I’ve watched the dude a few times, and I’m still not sure what to think of him. I prefer Damo Mitchell because he acknowledges the esoteric and spiritual aspect of Taoism , yet stays grounded in practice, and ethical living without getting to caught up in the religious, esoteric, or ritualistic aspects. If their was a Taoist temple near me I myself would probably attend ceremonies, and sermons but since I live in a small town in southwest Colorado it is just my Taoist, and Buddhist books, and practice. Damo Mitchell’s books have been a wealth of knowledge, and I follow his Nei Gong, and Nei Dan practices. When finances get better I will definitely join his school. ☯️☸️
I have such mixed opinions about Michael Saso's work because it's incredibly detailed and scholarly but he comes to some crazy conclusions with that research. He wrote a book on the rainbow body and was like "Tibetan Dzogchen was significantly influenced by Christian Mysticism because we found Chinese Christian manuscripts in the Dunhuang cave" 🥴Like alright dude
This dude seems dodgy, and manic. I don’t trust him, nor his experiences. I definitely wouldn’t buy his books nor attend any lectures, or schools he taught. He’s an interesting listen though, and no disrespect intended. 😮
Yay! Very much looking forward to this! Thank you!
Da Best from Chicago!
fascinating stuff, thank you both.

A conversation between Matthias and Damo Mitchell might be very interesting.
Good to see Steve back on the boat.
Sometime when you least look for spiritual experiences and revelations is when they arrive. Fascinating interview once again.
I'm happy, I dig his vibes
Very interesting!
Interesting indeed...

But if I reincarnate I haven't taken another body I've just lost myself and became a different person

No "disrespect" after your declared 'opinion'???
