A philosopher’s guide to finding your Zen

Tks, George, for your leadership. You are making a positive difference! Wishing you health & abundance! 😀

I used to think that about Jason, but he treated me terribly in his own comment section. I tried to raise some points about ethics, and instead of having a rational discussion with me, he joined in with others I was disagreeing with in a very egotistical and mean spirited way. It sucked, because I really enjoyed his content before that. The thing is if you push someone on their philosophy and expose any amount of hypocrisy, you'll see who they really are

Jason is the best.

@@MattAngiono man you are everywhere on the comments for someone that a 2 year old would get mad at. No one cares about what you have to say.

[@MattAngiono]

@@spiritlife3942 I'm not allowed to have an opinion or describe my experience? This is how people end up in a cult. They ignore what happens to other people and refuse to acknowledge that their great leader actually doesn't treat people so nicely when you say the wrong thing to them. We're talking about a guy on the internet. It's a parasocial relationship. If someone is going to treat a long time listener that way, they come off as a fraud, at least when they reach these kinds of things

[@frgartner8446]

@@MattAngiono I’ve seen similar behaviour from Jason, where he deleted any comments that expressed even mild disagreement with his political views. In his video “Taoism destroys woke ideology”, Jason injects his personal politics into Taoism. This could be done thoughtfully, but Jason’s poliitics rely so much on Us vs. Them dualistic ways at looking at the world that you would find a lot in today’s mindless culture war discourses. Some simply suggested a way at looking at the world outside of today’s brand of tribalism, but even those comments were deleted. This was funny, because he often speaks out against how people with differing views are too often censored nowadays.

Hey George - I'm now watching more of your videos and sharing them with people. I think this kind of philosophy can give a purpose in life, and a reason to develop this peace within ourselves so that we can help other people to find theirs. We can all become zen nodes to spread the love! ❤

Ifound my Zen inbetween the outer and the inner Universes, in the Void where all possibilities are created in quantum leaps and inner realisations as I allow my Spirit-Soul Essence to heal all outer turmoil, stress and Ego related elements that we all have to clear on our path to grater health, wellbeing, peace and harmony. Everything 'out there' serves us as reminders of what we wish to have as a part of our healed life and what can be let go of for a time being, until synchronicity may take place in a more fulfilling and healthy ways to serve our individual paths and the world as One. ☀️🙏🕊

Thank you for getting Jason on your channel George. He is truly the goat level of Daoist teachers in our time. Some of the things he understands is beyond a lot of peoples comprehension.

[@George-Thompson]

[@harrygreen3277]

@@George-Thompson thank you George. Can I ask, are you an activist? I hope not because activism and spirituality don't go together. You need to overcome good and bad to know the Dao. I am worried about some of your comments. Young people have this problem with spirituality, you are so trained to be an activist and resolve things according toy our way of thinking,. That is an act of violence.

[@woodspriteful]

​@@George-Thompson Spiritworld6655 & harrygreen3277 are antagonizing trolls who harass people with authentic spiritual experiences on Jason Gregory's channel, including myself. They have the same ego personality and have silenced your followers in the comments. FYI

​​@@harrygreen3277 You and Spirit World6699 are trolls from Jason Gregory's channel. That is your form of activism, but it's actually just fruitless harassment to the community. You project your role as a silencer and provocateur onto others to create confusion but you've not fooled us.

I have done the MBSR course and continue to try my hardest to follow these principles, but it’s so freaking difficult! I feel like evolutionarily we just aren’t wired this way. When I see what is happening with trump and his cult members, I just want to beat some sense into them. Any zen flies right out the window!

[@harrygreen3277]

MBSR? Trump and his cult followers? What are you speaking about? It is frustrating when people get so triggered by Trump and yet say they are spiritual. I would be disappointed of George was anti-Trump, because that means he has a side. Why do you hate Trump so much? He didn't go to war, Biden did, and most his stats as a president were better than anyone in recent history. You don't have to like his character but he does get the work done. I just find it odd that you say you are spiritual, yet what do you think about Obama dropping the most bombs in in one year in his last year of office. That is a fact. I'm guessing you like war and death but don't like someone writing mean tweets.

[@harrygreen3277]

@@George-Thompson are you an anti-Trump person George? Are you a political person/woke person? Ther is no room in spirituality for that. Please stop hijacking our great traditions with easily offended woke bs.

[@harrygreen3277]

I am also black and I know most black people will be voting for Trump. Are you saying all black people are part of a cult? Or are we just choosing who does the best for our community? My black family were all employed when Trump was in. Is that bad to you?

[@spiritworld6655]

@@harrygreen3277 it truly is a worry. People new to spirituality can't get over themselves and so they hate people like Trump and are just political, not spiritual. I'm not sure why there is a lack of sincerity? I guess they want to spiritual but just can't handle it.

I used to follow Jason Gregory's channel but I got put off when he had a prolonged argument with someone in the comments who tried to politely correct his pronunciation of a Sanskrit/Hindi word that Jason mispronounced throughout the video. Jason was both incorrect and stubborn and kinda rude and condescending to the guy. From his comments, I got the strong impression that he doesn't practice what he preaches and so I unsubscribed.

[@spiritworld6655]

You would be wrong on your assessment. I just finished a Daoism course with him and he is very genuine and goes 1 hour over course limit to give people ultimate clarity and value. His course was amazing actually. Anyway, people are going to hate in an overly sensitive world because they need to project their problems elsewhere. I grew up in a tough environment and don't resonate with that weak attitude.

[@frgartner8446]

@@spiritworld6655 But the whole point of many of the criticisms found here is that Jason is the overly sensitive one. A few of us here have pointed out how he can’t handle very VERY mild criticism. If you are to point out weakness and oversensitivity, it’s Jason who should be the one to focus on. Seems like you can’t handle anyone disagreeing with Jason or yourself and the only way to cope with that is for you to posture as the strong one and anyone who disagrees with your beliefs is the weak one. Please practice self-reflection.

[@spiritworld6655]

@@frgartner8446 he is too real for you. That is all and something for you to deal with. You still think new age is spirituality. Jason sticks by the tradition and has zero time for sensitive new age people commenting on youtube. Just think clearly, if you are the one mad on youtube commenting behind a screen, who do you think is the sensitive one? Also why do you overestimate your opinion of someone and why do you think they should take a complete strangers criticisms serious? You sound like a person trained on social media.

[@frgartner8446]

@@spiritworld6655 Why do you keep thinking that being critical of Jason is us being mad at him. Only a small child would think that way. A person politely mentions that Jason mispronounced a word, and Jason pushes back in a condescending way, and you think he is not being over sensitive?? I doubt anyone who corrected Jason and got harsh push-back are truly angry at him. Just critical of him. And somehow being critical makes us “new age people”, and him taking offence at a polite mention of a mispronunciation makes him “too real” for us? Hahahaha. It’s fine that you’re defending him, but you need to stop creating narratives out of thin air.
