    About this ebook

    This volume serves as the central module in Fr.Axel's contemporary line-up of Heart of TAO books. Here the main theme of the author is the connection betwixt TAO and CONSCIOUSNESS. Like colourful plum blossoms emerging from a white, barren Winterlandscape: So our Youniverse sprouts into existence via Consciousness or Tao. It needs the background of the frozen Winterworld to give meaning to the blossoming purple plum blossoms: Turning into the foreground of our Awareness. Announcing springtime and renewed hope in the Circle of Life.
    Fr.Axel draws extensively on neurophysiology, radical constructivism and quantum mechanics to support his argument, that Tao and Consciousness share a deep underlying connection. Indeed: They are flipsides of the same coin called Unified Field.
    In the final part of this tome, the author provides us with proven formulas to gain access to our hidden Soul: Our direct current to Tao. When we allow for Empty Space within ourselves, Tao can manifest. When our Bodysape is acting as a cage - keeping Tao out - we can not unite with Tao.
    We have to allow Darkness in, so that every tiny spark of light becomes magnified to guide us to Heaven. Only in the Void, tiny Slivers of Eternal Light can appear in our Awareness. By reading this book, the reader is on the sure Way to Get It: Tao in this lifetime!

      FINDING THE HEART OF TAO

      Today we are living cold ashes of love.

      In a world spiralling out of control: Chaos.

      Heart of TAO (HOT) venerates

      Lord Lao and the 8 Lucky Saints

      as Spiritual Embodiments of the WAY.

      Helping mankind overcoming Spiritual Death by

      finding the Heart of TAO amongst the Stars.

      HOT welcomes everybody,

      irrespective of race or creed; who follows

      the WAY of the HEART:

      Taoist Traditions and the Liturgical Cycle of Festivals.

      We feel alone and marooned in a uncaring hostile universe.

      Thus HOT seeks overall dialogue with variant

      Consciousnesses and religious Beliefs across One Cosmos.

      We practice devotion through prayer,

      distribution of oil, candles, incense, and Taoist Scriptures.

      Keeping the Taoist Faith alive in the End of Times:

      Amidst increasing human perversions and barbarism:

      Transvaluation of Values.

      HOT encourages Chaos:

      Letting the 10 000 Things Go their Own Way.

      Because Order can not be established in Order.

      Because Chaos can not be established in Chaos.

      Therefore Order must emerge from Creative Chaos.

      Our past life is unredeemable: Black Time. Black Karma.

      Thus HOT provides formulas and enlightened teachings

      to achieve Spiritual Liberation in this lifetime.

      Preparing to die today:

      In order to live tomorrow.

      We strive to put emphasis back into our HEART as the centre of wisdom:

      Our Emotional Intelligence.

      Developing our HEART:

      To reach the ROSE GARDEN in HEAVEN.

      Thus we meditate on the HOT Mandala:

      Inner Pilgrimage to Holy Places.

      Accumulating Personal Merit.

      Assisting devotees to accumulate Merit.

      HOT serves the community in achieving Spiritual Peace,

      good fortune and improved health.

      Forgiveness and Salvation are thus attainable for Everyone.

      Every minute.

      Within the pure Heart of TAO.

      THE HEART OF TAO SYSTEM

      INTRODUCTION

      When you have picked up this book - believe it or not: You are already enlightened! YOU ARE TAOIST CONSCIOUSNESS. Right here. Whilst thumbing through these pages. No classes to attend. No traveling required - to visit some guru or swami or master at the end of the world.

      TAO is already with you. Wherever and whenever you are. You just don't know it. But you will. After you have finished this text, you will have 'Got It'.

      Contrary to what other spiritual teachers might want you to believe, there are no extended meditations necessary. No mantras to chew on. No huffing and puffing during Taoist calisthenics.

      Because you've already 'Got TAO'; there is NOTHING to learn here. NOTHING to accomplish. It's right in front of you - or right within you. Depends on your viewpoint. If you like, you can throw this book away. Because there is NOTHING here, what you don't know already: Deep down in your Soul.

      You will also learn to heal yourself. As a by - product of Taoist Enlightenment. Becoming reconnected to that PRIMORDIAL ORGIN of the 10 000 THINGS. Finding again your forgotten umbilical cord to the SOURCE. The UNIFIED FIELD.

      The reason I wrote this book, is to make it the central theme in a symphony orchestra of related Heart of TAO books. The main theme. And this tune vibrates with TAO and CONSCIOUSNESS. Our topic will sing for a return back to the Great Mother大母. TAO道. By befriending the unfathomable Valley Spirit谷神. By turning everything we know about our person and world Upside Down上下翻转. Inverting all our treasured Values颠倒. Topsy - Turvy World乱七八糟的. The world of the Eight Lucky Saints八仙 and their spiritual Master, Lord Lao老君.

