Abstract
The anxiety of being drives us to the quest for security and certainty. The question emerges, "what is the Way?" In an attempt to find the Way through cognitive process, we are further removed from It. This parallel process takes place when depressed individuals struggle with the negativity of depression. Wu wei is an invitation to return to the Way and to the self. The self that embraces negativity is able to rest in itself.
