She then gives voice to these texts - simplifying them, removing barriers to understanding, and making them completely accessible and relevant to the modern reader.

I decided to write this book after having written several books on the applications of Taoism in different areas. Another of my books, The Tao of Human Interaction, deals with applying the principles of Taoism to human interactions to make them more effective. The Handbook for the Practical Psychic applies Taoism to the spiritual aspects of Taoism. It is directed towards psychic practices such as card reading and divination. The applications of Taoism are broad. For everything that has been written, it remains poorly understood. There are several reasons for this. I have practiced Taoism ...

Water never forces its way. It moves around whatever blocks it, and it still arrives. How often do you force the way? We push anyway. Forcing feels like progress.