      I have made here extensive use of J.H. McDonald's public domain translation of the Book of TAO & Virtue道德經.

      MAY THE 8 LUCKY SAINTS BE WITH YOU!

      Rev.Fr.Axel莲生法師

      Hong Kong, 16 February 2018, [Chinese New Year]

      The author in front of the Taoist Temple in Quezon City.

      OUTLINE OF THIS BOOK

      1. LORD LAO PRESENTS HIS BOOK ON TAO & VIRTUE

      LORD LAO SHOWS UP A LITTLE BIT LATE

      It was the birthday of Queen Mother of West西王母. All the Immortals, Gods and Fairies had traveled from all over the world to Cavernous Mountain崑崙. Bringing gifts and and felicitations. They all paid their respects to Queen Mother. And having a jolly good time in her Peach Orchard.

      Later, our 8 Lucky Saints also arrived. They presented new tunes of wonderment. They began to dance and then played merrily on their musical instruments. So that the illustrious guests began to sway to their happy rhythms. Party time!

      It was around sunset, when a Purple Cloud appeared on the horizon. Onatop the cloud sat Highest Supreme Lord Lao太上老君. His Cloud Vessel descended upon the assembled guests in the Peach Orchard: ''I am a little bit late'', gasped Lord Lao seemingly out of breath, ''But I finally made it, didn't I?'' ''Sure you did, and I am happy to see you, Enlightened Teacher. My birthday bash isn't complete without your divine presence'', Queen Mother said to him.

      Lord Lao alighted from his nubivagant transport vessel and was led by two Virtuous Children to the place of honour, right beside the 10 000 - year old birthday girl. Lord Lao partook from the fresh, ready - made cool peaches. He regained his strength by eating specially prepared dishes of health and vigour. Next, he drank a glass of freshly fermented peach wine, a thick syrupy concoction for the distinguished connoissseur.

      LORD LAO BEARS A GIFT

      ''I have here with me a special birthday present for you, my Dear Old Lady Friend. It is a manuscript of utmost importance for all mankind. I dedicate this book to you, Dear Queen Mother, guiding and supporting people in their struggle to follow TAO. Have you not been my Treasured Taotesse in the past?''

      QUEEN MOTHER WAS BEHIND IT ALL THE TIME

      Queen Mother's eyelashes began to flutter upon this public acknowledgment. Bashfully she lowered her head. Lord Lao made a pause in his presentation to Queen Mother. And then he continued: ''You are the Genii behind my Disclosure of TAO to the world. You were the One - Oh Yes! - teaching me the importance of striving for TAO. Without you, I could never have written this scripture to enlighten suffering mankind!'', declared Lord Lao, whilst bowing respectfully to Queen Mother.

      ''Oh, I am so flattered, thank you, Revered Teacher, for bestowing this honour upon me. But please, go ahead and reveal your priceless teachings to my birthday guests!'', replied Queen Mother in delight; whilst clapping her delicate hands.

      LORD LAO READS HIS BOOK OF TAO & VIRTUE

      ''Very well'', exclaimed Lord Lao, ''Here are the chapters of my latest book. I will read them aloud, so that all our friends here can understand my words. Even when slightly tipsy with peach liquor.'' Thus spake Lord Lao and flew up to a elevated rock in the Peach Orchard. There he sat with the divine scroll in his hands. From his lofty position, he began to read out in his reverberating voice. His strong vocalities rhythmically swayed the whole assembly of Queen Mother's birthday bash. He vibrated the following profound words of enlightenment into the world of man. Putting his heavy words into light existence. Into shared reality:

      CHAPTER ONE

      THUS SPAKE LORD LAO:

      >>TAO THAT CAN BE ASCRIBED TO SOMETHING:

      IS NOT ETERNAL TAO.

      A NAME ASSIGNED:

      IS NOT A NAME ETERNAL.

      THE NAMELESS IS BOUNDARY OF HEAVEN & EARTH.

      THE ONE NAMED:

      IS THE MOTHER OF ITS CREATION.

      BECOMING DETACHED FROM ALL FORMS OF DESIRE.

      BECOMING ENABLED TO SEE THE MYSTERY HIDDEN WITHIN.

      BY DESIRING EVERYTHING:

      YOU WILL ONLY SEE ITS SURFACE.

      THE OBSCURED AND THE OBVIOUS:

      THEY EMERGE FROM THAT SAME SOURCE:

      THE WELL OF DARKNESS.

      DARKNESS SPAWNED FROM OBSCURITY.

      UNDERSTANDING THE BEGINNING.
