Nature & Spirituality Around the World: Joseph P. Kauffman Interview

[@mastergutaichi]

Green dragon and White Tiger! Two promising young men! Thanks for your support!

[@dragomir44]

This guy is very intelligent and great to listen to. Please talk more to him!

[@SoniaPrimerano]

George, I've actually just discovered you through... Joseph! He's my good friend and it's so wonderful to see you both together discussing these spiritual concepts and spreading such a positive message. Sending you both love and say hi to Joseph for me!

[@tranquilocomoelcielo]

Wow, I'm really impressed by this young man

[@40JoCharles]

WOW, Two remarkable young men. Please keep sharing your amazing work. I will be watching and sharing your stories.

[@jaimebrooks51]

Curiousity holds the power to transform! Your journey is an inspiration. Bravo! 👏🏼

[@SleepingSun4]

This is such an impressive interview. Insightful deep thoughts put in clear words in peaceful manner.. Thank you so much 🙏

[@MattAngiono]

This was so enjoyable, I am watching it again years later.... I remember how much it resonated and why I shared it around my family... You guys should do a follow up if you're still in touch!

[@FrenchBasicsStream]

Fascinating, especially for the idea of emphasizing feminine aspect in spirituality, like Lao-Tseu did (idea of the "mysterious female" in the Dao De Jing), and Daoism in general as a philosophy of the connection to nature. In Hinduism as well there is an emphasis to the development of unconscious part of the mind (like in Kundalini practices) opposed to the conscious part.

[@johnlinville9890]

Im very grateful for what you're sharing here. Thank you!

[@Tomas33392]

Very interesting conversation (in terms of eastern religion)! I feel like Joseph and I have walked very similar paths... Zen-Theravada-Tibetan Buddhism-Dzogchen and now Daoism. Hope he keeps growing 🙏🏻

[@stam2331]

I was going to rail on you for your pronunciation of Kauffman but then I saw that the dude's American 😂 Awesome video and Joseph is such a great talker!

[@jaylinn416]

You guys should have a talk with Bernado Kastrup ( double PhD's in computer science and philosophy ). He is talking the same stuff as you - but in rigorous and even scientific terms. He has published several articles on Scientific Americans on the subject you are talking about.

[@MattAngiono]

Fascinating man, i've watched several interviews.... and will continue!

[@agfabob]

I'm blown away by both of you :) Also, is the movie out yet?

[@josephpkauffman3771]

yes it is! kzbin.info/www/bejne/kGOrdolqeMiXfK8

[@leoyuanluo]

Two very pleasant people, these r the people who we studied in history book, who dare to challenge the source of misery.

[@Storm_.]

14:32 Master Gu is being told off by his wife :)

[@patriciakunz1198]

Wonderful - DId or will Joseph get to meet the native peoples of Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific Islands?

[@elifineart]

It's a joy to see quite young man like you two talk of such profound truths, (have seen other videos from your journy George) and also to see in both of you this deep thirst and commitment to find true knowledge of our shard being and it's true nature. subscribed, peace and harmony.

[@thetaeater]

Its sounds just like the egg theory we all keep reading about. The crazy thing is how there are these root concepts in the ancient cultures' universal perspectives no matter where in world they originated. Once you start down this path and you still live in the modern world it is hysterically funny when you watch political debates... sad, funny and scary all at the same time.

[@sophiavantil007]

Dzogchen is a great teaching. The practice has helped me greatly. Thank you again for all your posts!

[@lovelove9108]

How the world will look if we all smile often like Joseph?? Joseph should speak at all high schools in U.S to stop bullies, hate, shooting, violence,etc to help the kids find peace and happiness.

[@kappenouzeg]

Such a pleasant and insightful experiencing watching these two young flowers sharing thoughts about the world and its beliefs. Much respect to Joseph for bringing such an eye opening view on correlations between different religions/beliefs. I believe these two gents will find what they are looking for in their life or the next!

[@zapze]

Brilliant video, I loved the idea how we must stop seeing ourselves as separate to others and the dangers of this.

[@jenkinsmcgee5083]

the greatest illusion is seperation, and the ultiamte truth is oneness

[@maxmm-bn8qm]

Really enjoyed the answer is you. Resonates with me mind you ive only read 100s of books and nothing really grasped me as much as this book .thank you rereading it now age 39 going through a transition of self not easy when you dont know yourself at all and your purpose. So sitting still is my only choice hopefully find something within..bring it on😅 🛌

[@donowtube]

I know this is goofy, but that tea leaf getting caught on his lips just made this really genuine for me lol

[@chansowping1811]

Such inspiring young men exploring diverse cultures and seeking wisdom in ancient tradition.may you seek the truth in life

[@mikerulon]

a question, I am still learning basics after years of interest in Taoism. I understand yin and yang to create balance and that you cannot have good without evil and acceptance of both is important, but I also feel the need to live a good and peaceful life with compassion and love.... is this where the "te" comes in the virtue of life?

