One of my favourite statements from Lao Tzu is ― “Care about what other people think and you will always be their prisoner.” Many of us have been prisoners of others for far too long without even realising it.
Agree .. other people can control you by imposing their thoughts on yours (peer group) .. the more you stand comfortable within your own skin the happier you will be
‘The tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao The name that can be named is not the eternal Name.” I have always taken this to mean that words are inherently limited. A map is not the thing mapped. A description is not the thing itself. Human attempts to define or describe reality inevitably falls short. Does anyone have a different understanding?

"Gendering"? Pretty sure Lao Tzu would have laughed at "political correctness". He would taught you to be responsible for your own feelings rather than push your morals on others.
Bruce Lee will forever be the voice in my head that echoes "empty your mind, be formless, shapeless like water." You should do a video on Bruce and explore his understanding of self actualization and never surrendering. He's been quite the inspiration for me.

My mother fit the quote of "when one candle lights another, it itself is not diminished." And she never tried to outshine others. Thank you bringing this quote to me.
Whoever knows contentment finds peace forever. So true. Knowing that what we have is a gift is like a balm to our soul. We don’t have to constantly push and run. We can relax and breath.
I really like these 10-15 minutes of wisdom you provide us with. It feels like I disconnect myself from the stress in my life to go into this very calm, peaceful and still place where your soft, delicate voice, accompanied with relaxing music, enlightens me about the world and life. Thanks for all your work!
I wish more people understood this. It doesn’t matter how hard you work towards certain things if it just isn’t meant for you. It’s like swimming against the current.
There are a lot of similarities with Buddhism! The gentle art of letting go of control is essential. Every seasoned meditator (that also tries to achieve insight) will notice at some point, that the amount of control we actually have is tiny and at best an illusion. Knowing that, we can redirect mental resources to the things that are really important!
I went on a Sundo retreat in Romania with Master Kim who was teaching Lao Tzu's teaching. Sundo is an anxient Taoist way of living and being. I find the whole subject facinating and have trained to be a Dahn Master under Ilchi Lee's Brain Education System. I have started teaching this in my local area and now have to do this online. It seems to resonate with people more now as we are living in a society that is becoming oblivious to common sense. The ones who are waking up to this seem to be embracing these thoughts and philosophies with open hearts. It certain is an interesting time to be alive, and using your energy, rather than force, you can actually ahchieve the life you want. Not using force and allowing things to be is the key. Also becoming the energy that you want to be, which if it forceful in any way, will be hard work. If it is natural and caring, it will be successful. Always a great watch. Thanks for sharing. :)
These five points are so important to live a happy life. Actually without having read anything about Taoism before, I am naturally living according to these principles and I can only recommend it to everybody. I am leading a simple life in which I don’t want to become a slave of my possessions. And I always trust the universe because deep down in my soul I have an intuition which guides me through life without forcing things. With this natural mentality I have found my soulmate in life, he is my great love and I’m so happy about it. ❣️
I am a regular listener of your teaching for the last 2 years almost all files I have saved listened several times. I was not knowing how to comment on line but now I have learned.

