    About this ebook

    The book Wu Wei versus Awareness has been written to build a bridge between the various teachings that this world traditionally has known, but also towards modern science in the form of quantum physics, all of which ultimately point to one and the same direction. That which we can call Awareness (also called Dao or Tao).

    Many of the texts described in this book contain knowledge that is becoming less and less evident today. We have summarized the old knowledge in this book and have taken the best out of it to return it to this age because it would be a great loss if this knowledge were lost for good.

    For the development of inner awareness and growth we work and speak as much as possible from an open mind. In this book, repeatedly you will find relevant content, wrapped in a different context and sometimes exposed in a slightly different way. This has to do with a stretching of the perception and observational abilities for the reader, which can then contemplate and feel for himself or herself and how the read resonates inwardly.
    As soon you become more familiar with these subjects, a form of inner understanding and naturalness can emerge from which there may gradually become an opening in consciousness that will reveal the way to Awareness as itself.
    Because this development is only perceptible for the individual inner Observer, and cannot actually be grasped in words. We have done our utmost to convey the content as usefully as possible, but are unfortunately limited by having to work with words.

    This book leads the reader to an understanding of their own essential being and the peace, joy, and fulfillment that are inherent within it. "This is a chance to getting know your true inner potential and start using it"

      ‘Chaotic currents’

      Confucius and his students went on a hike in the Liu Liang area, to explore its natural beauty. From a distance they saw a waterfall, so they began walking toward it. They could see that it was huge, and its water fell from such a great height that it splashed down with tremendous force. They could hear a deep rumble and see the mist generated by the splashing torrents. Confucius remarked: That what at the bottom of the fall is so powerful and dangerous that not even fish and turtles can get near it. This is all the more interesting because we usually think of water as their native element. When they got closer for a better look, they were all surprised by the sight that greeted them. They saw a man in the waterfall being spun around in the ferociously churning water, whipped his way and that by the terrifying currents. Quickly to the rescue! Confucius commanded. He must have fallen in by accident, or perhaps he is suicidal. Either way, we must save him.

      They ran as fast as they could. A moment later, they arrived at the river downstream from the waterfall. They expected to see the man seriously injured or dead. Instead, they saw him swimming casually away from the waterfall, spreading his long hair out and singing loudly, evidently having a great time. They were dumbfounded. When he got out of the river, Confucius went to speak with him: Sir, I thought you must be some sort of supernatural being, but on closer inspection I see you are an ordinary person. How can it be that you were not harmed by the waterfall? Do you possess some special skills? No, I have no special skills whatsoever, the man replied. I simply follow the nature of the water. That's how I started with it, developed a habit of it, and derived lifelong enjoyment from it.

      This 'follow the nature of the water' - can you elaborate? How exactly does one follow the nature of the water? Well…I don't really think about it very much. If I had to describe it, I would say that when the powerful torrents twist around me, I turn with them. If a strong current drives me down, I dive alongside it. As I do so, I am fully aware that when we get to the riverbed, the current will reverse course and provide a strong lift upward. When this occurs, I am already anticipating it, so I rise together with it. Although the water is extremely forceful, it is also a friend that I have gotten to know over the years, so I can sense what it wants to do, and I leverage its flow without trying to manipulate it or impose my will on it. How long did it take for you to make all this an integrated part of your life? I really can't say. I was born in this area, so the waterfalls have always been a familiar sight to me. I grew up playing with these powerful currents, so I have always felt comfortable with them. Whatever success I have with water is simply a natural result of my lifelong habit. To be quite frank, I have no idea why this approach works so well. To me, it is just the way life is.

      Preface

      The book 'Wu Wei versus Awareness' has been written to build a bridge, for the reader, between the various teachings that this world traditionally has known, but also towards modern science in the form of quantum physics, all of which ultimately point to one and the same direction. That which we call Awareness (also called Dao).

      Chi-Full Team is preferring to work from the connection with the cosmic natural, from that perception all forms of personalization could be seen as distractions or 'authority outside the self'.

      For the sake of the development of inner awareness and growth we work and speak as much as possible from an open spatiality.

      In this book, the reader repeatedly will find relevant content, wrapped in a different context and sometimes exposed in a slightly different way. This has to do with a stretching of the perception and observational abilities for the reader, which can then contemplate and feel for himself or and how the read resonates inwardly.

      As the reader becomes more familiar with these subjects, a form of inner understanding and naturalness can emerge from which there may gradually become an opening in consciousness that will reveal the way to Awareness as of itself.

      Because this development is only perceptible for the individual observer, and cannot actually be grasped in words, Chi-Full Team cannot give any guarantees on results in any form whatsoever. We have done our utmost to convey the content as carefully as possible but are unfortunately limited by having to work with words.

      In our books we speak about possibilities, we do not judge, condemn or interfere with that which is carried out by science or expertise in any field whatsoever. We have no opinions on these because we are working from a different perspective. It is up to the reader to distinguish what knowledge he or she assumes as Truth.

      In case of acute medical questions or matters of any kind, we refer to the competent authorities in accordance with the disclaimer on the website of Chi-Full.eu

      Introduction

      In This book we present 'Wu Wei', a way of living and a point of view from the teachings of the Dao. 'Wu Wei' is a state of being that can be developed and trained by looking at life in a different way and becoming more and more aware by perceiving what dynamics are playing out throughout everyday life. But also by restoring the connection with your inner world, through observing what is going on in your world (self) and therefore becoming increasingly familiar with your inner dynamics. By broadening your perception, you will automatically discover which corrections you can apply for yourself to make your life run smoother.
