A childlike mind has been drained of the particulars of acquired knowledge and is free to follow the Way of the universe.

When the mind is clear, the avenues that lead to the brain’s higher powers are revealed. Your brain is capable of more than simply intaking, sorting, and regurgitating data. When the mind is clear, you can see things for what they are, marvel at them, and find the true spirit of their usefulness. An empty mind means seeking nothing and attempting to go nowhere.

A full mind, therefore, leads you away from truth. The brain is diverted to focus on superfluous aspects of life. When the mind is full of knowledge and cleverness, there is no room to simply see what is in front of you.

But in their attempts to be the best, brightest, or righteous, the Bisy Backson never finds contentment because there will always be more just out of reach. Science, business, and religion say that hard work leads to great rewards. They put forth these efforts to earn Big Rewards and Save Time. In the world of Pooh, the Bisy Backson is someone who is always on the go, always searching for something better, and always trying to achieve more.

When you live with Wu Wei, you are placing the round peg in the round hole. The water moves over or around the obstacles without resistance. Wu Wei is similar to water flowing down a stream.
Wu Wei is akin to a lack of action, meaning you do not attempt to struggle or work against the natural flow of the universe. The Way of Pooh, or the Pooh Way, is the translation of the Taoist Wu Wei, which means following your Inner Nature and the rhythm of life.