[@druidofwicklowemerald7192]

Wisdom & world tea time 🐼

[@williammarksen3087]

I like how this Joseph can't stop smiling. The laughing Buddha reincarnated?

[@leightoncooke]

Thanks for a great interview. Very inspiring.

[@watertemple399]

I wish I could put a "❤" for this video. Your videos are very inspiring and I love how they are enlightening and spreading wisdom and truth.

[@dunston1982]

I know this statement may sound question begging and I mean it with utmost respect, but if we really identify with the universal and loose the here and now of ourselves, what would compel us to help one another. If we truly reach identification beyond the self, we would have no compulsion to save the living things, no? Because being and not being would be one. It seems to really reach a state of compassionate living we have to stay tethered to the here and now in some way. Or am I mistaken in my thinking? Regardless of that jibberish, great channel video and discussion. Kudos

[@paulhargreaves9103]

Galen Kaback ~ your question got me thinking ~ nature, animals birds and trees don’t dwell on the future or past and they don’t label things or judge and yet all seems to work in harmony. Perhaps the Tao assists us when we let go....? Going with the flow of the current instead of resisting it... any thoughts...?

[@dunston1982]

@@paulhargreaves9103 awesome thoughts, but I would make a distinction between flowing with the Tao and dissolving ego to a universal perspective. Flowing with Tao I don't find mutually exclusive with maintaining a uniform manifold of identity in a singular instance. The point he seemed to be making is that by pulling through the Vail of Maya, our oneness as Brahman would compel us to act altruistically. But that begs Brahman's ability to reconnect to the Vail, and not dissolve it. Seemed incongruous. But, on a separate note, I understand it to be the case that effortlessly flowing with the way begets harmony with all things, which benefits all things.

[@paulhargreaves9103]

Galen Kaback ~ I guess if we let go.... we let go of everything...! That being said... would a true enlightened spirit offer help to a man in need ?

[@dunston1982]

Indeed, that's my question, would true enlightenment, in terms of universal perspective and detachment, preclude altruism in the every day sense, or is that a definition of enlightenment we want to adopt

[@paulhargreaves9103]

Galen ~ or in other words.... does God help us....? Maybe we have to go through it alone....?

[@kasumifu1541]

Not too shabby brothers, not too shabby at all.

[@theteasessions]

Really interesting interview! I look forward to his documentary and book. So much of this interview resonated with me, and there were a few moments when he was discussing oneness and our connection to nature and the world, when I felt tears behind my eyes and a constriction in my throat. I don't get to have these types of discussions in my day-to-day life, anybody I have met who is willing to have a discussion like this has been a passing presence in my life, so it's wonderful to have these videos and an online community to turn to.

[@wendykori2680]

Hi, I discovered Tao healing at Sedona Mago Retreat 5 months ago so I am enjoying ur Chanel very much. This is a awesome interview. It’s so nice to know so many people is trying to make our world better.

[@noface6872]

Amazing video. So happy to find such a great channel.

[@loneyid]

For me I used to think you could get all info from articles and videos from the web and not needing to travel to find information but I'm seeing that when you travel you meet people and collaborate and down the line could spark major organisations.

[@chachi7457]

Enlightening ❤️

[@williamkauffman5745]

interesting fellow

[@lisar.4335]

Oh my goodness----this is so great.The way that everything is so tied together across the world and in so many different ways while being the same at the core. As a woman, the part about honoring father sky and mother earth equitably meant a lot. I'm also proud to see Joseph representing us here in the 206....wahoo! (our phone area code for the Seattle area in the US) Thank you Joseph and George!

[@WRandallHead]

would love to sit down with y'all for tea and conversation

[@paulhargreaves9103]

I agree Randall, two impressive minds... !

[@Ricochetmex]

This is fascinating! thank you both so much

[@anweshakar146]

His documentary changed my life. That's how I started my whole spiritual journey and then I found Taoism and now it feels like I came full circle.

[@katherineheatleycoaching5918]

Great convo!! I love this insight. I feel peaceful just listening to you guys. Thank you 🙏🏼

[@sebastianconrad6142]

Wonderful

[@ConnecttoSoul]

Thank you for your continual knowledge, enthusiasm together with instruction to aid my exploration to becoming increasingly consciously awake not to mention spiritually connected.

