The Formless Way

We look at it, and do not see it; it is invisible.
We listen to it, and do not hear it; it is inaudible.
We touch it, and do not feel it; it is intangible.
These three elude our inquiries, and hence merge into one.

Not by its rising, is it bright,
nor by its sinking, is it dark.
Infinite and eternal, it cannot be defined.
It returns to nothingness.
This is the form of the formless, being in non-being.
It is nebulous and elusive.

Meet it, and you do not see its beginning.
Follow it, and you do not see its end.
Stay with the ancient Way
in order to master what is present.
Knowing the primeval beginning is the essence of the Way.” 

― Lao Tzu

Ceremonies

For those looking for a spiritually moving, custom ceremony to celebrate weddings, commitments, renewals, or any other occasion, a Formless Daoism® ceremony can be crafted especially for you.

Weddings & Commitment Ceremonies

Dr. Cibik will meet with the couple several times prior to their ceremony to learn about them, their beliefs, and work together in creating a ceremony filled with meaning and intention. The meeting also include assistance to the couple in creating communication strategies that allow them to enter into their new relationship with an open avenue of listening and speaking. Weddings can be performed in the Pittsburgh area, and small ceremonies can also be performed on the grounds at Inner Strength.

Ceremonies of Power

There are other situations in life where having a ceremony to honor a new start or the close of a chapter of life can be empowering. A ceremony of empowerment for new jobs, divorces, new family members, memorials, and new phases of life can be created and performed by Dr Cibik.

Contact the office to set up an appointment to talk to Dr Cibik about the ceremony you have in mind. 724-845-1041

Immortal Mind® Programs

 With Dr. Ted Cibik       

“These programs are perfect for those who want to delve deeper into Asian philosophy, modern science of the mind and brain, pathways to enlightenment and staying clear and grounded in a very tumultuous world. As the counselor of many therapists, physiologists and psychiatrists for over 25 years, I can attest that this is not therapy per se, but a higher calling of mind and spirit.

Being pronounced dead in hospitals twice in my life, gives one a different perspective of life, what it means to be alive and spiritual connections that are not found in standard teachings of Buddhism, Christianity, Kabbalah or Native American. It is different, and has to be experienced as my students will attest.”

From time to time, Dr. Cibik offers Formless Taoism / Immortal Mind™ Weekly Wisdom Gathering is ONLINE lectures. At this time they have concluded.  More lectures planned to be announced at the 3rd quarter of 2022.
