomplished by subject,
or the person or thing to whom it is done.
Tao Time, through Zen Shojo disciplines,
provides one the means and matters to overcome (transcend)
that which divides or separates (dichotomy) us (subject)
from what we do, or the person or thing (object) to which
we are trying to relate. It provides a landscape where the
ghost between the teeth is released and an infinite way
of doing things is available,
To be in a Tao Time Zen Taoism way is the
Be of Be, Do, Have where Begetting, Becoming, Begoning is
the landscape.
