Tao Te Ching - verse 3

putting a value on status, will create contentiousness
if you over value possessions people begin to steal

by not displaying what is desirable
you will cause the peoples hearts to remain undisturbed

the sage governs by emptying minds and hearts
by weakening ambitions and strengthening bones

practice not doing
when action is pure and selfless
everything settles into its own perfect place

  1. action is pure and selfless when one is in the flow, in action
    gratitude, is not lusting after anything or anyone, but accepting what is in ones life now, what one is with not has, owning seems improbable
    the gift, is present, the miracle even - is being alive, breathing, live, living in the now, the present
    inaction, in action, effortless being, doing less, being, be in, being, not doing is being in the flow, selfless, as self is lost in the action not less SELF
    doing for the powering in the process, not the power in the goal
    status (state us) is self out of the one state or SELF
    the perfect place, is where - I am -
    I am now here, nowhere and everywhere
    where is the perfect place? - at the centre of the universe!
    the universe is infinite, that infinite infinity is infinite in all directions from where I am - at the centre of the universe - as is everything and everyone
    The perfect place is anywhere and now here, nowhere and everywhere ---- pure and self less SELF is everywhere being!
