  • Trust the Universe is the first film in a series based on my Effortless Living audiobook. In this film I explore how and why we should trust the universe from a Taoist perspective. The Tao can only make use of you when you are empty of all that blocks a union between yourself and the universe. The peace that resides in the unity of trust allows the individual to harmonize with the world. This not only brings the light of Tao into the world but also guides and helps the individual along their journey through life. When we trust, the universe answers us through the resonance of our experience. The feeling of oneness brings the individual back into accord with the function of the universe.

    It's funny how the universe shows you what you need precisely when you're ready to receive it. Thank you :)

      the goal of all beings was to gain consciousness of their own divinity, and to realise the absolute oneness of God.
      Meher Baba's teachings concerned the nature and purpose of life. He described the phenomenal world as illusory, and presented the idea that the Universe is imagination. He taught that God alone exists, and each soul is God passing through imagination in order to realize its own divinity.

      Religion is an attempt to intellectualize "God"
      Philosophy to intellectualize the universe
      Psychology to intellectualize the mind
      Trying to control the world?
      I see you won't succeed.
      The world is a spiritual vessel
      And cannot be controlled.
      Those who control, fail.
      Those who grasp, lose.
      Some go forth, some are led,
      Some weep, some blow flutes
      Some become strong, some superfluous,
      Some oppress, some destroyed.
      Therefore the Sage,
      Casts off extremes,
      Casts off excess,
      Casts off extravagance.
      Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching

    I am spiritual, NOT religious. Religion tells me what to pray to, on whom to have faith on, it also tells me I was born a sinner, implies God is imperfect it created imperfect beings, it also tells me what to fear, it violates my God's given gift, my free will, it tries to tell me that God will punish me, he's a vengeful God and will send me to hell to burn in the ever lasting flames of hell. Spirituality, shows me there's no such thing as hell, spirituality opens the door of my heart and tells me go search for my own faith, my own truth, it inspires me to seek for the answers I have within it, it shows me we have a God, an infinite creator that loves unconditionally, it does not punishes or seeks revenge, spirituality shows me I am eternal, I am timeless, I never die I am energy, a fragmented piece, a portion of that which is the God in me....... I AM THAT I AM...

    I know its true when you give up control and surrender and vibrate love energy it is beyond logic and the mind.
    All of a sudden I have girls talking to me and chasing me and starting conversations with me.
    I had the complete opposite view before hand. I thought you had to go after what you want and chase things. But when you reach and chase you are saying that you don't already have it.
    Everything you want is already within you. This shit is real I swear to God. If your a skeptic and pessimist just humble yourself and your mind for once and let it be and you will see the power and beauty of what I'm saying
    I still think there is room for logic, reasoning, and doing things in a step by step order. But there is a power beyond that that does not have any "logic" behind it
    Ive seen people with this vibrational energy before. I saw a guy streaming on an app, he made 100,000 within a year
    I could tell he had this God like energy and people will see it in you if you have it

    I have been working my way through the Tao Te Ching again, this time after a long period of having been sucked down into the insane mire that is our time. Today I read chapter 56, and I found again the one counsel of the Tao Te Ching that is *the* most critical for me at this time. This chapter begins with probably the most famous single passage from the Tao Te Ching: "He who knows does not talk. He who talks does not know." What follows is the critical piece: "Close your opening; shut your gates; blunt the sharpness; unravel the knots; soften your glare; settle your dust. So you come to the deep Oneness." I had gotten snagged by some bit of "news" and old habits flared into action/reaction. It takes a lot of trust, like the trust being spoken of in this timely video--like falling backwards in a trust circle--to unplug from "the news," to finally, fully "shut our gates." We have to learn that the world turns without us. It doesn't need saving. We can only save ourselves--why go crazy trying to save a world that whatever extincted the dinosaurs couldn't hurt? Thank you Jason, for this excellent video.🙏

    From my perspective I am already one with everything without having to do or realize anything. The universe doesn't give me what I need because I'm not anything separate from the universe. I am just part of what is happening. All there is is what is happening. Life is just a series of unfolding events and patterns repeating themselves. Just like the analogy of the river and this thing called me is just part of the river that is flowing. Nothing has any substance in and of itself.

    i became a buddhist practiocioner some years ago, then my brother read an entire random book about buddhism, throw it to me and said: "there, read it, so you really know what buddhism is about". This is the problem we face in all religions, treat God as a bunch of data to preach to others, but never to experience/ become "it"

