TAO TIME

A Study of Inner Design

The I Ching or Book of Changes, the oldest and most profound of the Chinese classics, has gained widespread acceptance in many fields of interest in the contemporary West. Starting with the simplest principles conceivable to the human mind, it elaborates a structure of structures that has long been used to analyze phenomena in all areas of human interest.

Today there is great interest in the application of the principles of the I Ching and derivative texts on strategy in the business and political world as well as in the context of personal life.

The Thomas Clearly translations of

Two books by Guy Damian Knight

Beginning with Khigh Dheigh's Taoist Book of Days (1975-1982) a working format of bringing I Ching into personal life and business processes took form. Over observation time and through schloraship the I Ching used here in tao time Sihas informed into commentaries used in my work.

The ecstasy of timelessness as Begetting, Becoming, Begoning is embodied in Tao Time.

Formulated 3,500 years ago in 64 interactive social and cultural messages about human and social interactions,

The I Ching adapts and flexes shape in processes and procedures to navigate the means and matters that flow.

Through observation, detail and predication the I Ching channels timeless energies. Following the forms of evolving and devolving leads to an ideal state of being. This is Tao

Transformative Tao is one of those instruments. The 72 day sojourn between two and a half lunar cycles builds and releases energy creating momentum in realizing the appropriate manifestation of an inquiry made of the oracle.

Transformative Tao is a 14 part seminar on understanding and applying intentionally called actions.

Through a methodological use of the I Ching, or the Book of Changes,one can access and apply the wisdom in current times.

Applying the wisdom of the Tao, or the Way, always brings you exactly what you need when you need it to stay successful no matter the circumstances. Everything is useful in the Tao.

Seminar Description: Participants will formulate and explore a question using their personal guides then prepare a plan of action in time and space towards reaching their declared accomplishment, achievement or goal. The inquiry is framed in terms of what you want to do, be or have.

The Oracle is the I Ching, a construction of eight trigrams that form a combination of sixty four hexagrams that describes humans social and cultural activities.

Sojourn the Currents of the Occurring Worlds
Dale Bruder is a life student of the Tao through the I Ching. Since 1976 he has been applying the I Ching to his self the way psychoanalysts and Zen teachers apply psychoanalysis or Zen to themselves before presenting to others.
 
His studies of Taoist, Buddhist and Confucian  I Ching texts towards  mastery of the 'hall of mirrors at the end of a giant kaleidoscope'  continues today. His intellectual journey is to match the complexity of ordinary real life with total coherence of the three views of Chinese thought.
 
Life is cyclical and sequential; a series of events and episodes that advances or reverses goals and aspirations.
 
Making use of and learning from the experience is a key component of a well lived life. Using the Tao Time path changes the social, cultural, technological and economic push/pulls into a flow that is navigable.
 
Dale Bruder, a business intelligence consultant, invites you to play the infinite game.
