Thanks for your continuing interpretations of the Tao. I have followed this from the beginning and it's always deep.

Don’t seek gratification in what you do. I say this as my official position of a winging Pom. May I express my deepest gratitude for posting this video ❤

[@nitewindow]

I have realized I cannot fake being real. By trying I only inhibit and distort my existence which is already real. Thank you for the videos.

He said everyone is endowed ( entao'ed)with The Tao 😊

Any advice on how to escape society? I desperately need to get away from it. Maybe some tips on how you did it? Anywho, great video as always.

[@Hermit-lo7bw]

The ultimate medicine is clarity. When you are clear about who you are as a person and what you are as impersonal being, the need to escape society will no longer be there. You will be in it but not of it. This doesn't mean that seeking an alternative lifestyle should not be investigated.

Finding the True Self Introduction To know thyself is wisdom's key, Unlocked when ego sets spirit free. The Poem The scrolls try to teach life's hidden way But words explain truth in just meager way. To walk the Tao inwardly each day, Look deep within with patience and play. Through twists and turns ego deceives the mind, Veiling true nature which lies behind. Like sides that shift on a puzzle’s plane, It keeps identity in flux and vain. Peel back each layer with care and care, Dissolve the tricks ego plays so fair. The presence within will stand exposed, As concepts clinging are deposed. When each perception falls away, True being shines clear as sun each day. No more is vision bound and strained, The essence is awakened and explained. Anchored in the sea of pure ‘I Am’, As the Tao, free flowing I am. Texts have no mastery over me, Dwelling in stillness, the flow I see. Glossary Tao - Natural truth of universe Ego - Sense of separate self Deposed - Removed from power Summary This poem explores discovering our authentic self beyond ego through quieting the mind. Ancient sutras point to the Tao but cannot impart its living truth. Peeling back ego's constructs layer by layer reveals our inherent presence. Freed from mental scripts, our essence openly glows - the purpose of all guidance silencing thought to know oneself.

I never understood why in the tao they say 10.000 things, what does this exactly mean, what are 10.000 things?

[@Hermit-lo7bw]

The 10.000 things is just a way of referring to all manifestations.

[@lee7701]

It’s just a random number used to describe all things that make up existence I suppose

[@levlevin182]

I believe numbers don't lie, however they don't tell the whole story.

The notion that there's no right or wrong sounds great in theory... and I get it. It's something that us human beings assign to the world. While nature just 'is' in and of itself. But what about people, who for instance, sexually abuse children, hurt others or conduct similar crimes? It seems that most people, who are not insane, would say that this is wrong, even though it might seem right(natural?) to the perpetrator, depending on the circumstances of the environment in which that person has been brought up. Human beings are complex creatures. Especially when there's so many of us living in big groups. I find it hard to understand these concepts on a social level and how it would work in society.

Ignorance and wisdom?

Alan Watts' son Mark recently uploaded a never before heard lecture [heard only by Alan's original listeners]. Alan specifically addresses misconceptions about nonduality.

I think having common sense, from being peaceful, would make one be balanced and in turn not turn to such extremity, sadistic, depravity .

I had to think about this episode before commenting, but 1 thing keeps pushing me to say this. Regarding the assertion that there is no good and evil distinction in this world. By not saying this, I feel complicit in your assertion and I do not want to be accused of misleading lost souls. I want to say this: There is evil in this material world, and I hope anyone reading this never has to encounter it. I am not going to argue over what is good and evil, other than to claim evil does exist. Otherwise, why is it that most sentient beings come to the conclusion that it is desirable to escape earth?
