Tao Wisdom and Enlightenment
We are living in a
world of depression. To free yourself from depression is not easy; after all,
depression is a complex and complicated mind disorder. You must need profound
human wisdom to look at your depression from a totally different perspective.
More specifically, you need TAO wisdom so that you may become enlightened.
TAO, also known as
The Way or TAO wisdom, is the ancient wisdom from China more than two thousand six
hundred years ago. It originated from the ancient classic Tao Te Ching),
the only book written by Lao Tzu, the Chinese sage, who was born
with white hair—often
considered a sign of old age and wisdom.
TAO and
enlightenment are two separate and different entities.
First
of all, TAO is the Way through anything
and everything you encounter and experience in your life. It is a pathless path
to the understanding that its purpose is not to get you to any particular place or a specific goal. It is just a journey of
your own self-discovery and self-understanding. By the same token, TAO does not
show you how to avoid or get out of your depression; it only helps you go through your depression so that you may
or may not become enlightened by those experiences.
Enlightenment is self-awakening, or attaining a very different way
of looking at everything with totally new perspectives. Humans live by the eternal law of cause and effect:
that is, if you do something good, you will get a good result; if you do
something bad, you will then get a bad result. Enlightenment is self-awakening to the unique consciousness that an
individual experiences regardless of what has taken place. Simply put, you just let yourself experience both the good and the bad, or just about
anything in your life; going through those experiences may or may
not change your own perspectives, but that is not the point. Enlightenment is not a state of mind that you can force yourself into; it
may or may not even come, but that is irrelevant and unimportant—just experience whatever that comes along
your way.

This book has an unconventional approach to
depression, Instead of the conventional ways of avoiding depression with distractions, such
as exercise, suppressing its symptoms
with affirmations and visualizations, and elevating
its depressive moods with medications, this 180-page book uses the ancient
wisdom from China ,
what is known as TAO wisdom, to experience
anything and everything in depression, that is, going through every aspect of depression.
TAO wisdom may
enlighten you so that you can ultimately free
yourself from depression, or at least look at your own depression very differently.
