Amazing space here! Thank you Jason! 🙏❤️ I was a philosophy major in university. Taoism is absolutely my favorite. It’s been guiding me all along my journey out of the small farm village and the shepherd life in Inner Mongolia China. Knowing what I know now combining with quantum physics, Tao is kind of like a game with the natural tendencies towards the divine perfection that’s set up for us to play. We have everything within us. We really don’t need to do anything. All is taken care of. But It would be boring if we all know this from the beginning. That’s why part of being human is to go through the initial programming in the matrix of limitation and lack. So the game starts with learning lessons and unfolding towards the Tao-divine perfection within each and every one of us. Having said that, there’s a missing piece. Everything that is knowledge doesn’t make the difference because Tao is not in the intelligence. So, what’s the access? This has been my life mission. Guided by the question: what really makes the difference? I feel I have found the access. I cracked the code for being human. The most effective way to support another human being to LIVE the Tao is to work in the subconscious mind(95% of who we are but hidden from us)to clear the old programming, make the space and naturally align with the truth which is the Tao. I have been working with high level leaders to create the space of Tao. Because when I asked “how do I make the most difference to the most people?” This is the path shown. Talking about it is easy. The next level is to live it, leading by example and be willing to be used by the Tao. Whoever interested in this information are clearly the leaders in the world. Tao has shown us that we’re all one. The only truth is love. When you’re given greater awareness, you’re also shouldering greater responsibilities. There’s no body out there, only the self. The surest way to make a difference in the world we live in is always within the self. Jason, If you or anyone else resonate with me, welcome to connect so we can discuss deeper. I recognize the Tao/divine in each of you. 🙏From the bottom of my heart, I thank you for being who you are! ❤️

Having watched quite a few of your podcasts, on various topics, including your dissemination of Taoism, Philosophy of Flow and Wu Wei, other doctrines, it is quite apparent of your lack of fundamental understanding (once it gets imbibed in you). At most, you are simply dissecting the great works, adding your twist and opinions, and devaluing that which is. Are you strictly an academic or do you "live it", or better still have you experienced the "other side"? Your readers and audience are giving you kudos and expressing appreciation and portraying their ignorance. There is no place to dialogue hot/cold cognition, long gone philosophers unless a dissertation is in the making. Kali Yug ended more than 200 years ago (there is an experiential way to verify). One is always pure. The ego never dies. Those references, including A. Watts, are drenched with contradictions (which manifest during the thought process). Talking and sharing about the Tao is futile. Just as it is to try to explain Ramana Maharshi's teachings. Return to the source (prior to language).

[@chrisrose2898]

What an amazing conversation. The natural way is the hidden key that society doesn’t want people to find. Much love to the both of you. Thank you.☯️🙏🏻❤️👍🏻

[@themystic6851]

“Over coming, ourself “ great sum up. Gayoung 🙏🏼

[@alanhehe4508]

For the algorithm..because the world needs this wisdom so badly.

[@leighcecil3322]

This should be taught in schools!! But that would be impossible considering the corporate education system..!!! But if we don't I can see only more problems..& a shollow society,..!!! Good post..we need this in the world today...!!!👍

[@myjacmiller]

Synchronistry; just this week began exploring the apparent conflict with morals and ‘natural law’ and caught your broadcast as well as Jordan Peterson’s that bring it all into view. It has always been an issue with me as I have walked two paths simultaneously attempting to parse-out The Way. In the last 10 or so years the path has been illuminated and I can accept the need for The Shadow. Well done our Good and Faithful Servants!

[@tmyoshimura621]

One of the very few places to find True Wisdom on the internet. Thank you for reminding us of what is True. ✌️

[@CaptainSanchez]

Great podcast. May it be heard worldwide 🙏

[@CaptainSanchez]

@Christian Bonanno it was great bc it dives into how our innate nature is already virtuous and we need not have to create virtues for people to follow. Plus it's a message that is getting across the internet. Powerful message of the Tao + a worldwide audience = greatness.

[@jesuschrist1501]

love this chapter, definitely touches the heart of the criticism against western philosophy imo.

[@giselaripota-harhaus7949]

Thank you so very much, both of you! Amazing insights for me!!! Oh, so precious insights!!! Moved me deeply, because I dont need to feel wrong any more about what I subconsciously feel all the time but never managed to put it into words . That was a real gift for me today 🙏💐🌸🌺🌸💐🌸🌺🌸💐🌸🌺🌸🌸🌺🙏

[@tobinharris8107]

Thumbs up you guys! Jason, I am currently enjoying Alan Watts' "The Book" and look forward to getting "Total Freedom" next. Thanks for your reading list.

