«My Koan Horoscope»

(available in Taoísmo en Español)

1. After the state has gone out of order and got dark, we have loyal ministers. / Después que el Estado ha caído en desorden y oscurecido, tenemos ministros leales. (Ch.18 / Good luck)

2. It is easy to melt a thing while it is fragile. / Es fácil fundir algo cuando está frágil.
(Ch.64 / Emptiness)

3. Thus, something can be useful because nothingness is working. / Por tanto, algo puede ser útil porque «nada» funciona. (Ch.11 / Bad luck)

«Interpretation»

Good luck - Emptiness - Bad luck. Aren't you surrounded by yes-men? Are they loyal to you? Let's think about what your surroundings are. They are your hologram. When you think that you are imprisoned in your holographic life, you are hard and lost. You have to melt your ego/self in order to remember that true You are Tao. Tao/nothingness is always working perfectly.

1. Didn't they say: "You get what you want. Even when you are guilty, you can get away"? / Decían, "Obtienes lo que deseas. Incluso cuando uno es culpable, puede escapar", ¿no?
(Ch. 62 / Emptiness)

2. Have them possess one hundred ten vessels, but don't let them use them. / ¡Haga que posean ciento diez recipientes, pero no deje que los utilicen! (Ch.80 / Middle luck)

3. Five Tastes make man's mouth injured. / Los Cinco Sabores hieren la boca del hombre.
(Ch.12 / Good luck)

«Interpretation»

Emptiness - Middle luck - Good luck. True you are projecting your holographic world in the "head". So, nobody is guilty. All people are the characters in your "film", or your vessel of Tao's manifestation. True you have nothing to do with the holographic film. If you think that you are imprisoned in it, you have to suffer as if you had hot sauce in your mouth.

1. There is no criterion? / ¿No hay ningún criterio? (Ch.58 / Bad luck)

2. As if I were a new-born child who has not yet smiled. / Como si fuera un niño recién nacido que no ha sonreído todavía. (Ch.20 / Emptiness)

3. With no limit, it always stays here. / Sin límite, siempre se queda aquí. (Ch.6 / Little luck)

«Interpretation»

Bad luck - Emptiness - Little luck. There is no criterion in Tao because Tao has no limit. Tao is omnipresent. Everything is Tao's manifestation. Don't cut Tao with your limited criteria. Therefore, be like a baby who doesn't know how to judge the outside world with his criteria. Life or the world is much smaller than true You.

Today's Tao / No interference 2-8

«Today's Tao»

Therefore, the sage treats things without interference and teaches without words. (2-8)

1. Big's capability seems incapable. / La habilidad del Grande parece torpeza. (Ch.45 / Bad luck)

2. If you hammer and sharpen it, you cannot keep it long. / Si lo martilla y afila, no puede guardarlo durante mucho tiempo. (Ch.9 / Good luck)

3. Guard stillness firmly. / ¡Mantenga Ud. la inmovilidad firmemente! (Ch.16 / Little luck)

«Interpretation»

Bad luck - Good luck - Little luck. Be clumsy. Be a fool. As Chuang Tzu says, "Do not move". With these three useful tools, you have already solved the majority of your problems, right? For the rest, let's send Love/Tao.

Today's Tao / Intended or accidental 2-6

«Today's Tao»

Intended voices and accidental noises harmonise with each other. (2-6)

1. All go back to Tao, but it doesn't try to be their master, so we can call it Big. / Todo vuelve al Tao, pero el Tao no se hace su jefe. Por eso, lo podemos nombrar "grande". (Ch.34 / Emptiness)

2. Therefore, the Chien yen has it. / Por tanto, el Chien yen lo tiene. (Ch.40 / Middle luck)

3. Many easy things must be the origin of many difficulties. / Muchas cosas fáciles deben ser el origen de muchas dificultades. (Ch.63 / Bad luck)

«Interpretation»

Emptiness - Middle luck - Bad luck. Everything goes back to the «Before Father and Mother are born». A bad luck or a good luck will go back to the emptiness. Then, everything will be born from the emptiness. Lao Tzu's teachings are very easy, right? But, be careful. There are many things added in Tao Te Ching from the beginning. Many easy things must be the origin of exploitation. We don't need the exotic clothes. Don't forget that the truth is very simple: Living is Satori.

1. The highest good is like water. / El bien supremo es como el agua. (Ch.8 / Good luck)

2. Longness and shortness need each other. / El largo y el corto se necesitan mutuamente.
(Ch.2 / Emptiness)

3. Heaven is long. Earth is eternal. / El cielo es largo. La tierra es eterna. (Ch.7 / Good luck)

«Interpretation»

Good luck - Emptiness - Good luck. Tao is like water. Tao doesn't judge any because everything is part of its hologram, which stimulates it in order to have it emit the energy of Tao itself. There is neither long nor short because there is no space in Tao. There is no time, either. So, Tao is eternal. You are eternal because true You are Tao.

2. I don't know who create it. / No sé quién lo ha creado. (Ch.4 / Little luck)

3. When your task is completed, you retire. / Si uno es orgulloso cuando es rico y noble, está pidiendo la calamidad. (Ch.9 / Emptiness)

«Interpretation»

Middle luck - Little luck - Emptiness. Lao Tzu's teachings and his Taoism are very simple. Some are not very beautiful. There are beautiful words in Tao Te King, but probably they have been added by other persons. Tao create Tao itself, but you don't have to know how the Tao/Hologram mechanism works. Living our Life/Hologram is the most religious act of all. If you are rich and noble, it is a little difficult to discover it.

2. It is because nothing can change it. / Es porque nada lo puede cambiar. (Ch.78 / Tao)

3. Therefore, a man with Tao doesn't stay there. / Por tanto, un hombre con el Tao no se queda allí. (Ch.24 / Tao)

«Interpretation»

Therefore, we have to understand how the Tao/Hologram mechanism works. Then, we can realize that true We do not stay in the hologram.

1. The reason why heaven and earth are long and eternal is that they do not give birth to themselves. / La razón por lo que el cielo y la tierra son largos y eternos es que ellos no dan a luz a sí mismos. (Ch.7 / Tao)

2. Governing a big country is like boiling a little fish. / Gobernar un país grande es como hervir un pescadito. (Ch.60 / Tao)

3. Though everything moves, he does not explain it. / Aunque todo se mueve, el sabio no explica nada. (Ch.2 / Tao)

«Interpretation»

Tao - Tao - Tao. Three Tao in a row... Heaven is part of your hologram. Earth is part of your hologram, too. A hologram stimulates the other in order to emit another. A country is a little part of the hologram, so don't try to influence your hologram. Though everything moves, don't move. Don't try to convince others with logical explanations. It is useless to try to change your hologram which you project.

Emptiness - Emptiness - Middle luck. Have you already forgotten that we live eternally? Because we are Tao itself, which is eternal. Then, what is life? It is a "set" of the holograms that you give birth to. Let's raise it by sending Love/Tao to it. Favor and disgrace among others are the spice for it.

Life is giving you the opportunities to send Tao, which is sometimes called Love.

«Interpretation»

We know that, by accepting them, everything transform itself naturally. This is the Tao/Hologram mechanism.
