A Tribute to the Tao
Earth
The Tao is an expression of all things, all manner, all material.​
​
Literature on the Earth Trigram of the Tao.
You came and danced upon the Earth,
planned a future for your birth.
Worth is pivotal in the electromagnetic sphere. It changes the direction of all manner. Manner being the way we look at things.
Point and Click is not the way into
Feeling Powerfully in Alignment with our Experience of Belonging
by Janice Brown (August 25, 2024)
Our deepest selves are always rooted in abundance and sense of worth.
If you’re seeking and searching, with a lack of self-awareness, the first place you go may be the last place you look.
Why is that?
Simple awareness is enough to keep us rooted in life. But to be desperate to belong can bring a sense of relief, just to have someone near who is feeling the same sort of feeling as you. As you progress in deeper learning and spiritual evolution, you will become what some may term a soothsayer, a charlatan, a guru, a hope for the future.
And then where does that leave you? At a loss for words? Stuck in feelings of despair? Dropping off the face of the Earth only to come up smiling and wearing a new silk tie?
The reality of who you are is more profound than you can imagine. It simply doesn’t compute to get buffeted around by the complexities of the human mind and the push and pull on your own psyche. Your own virtual landscape simply stills into a quiet, peaceful sea.
It’s not lack of awareness or consideration for what others think; it’s lack of bother. It doesn’t bother you anymore when someone doesn’t understand your own motivations, your own insights, your own needs.
What does matter is coming to a deep and abiding faith in Self. Some may see this perhaps as a sense of being dismissive from time to time, but all it really is is a new level of certainty, broached with confidence and civility.
It’s not having to feel flustered by a lack of feedback or crickets in your message box. It’s stopping and breathing and feeling a fullness that arrives from within. It’s watching the time turn forward and back a few times as you come to new understandings about your own experience.
​
And yes, it’s being forthright when you may have acquiesced before.
At times, we try desperately to belong in a world that doesn’t really even exist for us anymore, and that’s one of the first realizations you’ll have that you have outgrown an idea or experience that you have been living.
It doesn’t fit you anymore; it can’t hold you without you desperately trying to hang on to a point of attachment.
​
I see it a little like being straddled between a dock and a boat; the boat is drifting out, and you’re meant to move with it, but you want the stability of the familiar, so are reluctant to let go of your perch on the dock.
You’ll land firmly on the in-between if you don’t make your move. Perhaps you’ll feel torn apart from the inside as you cling to both, and they keep separating and moving with their own rhythm. The fall doesn’t hurt so bad if you can swim, if you are comfortable in your new position, or if you can swim a few strokes simply float around and play, but if you only look at it as treading water within reach of the shoreline, it’s always going to feel like a struggle.
Like neither aspect cared.
It will feel like you don’t matter or weren’t worth saving or valued. None of these things are true, but the feeling that comes from being in this position will keep you locked down in that headspace, locked in that heartspace.
Once you see it, you’re fine. Once you walk through it a time or two, you’ll remember you can just stand up and walk right out of that situation.
You’ll see your own value.
Know your own worth.
And that’s when you’ll stop looking so hard because you’ll know you already belong.
In the study of SolePath, you’ll find that SolePath is the Category for the Earth Trigram of the Tao~that’s how very important it is.
Nothing Matters More
by Janice Brown (April 4, 2024)
I have come to the conclusion that after all these years of research, nothing matters more than how we think about it, and for that reason alone we are obligated to think and pursue the highest, best outcome at all costs.
Whatever you think may be a problem will wind itself toward you the longer and harder you look at it. So what’s the world to do when it finds itself in a predicament of truth and distortion of truth? It must be our sole obligation to move forward no matter what.
No matter what seems to be the case, the real disturbance is in the way of thinking about not in the actuality of the event or occurrence.
There are times this seems incredibly simple-minded, and were it not for an alternative, the potential, the high realization could not exist. But here’s the kicker: this will always be the case. It’s incumbent upon each and every one of us to pursue excellence without hesitation and see where the chips fall from time to time instead of obligating them to move in a certain direction.
Being in pursuit of the worst possible outcome has landed us in a heck of a turbulent situation.
No more, my friends. No more. We are certain that if we continue to look for the best, we will continue to find the best, and so that is my pitch to you today.
