Lao Tzu ~ Two Kinds of Blessings

July 3, 2014 Nā Hālau ʻĀha Hūi LanakilaLeave a comment

“There are two kinds of blessings. The first are worldly blessings, which are won by doing good deeds. These concern the mind, and thus are confined in time and space. The second is the integral blessing, which falls on those who achieve awareness of the Great Oneness. This awareness liberates you from the bondage of mind, time, and space to fly freely through the boundless harmony of the Tao. Similarly, there are two kinds of wisdom. The first is worldly wisdom, which is a conceptual understanding of your experiences. Because it follows after the events themselves, it necessarily inhibits your direct understanding of truth. The second kind, integral wisdom, involves a direct participation in every moment: the observer and the observed are dissolved in the light of pure awareness, and no mental concepts or attitudes are present to dim that light. The blessings and wisdom that accrue to those who practice the Integral Way and lead others to it are a billion times greater than all worldly blessings and wisdom combined.”

~ Lao Tzu

Lao Tzu ~ “We Join Thirty Spokes”

Remain aware that Lao Tzu reminds us that there is always Yin (the passive and empty component) that coexists with Yang (the active and shaping component). The two together provide the means to total action, total responsibility, lifefulness, and lovefulness. The importance of what is not defines the classical paradigm called enlightenment.

We join thirty spokes
To the hub of a wheel,
Yet it’s the centre hole
That drives the chariot.

We shape clay
To birth a vessel,
Yet it’s the hallow within
That makes it useful.

We chisel doors and windows
To construct a room,
Yet it’s the inner space
That makes it livable.

Thus do we create what is
To use what is not.

Awareness in Be-ing and Do-ing

“To lead people walk behind them.” — Lao Tzu

All that I DO

is the most natural

expression of

who I have become

and

who I AM.

~~

The deeper truths

that reside within us

sometimes surface

when we least expect it.

Train At The Halau!

USUI SYSTEM OF NATURAL HEALING (REIKI) Click on the Reiki tab and go to our Enrollment page link for information about our Reiki training program and to sign up. The Halau propagates traditional Japanese Usui Teate Reiki in addition to American Usui Shiki Ryoho Reiki knowledge and training. Most Usui Shiki Ryoho Reiki schools allow Level 3 Reiki Masters to attune new students. Unlike these schools, The Halau allows only our Usui Teate Grandmasters to propagate basic Reiki technique to beginners. Grandmasters are the only instructors with enough training and knowledge to attune new students. They are trained to perform both live (in-person) as well as astral (long-distance) attunements. We do not simply gather students as income: our training is for serious Reiki inquiries only.
