love the animation of yinyang flowing into each other

[@George-Thompson]

Thank you!

[@an6350]

me too! I always see it just as rotating without flowing like that, but this one reflects how there is that constant movement back and forth, where sometimes yin comes forward and sometimes yang comes forward. But in the end they balance each other out perfectly

📌 Great video, but someone actually needs to hear this, you've got to stop saving all your money. Venture into investing some, if you really want financial stability.

I really appreciate your content. My parents both consider themselves Taoist and used to play a big roll in the temple. They invited me to join them a few times but I never learned any lessons (I just went there to eat). But I always wanted to know more about what my parents were getting out of Taoism. Today, the universe pushed me into your direction and it is uncanny how perfectly timed it was. Thanks for all your hard work and you should know that you make a difference.

I am a school teacher and it pains me when I have to tell my students that China is our enemy. Because historically, both of our nations were always exchanging culture and science. But due to colonial manipulations and the short sightedness of our politicians, we are now 'enemies'. Their young minds fail to understand that this is a purely political statement, neither popular nor personal. Politics has done more harm to our respective cultures than the war we fought in 1962 and the subsequent skirmishes. Both China and India have so much to offer to each other and the world. Please continue sharing your knowledge with us, sifu. For it is people like you and not our bombs, planes, guns and missiles that can save the world.

[@rupomhundred395]

Thank you, Mr. Thompson. I am much honoured.

[@henkdevries7634]

If it was up to the people, there would be no war, because people who want war are usually not the ones fighting in the front lines or the ones living in the warzones. I hope that democracy will be replaced with a system that is better, that is fair and lets people be free, feel free and stimulates wellbeing, not just for us in the west, but also in other parts of the world where people for example still die because of a lack of water or die from a fever. I hope some day people will find balance with eachother, that we can accept differences and share happiness instead of fight and take what we feel is ours.

I found the generosity aspect most interesting. It always seems like the more you give to and help others the more it actually helps you and brings joy and a sense of peace to your life.

[@higgsfieldinthefield9916]

I have been a lifelong Taoist since finding the Tao Te Ching in my early twenties, I am now fifty three and I live on one meal a day. with regular fasts for a few days to a week or more. True enlightenment comes from Both feast and fast. The sage only takes what is for him. And nothing is of interest to me unless it is shared. When you give you gain.

[@angelaem205]

I really love the fact the Master Gu's explanation is compact and condensed philosophy, on which you George add some modern day explanation for the busy mind of the average person. It was very interesting to hear those tips and I find that getting up early is the most difficult to do! Thank you very much for sharing these important points! 👏🙇🏻‍♀️🖊📓💯

[@stiricidium2281]

These videos are incredible. I'm a chaote, but taoism has such a wonderful philosophy for understanding yourself and living in harmony with the chaos of the universe. I have a lot of respect for it, and I want to thank you for these videos. They have greatly helped me with depression and anxiety. The world really does react differently to your perceptions of it.

Hope you are in a good place George. And keep spreading goodness to the world. Thanks for this video.

Eleonora Grossen I became a better Catholic ever since I applied the philosophical side of Daoism. God bless us!

[@eleonoragrossen8083]

Tony Sioco yes, but sadly both - daoism and catholicism miss the most important teaching of the bible: that Jesus died for our sins; forgives us, as we confess them (to Jesus himself, not to a priest); and that he is the only one to give us eternal live, glory and wellbeing. God bless you too

[@thevagabondsageinthewoods]

Since I started watching Taoist videos like this one, I find yin/yang balances in all things. I look for it more and therefore, come across it. Even my gardens! I love my controlled, rows of yang gardening but all around, I allow wildflowers of yin energy to grow, nurtured by nature. There is much balance. I even had to write the story of my yin/yang garden…the beauty of them being bound, yet separate was overwhelming my senses and had to come out onto paper.❤

Great series so far. I am working my way through from the bottom :) The advice about the walk in the am in nice. I've heard this before, but with the frantic life of the west, it's hard to get the energy to do the fundamentals like getting out of bed haha. I worry that I might tire myself out for the rest of the activities in the day. I do ok with the food though. Exercise I do a lot of Tai Chi. I have other practices from the past like hard martial arts and gym, but I'm refining everything now to make Tai Chi my central focus, because as you say, the body will give up if it does too much! Thanks for this series. Next episode tomorrow :)

Hello George and Master Gu, I've recently begun watching your videos and am really enjoying Tea Time Taoism. I wanted to quickly say thank you for sharing your experience and insight. Learning about Taoism is already bringing a new calm to me.

[@DamKaKaDaNi]

I also saw a video about Okinawa where they talk about hara hajichi bu, which translates belly 80% full. Also in a project management course I recently took the teacher said, always make sure to help people, so they in the future will owe you favours. It's also just a great way to share our strengths. Nice videos keep it up ! :)

I live in Missouri where a lot of people are brainwashed into overeating and gluttony. It’s sad because I’m heavily inspired by Taoism and meditation. I feel out of place. When I retire I would like to live in the mountains or a beautiful place. It’s sad to see so many wealthy overweight unhealthy people here.

[@whatabouttheearth]

Tristan Lake I live in Missouri too, but why worry about them, thats the same root tendency as control. I dont worry myself too much with the actions of others so long as they arent harming innocent people.

[@Todsor]

I agree with James Lee. No need to worry for them since they are adults who can take care of themselves if they really want to. But as for obese kids, it's worrisome.

[@DeusEx3]

@herr haller Things can still be sad to watch even though you're claiming to be a spiritual person, yeah? Or do we expect the world to turn into some mush and us not trying to tell good from bad, right from wrong? I sure hope I don't turn into an idiot of that kind, it world be horrible, I'd be horrible. Yeah, not according to the universe or whatever, but from a human standpoint you'd probably realize something could be improved. edit: nevermind. I've realized I'm not a fan of arguing on the internet, there's just misunderstandings on top of misunderstandings and there's always so much more to say, there's no context for anything...

Why would you move from there when you can teach them to live healthy. You know, give and take. You have the power to transform your comunity into sonething a little bit less gluttony and out of balance, you can be the change. Why would you change your enviroment for another, when you can transform yours and help others in the process?