[@ConnecttoSoul]

We need to be supporting each other on this journey.

[@davidfinch2478]

nice video. 20 years ago, Gangaji, a magnificent white Hawaiian was asked " before your awakening, what was your greatest hope?" she ans: To know that I am a part of everything, the sun, the wind ,the earth the sky ...." then she got a curious look on her face and said "never did I imagine that I am the totality of Consciousness" which is something entirely different. Nice creation myth, but...Creation, the Absolute, manifested and the unmanifested, universe upon universe. Completely incomprehensible, and we say "and this is why the universe saw created" ???? maybe

[@barbarafleenor6649]

Awesome

[@流浪漢パリ]

To find the truth, God, the source, nirvana, I travelled the whole world, climbed mountains, swimmer across rivers, faced odds, wars, dangers. Then I was sick and deported to my village in Belgium. I the realized that what I had been looking for had always been there, in me. Westerners, keep your money. There are enough books and enough silence in the world for you to awake anywhere.

[@kijetesantakalu]

Joseph reminds me of The Alchemist!

[@dexterjones4902]

Thanks again for top notch content man

[@zhubajie6940]

Regarding separatism and the oneness of things, I always refer to Chapter 42 of the Dao De Jing.

[@121titania]

It will be lovely to have you in Scotland sharing your wisdom with us. ☯️🙏🏻

[@Peace4All09]

Such an interesting Soul Joseph is, all these wonderful journey's, i am not sure to what extent others journey but like Joseph i like to listen to many Heart Songs because you have this "Ah Ha" moment where all else falls away & you see The Sameness in all, the common thread that makes us all one.

[@AjaychinuShah]

Leave no stone unturned would aptly summarize.

[@Cyrilbes]

I feel that one day, we will connect. Soul Brothers !

[@gemcool16]

This is so beautiful ❤ I’m so lost at the moment and this helped me so much

[@dancingoneness8348]

how to contact joe, I am in Boulder CO right now. from Xian originally.

[@Meowwolfwarrior]

I love those uniforms you have, I wear one myself it is different but also eastern in origin 😜😜

[@kitkat1123]

How old is Joseph? How did he write so many books at such a young age?

[@yingdeng1106]

Break the illusion of separateness! I wonder if Joseph has a booklist about this topic.

[@tezvelasquezartgallery]

Fascinating!

[@Meowwolfwarrior]

I agree with what Joseph is saying 😂 very true. What a lovely honest truth that needs to be shared

[@rogerthompson5250]

Watching from Port Orchard, Washington.

[@femiisme9679]

Love watching you speaking about philosophie and stuff

[@chansowping1811]

[@undermoon3420]

very interesting conversation！

[@Danburybeeches]

Great video, really interesting. Thank you Joseph and thank you George!

[@George-Thompson]

I’m so glad you found it valuable 🙏

[@jason-ug6cn]

Awesome absolutely 💯

[@Insect0man]

There is a vast difference between recognizing that we all live within the temporal purview of the natural laws that constitute the Tao - and the delusion that we, as part of some "Collective Conscience" created those laws. The Creator living in you does not mean that you are the Creator.

[@MattAngiono]

But aren't we always the "creator" of our consciousness... What can exist outside of consciousness? Even physics can't answer that!

[@dennisbao2853]

Great! thanks

[@minhdang8865]

Love your work.

[@sofiasatyayoga214]

love this xxx

[@ToddSloanIAAN]

Pretty interesting world of people there, by George. ... by Joe?

[@theexplorerssociety.advent8712]

amazing interview brother. What a great journey you are both on. Does Joe have a youtube channel?

[@blackhorse7553]

Well-said!

[@gracewang6909]

This is so fantastic! Can I share your video on my Facebook?

[@7230-k6g]

thank you for introducing me to joseph, george! i very much look forward to his documentary and book.

[@unlearn15]

Well said

[@bosanceros0172]

Awesome interview, thanks!!

[@mcs351]

2 young yet wise man

[@theokwardmonkey]

HA I know his little brother 😂

[@dixieh5555]

Fantastic interview!

[@kitkat1123]

I think Joseph is smiling so much because he's repressing his gay feelings. I'm clever at reading people. Whenever he looks at Thompson you could tell he has feelings for him so he stifles his laugh. And when he talks about the elderly man he also tries to suppress his emotions. His emotions are a bit confused and he's trying to act civilized but it's like theirs a wild free spirited person within him he's holding back.