Think about what you’re thinking about, and when you find a shadow of a doubt creep in, stop what you are doing and look in another direction. Doubt will pursue you as long as you give it a foothold. But once you recognize that the obligation to doubt is self-made, you will recognize that it can only be there as long as you allow it to be.
Look in another direction and pursue the highest, best outcome.
And this is where we are headed to the realization and the highest potential of all mankind, and maybe you don’t think it can be so, but I know it to be. And as long as I know it, it will find a way forward.
​
And so that’s how you’ve got to come to think about things. Not with an air and grace of foolishness but with a high degree of certainty. And with certainty comes the realization of ‘how to be’ in the most refined and purposeful state.
And so from here on in, from this point forward: We Can. We Will. And, We May.
It’s all we can do. It doesn’t matter how many shovels full of dirt you move if the landslide is still happening. You’ve got to move the mountain to the other side of the road and forget about it. You've got to pick up the earth and plop it down on the other side of the street and think that’s the best she’s looked in a long time and let her settle into a new formation.
A formation of hope, and worth, and resilience. And let me tell you the trickiest part of all of this: it’s waiting for the other shoe to drop. You’ve got to decide you’re a one-shoe soldier and be triumphant and purposeful in thought and easy about the purpose of the recognition of an alternative outcome.
It Can only Be what it Will, IF you allow it to May Be.
Do you understand?
​
No more parties for the lowest common denominator. No more research funding all the potential of the terrible worst outcome. No more, ‘This is the only way I can see it happening and let me allow myself to prove it to you.'
It will wind itself forward through the mud and the murk to land itself squarely on your lap if you keep calling it forward. We have a moral and an ethical obligation to research with the highest, best outcome in mind instead of distilling the world into tragedy.
It is the most important thing.
And the thing we keep looking at is the thing that went wrong, and exacerbating it to a point of absolute obligation of fulfillment. What a travesty of potential Human Resources, and I don’t use the statement lightly.
We can always convolute the fuck out of things, but when we get down to bare basics, we are responsible for the outcomes that have landed us in the troubles we have found because we, for no other reason, have found a willingness for it to be there. And so it migrated itself forward so we could find it again.
Now I know the difficulty and the challenge it has been for myself to recognize a new way of being, and I’m not saying it’s any easier a task than the next, but I am saying it is the most worthwhile pursuit of your life.
So when you sit down at the dinner table tonight, say everything here looks delicious, and there isn't any reason that I’m not going to eat my fill and then come back for a little dollop more of that over there because it was absolute deliciousness.
-
Not, I Can, but I shouldn’t.
-
Not, I Will worry about what that leftover bite is doing to my body.
-
Not, I Won’t recognize what a reality Is, IF I keep putting on the reality that it only has one potential that ‘I don’t wish to see.’
It will be the most wonderful day when you say, I loved every minute of what I did along the way, and I’m going to see what I can do tomorrow to love it more. It will be groundbreaking, earth-shaking news when everyone gets on board in a singular direction of hope, and hope is the only resource I have used for the longest time. It is the moral high ground.
There is no such thing as false hope, only a lack of willingness to look in another direction. And take it from me: I have done my best, and I have done my worst, and I have decided that there is no point pursuing that path like an old alley cat knocking around the trash bins.
It must be seen as a highest-level resource to move in the most purposeful direction, no matter what it looks like. When you live by feel, you can’t plant your foot in a world in distortion. And as long as you are feeling the batwing of fear whispering around your purchase point, you are going to find a reason to not be available for the highest best outcome.
You need to slow down and soothe yourself into the next best feeling and keep marching forward a micro-millimetre at a time if that’s what it takes. And from this point forward know you Will BE cause you Can.
​
​
​
And that’s all that really matters to obligate something forward. Once you May it to Be, it Will Be so. So watch your words, your thoughts, and your deeds, and re-cognize why you are doing it. Because no matter what you think might happen, what can only truly be is what you truly are.
And so, That Which Isn’t, Won’t.
And it’s a little confusing; some might even think scary as this is sorting itself out. You need to give yourself time to right the apple cart in the right direction, but when you do, it’s going to pop itself right out of the muck field and leave you looking all shiny and new.
