Tao Wisdom Is Super-Aging Wisdom


Tao Wisdom Is Super-Aging Wisdom

Super-aging wisdom is the capability to live your golden years as if everything is a miracle. That means: you must have an empty mindset without any pre-conditioned thinking; you must live in the present, without thinking of the past, or worrying about the future; you must embrace all life challenges and difficulties, instead of avoiding them. They are some of the essentials of Tao wisdom.

What is Tao wisdom?

Tao wisdom  is the wisdom of Lao Tzu, the ancient sage from China, who  was the author of Tao Te Chingthe immortal classic on human wisdom

The interpretations of Tao Te Ching are as many as its translations. They are all based on their own interpretations of Lao Tzu’s masterpiece with respect to their own views, just like the three blind men touching different parts of the same elephant and describing what an elephant looks like..

Tao or the Way is a means to an end, but not an end itself. That is to say, we follow Tao to some destination, but Tao is neither a destination nor the destination.

Tao is above and beyond human wisdom, but it is not divine wisdom. Simply, Tao may be the Way between human wisdom and divine wisdom. It helps us understand the true nature of man and his role in the world of creation, and thus connects us directly or indirectly to the Creator.

Tao is about the thinking mind. We are human, and it is human nature to follow and cling to human wisdom as a beacon of light to show us the way. As a result, we have developed a conditioned mind of thinking, which only further impairs human wisdom, already frail and fragile as it is due to human imperfections. In contrast to conventional human wisdom, Tao is about reverse thinking that renders the human mind more receptive to spiritual wisdom.

Tao is not a religion, although it has been associated with religions, such as Zen, Buddhism, and Taoism. Tao was never meant to be an object of human pursuit or worship; that is why Tao is also called “the Way” to show us a direction or pathway to divine wisdom. It is just a means to an end, and the end is spiritual wisdom..

Tao is not God’s wisdom; at best, it is only distilled human wisdom that may lead to the ultimate understanding of spiritual wisdom.

Tao wisdom may give you happiness as you continue to age
