I vowed to learn to be a good student (徒儿) of Taoism (道). My love for Lao Mu (老母) is never end. I am taking my baby steps to learn and practice to master the philosophy one day. I hope to share this good life knowledge with everyone that is ready to get to know this topic...

Words of Wisdom
Fear not of what will happen tomorrow as you will face it when it comes.
As long as it is rightful, do it and you will be blessed as you progress.
Do not let yourself indulge in sweet lullaby that can never happen.

Tao's view of Spells, Fortune Teller and God, Goddess at the temple
Certain people have the ability to cast a spell. Some is with good intention but most of them are of bad intentions. We hear about, bomoh, voodoo, kumantong, love spells etc, etc. These thing do exists and it cannot be proven scientifically now.
Tao's perspective: This has temporary effect. Be it hurt or joy. You cannot hurt other people if it is not what is prescribed in the book of karma.
Fortune Teller
Fortune Teller has the ability to see the near future. Some good ones are able to tell the bad lucks that are coming in the way and able to let you skip over it.
Tao's perspective: This has temporary effect. There is nobody can change what your life leads to. If you are destined to be cheated, you may be able to skip that effect with the help of the fortune teller, but as far as Karma rules are, you will be cheated too in other ways.
God, Goddess at the temple
These God, Goddess are used to be people with good deeds and have once lived. They are worshiped in the temple.
Tao's perspective: They are being promoted to God, Goddess due to the good deed during their stay with the humans. Therefore, they serve as God and Goddess for certain amount time before they return to the world as human again as part of Karma cycle. Only enlightenment from the Tao will help them escape from the cycle.
Karma
First type of person : -No matter how you wish to ignore and end the relationship to the one that you are hating, you cannot do so, it is because, the life that you are in is all planned by Almighty. Also applies to, the one you feel your life is dependent upon that person - eg. children, spouse, family.
Second type of person :-these are the people who will give support to you - materialistic or non-materialistic ways. they will be there for you without you expecting them.
Yes, these people are in the package of Karma. What you have now is what you did in the past life, current life.
Depressed
I do not have the answer but I think back of the story about a woman who has 2 sons. One is selling umbrella, another one selling ice-cream. the moral of this story is to think positive. there's little joy in everything that happen. You can't control the weather but you can control what you think.
Why I feel so down. It was because of the guilt. I have been guilty of what I have not done better. My doubt on my ability has been the strongest reason that withheld me. Now I will understand why people choose to end their life, I wont. Because of her, because of the family i have, and because of the ones that cares and because Tao forbids us.
To leave, is the dream I will pursue. To leave with or without her is the thing I am contemplating. Will I give her what she deserve?

2 Minutes Updo for Work
Female need to tied up the hair, ideally to make a hair bun to give respect during the classes. I am so dummy in hair bun making but in the next class i am goin to try this out. Looks easy.
Halt
Stop nagging about what you can't change. If you would like a listener, you can just forget about it. There's no one to help except you have to stand up on your on.
For whatever the reason, go through it. Negotiate and compromise if there's need to. Not everything pleases you but you have to make decisions and be ready to lose some even if you think you are the losing party. Life's never fair. Fairness exists when there's visible proof. For the non-visible ones, God will make judgement.
All that has happened, is part of the test. There's no need to feel bad. There's no need to tell the whole world and seek for their sympathy coz it will make you feel just as worst.
Be realistic and you will find happiness.

Class on 11 Oct 11
Gratitude. There was this woman who has 2 adult sons. One of them is into Ice-Cream biz while the other one is selling umbrella. Whenever there's change of weather, the woman would feel bad about the other son which would not be able to make good business. Lao Tze's message is simple. He's saying that we should see what we have and not looking at what we don't have. for example, the woman should have look on the bright side and cheerful that the other son is able to make a business.
Quiet and speech less? This one is a bit vague. I think Lao Tze's message is to ask us not to gossip and speak what is truthful so that we can gain respect from everyone.
Responsibility. A young girl had to carry her brother for miles since he is sick. then when she arrived at the clinic, she was asked "Girl, are u tired?" The girl said no because she didn't see her brother as burden. Just plainly, she said "cos he is my brother". if you would just attend to your obligations as if they were your life, you will not feel that it is a burden.
We have been enlightened and we should continue to keep our heart lit on so that we r bright from within and so, we will shine like Lao Mu does. :D

Class - 11/10/2011
Dear Reader
As I was waiting for the rest to be ready for the class last night, I was asked to calm myself with the sacred grasp of hands. I closed my eyes and see illusions of Lao Mu and Lao Tze as I was calling for them in my subconscious mind. I see Lao Mu as if she’s dancing and making circles in front of the altar and facing myself. I don’t understand what she was doing until I have gone through that day’s teachings.
I feel strongly that there’s a message from her. And it is related to spinning top (Gasing in Malay Language) a topic in yesterday’s teaching.
Lao Tze told us that we humans are like a spinning top. The spins represents that we keep on moving, twist and turns – with all the stress, problems, fantasies, greed, temptations, obligation that this world has created. As we spin/live, we must not forget that we need to stay on it’s tip. The tip represents our heart and devotion to Tao. Life in this world is temporary and never end cycles of Karma. We have been in this world 60k years and Lao Mu , Lao Tze is calling us to return to their sides. In order to successfully do so, we will need to pass a test in life so that we will break the cycle of Karma.