​
And that’s where we are headed folks, into the land of shiny and new. So watch what you wish for and decide you Can do more, have more, be more. Because this life of limitation is about to get up ended by yours truly, and when you watch where we are going, you’re going to see where we have left ourselves behind at every turn in the road. And that’s going to feel like a relief.
An incredible relief, because when you know this is where you stepped sideways, it’s a hell of a lot easier to step yourself forward into a position of alignment than it has ever been. And alignment has to be our only goal. Alignment of purpose. Alignment of worth. Alignment of resilience. And knowing, truly Knowing, that it Can Be so.
It will work. It will work like a gangbuster's oil spill works to realign the port authority into a new way of consideration for all docking of materials. We need a light to shine so brilliantly that it could not be purchased by a shipwreck of doubt.
And that’s the route we need to walk upon now. Knowing that even though I wish it were different, it Can Be so, IF I choose to walk it forward in the highest direction, not sidestep my worth and make it backfill a necessary quota. But if I step forward and say, ‘This is what we’re going to do. And why? Because it works.’
Not because it’s the problem that has been set upon the table. We’ve got to reverse engineer our thinking process and then step forward from here, not there. Because when you step forward from there, you always land in the sinkhole, and the sinkhole makes you think it’s always going to be there. It isn’t.
It’s only there because you have allowed it to be in your thinking process. And this is the problem of the Thinking Mind: you allow it to unravel what Can Be by looking at it through the lens of distortion instead of looking at it from the lens of truth.
And you know it, and I know it. That there’s going to be some changes around here that not everyone is going to agree with. What do you do to keep the obligation of worth? You pursue the highest, best outcome instead of the lowest common denominator, which, quite frankly, will always be licking at your heels, as long as you give it a purchase point.
And we’re going to talk a lot about high worth and perception, and over time you’re simply going to realize that what you have set down at the side of the road simply ceased to be once you were looking at it from another light.
So I implore you, I encourage you, and I commend you for your choice to be here. To think I know it Can Be different and then making it so. Make it so. Make it so.
It begins with an idea, and when the idea is a purchase point of high order, it must fulfill itself in an obligatory way as well. It must. It May. It Can. It Will. And that’s the realization of worth, my friends. To see All that Can Be in its highest order of form and not grant the position of the lowest realization and opportunity to be there.
It will if you oblige it in uncertainty, and that’s where the real work begins.
​
How do I move forward when I’m not sure of my next step? There can be only one next step so make it the one that courts you with the high outcome, not the low steady thrum of distortion.
You don’t realize where you’ve put the ball down so many times and decided you’ve nothing to play with. You have always had the ball in your court; you have just looked the other way, pretending it is not here because it is not in your field of view. And that’s the truth of who you are in distortion. Without light added firmly to your play reel, you’ll always be tripping through the dark looking for a lightswitch that was always sitting right there in your pocket.
You are the Light. Turn it on and turn around. Look for the best view and move that way. Move that way. Move that way. That is your true alignment; where the light hits the shadow, it will look like a different view.
Displacement of fear is purposeful. It helps you realize where you have made misplaced choices along the way, and the re-conditioning of this is where all the work is done in disharmonious service to the self.
You can see it quite clearly, but you can’t literally believe you did this to yourself, so you’ll keep looking in another direction until you come squarely to the realization that ‘I am here’ is the most important word you will ever say.
And once you start kicking that Can across the court, it’s going to turn into a majestic creature of light and worth. So stop what you’re doing and say, ‘I Can, I Will and I May Be in alignment each and every day.’
Because once I am here, I know I am here in purpose. And once I am here in purpose, I know I am here in worth. And once I am here in purpose and worth, All That Can Be May Be; All That May Be Will.
And then it is done. It is so. It is complete and always has been.
It’s just that you’ve been looking through the proverbial trap door in the floor instead of realizing you could be looking at it from the top. And that there, that’s a golden nugget, so don’t forget to take yourself there from time to time. And realize that once you do this once, you can do it over and over again, and that’s where high worth kicks into high gear and starts re-writing the past just like it was some story script that could have always been so.
It Can. It Will. And, it May.
Everything has a core energy. The Earth has a core energy, the tree has a core energy. You have a core energy. And until you understand your own core energy, you don’t understand your own gravitational pull.
