To become aware of ‘who we are’ and to understand our condition in energy we must begin by applying ourselves to learning the basic and simple dynamic of recurrence. Few, it seems, realize that everything is disappearing and re-appearing. This is the most fundamental activity of life yet 2,300 years after it was brought to awareness in the Tao Te Ching it is still not taught in schools. We must consider why we have deferred our responsibility to this building block of our existence. We must consider it most carefully because as our denial continues to grow so also do the consequences. Understanding the dynamic of such critical information is the key to our self recovery.

’…not to know it is blindness that works evil’

Constant death is a birthing wheel.
