Contentment

Move from the six that take one from the balance of Tao. These six: Hate, Pride, Fear, Greed, Coveting and Ignorance. These six are the evils that destroy the character of the individual and the society.

To become part of a collective is the end of the individual, for it is the mind defining the collective painting the individuals.

Move toward the three that take one closer to the balance of Tao. These three are content happiness, content wealth, and longevity in health. Find contentment, this is the greatest happiness, and the greatest wealth. Protect your health for once lost contentment is hard to maintain while in pain and in the limitations of bad health.

Art of I, the Canvas: As I go through life, a painting is created that is I. It is my canvas and upon it is My-Art. Some of the artistry comes from self and some from others. No matter, I am the one that molds each situation into what it is, whether it displays as something ugly or beautiful. Though I must ask myself, is it presentable to my purpose? Can I make My-Art be considered exemplary and a model for duplication? With this understanding, I must make sure the summations of the strokes are pleasing and memorable. I must touch up the past and I must strive to paint a brilliant future. My Spirit must become indomitable. My dedication to worthy commitments must be fearless. My life is about me through my responsibilities to create great unity among all good people and improving humanity by one (ThyArt).

Tao Te ThyArt

Te, we are born virtuous. ThyArt, we can become of great character. Tao, through understanding the balance, we can exceed expectations.

No one can be perfect as the words written. No words can explain the perfection of Tao. Seek content happiness, seek a content wealth, and maintain health. Enjoy a simple life that promotes these three, complexity will destroy wealth, health, and happiness as it moves away from the balance of Tao.

One is born to the perfect balance of Tao. Through Te, one raised well can remain virtuous in Tao. Hold dear to the Archaic Virtues and life, a happy content life.

Tao seems so lifeless, uncaring and unresponsive yet through Te, life, caring and response are inherent in Tao exposing what is truly beautiful.

Do not destroy the virtues of a child. For most entering the concept of Tao and ThyArt later in life know the hardships and have suffered as the result of virtues lost at too young of an age.

Te - The Archaic Virtues

Humanity is born with or matured into certain virtues. These are the archaic virtues. These virtues align the spirit with Tao and protect us. Some of these virtues are best to remain with one for life.  Some of these virtues are part of our growing process and are eventually diminished or destroyed. Some virtues once lost can never be regained, while some can be partially restored. Much effort from those with evil intent work hard to destroy these virtues, finding prosper from the loss of another. That is the balance of Tao, through loss is gain which evil seeks more than their share.

Many older that have lost most their virtues prematurely know of these virtues’ and their importance. The pathetic pull others down to share in misery, while the wise teach and support these virtues in what is seemingly hypocrisy. By standing strong and more virtuous, one can remain more content and pleased with self.

Te - Spiritual Character

It is hard but a fact one must grow from the archaic virtues to an individual character like no other. How lonely it is to be different? All people are different and unique and that is what makes each special. Our presence can be seen, felt, and heard. To define a thought, a dream, an emotion, and a determination, call it the spirit of the physical life.

When life seems lacking or miserable, it is most often a spirit not aligned with Tao. Happiness should be self contained and able to find joy in nothingness. Wealth should be a content stomach and content mind. Health is critical to contentment or one will continuously ache for relief. Discipline self to contentment.

One may blame a moment on another but from that moment on it is a self responsibility to move from that moment toward greatness. A bad moment is a lesson to those of greatness and a nightmare to the foolish.

The Commandments

1. There is a powerful intelligence that is unexplainable. This intelligence guides all and is above all. Life is more than from a rock.

2. Do not claim or define this power. Human definitions are wrong and an insult to such.

3. Do not claim in the name of this power for any reason, to include for gain or for blame.

4. Work 6 days, then take 1 day of rest to align self to this power in virtue and character.

5. Have honor for your father and mother.

6. Do not kill without a need and a must that is justifiable under law and consciousness.

7. Respect the relationship of others. It is a grave violation to violate two that are one.

8. Do not take or desire what is not yours.

9. Do not lie. Understand the consequence.

10. Do not desire to want what is not yours. Do not be envious. Do not idolize another.

Understand this to your belief of a god, of science, of Tao, or just unknown.

Above Division

The only way something can be divided is if it is collectivized. The only proper way to divide a collective is to every individual; from there it can become a collective of individuals.

Above Religion

When a billion say that there is one above all, while another billion say there is one above all but not in agreement with the other billion, there is a failure in philosophy, both cannot be right, if either is right. Faith is much more than a collective thought termed religion. If one truly believes in a one above all, then they must have a faith in such external of the blasphemy named religion, it must be an individual belief, an individual faith.

Above Racism

There are people with different skin colors. There are people with different eye colors. There are people with different hair textures and colors. There are people with different nose shapes. There are people with different face structures. When a person defines the character of another person by these traits, then that person is a racist. There are only good character and some of really poor character. Racist are ignorantly ugly people.
