Good discussion, " Surrender means, two become one, it means one is surrender to other, it becomes one and now there is no other, only become one" . So surrender means not looser. Thanku
Thank you so much sharing with us the philosophy/teachings in the Dao De Jing, which I feel is an excellent way to learn and appreciate more about Taoism!
This is the most simple yet complex presentation of existence I've heard from another being , I praise for your knowledge and sharing it with our brothers and sisters , this is quite astounding and very profound , I can't express my intrigue enough , again Salute !
Jason, what an incredibly good and balanced discussion between yourself and Gayoung on that 23rd chapter of Lao Tzu's Tao de ching headed- The soft overcomes the hard. How true it is in nature or this universal principal refered to by Lao Tzu as the Tao, which is natural and inherent in all so called things, refered to as 'The 10 tbousand things'. I love Gayoung as she is just so wise and beautiful, as I know that you do too. Thank you both!❤ Mark West.
I read something recently on another forum, a forum I was reading about ego dissolution on… and someone made a good point about how it’s important to empty as much as we can. You know, to be clear and relaxed so that we can surrender to the void. We all have responsibilities and have to stay engaged on various levels with the world… but If we take every opportunity to be empty we’ll be more fit instruments for Tao to work with. What do you think? Aloha. 🤙🏽
I often get negative intrusive thoughts in the form of judgement and hate. I want to be in a more positive state of mind, and see all beings for who and what they are, not seperate from me but one with me.
@@rabbitcreative no. Veganism is an ideology which is against the very fabric of Taoism and spirituality. Be comfortable enough to allow people to make their own decisions in life. Otherwise you become a tyrant with your virtue signaling. Don't be insecure. Allow people to be as they will.
I can relate! I am considering trying psychedelics to get there, but some things I've read suggest that is forcing it, which seems unhelpful in trying to reach acceptance lol
The proponents of those drugs are really being reckless in down playngbhow badly they can hurt people. Hallucinogens may not be addictive, but even a small number of encounters at moderate doses can do lasting damage to executive functioning and mental health. The war on drugs was terrible, but no mind altering drugs are safe.
I've chosen to move back to my home state. Trying to balance yin and yang as I navigate what timing really is best. "Initiate and manufacture action, or let it be and relax and wait for the signs." It is challenging to realize how much of my destiny is in my hands....
Love your channel. One suggestion: you have a little "SUBSCRIBE" icon in the bottom right corner. When you put the words of the Tao Te Ching (or whatever) 2-3 letters are covered by the SUBSCRIBE icon. Move the words either up a couple of centimeters or to the right. Thank you!
Opinion is definite= obstacle to progress. We have to allow changes, willingly let go = surrender to unknown. That would be co-creator of life, in image of God. Security, comfort is Recession
Greetings with peace , because I can't say hello , hell is low in the literal of our conditioning , this , what you have said , I have experience for myself first hand without any human guidance , this is what is so profound in your presentation of knowledge to me personally , you've blown me away because I thought I was nuts , now I know I'm not , I'd love to share with you some time , fabulous stuff/insight , man awsome I'm so wowed at your knowledge ! ❤
This is a testament to the Manifestations of God Who are tested with trails during their life and utter indignities, only to rise up centuries later as pivotal leaders of the world.

