Then after another few years it becomes a bigger tree and then after twenty to thirty years it becomes a big tree. Then fifty to sixty years it becomes a huge tree and then after a hundred years it is that big oak tree over there. All we see is the Big Oak Tree not the Hundred Years.

I looked at those little pine trees, and guess what? Both of those pine trees were Bigger than the House. As I looked at them, they were not moving or doing anything just standing there and that is exactly what happens in the Tao.  By practicing the formulas over a period of time, the Transformation in You Subtly takes place and you do not even realize it until you look back at it. (Taoist – W.U. Wei)

  56. A Pessimist (Negative) takes a look at a Carrot and sees how Narrow it is. An Optimist (Positive) takes a look at a carrot and sees how Long it is. The Realist (Taoist) takes a look at a carrot and (“chomp!”) Eats it. A Taoist sees it for what is to be eaten, not to see how long it is or how narrow it is. When you are thinking with the mind you are Projecting; seeing how narrow or long it is, not observing it for what it really is. In the West, we get into trouble because we do not see things for what they really are.  In order to enter the Tao you become aware and eat the carrot. (Taoist – W.U. Wei)
    (Taoist always eats the carrot they do not care what it looks like only what it is for & use it properly.)

They are both the devil – the Right Path and the Left Path, but who is in the middle? Christ is and his is the Middle Path, the Path of the Tao. The demonic forces are always pulling you, right or left but away from the middle path. As you slow down (mediation) and start to focus you can keep in the middle on the center path. (Taoist-Wei)
