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

SoulType 9, Chapter 18


When the great Tao is abandoned,
Humanity with righteousness is the practice.
After that, intellect and knowledge appear.
Then comes great hypocrisy.
The six relationships (the entire family) will not be in harmony.

After that, duty and devotion to the state arise.
Families will be in trouble and there will be disorder.
After that, loyal ministers appear.
