Introduction to the I Ching and Taoism A remembering of origins, awakening, and the return to the Way There are moments in a life when something ancient stirs, when a voice long forgotten rises again, and when the path ahead becomes illuminated not by ambition, but by memory. My own journey into Taoism and the I Ching began this way—quietly, unexpectedly, and with a force that would shape the next thirty years of my life....

Above it all Lao Tzu was the teacher.

Taoism and Lao Tzu Lao Tzu has seen too many worlds built on striving, cleverness, and forgetting. Verse 80 is his vision of what humanity looks like when we remember who we are as spirit. This is not a call to return to the past, but an invitation to rise into the next level of enfoldment — the unfolding of our highest selves....

How I got here from there…

I think one of the things I try to do as though I'm "living the Tao" by telling my own story. From my first encounter with Taoism and Chuang, Lieh, and Lao in December 1993 when I began writing my own version of the I Ching, there was a sense that I wasn't "outside of it".
