Very very nice words sir🙏🙏..Lots of love from an Indian ❤.Actually in our asian culture our relatives and friends often ask us about our future plans of establishment or something else.Because in their view, life is all about a purpose ,a goal... achieving something...."What will you do after college..?"-this is the typical question we get from our relatives .Their questions are always based on future or past... Actually a hunger to be unique ,to be somebody is praised all over the world...I think there is no need for you to prove yourself unique because nature has already created you unique....you are alive in this beautiful world... living and singing ...what more do you want🙏🙏🙏... always live now...in this very moment 😊😊
Yeah I'd say we carry cultural baggage as much as we try to act like culture is inherently a good thing.
This culture is toxic in so many levels.
That's definitely one example of how.
I think as long as we act like capitalism is a good system, rather than a psychopathic one, we are dooming ourselves and the planet.
And it's certainly terrible for mental health too
@@MattAngionoYes sir... absolutely...in most cases the more cultural a man or woman is, the more dangerous he or she will be.... Culture doesn't nourish us,it destroys us.
Agree with your comment.
Everytime I watch one of your videos i feel pure bliss and calmness, thanks george sir! 🤍
Thanks for the lovely comment! Sending warmth and gratitude
Walt Whitman said, “I exist as I am, that is enough.” What could be truer? Yet, the world has indoctrinated us otherwise. Sad, but true. Thank you for sharing your understanding with us. You’re wonderful, George, and such a breath of fresh air from all the go-getting “entrepreneurs” of the younger generations.
Believing in yourself puts a lot of focus on the ego, huh? I am an ESL teacher but after I was certified, it was hard finding students. I kept saying, "i just want to be be an English teacher. I know I can do it!" but the striving tired me. So, instead I started saying, "I AM an English teacher, I'm just waiting for students." And the burden of believing in myself was lifted 😌
Whenever i get a thought about whether i am happy or not, i usually answer to myself: "Sure, why not", and then continue doing whatever i was doing. Even if i am feeling sad, i still answer the same every time.
"Is that so?", another good one I picked up from a zen story. ☺ 🌱
@@curioustin1562Hmmmmm, interesting.
I officially became a Taoist today 😊
I love you bro. "Can you celebrate your uncarved form". Wonderful
I'm so glad you found it valuable 🙏. Much love
George, I have been following you for a couple of years now and I love all your videos.. May sound corny but when I need to return to myself, I recite the mantra "I am one with the Force and the Force is with me"
The "I Am" part is very interesting. That gets noted/mentioned often in Rupert Spira's "You Are the Happiness That You Are Seeking"
Loved this George, thank you for distilling this in such a short video. The wise self is the uncarved form, that which already knows without comprehending. Letting go is a key teaching here, we must do a thing only for the sake of doing it. If we are doing it as a means to an end, we lose the power of the Tao.
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I appreciate your support and thoughtful reflection. 🙏
After watching several of your videos I remembered that in the Western world there is too much emphasis on the intellect part of mind, to the point that people live in their heads. Not only do we overthink with this monkey mind but when a challenge comes along, then we feel even more stress as we're already busy in our heads!
In another video you'd talked about emptying yourself. To me it's more akin to letting go of energies that interfere with one's being. Thinking (intellect) is a tool that only needs to be engaged when analyzing or solving a problem. At all other times, just be in the moment.
These philosophical nuggets remind us to experience life rather than live in a world of mini-movies in our heads. LOL
You're on a genuine journey, brother. Appreciate your films and sharing your struggles and discoveries.
Learning about the Tao from Lao Tsu, Qi Gong and Tai Chi is now on my list … well, Lao Tsu is long gone and I'm illiterate in Chinese so that puts Master Gu on my radar
George another beautiful and profound, heartfelt video. Thank you for sharing your insight and this ancient wisdom with the world. You are a blessing to us all. Wishing you well
Thank you so much for your kind words. I'm glad the video resonated with you. Wishing you well too! 🙏
Thank you George. I have also found working with my internal environment, using the parts approach, to be incredibly powerful and liberating. Much love to everyone else on their healing journey ♥️
Thanks for the lovely comment and sharing your experience! Such a joy to be moving with you. Appreciate you 🙏
Sending much warmth
@@George-Thompson 🙏
Even within the destructive thoughts of comparison and hatred we can find some strength. Feeling not enough is longing to be happy ofcourse. We just learned to express it very confused (by an environment who only acknowledged us when we were 'enough', not being seen when we weren't that?)
Thank you for bringing your perspective. When reflecting about taoism lessons, my soul grows ❤
I'm so glad you found it valuable. May you continue to find balance and nourishment from the universe 🙏
Thank you for the message...your wisdom is amazing !!!
Thank you so much for this! So appropriate for me right now.
