The Way Quotes

“The higher the horse, the further the fall.”
― Rick Julian, The Way: The Modern Tao Te Ching

“there is the thing that is
and the stories that are told about the thing

they are not the same

there is no he nor she
no " . . .sees you when you're sleeping and knows when you're awake . . ."
there is no heaven nor hell

those are the stories of god
they are not god

god is the animating force of the universe
the glue that bonds every atom in creation
the firmware of existence
the code of natural law

stories are training wheels for our consciousness
i care less about them than the actual nature of their subject.”
― Rick Julian, The Way: The Modern Tao Te Ching

“Only after we destroy the walls of propriety do we rediscover why we originally built them.”
― Rick Julian, The Way: The Modern Tao Te Ching
