How haven't the chinese dealt with yall yet? They tried taking tibet and rid china of falun gong.. How are you able to talk about what destroys the foundation and framework of the ccp without trouble? Stay safe my guy
Very insightful! Thank you! So much effort and time goes into the practice of deprogramming what’s been put into our minds during our childhood period. Artificial and arbitrary rules and limitations are being implanted into our ways of viewing ourselves and the world around us. No culture is free of this crime. In many ways the role of “culture” is about the implantation of a set of rules that we must follow. Most of the time it is hard to pint-point to who's responsible for these set of rules and we therefor assume that these regulations must be collectively generated and therefor universal or even divine in some absurd ways. What this oppression points at is a profound lack of wisdom. Following the Tao is to have trust in the spontaneous flow of sanity born from within. But because most people lack the trust in their innate abilities for wisdom they are persuaded to adopt the rules of society instead, and will live all their days in a miserable state of unfulfilled potentials. And we all know that this is a wasted life squandered away in the most disgraceful ways. Many of us respond to this situation in their lives with the attempts to regulate and control others as a twisted way of compensate for their own imprisonment. The truth is that we can brake loose from this bondage at any moment! All worldly or religious morality can be discarded with a snap of a finger. They are arbitrary and not born out of our own inborn wisdom. Therefor they are utterly superficial and contrary to truth. Theirs primarily function is to prevent us from arise as enlightened beings capable of extraordinary accomplishments. It is part of our karma to be born into a collective ignorance of this kind and all the cultures, religions and political establishments are just like mirrors of our own inabilities to rise out of this self-inflicted bondage. Societal institutions are created as mirror images of our own willingness for limitations and restrictions. Moral codes and religious symbols are created to reinforce ignorance and to make sure we are not tempted to brake loose and embark upon the inevitable journey towards our own awakening. In this way we witness how true spiritual awakening goes in a diametrically opposed direction away from organised religion. We see how religion effectively acts as a formidable obstacle for anyone yearning for truth and the emergence of wisdom. To stop caring for the perpetuation of ones own society is a first step towards take on the real and heartfelt caring of all life of the universe. To stop being partial towards one set of rules and dogmas is to open up for the possibility of being part of something much larger! That begins with realising how insignificance of our own being is and the only special thing about us is our potential for awakening and the realisation of wisdom. A trait that we share with all other beings, as it were!
Yes and I try my best to not overplay my part. All the trouble makers in the world are the ones who take themselves too seriously. Stay a genuine fake.
I totally get this understanding now in my later years! Being a gay man taught that my innate sexuality was displeasing to God was a cause of great suffering. Trying to follow "the rules" of the church was a horrible thing to do for me. ❤
“Listen up, maggots. You are not special. You are not a beautiful or unique snowflake. You're the same decaying organic matter as everything else.” - Tyler Durden. PS, thanks for another great vid guys 🙏👍🙌 ☯️
Nice!!! Also...Tyler Durden: [1:24:27] You're not your job. You're not how much money you have in the bank. You're not the car you drive. You're not the contents of your wallet.
The best leaders are the people who project their inner light onto others, they see them in positive lights, therefore don't have to lead them in the regular sense, they just are themselves, in their highest form and output more than you could ever get from them otherwise, this creates a harmonious environment where everybody and everything synergizes perfectly with itself. This is why a society with no rule is the goal, because the people themselves are on such a level that there is no point of any laws, there is no friction, no ego that gets in the way of doing things, no selfishness, everybody understands that anytime you want more for yourself, you invariably get less.
The government made a rule. It was 12 inches long. But they don’t use it as a rule. Another example of government wasting our money. They should listen to you Jason. 🙏
Great episode! Thank you so much. Let's let nature be the best government and stop perpetuating the mess we have made on a global scale by interfering with nature and going against it. Thanks Jason and Gayoung! Be blessed
Hey, i find it difficult in a job / work situation.. somethimes/ regularly the law/ rules i a work situation is not the tao.. very good épisode! Thank you
Maybe one can say that on the form dimension every individual is different and therefore special in its natural way, as a reflection/expression of Oneness. Not being special is much harder to accept by my mind, though at the end it points to the same truth. ❤
"Their morals, their code; it's a bad joke. Dropped at the first sign of trouble. They're only as good as the world allows them to be. You'll see- I'll show you. When the chips are down these, uh, civilized people? They'll eat each other." -The Joker (The Dark Knight)
I have no immediate family. When I'm gone NOBODY will miss me. I'm already forgotten in the world. People don't even pay attention to me. I've given myself a private nickname because of it. The only time anybody is concerned about me is when the rent is due and if I am at the jobs that I have. Otherwise I am invisible to the world. I am less than special. I am forgotten. Maybe my spiritual path is brighter than I previously thought.
@@avil8686 What suggestions do you have for me to take advantage of my situation? If I had the money to retire, I'd live in a small trailer and be a snowbird alone in wilderness locations and occasionally visiting a warm beach.
Why would one be remembered? What has to be remembered? Is it the ego or is it your essence? Wouldn't it be better to lament the future or the past, merge with the present and simply give without expecting to receive? I am not remembered either and the truth does not bother me, nor do I need it. I just need to have energy to simply live, without conditions or expectations, and with the slightest ideas conditioned and preconceived by what others say about what is right and what is wrong. The true thing is inside me, what happens out there just happens, like a theater, I don't get attached to it. No matter how good it is theoretically, I don't think it will give me joy and peace.
This seems overly simplistic. People are selfish animals at their core and like it or not, occasionally you need fear to keep the unenlightened in line to prevent a greater problem from happening further down the line.
Taoism is also a danger.. keep a balance .. should have rules, should have weapons, should have control other wise it goes to chaos.. not to be too lenient.. too much of anything is poisonous.. should have a balance in liberty and control
I disagree from Lao Tse. That is very paradoxical. Instead of discussing the concept, you guys should bring that into practicality. On an individual level and starting from a community without any sort of paradigms, that would probably succeed if other virtues join the play. Every truth is a half truth. Therefore, other aspects would enter into accountability if we apply this concept to a large number of people. Freedom is a by-product that should be interspersed with other virtues. Otherwise, it turns into debauchery. It's better total ignorance other than having wisdom on the wrong hands. Or organization in a criminal mind. Freedom must be entangled with boundaries and structure.

Life belongs to life itself.
The tyranny of good weights heavily on the soul.
Thank you.

Interesting conversation bro & sis
How to play the game?
To dissociate, to quit, to take only the sugar?
Be in this world, but not of this world. Be natural.