Thank you for letting me know its okay to let go of the pressure of believing in myself!
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm glad the message resonated with you. Wishing you peace and balance. Appreciate you being here 🙏
i was going to subscribe to you until i realised i already had subscribed to you ages ago thank you keep up the good work
Thank you for sharing this wisdom, I think it helps us all with remembering our peace.
I'm so glad you found it valuable. Appreciate you 🙏
I respect that your faith is different than mine, but self belief and self acceptance are the catalysts for Shadow integration and the empowered state of moving energy in accordance with the personal Will. Those are tenets of my own faith and have helped me heal from trauma and move mountains in my life. But there are many ways to live and I wish you peace on your chosen path. I do love your videos!
Thank you George!
Im so glad you found it valuable. Appreciate you 🙏
Instead of "I am enough"
think. "I AM!.......... ENOUGH!"
I was lucky to take a class with film director Tom Shadyac (Ace Ventura, Bruce Almighty) and he always had great witty quotes.
His films always had a hidden magical message.
Eventually, he made a documentary about his life which was really good.
It's called "I AM"
love this!!
@George-Thompson you should really try to watch the film if you haven't!
It was amazing!
It's actually how I got in his class, as I had already graduated, but went to a local screening that he was at.
I met him after the film and he was nice enough to invite my mom and I to attend the class the next week.
After we interacted a bit more, he actually invited us to attend the whole semester, and we did!
It was so beautiful!
It was almost like group therapy every week, as we discussed so many deep compassionate things about society and ourselves.
We'd watch a movie one night and discuss it the following morning.
He bought everyone pizza and coffee too!
Just an amazing man all around!
I was pretty emotional when it all ended....
His film helps show what an amazing person he is.
A true anomaly from what you'd expect to come out of Hollywood!
Yes we only start thinking when George comes on (the right half),seems continuation is popular, if we believe there's more, feel there's more,our desire for understanding,ect, are your past self also desiring continuation of what tripped their trigger leading somewhere we're trying to put together feelings synchronicitys ,dejavos , intuitions , actually are elbows to the ribs ( mmm ribs) trying to get are attention and giving us something to do besides confrontation (I mean we're glad Biden dropped out), Peace
Very well spoken. I found this to be true in my journey as well. Thank you for sharing, and reminding.
Thank you for your kind words! I'm glad to hear that this resonates with your journey. Sending love and gratitude
Love this George, thank you.
Im glad you found it valuable. It's wonderful to have you here! 🙏
When the whole is divided, the parts need names. There are already enough names. 🙏
You have a very calming voice..............
I appreciate your comment. Thank you! 🙏
This is the best thing I’ve ever heard!
Thank you so much! I'm glad to hear that you found it valuable. Your support means a lot. Sending warmth 🙏
Beautiful ❤
I'm so glad you found it valuable 🙏
Great work as always buddy!
Thanks so much. Your appreciation means a lot! Sending love
Thank you ❤
My pleasure. Appreciate you 🙏
It is so wonderful to see you release your self from the social exceptions internalised by the society you grow up!! I strongly recommend you to read a bit Chuang Tzu!! Rumi's poem is absolutely beautiful. I wonder if you would also be interested in reading some of the classic Chinese poems, especially those by Tao Yuan-ming?
Talking leads to thinking
I’d rather be still
Still of body and mind
Now I am fishing
Soon I will be eating
Then maybe a nap
Beautiful. So helpful. Thank you ❤
I'm so glad you found it valuable. Appreciate you 🙏
Great video! 👍Thank you for sharing it this was a very powerful lesson with amazing insights. 💖
Thanks a lot! I'm glad you found it nice. Your encouragement means a lot. Sending warmth ❤🙏
Very insightful indeed, thanks a lot for this sharing of wisdom!
Thank you for your kind words! I’m glad you found the insights valuable. Such a joy to be moving with you 🙏
your a lifesaver Bud thank You & the Divine
Thank you so much for your lovely comment. I'm really glad you are enjoying and getting something from the videos - it's my privilege! Sending warmth
Another great video George, love it. ☯️🙏
It’s wonderful to have you here. Thank you so much for your support 🙏
So your point is that instead of fighting thoughts you should accept them and not trying to cover them with the act of believing in yourself
Great video.
Not as great as Brent Davis though. Whatever you've lost, whatever you missed, was beautiful smoke rising in the wind. And in your eyes, the light of your path shines through. Love you Brent x.
Thank you! ♥️
George, thank you 💚🍂
My pleasure! Such a joy to have you here. Sending love ❤
@@George-Thompson thank you, you've helped me so much! Wishing you all the best ✨
Excellent Share George
✌💖 ☯️
Thanks so much. Glad you like the video 🙏
Sending warmth
Loved this❤
Thanks so much. It's wonderful to have you here! 🙏
Thank you George. I can't tell you how timely this video was - it was the teaching I desperately needed, at the moment I needed it most ☯...take care brother!
