Three Paths of the Tao

Most of us experience Heaven on Earth only subconsciously. The Zen masters keep on telling is, "it is as it is", but we have a hard time to make the jump to "it is as it is, and as is, is good". The other side of the spectrum is even harder to accomplish: in the presence of God, the Daughter of God makes the Kingdom whole as well. Yet few of us are equipped to fill these divine shoes. But there is a simple way to realize Heaven on Earth, you in fact only need one thing that comes naturally to you, love!  If you manage to sort out your convoluted preferences and desires and manage to live a simple and innocent life in which you surround yourself with people and projects you love, you experience Heaven on Earth as well. In the presence of the Holy Trinity, love creates Heaven on Earth.

 So how exactly do do get there? Well, start with one good intention at a time, and let life guide you to bliss. When you want to love or want to be good know that you are unfortunately not quite "there". Wanting is always of the ego, no matter how good your intentions seem to be. When you love, you love, wanting to love is different. But then, if spirituality is what you want, life will always present with yet another opportunity to choose love. You can surround yourself with love that way, one friend and one project at a time.

If you are into numerology you can symbolically represent the three paths with numbers. All you have to know that the number of the Tao is Five:
Zen philosophy: 5 = 5
Daughter of God: 4 (God's Number) + 1 (Daughter of God) = 5
Bakti (Love) Yoga: 3 (The Holy Trinity) + 2 (Symbol of Love) = 5
