In Search of Meaning

Being a Tao traveler means to accept life's waves without any preconceived notions. Clearly, you will have general goals like having creative professional outlets, having certain material standards, having friends, a community you are tied into, a loving family, etc., but otherwise you leave it entirely up to the Tao in which direction you will go. The Tao will shower you with blessings as long as you are open to everything. Living in the Now is easy when moment by moment you are on the look out for a new creative spark.

I sometimes wonder how living the Tao is different from 'The Secret', the promise that the universe is your oyster as long as you believe that it is. Both philosophies are experiments. Embracing the Law of Attraction means that you believe that you can will your notion of Heaven on earth. Try it and see whether it works, what else can I say. A Tao traveler seeks meaning in life instead. We do not impose our will on anything just because we know that we do not know what really is good for us. Let life bring it on. If our experiment is successful, there is magic and happiness in every moment. Just try it!
