THE WAY OF THE ACTION OF THE SOUL
A New Translation of the Tao Te Ching
by Alan Sheets and Barbara Tovey
(Purchase Book and CDs)

SoulType 5, Chapter 32


The Tao is eternal and not named.
Even though simple and subtle, no one in Heaven below (the sacred body) can rule over it!

When all people can sustain it, ten-thousand things (everything) will naturally honor it as they would honor a guest.
Heaven and Earth are mutually joined and drip with sweet dew.
The people are without laws and are naturally in harmony.

When rules began, their names emerged.
From their names, exhaustion emerged.

The master will recognize that in which the mind rests, and knows that when the mind rests there is no danger.

They compare this to the Tao's presence in Heaven below.
It resembles the valley streams that become the great rivers that flow into the sea.