Taoism is all about Yin energy, the power of the feminine. There are advantages to responding to hardness by yielding, like the motorcycle racer who goes with the flow after falling off the bike, remaining uninjured.
Would You kindly remind Us of the two main reminders of daily praQtice from the Tao...One was exercise daily...and the other... We experienced some lovely sharings in Nelson BC and dont recall the chapter, but recall the main point that theres two main points...Your assistamce to recolleQt would be FUNomenal! ThanQ for Your sharings, infinite blessings upon All in Existence♾🕉♾🙏
Excellent podcast! Superb and straight to the point with direct teaching of Tao Te Ching chapter 36. Love the commentary and interpretation on this and all other episodes 🎉 perfect! Great job and thank you for creating n sharing
Well of course king or an emperor should never display his wealth to the people he should never look greedy, people look at people in positions of power and most likely they tell themselves if the king is doing it why can’t I, the king should set an example for everyone else, ultimately when your kingdom gets too gigantic you want to create what you have created originally and put them in specific locations but of course there’s only one place that holds power, If there is corruption at the top then they will be absolute corruption everywhere.
I think of it like a cat, a house cat if, you watch the house cat ,mostly its relaxed but then it will pounce at tremendous speed. i watched a house cat lure a bird using its tail laying there moving its tail just a little the bird went in to get a closer look the cat pounced caught the bird. of course i saved he bird but the art of deception the illusion of all is quiet calm . the rock and water thing mentioned thing, well a rock will last much longer then water if the water is stagnant but if water is in the Taoist sense meaning as in flowing then the rock wears away. I love the soft hard way of the oak and willow tree analogy the willow soft and free moving the oak hard and stiff in the wind the oak can break while the willow flows and dances . of course it also depends on ones roots if the willow is in damp wet sill the willow will probably will get blown over but it also will probably still grow . the key thing I have learn out of 4-5 decades of Taoist way of thought is to not think too much just be.
The inner vrittis and samaskaras prevent surrender.. prevent us from becoming One understand Advaita..it's an inner beingness ..The v atoms in India in her air, in her soil in her vibration leads onf to question ❓ Why am I Here ..what's the purpose of this life..lead me from Darkness to Light..then a Guru arrives..once the kriya yoga occurs.. every text is experienced...
You can't use the soft over strong strategy only with Putin. Sometimes, you have to use the sword for sword strategy. Balance is a combination of both extremes. You cannot deal with authoritarian regimes with soft power only.
You completely missed the point of this podcast. You obviously don't understand Taoism. Also, why focus just on Putin with your comment? Why not presidents like Obama who bombed the hell out of Syria? The Syrians I know still can't believe that nothing was made of his bloodshed. Again, you need to understand the nature of why soft always overcomes hard according to Taoism. Don't just think short-term.
Pride comes before the fall and evil has a way of swallowing its own tail, but I agree that evil in all forms should be confronted. Still, in our own lives.. If we always take up the sword, eventually we will be met by our own blade... World issues are different than personal issues... and they even said here, you can't always be in a state of Yin, sometimes action must be taken. Those actions must be wise and decisive, not careless or prideful. God allows the Devil to test us. To test the human heart. To train us. ...but the Devil has already lost in the end.
Actually I don’t have any thoughts on how my life would be better if it was a certain way I want a better life for everyone and equal life we should all be on the level tell the children the truth is what they need to start doing. By lying to the children they are only developing liars thieves and murderers. The school system it starts there right perhaps having one teacher for 30 students is a very bad idea, to think that every child needs to learn the same thing when every individual is different, every child born as a gift to offer but when you do blanket teach them they cannot enhance those gifts and they will soon forget about them.
How should the Ukrainian people respond to the deadly bombing from Putin's Russia? Should they surrender or defend themselves? To seek balance implies that imbalance exists. I listened but was not inspired to the presentation. I personally prefer balance but rarely see it in practice or reality.
No individual or nation should "surrender" to evil. Evil must be confronted in all its forms. However, pride comes before the fall, and evil has always had a way of swallowing its own tail. World issues are of course different from personal issues, and if a person always takes up a sword they should be prepared to be met by their own blade. In regard to evil... It is about knowing when to strike and where. Being both wise and decisive. Not careless in any way or prideful ourselves. Evil's greatest weakness at first appears a strength... It intimidates. That's the only edge it has. Even God on some level allows the Devil to test us. To test the hearts of humankind. We can be broken by this or realize we are being trained. Trained to have courage. Impenetrable minds/spirits. Trained in such a way that we can no longer be deceived. ...or we can falter by the intimidation/pain of it. ((I know as a human this is all too easy)) Even within this video, it is stated that we can't be in a state of Yin at all times... of course there are points in life where action must be taken. ....The key is to learn how to carry Thunder when necessary and strike with lightning when appropriate, while still keeping a sound mind and peaceful heart. I struggle with being ENRAGED by the injustice of this world... ....but the devil and all his puppets within this world lose in the end. Think of Rome. Think of Hitler. Nothing evil will be left standing THERE WILL BE JUSTICE Although... Sometimes the time it takes is heartbreaking
Is not the greatest power then the softest, something like forsite? the actors with their yang are the participants... they follow their own cadence. the one viewing is another paticipant but not not like the yang players.
Do you truly believe that polarity has a law to it. like the so-called law of thermodynamics whenever you put law in front of some thing people interpreted as absolute and nothing is absolute we can only go by experiences and in our experience we see polarity everywhere, but here’s a crazy thought what if polarity only exists in our galaxy and once you leave the sphere of influence of our galaxy physics itself could be different I don’t know nobody knows. The state of science now is observation of reaction to the scientist truly know what’s going on oh they don’t. you should never conclude on an idea that you truly have no idea about. Keep it open ended let your consciousness explore and be open to other ideas don’t hold onto those ideas and don’t think those ideas are absolute. I think polarity only exists in this lower realm of gross matter I think in the higher dimensions and ultimately the one true reality is pure energy and the manipulation of this energy is where true creation begins.
His interpretation of what a nation should do and show ,what I got out of that is in order to be strong you must look weak his philosophy kind of touch on the philosophical side of war. how about this how about all nations stop calling war the theater of war dismantle all weapons break down all borders the rich countries help the weaker ones out of their situation build some infrastructure for them get the weaker nations on par with everyone else let everyone be equal. and the system of capitalism has to go the mere fact that you are capitalizing on an idea or somebody’s idea or maybe it’s a small iteration of somebody’s idea cause that’s pretty much everything in the patent office you might find one percent that is original ideas. It’s a very bad system the incentive to help people only comes from the money an individual will get out of it. that in itself is wrong. your teachings is too esoteric it’s open to interpretation and if anything is open to interpretation in my opinion need to be looked at deeper rather than teaching this. And what I mean by that is being weak can be strong you can interpret that with sword fighting rather than striking at your opponent be soft and deflect his attacks the philosophy of martial arts internal and external has the same philosophy.

