The Taoist sage Chuang-tzu relays the question: "'You are old, sir, while your complexion is like that of a child; how is it so?' "The reply was, 'I have become acquainted with the Tao.'" Acquaint yourself with the Tao and find a new level of peace. The Tao is the key to your immortality. Tao, in Chinese, means road, way or path. It also means the way something is done, the way of human behavior, or the course or movement of nature. Today, Tao usually means the 'way, ' 'the truth' or 'the teaching.' In Mysteries of the Tao, Elizabeth Clare Prophet expands on the astounding promise that the Tao is the key to immortality. Was immortality a legend, only aspired to in the past by great sages, or is it attainable for us now? Go beyond your perception of the Tao as an Eastern teaching, layered in enigmatic mysteries so different from our daily life. There is a bridge, from East to West, and kindly guidance. Are you looking beyond orthodox cultural norms and religious boundaries? Are you an intrepid explorer of the timeless truths within the major world religions? Elizabeth Clare Prophet takes you on a spiritual journey, an exploration of the Tao as a magnetic flow of divine intent, always available to you. The Tao can lead you by free will toward successively transcendent and peaceful stages of being. Lao Tzu, earliest known author of the Tao-te Ching, has a rich sense of irony and humor, harmoniously making light of our habitual errors. In his inimitable style, he offers you cryptic wisdom on the Taoist principles, turning your daily life into a journey of making better choices, tapping into your innate genius and spirit, to become your immortal self.
