TAO TE CHING - Ch. 12

SEEK THE SPIRIT

Too much light blinds the eye;

too much noise deafens the ear;

too many spices dull the taste;

too much exercise weakens the body;

the pursuit of great riches leads to ruin.

The wise attend to the inner truth of things

and are not fooled by outward appearances.

They ignore matter and seek the spirit.

- Lao Tzu

------------------------

Riches and fame tend to spoil; learn the ways of the the Spirit and be blessed.

-------------------------------------------------------------

TAO TE CHING VERSE 11 IMMATERIALITY

A wheel may have thirty spokes,

but its usefulness lies in the empty hub.

A jar is formed from clay,

but its usefulness lies in the empty center.

A room is made from four walls,

but its usefulness lies in the space between.

Matter is necessary to give form,

but the value of reality lies in its immateriality.

Everything that lives has a physical body,

but the value of a life is measured by the soul.

~ Lao Tzu

What would it profit a person to gain the whole world but lose their soul. Work hard, live long and love longest. The hidden treasures are in the spiritual, in that, It's not what you've got, it's what you give, even if it's a smile on a rainy day.

NEW COVENANT

NEW COVENANT Now the first covenant had regulations for worship and also an earthly sanctuary. A tabernacle was set up. In its first room were the lampstand and the table with its consecrated bread; this was called the Holy Place. Behind the second curtain was a room called the Most Holy Place, which had the golden altar of incense and the gold-covered ark of the covenant. This ark contained the gold jar of manna, Aaron’s staff that had budded, and the stone tablets of the co
