Reseña del libro "The Book of the Joyful Way: The Golden Dialetik Rising (en Inglés)"
As people need to name things to pretend that they understand them, I will start by explaining how I came about naming this book. During the process of writing a previous book, The Golden Dialetik, I discovered an affinity between my theories and other traditions, and thinkers,in particular the Navaho Wind and Lao Tzu. While perusing the facets of Lao Tzu's philosophy, I explored the intricacies of the title of his book, Tao Te Ching: An alternative title for the book (Tao Te Ching) could be "The Book of the Way, the Creative Principle, and the Joy in the experience of the Way." Another name for the Tao Te Ching could be "The Book of the Joyful Way." This is probably a shameless exaggeration,but Lao Tzu's experience of the Tao was a joyful one. (Barraford, 2014, p.179-180)As I became more intrigued with Lao Tzu and decided to create this small volume, paralleling the Tao Te Ching in many ways, the name suggested in The Golden Dialetik seemed the natural choice. The wisdom in Lao Tzu's book was the inspiration for this book. Even my diametrically opposite renditions of his chapters, Chapter 4 (1) immediately comes to mind, I owe a great debt to Lao Tzu's sagacity.Although a few chapters are "reinterpretations" of Lao Tzu, this book diverges from the original text regularly.The reinterpretations that are from The Golden Dialetik will be duly noted in the chapter titles; the rest should be considered new statements that are tangential to the thoughts from Lao Tzu's chapters. This book is a collision between Lao Tzu and my curious concept called the Golden Dialetik. Likelight scattering through a prism to create a spectrum from which I chose onecolor here, another there, I extrapolated from Lao Tzu's thoughts and transformed them into new ones. An essential concept of my theory is that Joy is at the core of the Golden Dialetik.Joy is at the heart of the Golden Dialetik, and as you approach this epicenter, the joy will increase. Joyfully, you can dip in the flow of the One and be the TaoJoyfully, you can experience the illumination of thy GodJoyfully, you can accept that you are part of nature and Embrace the deficiencies causing your personal imperfections. As you enter this joy, your perception of the One needs to grow beyond any thought you have ever had about the Dialetik, by simultaneously seeing the Golden Dialetik as the One, as God, as Tao, as intelligent and mechanical design. These are all true and by embracing this irony one can get deeper within the Golden Dialetik, and a center of pure joy can be perceived within this glorious glow. (Barraford, 2014, p. 186-187) If I have a single message, it is summarized in this last paragraph; people have to transcend the human condition, if they truly want to understand the One.
