Gaia is the Tao
GAIA AND TAOISM: GAIA IS THE TAO
Taoism too is more like a skill than a religion. Taoism is concerned with the question of what is the most masterful way to do things. The 2000 years old Taoist classic Tao-de-ching advices that a master, like water, always chooses the most natural option. That naturality can be thought of consisting of two parts: 1) natural in ways of action, in other words natural in the sense of biology, and 2) natural in thinking: primarily the main things right, then the next level etc.
Why does the master always choose the most natural option? It leaves all the natural biological wholes unbroken and is so the most efficient solution: most force with no resistance, all goals fulfilled at once. So a master always does things in the Gaia's way!
Tao-de-ching: "supple as newborn child's"
Why would the unexperienced young baby be an example to the much more experienced individuals?
In our lives we all the time make temporary arrangements which turn out to become habits and everlasting arrangements, so when we think that we can bear losing something for a little while, we have in fact mistakenly lost it for forever. That's why the baby is near the ideal compared to us. Read the text Finding solutions.
Sensitivity, reactivity, the ability to adapt and to learn is valuable. One must be especially sensitive to the whole, to its balance, to that one doesn't neglect any side of the whole, does not depress any side of it. So sensitivity means strength. Getting the main things right is the first point in sensitivity.
