Description
New Daoism analyses the Daoist classic Laozi (also called Daodejing) through the lens of the anthroposophic teaching of Rudolf Steiner, a research combination that Kwan-Yuk Claire Sit has been studying for over twenty years. She explains why Daoism can be regarded as esoteric Christianity and how the practice of Daoism can lead to a mystical union with Christ.
Claire Sit provides practical advice on matters such as how to manifest one's wishes. She presents a so-called persist-resist principle—what one persists in wanting will resist appearing—illustrating how calmness and quietude of the mind are conducive to the fulfilment of one's goals. The author explores deep and subtle aspects of Dao, incorporating numerous anecdotes to illustrate this path of self-realisation.
Whether a seasoned or new student of Laozi and anthroposophy, readers will find this book inspiring and informative.