[@bns3543]

So profound... thank you for sharing this perspective 🙏

[@mikeypatch426]

Carry on talking and debating. Your recordings are so important. Simple is understandable. Bless you both.

[@VishalPatel-yt9ut]

You both are doing an amazing service here. Thank you for making the Sunday brighter

[@buddhafarms-sustainability1277]

Many blessings! Namaste 🙏

[@dianesmith8183]

[@annekelourdes1238]

Another great podcast, peace ✌️❤️🙏 many thanks and a must in these days, i could say my favourite couple on KZbin 💎

[@SusanHopkinson]

Wonderful conversation and such a lot to reflect upon. Thanks very much 🙏🏻

[@seatopiascuba3540]

Sincerely appreciate you both!

[@howiseetheworld3581]

Enjoying this upload on a Sunday, thank you!!

[@johnc.6645]

This addresses the problems that are plaguing the world today. People all over the world seem to be seeking a parent, that will tell them what to do and what to think. It amazes me that good people will be willing to kill if some "presious leaders and governments can make good people be willing to kill if they tell them to do so. I was raised by my grandparents that I loved and respected. I did not have that same feeling towards my actual parents. Taoism is threatening to many because it encourages self reliance and following a different path then a government or some religions put you on. I really love these talks between you and MeYoung. Well done Brother.

[@garysnider3000]

A very interesting and enlightening teaching. I deeply appreciate the insights you both teach. Thank you.

[@VitaFlare]

So much divine wisdom on this channel!! Love all of your work Jason & Gayoung. Your service is greatly felt & truly appreciated!

Good Afternoon

[@marilynwarbis7224]

I feel fortunate and privileged to have been born into the heart of the countryside, with no car. As a child I could be myself pottering in the lanes and the fields, with no city rules and regulations to bind me. Having no ambition as I grew up, I remained close to the ground, to Nature, with no career to pursue, just raising the family. So I didn't undergo the temptations of scrabbling for social position or career accolade, and this video is understandable to me as a result. To relax into the Tao is true relaxation.

[@mjlucielamontagne5923]

Thank you both. This reasonated on a very deep level for. The moment I behaved in a more independent way (at 6 monts from what I was told) relational problems started. More "cleaning-up" to do for "me". Again, thank you so very much to both of you.

[@catalinalladovidal2533]

Interesting episode. Thank you Jason and Gayoung 😊🙏🏻

[@joseph.micheal.romero]

Excellent video

[@henry-sk5rf]

Thank you, I am inspired anew!😊

[@martinvalenzuela1649]

Thanks for your investment in learning these philosophies and passing them on to us!!!

[@bassmuso]

When the Tao is forgotten, the leaders will provide bread and circus....

[@alanhehe4508]

Indeed. It's a corporate duopoly and all the rest is theater. I don't understand how anyone gets so attached to these corrupt politicians, and partisan ideology, to the point that they fight with their own families and friends..and most of their ideology is either inherited or adopted from others. Sad.

[@brianleegraf2794]

Why am I just finding you guys now oh my God 30 seconds into it and I'm like oh my God people that know what the hell they're talking about

[@WonderinWonderer]

Thank you❤️😌🙏🏼🌅☯️

[@milekrizman]

8:00 as Jordan Peterson says, too much rules is tyranny, too much freedom is anarchy. There has to be a subtle balance.

[@johnvanmanen3149]

Every person makes its choices in the same way, the only difference are the options we get offered to choose from... we are all equally bad at choosing because we do not know the outcome of them! Only 1 does....

[@motionthatmatters3066]

Present

[@7ronaldob]

Amazing conversation! I wanted to ask you if the use of digital technology is against the Tao or not? Thanks.

[@Chickarina1]

I bet Lei-tzu would have loved funny animal videos online. Lao Tzu wouldn’t have an opinion about it.

[@milekrizman]

With spread of internet Taoism will become more popular in the world.

[@milekrizman]

4:21 is Tao another name for spontaneity?

[@milekrizman]

@Spod Gaju it is difficult to be spontane in a very strict and rigid society

[@decock45]

What is the Tao?