Softness is not passivity…it’s adaptability and resilience ✨
As a person that has been fighting most of ones life, surrendering feels weak due to bad habits and its actually stronger and healthier. Thank you.
Well recognized 🙏
"The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting" Sun Tzu
Wow. I love this Sun Tzu is fascinating. Thank you for sharing.

You both have awesome chemistry and I enjoy hearing you discuss these Taoist topics so much!
You articulated why I’ve always wanted to go to India. Organized chaos is my perception. My friend from India is wise and peaceful. It is inspiring.
Wow you guys, that was the best treatment of this topic that I have ever heard! And I needed to hear it now!
Thank You Both!🤗🙏
Soft power is a fascinating concept that you both explained well thank you for this
This is the most simple yet complex presentation of existence I've heard from another being , I praise for your knowledge and sharing it with our brothers and sisters , this is quite astounding and very profound , I can't express my intrigue enough , again Salute !
Highly recommend you Osho (YT videos)
Fascinating! I appreciate this conversation so much 🙏🏻
My motto this whole year so far: Do Less

EAT LESS, DO MORE.
Me too.

Yes. Stay still until we must move. Don’t tire yourself needlessly while great mountains lie ahead waiting for dominion.
Love this message. Beautiful, simple and 100% true. Thank you for the much needed reminder! 💖👍☯

By the way I wrote my statement right after you put up that paragraph I did not see the full video yet, i’m not surprised by the rest of the video.
"Learn to surrender"
"EXPECT THINGS NOT TO GO YOUR WAY"
...pretty much how life is 😂
When things do go our way... It's probably just a fluke.
Polarity in genders?? Blasphemy….go to jail 🥴🤣
Be decent: Go vegan!
No. Veganism is an ideology which is against the very fabric of Taoism and its amoral nature and spirituality. I think you don't understand Taoism. Be comfortable enough to allow people to make their own decisions in life. Otherwise you become a tyrant with your virtue signaling. Don't be insecure. Be decent, allow people to be as they will.
