The mysterious nature of time

[Confused]

I was just trying to be funny.

But yeah, that's what the Tao is saying. Don't try, but don't get mad at the consequences... that is, if you want to be Tao. It's almost like spiritual suicide, no?

From 52.2 To the disciplined entity, all things are open and free. The discipline which opens the universes opens also the gateways to evolution. The difference is that of choosing either to hitchhike to a place where beauty may be seen or to walk, step by step, independent and free in this independence to praise the strength to walk and the opportunity for the awareness of beauty.

The hitchhiker, instead, is distracted by conversation and the vagaries of the road and, dependent upon the whims of others, is concerned to make the appointment in time. The hitchhiker sees the same beauty but has not prepared itself for the establishment, in the roots of mind, of the experience.