Great vídeo!❤ Hello from Brasil!
Thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed the video. Hello to you in Brazil! Your support means a lot. ❤
Greetings from Wudangshan 🙏
Love your words
Thanks for your lovely comment. Appreciate you 🙏
Great video!! I love the pun you made around 1:00, Pu or poo actually does not make any difference if you ask Chuang Tzu!!

I’d like to tell you more about the story of the Taoist Wellness Online, Master Gu’s Online Academy. How the Academy started is quite a funny story 🙈.
We could never have imagined that today we are now the biggest Tai Chi school IN THE WORLD!

Master Gu is fluent in English and has always seen it as his life mission to share the healing Taoist arts of Tai Chi, Qi Gong and Meditation with the world. He shared with me his vision to create not only online courses, but an online Academy.
I was excited by this vision and shared how I could use my filmmaking and inter-web skillz to make it happen.
We then had a cup of tea and Master Gu sang Chinese opera while playing the guitar… 🤠☯
We are really proud of what we have built. We now are a 16-person team from 7 countries and we are on a mission to create films, communities and transformative education to help people and planet live in balance.
The Online Academy is one of the best ways you can help us on our mission and you get so much learning!

Hello George.. please help us by making a video of gods/God in taoism,, like is taoism a monotheistic religion or a polytheistic religion?.. I believe a video on that can be helpful to many me included since I've never found any easy to understand explanation on the internet regarding that
@@ace4life395 I don't think there's any reason to believe there's a god being referred to in Taoism.
There's the Tao, which just means the way of things.
There's no need for a person or a god that dictates or controls things.
If by god, you mean nature, as Spinoza often said and Einstein tended to agree with, then you could say the Tao is god.
But the whole definition of god is crucial to discern what you actually mean here.
Taoism isn't a religion as much as it is a philosophy.
It's a way of looking at what actually happens in the universe and how we can flow most easily with such things
❤
LIKE INSIDE THE SELF OUTSIDE OF THE SELF DOESN'T KNOW OTHERS OR SELF REALLY We live Most of the time Outside of the Self and Want to believe in the Darkness we are ok the way we are going? Granted we are blind and choices are what they are possibly
However As George is Putting this the Ocean is the Chaos WE Blindly live in! How can I know You in the dark? And the Ocean moves on you know? So Become an Idiot Scramble your mind Like Eggs in a Pan and there you are the door to self moves on Knowing is Not Knowing Being is Born from Non Being Your Mind is Your mind NOT THE currents of the Ocean with the Complexities YOU are there TOO Your mind becomes Over Taxed so be a person with No Mind and Move on
🙏🙏🙏🪷🪷🪷😊😊😊
But Swami Vivekananda taught Absolute belief in Yourself? He was Eastern non-dualist philosopher.
He said Self is God and God is Self.
"Aham Brahmasmi" translated as "I am God".
I am more comfortable with believing in my self as the Ultimate truth.
@@playmobilegamescodm it's up to you, as you are the one that has to live with yourself.
But remember, human beings have a massively deep capacity for self deception.
Just look at the rampant narcissism in our current culture.
They relationship with yourself can easily go from healthy to toxic.
I'm not saying you suffer that, but such a guiding light could easily lead you there.
I certainly wouldn't want anyone in important or powerful positions to have such beliefs...
I'm so confused. What are you saying? This doesn't make sense. Sounds like you don't understand what "believe in yourself" means. Which is why I'm confused bc it's about confidence.
Utter nonsense. Of course you should believe in yourself, that doesn't mean you'll lose the ability to be humble. Of course you should believe in yourself and others too. I don't understand why your advice tries to cancel the thought of trusting in yourself while also working on yourself and being humble.
Also nothing is that deep. Simplicity itself is what leads a person to understand themselves better and to work on themselves.
Hey troll, the mountain is that way 👇follow the path past the volcano and judgment, keep going until nothing really matters, there you shall find your tribe, but they shall reject you. Your end is further. Beyond all existence. There you will find peace, and so shall all mankind. @@gamingnetflixotakuunderpre841
@gamingnetflixotakuunderpre841 if nothing is thst deep then why did you write two replies one a paragraph long?🧐 And whatsUp with dem emotions, seems to be a bit deep to you
@@Andrew-qc8jh not two paragraphs. Barely two sentences. And the content is still pretty simple. Life is simple. Earth is simple. And we are simple too. Anything complicated is killing the true meaning of things and of what's important. Have a good day.
@@gamingnetflixotakuunderpre841 then why didn't you write that?