    • @austino99
      @austino99 4 года назад +5

      Maybe it was a worthwhile book, lotta good books on this stuff. Plus everyone already is "it", but i get what you mean. I just think its worth pointing out, the way this sentence comes off to me reads a bit strong, or precipitous. For instance when you say the "problem" "we" "face in all religions", this makes it sound like its supposed to be us against religions or something. When really it's not just religious groups that can be ignorant, but its people lacking understanding of themselves on an individual level. And when you say "problem" that makes it sound like something is inherently wrong with this lack of understanding of oneself, when in fact its perfectly natural. We as people, not just Buddhist practitioners, are all responsible for spreading love, and all do the best we can of course. Also when you say this is the problem with all religions, it makes it sound as if the corrupted versions of many religions was always corrupt, when in fact many started out with foundations in deep truth. So the problems not as simple as, religions today just don't get it, I mean, they dont, but they evolved/devolved to that state. What do you think? maybe i'm just reading to much into your words. The comment just felt a bit one-sided, especially for a Buddhist practitioner.
      Also came off weird to me how you kinda put your brother down and shed him in the worst light for the comment, I mean if he read a whole book on Buddhism, he probably just wanted to help you, and likely got into it himself a bit. I was trying to take this at face value considering I dont know you or your brother.But all of this seemed a bit to negative/onesided, again especially for someone practicing buddhism. Again maybeee im just overthinking it i'm very curious for your opinion lol.

    Although the outward. Rituals of religion touch the beginnings of trust in a higher power or of trust in the universe, sometimes the mantra "God loves us and God helps us or protects us" takes us to a higher trust than the ritual. It helps me sometimes especially now with covid 19. I like your tone and delivery. Also reading the Psalms very slowly and reflecting on the meaning say of 23 and 91 are helpful and tend to fuel the mantra during the day. I mean the above mantra is also a prayer or affirmation . Blessings to all.

After watching the documentary about his life and how he went to China to find an authentic teacher that can transmit the real Dharma to him I was in awe. I find it similar when looking at todays world we don't have many authentic teachers and I was very lucky to find my teacher & teachings at Drukama. You should check it out if you are into spiritual life and teachers like Dogen . Blessings

    Most practical and profound insight yet explained in simple manner. Very important for new age spiritual seekers. Often we are lost in lots of mental & intellectual process and assume that we have all the knowledge . Interestingly often we feel we are all kind , compassionate and we should receive all we seek ( unconsciously we demand rewards for our good work - this may not happen to all but may be in initial stages as we get evolved gradually)
    This video helps to understand importance of feelings & space. A complete surrender , let go , end of ego , personality , attachments , desires is a must.

    Yes, as another said, it is amazing how the universe delivers a much needed message at just the right time.
    Following this path towards non attachment, peace, and trust, is so very difficult here in the United Corporations of America, especially if one is poor. The insatiable greed of these corporations push people into homelessness, and criminalize poverty.
    This monetarily sovereign nation can create money out of thin air, but won't spend a dime to help feed or house the poor, unless it benefits them, but hands out corporate welfare without hesitation. It's so hard to not be angry about that. I wish people understood how much easier it is to stay peaceful and present when you own your own home, however modest, and can afford enough food (or land to grow one's own) and be able to pay the constantly increasing bills.
    Those people often want to live forever, and death will probably be difficult for them.
    Me, I yearn for oblivion.

    Thank you for this message!
    Just today I had the awakening that belief and trust in the universe is the golden key that unlocks the power of god that exists within you. When you trust, you become one with it, and live in a state of fearlessness!
    And when you say emptied of hypnosis, how do we do that ? Is this where practices like meditation, yoga and such, comes into picture ?

    • @JasonGregoryAuthor
      @JasonGregoryAuthor  5 лет назад +2

      Yes, this is where those sorts of practices can help. But you need to have a firm conviction that you are part of everything and be conscious of your ego that tends to take you away from this reality. The ego likes pull you into a world of subjectivity. Meditation will help you to loosen the grip on this cognitive error that we are searate from the world and bring you slowly back into harmony with the nondual reality at our core.

    • @Rohit-ez7ph
      @Rohit-ez7ph 5 лет назад +1

      Jason Gregory hey just to get some clarity, something that doesn’t make sense to me right now is, the fact that ego and the self is an illusion, and experience within is the universal consciousness, if that’s the case then how does Mukthi or liberation make sense as when the ego self is destroyed the infinite self/god will still exist in all other lives, so when you think of liberation it’s only from the perspective of the ego self, but which is just a bunch of memory and subconscious programme, so is universal consciousness being liberated when we achieve maha samadhi or Mukthi?!

    • @Rohit-ez7ph
      @Rohit-ez7ph 5 лет назад +1

      Jason Gregory the strong belief and knowledge that we are all one and that I can completely trust the universe and let go, will the knowledge of this very fact help my awakening or some meditation has to be done to overcome the hypnotic state of mind ? Like I know the truth about reality although my subconscious is programmed from childhood to believe in a different concept, so all I’m asking is if the knowledge of the truth, will that be sufficient to realise my true nature?

