Tao Te Ching
 

I recently have been listening to Wayne Dyer's essays on the Tao Te Ching.
These teachings make a lot of sense to me. I had never heard of it until recently. Anyone else making sense of this?
Some of it makes perfect sense and others are difficult for me.

Pay particular attention to the things that are difficult. There's a reason they're difficult. Some parts of the Way require more work than others. You know the expression "You can't teach an old dog new tricks"? The problem isn't the tricks.

The Way of the Tao is my personal philosophy. Wayne Dyer does a really good job of presenting these truths to a mainstream audience.

but

The tao that can be named is not the tao.

I love the poetry of the Tao Te Ching, a great deal of it makes sense and puts a new perspective on many things. However, as I read it, there is a ... sense of idleness in the pursuit of the Way that I could not live by. If I felt the Way I would want to explore it and apply it to the rest of the universe. I know that is not the language it uses, however, I have a very inquisitive mind, and the pursuit of the truth behind the universe is far more fascinating to me. Once I feel and know one thing, I naturally want to know another.

I'll have to stop into Borders again and read it.
