THE WAY OF THE ACTION OF THE SOUL
A New Translation of the Tao Te Ching
by Alan Sheets and Barbara Tovey

SoulType 4, Chapter 58


When the government is dull, dull, the people are pure, pure.
When the government is sharp, sharp, the people are broken, broken.

Bad fortune! There is good fortune to lean on.
Good Fortune! There is bad fortune concealed within it.

Who can know the end?
There is no normal.
The normal, in turn, becomes the abnormal.
The good, in turn, becomes evil.

The people are confused and try many paths.
The sun is strong and enduring.

The sage is square* and the corners do not injure.
They have corners and do not pierce.

They have truth and do not overreach.
They have the light that does not blind.


*The square is the planar form of the cube which is the Platonic Solid that represents the energetic structure of SoulType 4.