  • @magdalenawiko5158
    @magdalenawiko5158 7 месяцев назад

    If I may write something: I really liked your videos about Tao. And I started practicing it. extremely synchronicity and strange events. But I lost my job. being one of the better employees. I trusted the world fully back then. Complete flow, cool events, some effortless manifestations. and....I was cheated😀🤧

  • @KKAkuoku
    @KKAkuoku 3 года назад

    I honestly believe that every conscious desire one has is a vessel to give your internal self what it craves.
    Yet that method is unsustainable.
    The very thing you crave can manifest outwardly multiple times, but you’ll end up continuously begging for more.
    Instead, you can feel out the desire you want in your imagination, find out what internal force you internal self yearns for, and then integrate THAT into your self image.

  • @josesantana27

  • @drewby613
    @drewby613 3 года назад +2

    Thank you for this excellent video. It, and other recent content of yours, has birthed the following question in my mind: If human beings are part of nature, then isn’t everything we do also part of nature? Is it possible for us, as part of nature, to act outside of nature? And if we are part of nature, then how can anything we do “destroy the planet?” How can we destroy nature, that is, the planet, by acting within nature? We can destroy each other, our “civilization”, but nature? The planet? How is this possible? If the events that extincted the dinosaurs didn’t harm the planet, how can anything we do harm the planet?

    • @JasonGregoryAuthor
      @JasonGregoryAuthor  3 года назад +4

      Thank you my friend. Glad you enjoyed the video. You are definitely overthinking what is being said. Humans can obviously be out of accord with nature because we create man-made systems that destroy our naturalness. Remember, Taoism is a critique of socialization for the fact that our nature from birth is warped due to this process. You are neither this and that, and that is stillness, the way of nature. But the human being has fallen for the game of this and that and so we are out of accord with nature. It is really simple to understand. The extinction of the dinosaurs was a natural process of the universe, but humans are destroying their own nature willingly. I could go on and on.

    • @drewby613
      @drewby613 3 года назад +1

      @@JasonGregoryAuthor Thank you! I think I see where I got off track. Even though animals can also pollute (say, a stream by cattle urinating into it) they don't do so from an ego-driven perspective, which keeps whatever they are doing in accord with nature (or their nature). Something will shift in nature, they will move on and the pollution will end. We, on the other hand, through our ego and the concepts and systems we create, leave nature (and our natures) behind--doing systematic, chronic damage. Again, thank you.

    Thank you for treating me (via Google‘s suggested videos) to another immersive treatment of the essence of Dao. One practical suggestion for future productions: Could you please consider making the backing audio track about 1-2 dB quieter? Sometimes - depending on which piece of music was playing - the backing track somewhat competed with the spoken words for attention. I always appreciate videos in which the backing audio is more „felt“ than consciously registered.

This show me why is important to keep the mind and logic as a tool , which be needed to get rid of conceptions as such have been used in this nice documentary. Actualy this not the problem of having mind / more is about the challenge to learn to how is the rightway of using the mind !!
    how ever I know that is not about what we don t know ( The Lack ), more the things that we think we know. Thanks

    “When you are humble enough to leave things alone” can someone please help me with this statement?

    Hello Jason! I absolutely love your work & have been listening to you for a few years now.
    It just so happened I came across your channel during the same time my health started mysteriously declining.
    Your explanation of Tao has truly helped me develop a more humble aspect of myself & find inner self compassion & resilience during such difficult times.
    After 2 years with no diagnosis, I was finally diagnosed with Lyme disease. I have been getting treatment & healing, but it takes time & remission isn’t a guarantee.
    This is something I’ve been trying to accept & embrace, yet lately I feel I have been slipping into some bitterness, impatience & resentment for what is. I just can’t help to feel grieve the good health & lifestyle I once had. I can’t help but strongly desire to get my life & health back.
    I’m curious what you would have to say about those who are struggling with chronic illness in relation to taoism & eastern philosophy? If you made a podcast discussion on that I would love to hear what you & gayung have to say. Or if you know of any valuable resources I’m all ears.
    Thank you 🙏🏼 ☺️ ❤️

    You get what he says when you look at a telescope. Our eyes can only reach a certain limit in the Univers that's literally what cosmologies are saying. We technically all see the same thing, the horizon. The rest we can not see we call that black matter (or anti-matter). It is logical, the matter can only sens matter but transcendence can give us this feeling there's more and this is extension makes up 95% of our Univers. So what's the big gap that we weren't allowed to see? No one knows we can only trust life and surrender to the divine at this point
