Recently I have felt like I have been trying to think my way through a brick wall. I am trying to focus my inner voice and the next direction for Lunar Lotus, while also working as a creative for others.
I call it “on the tip of my spiritual tongue.” And it can be maddening attempting to practice patience and faith while I wait for the path to clear.
I often find myself looking back at journal entries to remind myself of past epiphanies that might remind me where I’m going. Today I found a not about the term Wu-wei as used by Alan Watts.
Below is an excerpt from New World Encyclopedia:
“Wu-wei (Chinese = 無為, meaning “non-action” or “actionless action”) is a central principle in the Chinese philosophy of Daoism.
The principle affirms that one should live spontaneously in accordance with the natural flow of the cosmos called the Dao, and not act against this natural order and rhythm of nature.
According to Daoism, human happiness occurs when one aligns with the Dao, and Wu-wei allows practitioners of Daoism to live in harmony with one’s natural surroundings and to be mindful of the interconnectedness of all life.”
