GAMES OF THRONES LESSON UNLEARNED

The Game of Thrones teaches a lesson observed repeatedly throughout the history of the physical universe, but is rarely learned — violence, motivated by psychotic lust for conquest and revenge, is the reason human civilizations do not endure. Psychopaths are not aware of immortal spiritual beings. They think everything, including themselves, is a physical object. They think power and possession are the path to personal immortality. There are many examples, such as the first emperor of China, Qin Shi Huang (259 BCE-210 BCE). Avoid those who desire to rule your possessions, including your body. Know who you really are. Be the indestructible, eternal spirit that is you.

THE TAO
Republished by Blog Post Promoter
Tao or Dao is a concept signifying ‘way’, ‘path’, ‘route’, or sometimes more loosely, ‘doctrine’ or ‘principle’, or as a verb, speak. Within these contexts Tao signifies the primordial essence or fundamental nature of existence. Tao is thus “eternally nameless”, or Immortal Spiritual Beings, and to be distinguished from the countless ‘named’ things which are considered to be its manifestations, as the space, energy and forms of, and within, the physical universe, and other universes.
The Tao Te Ching, Daodejing, or Dao De Jing (道德經: 道 dào “way”; 德 dé “virtue”; 經 jīng “classic” or “text”) is simply referred to as the Laozi. According to tradition, it was written around 6th century BC by the sage Laozi (or Lao Tzu, “Old Master”), a record-keeper at the Zhou Dynasty court, by whose name the text is known in China. The text’s true authorship and date of composition or compilation are still debated, although the oldest excavated text dates back to the late 4th century BC.
Many different translations, versions and interpretations of The Tao have been produced through the past 2,500 years, or so, since the original appearance. Like any “religion”, the “opinions” and “interpretations” of “priests” MODIFY and INTRODUCE FASLE IDEAS into the original. Therefore, I suggest that anyone who wished to sincerely study The Tao as a Body of Wisdom, study many difference translations in order to DECIDE FOR YOURSELF what is “true” or not.
