Tao # 67 / Three Treasures

Ф

All the world celebrates my Tao
understanding its brilliance and how
it shines because it is different
filled with spirit and physics
some say it is wrong
"there are too many words"
"the poems are too long"
still others are happy with its humour
and across the globe there are echoes of rumours

that through this opus
many are coming to the light
as they discover
their sacred treasures.
and begin to strive
partnering with each other
and the divine

As one travels this globe
visiting the cultures of the world
sojourners
awaken to the sacred universals

One to Three
Unity expressed in Trinity
Electron, Neutron, Proton
even binary will move on
"accentuate the positive
Eliminate the negative
Latch on to the affirmative
Don't mess with Mister In-Between"*

what was once viewed through binary
tommorrow we will describe with ternary
those who have three eyes can see
those who train their minds will grasp
all states
even those between
nothing is permanent or lasts

Let us reach into the baskets:
within the first we find
we are taught to feel with our senses;
within the second to use our minds;
third to move beyond space and time;
the way to be free
is through DivineUnity

Among the important measures
within every culture
is how we preserve our sacred treasures
which support her

one is compassion
another is economy
a third is humility

compassion engenders courage
economy encourages generosity
humility is the foundation of strong leadership

these days
people want courage without compassion
economy without restraint
leadership without discipline
This is death / The demise of society

first return to the root
remember the baskets
which are the cornucopia for the people
first feel the truth
second understand the truth
third we ask what do we owe?
then we say "I know IO"
and begin to repay
each and every day
living in the now
teaching how
we are one with the Tao

Spiritual Friends work together
in compassionate community
encouraging each to live the teachings
awakening to true divinity

The Center of Divine Life
is found within
the heart of every spiritual friend
where we gather
one finds flowing water
wash your hands
before you enter
within the tiratana

Compassion is the key
that opens the door to success
provides the strongest defense
demonstrates DivineUnity
resolving all difficulties
