Ordinary people think the "Great Tao" is actually useless.
That everyone thinks it is useless, is proof of how great it is.
If it was the kind of thing ordinary people thought was useful, it would have disappeared long ago.
~Lao Tzu
One view is it takes alchemy to bring about fundamental, inner change. If you do not know alchemy, then you do not yet experience fundamental change. Raising awareness invites you to shift vantage points, expand perspective and possibility. How do you propose to expand if you live at the same level of conscious awareness that brought you to where you are?
