What does "formal harmony" mean?

Are you in harmony ? The tao says:He who is in harmony with truth is like a newborn child. What does it mean to be like a newborn child?

  • Answer:

    I've gone beyond harmony, Lao Tsu may have gone into the wilderness sick of the ways of men, but I've got things still left to do. I understand the cryptic balance Taoism encourages and in many ways I find it very useful, but it doesn't put food on the table, if you don't actively chase or even get angry if necessary with your debtors. What is mean by the "newborn child" view, is to not make assumptions and to see things afresh all the time, but you don't have to be a baby to do this. If you want to know what it means, you will have to keep looking, but I can tell you, it means everything to me. If I could not have that wonder in my heart everyday, I would not get out of bed.

A newborn feels its connection with its mother, it doesn't feel that it is seperate, they are one. A newborn doesn't have a past and thoughts which filters its experiences. It means becoming the child of the virgin.We have to become Mary to give birth to the Christ within us. Isn't it interesting that Lao Tsu was born of a virgin in the Chinese legends. This Virgin concept has been around for quite a few years. The child knows his mother will feed and care for it and hopefully that it is loved. And hopefully we do too.
