Tao Te Ching - Change Your Thoughts, Change Your Life

TAO TE CHING
Considered to be the wisest book ever written
with the potential to positively and forever change your life

Wayne Dyer analyses and writes a new version of the book "Tao Te Ching", which is based on the ancient teachings of Lao Tzu, a spiritual and philosophical teacher that lived in China. The "Tao Te Ching" was written 2500 years ago by Lao Tzu and even today, is still considered by many spiritual teachers as the wisest and most profound book ever written, one that changes perspectives about ourselves, others and the whole world.

Understanding the teachings in this book and putting them into practice can, in and individual and collective level, create a mental and spiritual revolution, transforming the world into one filled with equality, oneness, happiness, peace, harmony and love.

"The sage is kind to the kind,
and kind to the unkind,
because the Nature of its being
is kindness.
Be wise and help all beings impartially,
abandoning none"

Lao Tzu - Tao Te Ching

"Sages do not accumulate anything,
but give everything to others,
having more,
the more they give" 
Lao Tzu - Tao Te Ching

 He who knows does not speak,
He who speaks does not know.
He who knows others is wise,
He who know himself is enlightened.
Lao Tzu - Tao Te Ching

"Change Your Thoughts, Change Your Life"
Living the Wisdom of the Tao Te Ching

By Wayne Dyer
www.drwaynedyer.com

"This is a book that will forever change the way you look at your life, and the result will be that you’ll live in a new world aligned with nature. Writing this book changed me forever, too. I now live in accord with the natural world and feel the greatest sense of peace I’ve ever experienced."

"When you change the way you look at things,
the things you look at change."

Wayne Dyer

Introduction:

Five hundred years before the birth of Jesus, a God-realized being named Lao-tzu in ancient China dictated 81 verses, which are regarded by many as the ultimate commentary on the nature of our existence. The classic text of these 81 verses, called the Tao Te Ching or the Great Way, offers advice and guidance that is balanced, moral, spiritual, and always concerned with working for the good.

In this book, Dr. Wayne W. Dyer has reviewed hundreds of translations of the Tao Te Ching and has written 81 distinct essays on how to apply the ancient wisdom of Lao-tzu to today’s modern world. This work contains the entire 81 verses of the Tao, compiled from Wayne’s researching of 10 of the most well-respected translations of text that have survived for more than 25 centuries. Each chapter is designed for actually living the Tao or the Great Way today. Some of the chapter titles are “Living with Flexibility,” “Living Without Enemies,” and “Living by Letting Go.” Each of the 81 brief chapters focuses on living the Tao and concludes with a section called “Doing the Tao Now.”

Wayne spent one entire year reading, researching, and meditating on Lao-tzu’s messages, practicing them each day and ultimately writing down these essays as he felt Lao-tzu wanted you to know them.

This is a work to be read slowly, one essay a day. As Wayne says, “This is a book that will forever change the way you look at your life, and the result will be that you’ll live in a new world aligned with nature. Writing this book changed me forever, too. I now live in accord with the natural world and feel the greatest sense of peace I’ve ever experienced. I’m so proud to present this interpretation of the Tao Te Ching, and offer the same opportunity for change that it has brought me."

Mastering others is strength. Mastering yourself is true power.
When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be.
To the mind that is still, the whole universe surrenders.
At the center of your being you have the answer: you know who you are and you know what you want.

Lao Tzu - Tao Te Ching

A few principles of the Tao Te Ching:

"The root of all suffering is fear, the root of all happiness is unconditional love"

"Let go and let God"

"More is less, less is more"

"See everything as miraculous"

"You accomplish much, by trying less"

"Do what you love and love what you do"

 "There is no way to happiness, happiness is the way"

"Happiness is not having what we want, but wanting what we have"

"It is when we die while we are alive, that we really start to live"

"Wisdom is knowing I am nothing, Love is knowing I am everything, and in between the two my life flows"

"The purpose of life is to live, and to live means to evolve into unconditional love, to be in peace, harmony, oneness and happiness"

Documentary - The Indigo Evolution

"The Indigo Evolution" is a documentary that attempts to answer the question - Are these 'Indigos' only the fanciful notions of a few individuals embracing new-age, metaphysical beliefs, or is there real evidence that they truly do exist? Most importantly, why are they here and how can we help them achieve their goal of creating a world based upon the laws of compassion and peace? Interviews with some of the most profound children on the planet today combined with discussions with authorities in the fields of medicine, psychology, education, philosophy, and religion will provide information for the viewer to draw their own conclusions to these questions.

'The Indigo Evolution' is a documentary about the shifting human, evolving beyond the five sensory perceptions into a multi-sensory being of light ! The term Indigo refers to the Indigo color Aura seen around certain individuals who exhibit certain enhanced abilities well beyond their age and learning. Commonly labeled as suffering from some kind of deficit (ADD, ADHD, Dyslexia ...) these children clearly have more of something most of us fail to recognize. Their non conformance to authority and the social conditioning sometimes earns them the label of being problem children.