All I know is sometimes people's have a path that causes different effects from people you come across you to treat you in a way they never treat people because the path you have can change people to break free from the programming. And no matter how good you are to other or how positive you are won't matter. I spent my life pleasing and helping other and today not one person today has helped me. Not even letting me shower or inviting me over for a hit meal. I live in my car and those two things would mean the world to me. No one checks on me or anything. But I will never become negative or treat others badly. I will stay positive and keep my head up because my environment and the people in it aren't who I am and don't control me. It's been rough but I know that the end result is what I focus on nor money or success in this world but ending the cycling back is what is important to me.
“Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don't resist them; that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like.” ― Lao Tzu
This ancient wisdom is more relevant than ever, as humanity faces great challenges. I’m ineffably grateful for these videos, many thanks to Einzelgänger! ✌️❤️
The fact that Taoism drives me nucking futs is proof enough that the path offered by this perspective is painfully truthful. The constant contradicting ironies expressed by Taoism frustrate me so much because I know they mirror the universe our spirits currently occupy. My dear Uncle Dave used to loosely paraphrase Lao Tzu often to help me out with my biggest problem... myself. He would say things like, "Those who say don't know. Those who know don't say." Or "Untangle the knot and soften your glare, darkly visible, it's as if it were there." Talk about being intrigued and frustrated at the same time! Taoism requires the ability to surrender without compromise and so much more. I'm just an old ding dong but I want to thank you and the people who wrote marvelous comments below. I didn't see arrogance or cleverness but rather understanding and empathy. That's the way. All the best.
Thank you for the multiple, and amazing videos on Taoism. I've watched them multiple times already, and I think I'll continue to do so for a long time. I've been reading the Tao Te Ching but some parts require some interpretation and your videos are just the perfect companion.
With so many millions of people who know about all this wisdom, including all other philosophical teachings, it's strange that the world is still F-and-crazy.
A friend of mine who was a project manager told me once that he had experienced a phenomenon he couldn't understand not once but on many occasions over the decades. He said when a project was facing critical challenges frighting deadline for completion, no matter how hard he tried to control and manage it, problems never end, over and over again popped up. Once he fell sick for more than a week, when he returned the biggest problems he been facing in the project were all resolved or almost overcome. On other occasion his close relative pass away was forced to take leaves and another was his prebooked air travel holidays could not be postponed without losing all his money. Hence Lao Tzu's brilliant teaching really works. Thank you for your sharing.
I think the most important thing to realize is that hustle culture sort of breaks us down. I mean, it's important to work and be disciplined but not break ourselves in the process
I couldn't agree more.. Just when I find myself free and content, when I focus on my "hustle" the stresses and personal pressures of feeling inadequate come back in and send me crashing down and I have to start from scratch.
Exactly hustle culture is so bad but they glorify it. It makes life boring if you’re constantly working especially doing a job you hate. It’s stressful
"Whether you go up the ladder or down it, your position is shaky. When you stand with your two feet on the ground, you will always keep your balance." - Lao Tzu
My parents were born during the Great Depression ... they accomplish much with very little before any talk of minimalism ... now that I reflect they were my greatest teachers.
I love that before i started practicing Taoism, i came to realise the "river of life" anecdote in Tao, it has always made my life a lot more meaningful and worthwhile from that perspective 🙏 thank you for the reminders 😊
I just found your channel. So refreshing and needed. Found it at the right time. Subscribed and will continue to follow as I believe this is the only way we’re able to continue living freely.
Okay sir, you are a mind reader. Our philosophy class is doing a project on philosophers, and I wanted to do Lao Tzu, not mentioned in our book. I literally was just watching your video from August 4th, 2019, checked my notifications and here this was. Everything happens for a reason!
The final lesson really shows a lot to one of y currently situations. With my truck I often drive not reckless, but more or less fearless. The things I’ve done are stupid, but fun. Soon enough though things will happen. We recently got around 8” of snow and I plowed into a sign. If I am always afraid of hitting something, I will never have fun. I still wear my seatbelt, but I still go out and have fun. Along with that, my time learning to control my truck while not in complete control has helped me as I could’ve gone for a bank of rocks, or I could of gone for a sign. Being reckless taught me to control when I normally wouldn’t have control. Am I mad I hit a sign and hurt my truck; yes. But I can fix it. So why worry so much?
How will we comprehend his wisdom if you don't study it with the heart ? But with you intellectuality... These are really deep spiritual advices !! Not to be applied in our fictional life of materialism !! Oh I know he would have smiled down at us on how confused and asleep we are.
Thank you for summarizing and sharing these key points from Taoism! They are very important outlooks that I believe everyone should hear about at least once.
One proof of the truth of these things is the fact that so many Masters have made the same points, even though they spoke different languages, etc. Timeless truths that will be just as important 1000 yrs from now because man has the same problems. Can you enjoy without clinging? Yes, because it is a movie playing on a screen...a make belief that lasts an hour or 2... maya. Thanks for this.
Interestingly, a year ago I would scream here how easy it is to make a video about it that sounds nice but try to live a life I am living and apply it. But today I feel like this is a relieve to just let go and let the world to live on its own. But the difference is that I have changed my situation so I became more free and happy so I am becoming more able to engage in 'letting go'. But I understood that if you want to be able to let go, leave the stressful life. Give up on effords that cause you to live in stress. It is better to not have as to have in exoense of the inner peace.

The Tao Te Ching taught me that the most profound things in life are often the most obvious.
A tree as great as a man's embrace springs up from a small shoot;
A terrace nine stories high begins with a pile of earth;
A journey of a thousand miles starts under one's feet.
People usually fail when they are on the verge of success.
So give as much care to the end as to the beginning;
Then there will be no failure.

But I understood that if you want to be able to let go, leave the stressful life. Give up on effords that cause you to live in stress. It is better to not have as to have in exoense of the inner peace.

Here is how to imagine you're own non-existence: "Everyone is "I" to themselves" - Alan Watts
As long as there's new organisms born in the universe after you cease to exist, then death will always be followed by a new "I". The "I" of one of those new brains.
Words to live by: ‘Change is the only constant.’
