      Imo if overly depressed or anxious then usually is because of lack of good organic food,aerobic exercise dictionary reading, music, conversation, animal time, chants, etc.

      @@mateoreyes4235 Good question! I think Lao tzu's original comment was a somewhat generalized and simplistic overview of things - so true in a sense, but not necessarily so technically speaking. He appears to be referring more to the person's immediate state of mind more than anything else. But of course, there's the physical body to take into account also, with its more ingrained energy patterns. So you're right - a depressed person could be anxious at any given moment, and perhaps even the other way round as well.

  • @Engji
    @Engji 3 года назад +57

    I noticed an immediate resistance inside when Alan said "We are used to seeing things from a perspective of Subject and Object, this meaning that when there is a verb in a sentence, there also needs to be a Subject, there needs to be the one who is perceiving it" and I immediately thought: How could that ever be possible? But it hit me...
    What if there is really no subject? Our need to have a "subject" stems from our ego mind, our conditioning that has taught us that we are separate from the outter world. Our ego mind wanting to separate itself from oneness, but if we really look into it, everything is interconnected. Like the cells in our body. Every cell is different, but a single cell wouldn't make sense if you don't embed it in the context of a body. And God/the universe is to us, like a body is to a single cell.
