My planning and expediting coaching grind up circumstances
Daily Tao 60:5 Limitations imposed on oneself and resulting in creative consequences are the most persuasive way of exacting limitations from others. All desire to emulate success. Therefore to be a leader one should demonstrate the productivity of limitation.
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 Cheng Yi's commentary on the I Ching in The Tao of Organization (1988) and of the Complete Reality school known as the Clear Serene Branch in the Taoist I Ching (1986) are valuable source books.
Two books by Guy Damian Knight The I Ching on Love (1984) and The I Ching on Business and Decision Making (1986) provide commentaries as well.
My integration of Khigh Dheigh's Taoist Book of Days (1975-1982) and R.I Wing's The I Ching Workbook (1979) as well as the commentaries used in my work.
The resources at Hillary Barrett's I Ching site and at Great Vessel provide communities and commentaries as well as opportunites to upload topical papers.
People's minds should always be alive, so that they reach everywhere and do not stagnate in one corner.
When enlightened people are awaiting the right time to act, they are calm and controlled. Even if they have ambitions, they are easygoing, as if they were going to spend the rest of their lives in their present state. Thus they can be consistent. Those who are ambitious even though they do not advance cannot remain normal.
If people cannot be at ease in simple poverty and low status, then when they advance they act out of greed and haste, just to get out of poverty and lowliness, not to do something positive. Once they have gotten ahead, they will inevitably indulge in excess.
Wise people live plainly, happily when at home, active in society. Therefore, when they get ahead, They accomplish good works. If desire for status and the wish to carry out the Tao are battling within you, how can you live plainly?
When people have talent and intelligence but are not given an opportunity to use them, they are frustrated. This happens when they are imbalanced and therefore intent on doing something. this is different from the case of people who work when there is an opportunity and retire when there is none.
When people are in trouble, there is only one way of dealing with it. After you have exhausted all the strategic possibilities, you should deal with the matter calmly. Some people keep mulling over affairs, to no benefit. If you do not know how to put a matter aside once you have dealt with it, then you are not doing your duty or living your lifer.
If people have such will that they feel, as the classic says, that "if one hears the Way in the morning, one may well die that night." then they will not be willing to live even a single day in a way that they should not...If people cannot be like this, it is just because they have not seen the truth. Truth means truly seeing what is so and what is not so. When you find truth in your heart, it is distinct of itself. If you just hear about it and talk about it, you do not see it in your heart. If you see truth, you will never agree to live in a way you should not.
Dale Bruder, as a Zen Taoist, presents the I Ching to guide in the conduct of matters and affairs. He uses the Book of Changes commentary by Thomas Cleary's translations along with those of Khigh Dhiegh and Guy Damian Knight. In the Three Currents inquiry and the Twelve Earthly Branches methods for short and long term perspectives. The I Ching is integrated in his executive coaching and business coaching practice, noting "The messages from the Tao consistently hit the bulls eye. The I Ching is a timeless knowledge generating engine."

The Most Venerable Knowledge Generation Engine
The ecstasy of timelessness as Beggetting, Becoming, Begoning is embodied in Tao Time. Formulated 3,500 years ago in 64 interactive social and cultural messages can be configured into a map called The Twelve Earthly Branches. This structured long - minimium three months - view grinds up circumstances, increasing knowledge and wisdom all the while realizing accomplishments and achievements.
Through a methodological use of the I Ching, or the Book of Changes,one can apply the wisdom, in current use today by Chinese statesmen and business executives, as a decision making tool.
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.
