—— 羅伯·洛夫蘭（Rob Loveland）傳訊
「羅伯：歡迎老子。我的問題是，我們該如何調和『不捲入外在事件』的想法？那感覺幾乎像是冷漠，但事實並非不關心。我們當然在乎，所以，我們該如何在『不在乎』中展現深切的關懷？
老子：問候各位。我很榮幸今日能在你們的圓圈中，與你們一同沉思生命的深層體驗，以及經驗背後的真義。這些問題是每個人在旅程中必經的掙扎，我們為你們展現出的進展感到無比自豪。
這是一個耐人尋味的問題，不是嗎？你如何在充滿慈悲的同時，又意識到介入他人所選擇的經歷並非你的職責？我要告訴你：允許他人去體驗他們此生注定要體驗的一切，事實上是一種極其深沉的愛與慈悲。
那或許不是你的道路。當你望向某些事件時，可能會覺得那絕非一個充滿愛的社會所會選擇的，你甚至會問：『為什麼要這樣做？這如何能讓世界變得更好？』
然而，萬物皆有其神聖目的。因此，你慈悲的展現，便是允許他人去經歷他們渴望經歷的，讓他們為自己做選擇。如果你試圖控制他人的行為、思想或信仰，那其中何來『關懷』？那不過是你將意志強加於他人。那不是愛，而是試圖以你旅程中的理解為基準，去施加你的控制。他們有他們的道，你有你的；請允許他們如其所是。
如同你們的夥伴所言：『順其自然（Let it be）』。這並非冷漠，而是因為你足夠在乎他們，才願意讓他們成為自己。試著從這個視角去看待生命中發生的所有事件——這，才是充滿愛的響應。
宇宙中唯一真正重要的力量就是『愛』。每天問問自己：面對所見的一切，什麼才是『充滿愛的響應』？如果你所見之事讓你感受不到愛，甚至令你感嘆『我看不出這哪裡有愛』，那麼請做出選擇——選擇那不是你想前往的方向。
當你不斷回到內心，對所見的一切抱持愛的頻率，展現出那份足以讓事物自然顯化的關懷，你會發現你所見的一切都將開始改變。它們會轉化、會躍遷……或許速度不如你預期的快，但請再次記得：順其自然。讓它以必要的節奏前進，好讓這份神聖計畫能引領所有該被引領的靈魂。
請始終明白：你就是神聖計畫的一部分。 你正在讓這份計畫開花結果，甚至，你曾參與了這份計畫的制定。
歸根究底，生命僅僅是為了在你所做、所感、所信的一切中顯化愛。你與萬物合一，他人亦然。因此，生命中沒有所謂的『失足』，一切皆有其目的。請對此保持信任，一切都將按其應有的節奏展開。
所以，再次重申：真正的關懷，是允許他人去體驗他們所選擇的一切。 這不僅是對他人，更是對你自己最高層次的慈悲。
我希望這能對你們有所啟發。這或許需要一段時間來沈澱、浸潤。與你們交流總是令我滿心歡喜。
現在，我將退後。請享受你的今日，無論遇見誰，都請向他們展現你本質中的那份愛。
帶著我的愛，與此地所有存在的愛，暫且告別。」

Rob: Welcome Lao Tzu. My question is, how do we reconcile this idea of not getting wrapped up in external events, almost to the point of not caring. But it’s not really not caring. Of course we care. So how do we care without caring?
Lao Tzu: Greetings, all. It is my honor to be with you today, in this setting, within your circle, as you contemplate the deeper experiences of life, the meaning behind all that you experience. These are questions that everyone must grapple with at some point in their journey. So of course, all of us are so proud of the progress you are all making.
It is an interesting question, is it not? How do you go through life, filled with compassion for others, while at the same time recognizing it’s not your role to be involved in all that others are experiencing for themselves. And I would suggest to you that it is, in fact, an act of very deep caring [and] compassion to allow others to experience what they came to experience.
It may not be your path. You may look upon the events as something you would never choose for ANY society that would experience love and ask yourself, “Why would you do that?! How does that make the world a better place?”
But it is all for a purpose, so your act of compassion is to allow others to experience what they came to experience. Let them choose for themselves. If you go through life trying to control how others behave, how others think, what others believe, where is the caring in that? That would be you trying to impose your will on another. That’s not exhibiting a care for them. That’s, again, you trying to exert your control based on YOUR beliefs, based on your understanding within your own journey. They have theirs; you have yours, so allow them to be.
As your teammate said, let it be, not in an uncaring way, but with the mindset that you care enough for them to let them be who they are. Approach all events that occur to you in your life from that perspective. THAT is the loving response.
The only force in the universe that truly matters is love. Ask yourself every day, what is the loving response to anything that you see? If it does not feel like love, whatever it is that you witness, and you say to yourself, “I don’t see the love in that,” then choose, choose that that is NOT the way that you want to go.
And as you constantly come back, within your own heart, to that feeling of love for ALL that you see, exhibiting that caring enough to allow it to unfold as it must, then you will find that all that you see will change. It will morph. It will transition … perhaps slower than you would desire, but again, let it be. Let it proceed at the pace that it needs to proceed to bring as many along as the Divine Plan calls for.
Understand at all times that YOU are part of the Divine Plan. YOU are making the Divine Plan come to fruition. You are part of that plan. I would even suggest you helped develop that plan.
And yes, at the end of the day, it is simply to manifest love in all that you do and all that you experience and all that you believe. You are one with All, and so is everyone else, so there can be no missteps. It is all for a purpose. Trust in that. It will all unfold as it must.
So again, the act of true caring is to allow all others to experience whatever it is that they choose. This is the greatest act of caring and compassion, not just for them, but ultimately for yourself.
I hope that makes sense. It may take a while to let that soak in, as it were. Again, it is always a pleasure to visit with all of you.
So with that, I will step back. Enjoy yourself today. Whomever you encounter, show them the love that you are.
So with that, I send you my love and the love of all here. Farewell for now.
