The Tao: The Sacred Way

"There are many translations of this book; all are different and all are the same.  None are accurate and none are false.  Ancient Chinese writing was not limited by the desire for preciseness.  It more resembled a series of pictures.  The people who would learn the message must swim in the characters and in the spaces around them.  What is not written is equal in importance to what is written.  Nothing can be seen by examining a page of the book unless at the same moment you examine your own heart."The Tao is universal.  Its words "are to be hung like bells in our hearts and rung by the motions we make as we move through our daily lives."  Here Tolbert McCarroll presents it in a unique version.  For the Western audience he offers concepts that make a bridge from the Tao to the Christian mystics, and his language includes both male and female experience.
