"The Inner Life and the Tao-Teh-King" is a lengthy exposition on the topic of the famous text by Laotze, combined with a great deal of Western analysis of the work and its meaning, combined with material from outside of the realm of Taoism used to explain the concepts therein- philosophical and spiritual- to an audience comprised of people from the English-speaking European and American world.The opinions here are lengthy and largely academic- the history of the progression of Chinese spiritual systems is elaborated on in depth, for example, a comparison of the stated believes of Laotze and Confucius. It should be duly noted that when the Tao-Teh-King was being interpreted in the early 20th century, several largely complete editions now extant had not yet been unearthed, potentially changing the meaning of some interpreted passages, which were written in simplistic, early Chinese script and have no tense.