Indigo Evolution, a feature-length documentary by James Twyman, was released Jan. 28, 2006 in more than 350 churches and wellness and spiritual centers around the world. The attendance far exceeded expectations, demonstrating how interest in understanding the "Indigo phenomenon" has grown. Indigo Evolution illuminates the lives of children who are referred to as "Indigos." The movie describes them as creative, eccentric and independent. Impatient with the status quo, these children possess a high degree of integrity and intuition. Many are both intelligent and gifted, often in the areas of art and technology, and some are said to bring healing gifts.

According to Indigo Evolution, Indigos often sound very wise for their age; however, they are very sensitive physically, emotionally and spiritually, and not always comfortable in their own bodies. They easily experience sensory overload to lights, smells, sounds, touching and toxins, and need help in becoming grounded. Many Indigos have attention and social problems in school and may frequently correct the teacher. While their behaviors vary, their philosophy of life is consistent; they have a high level of social consciousness and desire to make the world a better place. They are here to bring the Dawn of the Golden Age!

Overdose: The Next Financial Crisis

'Overdose' is the story of the greatest economic crisis of our age - the one that awaits us.   

In times of crisis people seek strong leaders and simple solutions. But what happens when their solutions are identical to the mistakes that caused the very crisis?

The documentary traces the origins of the financial crisis and explores the eerie similarities with today's situation, where states like Greece, Iceland and even the U.S. seems to be in danger of collapsing.

Among those interviewed are experts who were mocked when they predicted the current crisis. Other interviewees include Nobel laureate Vernon Smith and former US Comptroller General David Walker (I.O.U.S.A).

Eco-villages and Permaculture - The way to change the world

Eco-villages and Permaculture have a powerful and positive philosophical and practical vision to transform humankind and the world, to one where we can live sustainably and in harmony with each other, with all living beings and the Earth.

In here we present some information regarding the Eco-villages and Permaculture philosophies and perspectives, and how it is shaping a new positive way of living with ourselves and the Earth.

ECO-VILLAGES:

Ecovillages are urban or rural communities of people, who strive to integrate a supportive social environment with a low-impact way of life. To achieve this, they integrate various aspects of ecological design, permaculture, ecological building, green production, alternative energy, community building practices, and much more (...).

PERMACULTURE:

Permaculture (the word, coined by Bill Mollison, is a portmanteau of permanent agriculture and permanent culture) is the conscious design and maintenance of agriculturally productive ecosystems which have the diversity, stability, and resilience of natural ecosystems. It is the harmonious integration of landscape and people — providing their food, energy, shelter, and other material and non-material needs in a sustainable way. Without permanent agriculture there is no possibility of a stable social order.

Permaculture design is a system of assembling conceptual, material, and strategic components in a pattern which functions to benefit life in all its forms.

The philosophy behind permaculture is one of working with, rather than against, nature; of protracted and thoughtful observation rather than protracted and thoughtless action; of looking at systems in all their functions, rather than asking only one yield of them; and allowing systems to demonstrate their own evolutions.

Controlling Our Food: Future of Food + The World According To Monsanto

Genetically Modified Organisms represent the worst danger for the environment, animals and humanity.


The Future of Food:

There is a food revolution happening in America today. People are seeking out farmers markets, organic produce and good restaurants. At the same time, our food supply is increasingly controlled by multi-national corporations. Over the past 10 years, with the advent of genetic engineering and the massive expansion of pesticide companies, like Monsanto, into the seed business, the very nature of our food system has radically changed with potentially disastrous effects on our food security. Patenting of life is now permitted, no labeling of genetically modified organisms (GMO's) in food is required, research is conducted on these issues by universities beholden to the "agri-corps" who fund them, and the major regulatory agencies are run by former execs from these very companies.

All the while, the average citizens remain blissfully unaware that they are eating GMO food and supporting the aggressive "corporatization' of their food sources. In fascinating and accessible terms, 'The Future of Food' illuminates the major issues ultimately affecting us all -- some surreal, some futuristic, many frightening. Yet, 'The Future of Food' is a hopeful film, featuring insightful and moving interviews with farmers, agriculture and business experts and policymakers. It sees a future in which an informed consumer can join the revolution by demanding natural, healthy food sources that insure environmental integrity.




The World According To Monsanto:

A great documentary exposing the criminal agricultural corporation called Monsanto and the story of Roundup and Roundup Ready Soybeans. This documentary makes an in-depth investigation into unlabeled, patented, genetically engineered foods that have quietly made their way onto grocery stores in the United States for the past decade. It voices the opinions of farmers in disagreement with the food industry and details the impacts on their lives and livelihoods from this new technology, and shines a light on the market and political forces that are changing what we eat.

The film decries the cost of a globalized food industry on human lives around the world and the environment, highlighting how international companies are gradually driving farmers off the land in many countries. Potential global dependence of the human race on a limited number of global food corporations is discussed, as is the increased risk of ecological disasters -- such as the Irish Potato Famine (1845--1849) -- resulting from the reduction of biological diversity due to the promotion of corporate sponsored monoculture farming.

The issue of incorporating a terminator gene into plant seeds is questioned, with concern being expressed about the potential for a widespread catastrophe affecting the food supply, should such a gene contaminate other plants in the wild. Legal stories reported by the film related how a number of farmers in North America have been sued by Monsanto; and the defendant of the Monsanto Canada Inc. v. Schmeiser case is interviewed.
