New Daoism

"'The Dao that can be a road is not the eternal Dao.' The word Dao can be a method to talk about or can be a road to walk on, yet neither meaning can convey the full significance of Dao, the Primal Wisdom."New Daoism analyzes the old Daoist classic Laozi (also called Daodejing) through the prism of the modern anthroposophic teaching of Rudolf Steiner. The author, Kwan-Yuk Claire Sit, has spent more than twenty years diligently studying these two subjects. Such resolute research has enabled her to bring refreshingly new perspectives to both Daoism and Anthroposophy. She cogently explains why Daoism can now be regarded as esoteric Christianity and how the practice of Daoism can lead to the mystical union with the Christ spirit within.Claire Sit provides practical advice on matters such as how to manifest one's wishes. She presents a so-called persist-resist principle--what one persists in wanting will resist appearing--illustrating how calmness and quietude of the mind are conducive to the fulfillment of one's goals. The author's simple and plain language explores deep and subtle aspects of Dao, incorporating numerous anecdotes to illustrate this path of self-realization.Whether a seasoned or new student of Laozi and Anthroposophy, readers will find this book inspiring and informative.
