Reflections on the Tao Te Ching Chapter 6

The valley spirit, undying
Is called the Mystic Female
The gate of the Mystic Female
Is called the root of Heaven and Earth
It flows continuously, barely perceptible
Utilize it; it is never exhausted

​The mystic nature – we all have it however it is so often disregarded these days. If I can’t see it or perceive it with any of my five senses then it can’t be real!
In the modern world many refuse to believe in a power greater than them. Yet they – all of us- are part of that power. It is in all of us. We all have the ability and potential to ascend and transcend our earthly suffering. I feel as if things are going to get worse before they get better. Its part of the hero’s journey. The key is learning to ride the waves instead of allowing yourself to be overcome by them. Deep in the valley, high in the sky, it’s all around us that invisible force – chi, energy, life force – and it flows through us too. If we resist it then it causes problems – mental, physical, emotional and spiritual.
Simply ask – ‘Where am I resisting? Where am I blocking the flow?’ A healer, or a mystic or a psychic can help you if you are unable to find the answer yourself. Don’t give up though. Have faith, have patience and the answers will come; maybe in a way you can’t foresee. Remain open to the possibility. See and hear the messages you are receiving. You have a choice whether you will receive them or not but experience tells me if you don’t they will keep coming back until you do.
You can choose to write – allow your hand to be guided. Don’t make judgements about what appears on the page before you – even if it doesn’t seem it make sense. Eventually it will if you allow the messages you receive to seep into every pore. Breathe them in, embody them on a cellular level. Allow yourself to be in the flow of life now and for evermore.
