This is part one out of three courses, in which Max Tomago & Rev. Devan Jesse Byrne are collaborating together within Open and Clear, Community's opportunity to extend their knowledge and mastery. This first part focuses on the first 27 verses of the Tao Te Ching as they have been reinterpreted by Rev. Devan after his transcendental death experience.

The Tao Te Ching is the main curriculum of the ancient religious organization "Taoism" founded by the disciples of Laozi who on his own refused to define his spiritual awareness and practice. Only by their persistence did they dictate his words, already misunderstood by lack of experience and perceptual awareness. Rev. Devan re-interprets this text not by the written word but by communication with Laozi himself.

• Often the word "Tao" is interpreted to mean the "way" which through direct translation is correct, however, the intention of the word in which Laozi did not have a word for is "Purpose". While "Te" means "on" or "the" and "ching" means "book". Therefore this course refers to it as "The" or "A" "Book on Purpose".

Did you know: All of our courses are unscripted. Each course in the series is so similar because they are recorded back to back. This is an entirely spiritually-guided experience.
