Once we as children become proficient in the art of language as children we start to see the world around us grow larger in leaps and bounds, now I will add the element of what I will call the handlers from the time we are born they hold great power over our lives. These are those who would be our teachers, in the beginning these teachers consist of our mothers and fathers; or anyone in the family who is older and more proficient in dialectics, until we learn the art of the false use of language we view these handlers as God like; we begin to love, than fear them. These handlers teach us the preconceived ideas that were taught to them by those who handled them, their mothers and fathers; teachers friends, and so on. These preconceived ideas or concepts have been handed down over eons of time, these concepts change and shift as things are added or taken from these theories of living; again these are preconceived ideas that the handlers call traditional beliefs. Questioning these traditional beliefs is not encouraged, and many times if these traditions are questioned they are meant with harsh punishment; by the handlers. This is the point in life where love and fear of our handlers is formed. Language is the naming of everything, as we stand in the moonlight we look up and point at it; we tell ourselves this is the moon. This is our conceptualization of the experience, naming within itself is not the fullness of the experience. Spiritual conceptualization of experience does not work very well through language this is because the profile of the spirit or Tao is that of silence, to experience spirit one needs to develop the silent mind. It is very difficult to focus on silence with so much noise bombarding our minds we also are overly involved in the use of dialectics. When we speak our spirit is escaping especially if the one who is speaking is involved in useless speech. In order to be one in the spirit the one must practice non use of language for long periods of time, words hold great power; to live in the world of this present day and time we must use language. It is important to know the proper way to use language, we must view the world as it is in the present tense then we can speak of events in the present tense. This can be difficult to do because everyone likes to speak in terms of the past or future tense, past and future tenses are grey areas when we speak in these terms we cannot be fully honest; we do not have a clear view of these concepts. We must also come to the realization that what I'm writing about are concepts ingrained in the imagination of the human mind. Concepts are formulated ideas created in the imagination of the human mind, these concepts become theories that in the passing of time a great many people will view as an absolute truth; such as the big bang theory. This idea came from one person now in this present day over a billion people believe this is how the universe was formed, personally I don't know how the universe was formed; and it's okay not to know, better not to know than to pretend to know. It is the pretense of knowledge that is the causation of confusion in the world, concepts warring against concepts. it is only in the silent realm of the Tao where one finds freedom from pretense. The Secret of stalking the spirit of silence is to find the time when the world of man is most inactive, for myself l find this alignment with silence to be from three thirty to five thirty in the morning. Before the world wakes up it is most silent and a large number of people are deeply asleep, I retire early so that I can rise at this hour, for it is at this hour that my mind has a powerful link to my subconscious, there are other deeper dynamics of my experience that occur during these hours I can't go into. It is my suggestion that at these hours meditation can be a much deeper experience, there is of course no set way; this is how I like to meditate, others may find a different path. The other Secret of stalking the spirit or Tao is to witness how this magnificent force of creation changes things constantly in the present moment. This calls for a form of observation of the natural world, when one shifts the attention to the natural world; in time the one will develop a sense of awe and wonder, even in the smallest of creatures. We begin to notice that we are beginning to see everything ever changing on the subatomic level, our bodies may be limited, on the other hand the spirit is linked directly to infinite power of the Tao. It is the will of the Tao that we as human beings live in accordance within its natural rhythms. if a critical mass of humanity becomes prevalent in our world, who are in alignment with the way, things will change. This is how it will happen a small and powerful group of practitioners will grow like wild fire, because their alignment with the silent realm of the Tao will be so unshakable; their presence of peace will be undeniable. In time this will happen, we as human beings will grow sick of the sickness known as war; than humanity will reach its potential we as human beings will share all things without the burden of greed. How do I know this to be I look inside my silence and see.

There is no fear in love When one submits to the way of the Tao the One sees love everywhere and fear fades. The path of the Tao points away from anger and fear and opens the door of love and true compassion hidden within the heart. Anger and fear hides the truth from us and keeps the One in a constant state of need and want that seems never ending, we try to fill up this hole we things or relationships. This never really works because the One is looking in the wrong direction for happiness in the outer world of material objects, the One must still the mind looking within to find the all spark the Tao. Once this occurs the spirit of love will flower and anger and fear will fade.
