About this listen

 I decided to write this book after having written several books on the applications of Taoism in different areas. Another of my books, The Tao of Human Interaction, deals with applying the principles of Taoism to human interactions to make them more effective. The Handbook for the Practical Psychic applies Taoism to the spiritual aspects of Taoism. It is directed towards psychic practices such as card reading and divination.

The applications of Taoism are broad. For everything that has been written, it remains poorly understood. There are several reasons for this. I have practiced Taoism for most of my life. I studied under a Taoist Master and spent many years in a temple. I have read a great deal on the subject. What I have discovered is that most of what is written is unclear and, in many cases, misleading. Having practiced Taoism for most of my life,

I live the Tao, and I have helped others to live it. The reason why it's so difficult to describe Tao is because people are attempting to do so through the lens of cognitive understanding and science. The Taoist perspective is something completely different, so it does not lend itself well to be described through science or logic. I will get more into this later in the book. In attempting to cast Taoism in terms of logic or science, most of what makes it unique and effective is lost. In China during the Cultural Revolution, the ideas of Taoism were banned, and many intellectuals, including my master, fled the country.

To understand the Tao, you need to live it. This sounds like one of those nebulous or illusionary things you will find in many books on spirituality. In this case, Tao cannot be explained.

I write this book to help people understand what it is and how it can be applied to making fundamental and powerful changes within your life. I teach aspects of this system to individuals and businesses. On the surface, the system is simple and fundamental. For this reason, many people are tempted to pass it off as being nothing more than insubstantial fluff. However, Taoism is much more than this. I will attempt in this book to explain what Taoism is. I will explain its different perspectives, how to experience it, and how to use it as a functional tool.

I will explain why it is incompatible with the system of logic and science that most of us have grown up with. This is not to say that Taoism is no less effective at defining the world and making you successful within it. It is merely a different approach. To understand Taoism and apply it, you have to stop trying to compare it to logic and science. You need to look at it from its very unique perspective. Within this book and the second one, I will also teach many skills and techniques to develop your Taoist insight. This will help you operate more effectively within the world around you.

I will teach you how to use it to make pragmatic changes in your life. These can include improving your lifestyle and developing better relationships with yourself and the people around you. It can also be applied to improving business skills and other applications within your jobs or careers. Its applications can span creativity to the organization.
When Taoism is practiced correctly, it is not just some strange esoteric philosophy. The Tao is dynamic and intricate.
