Ep251: Taoist Inner Alchemy - Mattias Daly 2

[@saraswati999]

What an incredible person this young man thank you for brining this guest here again 😊

[@mayploy6869]

really glad you did another interview with him he’s very engaging to listen to and i browsed some of his work it’s really fresh and clear for lack of a better description.

[@markallanneuhaus]

i thoroughly enjoyed listening to mattias daly as he struggles to translate the meaning of the dao into words comprehensible. thank you for giving us the opportunity to learn from this genius of translation. 🙏❤‍🔥🙏

[@Vaporwaving]

Wonderful advice about reading texts with an ungrasping mind.

[@PhoenixDarshan]

Fantastic interview with so much insight.

[@thebasicmaterialsproject]

Absolutely fantastic makes a change from the usual Internet fayre. Definitely a fan more intelligent than usual. I highly recommend very worthwhile listening. Big up guru vikings

[@sethschmucker4238]

Guru viking makes me want to go on an adventure. Just get up and go. A journey of a thousand miles starts with one step.

[@Filtered_Photons]

It's a dangerous business going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don't keep your feet, there's no knowing where you might be swept off to.

[@PhoenixDarshan]

Interestingly, it correctly says the journey of a thousand li starts with what is under your foot.

[@TexasBurningFlower]

Thank you.Beautiful

[@EdW-g4d]

Thanks for a great conversation. I was interested by the comments on siddhis, which Mattias is, quite reasonably, sceptical about: would what he effectively identifies as long-distance healing not constitute a siddhi?

[@PhoenixDarshan]

Lv Dongbin's 100 -character tablet is a phenomenal source of cultivation.

[@trump9075]

Lmao daoism is perhaps the most perplexing eastern tradition out of all. Everyone seems to have very specific thoughts that intentionally contradict everyone else's and on top of that have the necessary "netowork" to support their opinions. Yet everyone is somewhat walled off from each other, in an alternative version of China. So many different, contradicting experiences... Still, appreciate bringing more and more daoists on the podcast. This was certainly an interesting interview!

[@user-fg3fv9hl3b]

More perplexing than vajrayana? Just curious

[@mysticta0]

true, I think that besides the level of secrecy, lots of these issues are down to the fact that most of the real deal was erased by the commies unfortunately, many masters fled to the US, Canada and south east or were killed and lots of traditions got lost

[@noself7889]

The siddhis are real. They can be downplayed or aggrandized. They are a natural consequence of practice. Most will never develop them because of laziness or lack of time in a busy world. To develop they take an almost extreme amount of practice along with relinquishment of the passions. There is an innate power within us all just waiting to be revealed under the right causes and conditions. ☸️☯️🕉️☦️

[@AgeofColossus]

Very good intonation for a non-native speaker, Mattias. Wondering if you can link me to the text Awakening to Reality either in Chinese or English?

[@twojadrogadao]

There are a few quite different English translations (my favourite being Fabrizio Pregadio's one) but a good start would be to check the "Wuzhen Pian" entry on Wikipedia

[@AgeofColossus]

@@twojadrogadao Got it, thank you!

[@MonacoBlast66]

Is he referring to Master Waysun Liao in Chicago?

[@user-fg3fv9hl3b]

52:00 ironically, both of these men ARE super attractive and spiritually advanced at least from my limited perspective 😅

[@arty712]

The story of the Master that transformed into a pillar of rainbow light, sounds a lot like Baolin Wu’s account of his teacher; said to have taken place at White Cloud Monastery.

[@zelareka]

can you faqi or not, can your master faqi or not

[@ckreft]

Found it hard to understand and follow the thread of logic here. Too bad because he clearly knows a lot.

[@TheForeignersNetwork]

I'll just say it, Mattias is very hot, and he doesn't look a day older than 30. Lol

[@JeffMcDuffie72MeridianGate]

Yes specific powers can be cultivated with certain techniques. Any technique that directly fully awakens kundalini up at manipura chakra which is the yin yang fusion is what causes that arising of powers.

[@jplmedley]

a statement like this has really no power, by itself, in a youtube statement, it's just another statement of belief. Though, if you can perform specific powers, reach out to Guru Viking and have him interview you as you demonstrate. That would be something worth exploring.
