Daoist concept of non action: Do nothing and there is nothing that is not done by Laozi. He means that if we come with fixed ideas and preconceptions, and try to impose our will on events, we are likely to fail. Action succeeds when it is, in a sense, non-action, when our acts are entirely in accord with the disposition of things, so that it's as if our desired outcomes just happen by themselves. Successful action depends on correctly perceiving the innate tendency of situations (what does 'the innate tendency of situations' mean?) and understanding the importance of timing. This requires full alertness to what is going on around us and within ~ Mountain Solitudes by Aat Vervoorn

Giving context to behaviours in marriage and relationships

We go through life perceiving events and objects and are mostly limited by not only our 5 senses, but by the filters we’ve learnt to develop from childhood onwards. These filters do not always serve us well. Or to use the words of the Dalai Lama, all has an origination – everything! I know...
