Seeing, Feeling and Hearing the Tao

Gary Lachman presented an interesting idea in 'A Secret History of Consciousness': what if in the olden days our ancestors heard voices in their head of what to do. No choices are necessary in this world since a higher authority commands you what your next step should be. You will probably not be very impressed given that we consider ourselves free these days and don't want to be enslaved by a voice in our head! I was intrigued nevertheless since I perceive a Tao master as a full circle back to this old world. If you are on the Tao you just see a red line on the path and you follow it. There is little choice necessary because you just know this one is the one that works for everyone and you in particular. What is there to choose? When you talk to people, you have no agenda you are just dancing with them and are waiting for the next cue that is meaningful to you. Like an athlete you just react instinctively to events because they happen way too fast to process them on a conscious level. Feel the energy and go with it, there is little else to do and enjoy. Today everyone may no longer be able to hear the Tao, but you can definitely learn to see and feel the Way!
