Welcome to the Subconscious Mind Mastery Podcast, Thomas Miller.

Thank you so much for joining us.

I thought as we are recording this in October of 2023, a time obviously of conflict and war and turmoil,

that we would just go in the opposite direction.

Let's turn to some old ancient texts

for comfort, restoration, reviving our soul. And then we'll have a meditation at the end,

but we can just settle in and go inside and explore the wisdom of our own heart. There are so many places, so many wonderful places we can go

for such comfort, but obviously the 23rd Psalm ranks among the top. The Lord is my shepherd,

I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside quiet waters. He refreshes my soul.

He guides me along the right paths, for his name's sake. Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me.

Your rod and your staff comfort me.

And then Isaiah also in the Old Testament, the last few verses of chapter 40,

Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God,

and creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding

no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak.

Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall. But those who trust in the Lord

will renew their strength. They will mount up with wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary.

They will walk and not be faint. And then the place that I love to go for just quiet, calm,

serenity, because that is really the message of the Tao De Ching. I'm reading from the 20s. This is select verses

from chapter 20 through about 25. I'll just skip through. Stop thinking and end your problems.

What's the difference between yes and no? What's the difference between yes and no?

What's the difference between success and failure?
