Exposing the INSANITY of HUMANITY in the Most POLITICALLY INCORRECT Book in the World
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 жов 2024
- The great Taoist sage Zhuangzi critiques the stupidity of humanity like no other sage throughout history. In the Zhuangzi text, he warns us of the potential danger of a world where people are asleep and, as a consequence, have lost their inner spirit. Zhuangzi's final warning is one many Taoists heeded back in the Warring States period of China, when the politically correct hell of a Confucian society was established. But no time more than now in the 21st century, when the very same pattern is repeating itself, does his warning have the most relevance. The question to the entire world is: can we hear the warning and turn back towards the light of Tao?

It's nice when we have nothing to prove and nothing to defend. We're then free.

@TrivedijiGamesexactly. Be outside society, one can exist while still be living with it, but not as part of it.
@@SRSR-pc8ti May I ask, are you living above your means? Not a criticism, but if you are living a ostentatious material/consumerism lifestyle, you might have to "cut back' to live a Taoist lifestyle. For example: I have CHOSEN to forego an iPhone (have a simple flip phone), drive a 20 year old car and live in a modest house. Do you feel you have to "keep up with the Jones's"? Taoism = simple lifestyle
Self judgement is the devil. And the reason that we do judge others, is so that we may then in turn judge ourselves.
We pile up psychological software until it's so large that we think we are it
I'm sure we do is there a factory reset?

There are many youtube channels about taoism and advaita vedanta with some having obviously much more subscribers than you do but every video you bring out Jason in your own unique style is an unmissable and unlimited breath of fresh air for the mind yes this mind of ours who is so often at war with the incongruties of this modern society!So thanks very much for always being there and keep doing what you do with Gayoung ;-)

Absolutely necessary message. Thank you, Jason. Definitely challenging principle to live by but so liberating when one embodies it. Shanti! Shanti! Shanti!
Just got your book “Fasting the Mind” looking forward to listening to it :)))
Listening or reading it?
@@robertholland7558does it matter? Lol
@@JustMe-999a yes it does. Between listening and reading is a huge difference, but it depends on the individual learning process
@@robertholland7558 okay, but why would you care whether someone else is listening or reading? I mean would you feel compelled to know whether someone uses a fork or a spoon to eat their mashed potatoes?
@@JustMe-999a that is one weird comparison, but the experience is completely different.
Reading is far more intense imho. And why not use your fingers to eat the mashed potatoes?
Jason Gregory, Great piece! 🎭 Ty🙏
Clearly articulated and a pleasure to listen to.
Biggest problem with society is that people are lazy to think. How will one see the folly of their life when they do not inquire
I believe what we're talking about is the constant in change. Not having one without the other. Acceptance of the law in all it's complexity in Harmony with simple being. Thanks.😅
I've long held that "I'm right, you're wrong" is the key defect in humans, and we all suffer from it to a greater or lesser degree. But I may be wrong 🙂

Yes we needs to learn to accept our differences.
How boring would it be if everyone was the same?
Really nice again Jason 🙏🏼 Thankyou ❤️
Thanks Jason 🙏 ☯️🙌
Thank you Jason 🙏🏻 Appreciate all your sharing of wisdom
very timely thank you
Thank you so much Jason❤❤❤
… this is another exceptional clip you made!
So true - and now I also see why Confucius is often used in our society as reference … 😉🤓
the truth is singular and solid, anything outside that is wrong
Was reading Krishnamurti's Freedom from the Known this morning (3rd Chapter) and he gives exactly the same message, slightly different angle ..... Shanti Shanti Shanti indeed.
Thanks a great video, appreciate your Dao series.
As society seems to become more and more influential and intrusive in our lives, the more critical it becomes to not let society rob us of our birthright in the Tao...

Nicely said. Especially 'we ARE Dao'. Not many people get that - it's essentially the same concept as Brahman in advaita.
I assume the word 'light' translated here is 'ming' in the Chinese. While still imperfect, it might be less vulnerable to misinterpretation in this context to say 'lucidity'.
This perfectly explains our present time with the Palestinian and Ukrainian tensions.
"..living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all we see.." Strawberry fields forever
Thinking is by far the most destructive disease of all time. As the more you become a slave to it, the more unhappy and confused you eventually become.
Thinking is fine, overthinking is the problem.
@@robertholland7558 As long as the information that you actually think with is of a sufficiently high quality.
uhm no,... not thinking is
@@henkhenkste6076 good point. I did not think to take precautions, why I am dead now……
It occurs to me that Taoism is an early description of fractal geometry and chaos theory.
Are all people good? No. Psychopaths are born that way (1%). Sociopaths are mostly created, but many still have physical traits to make them that way (4-6% of society).
I work two jobs. One of them is to promote home improvement products at home and garden shows and festivals. I stand and watch the crowds pass the booth. Yesterday (a springtime day in Dallas Texas) I saw more of the typical human traffic. So many people have ugly demonic inspired tattoos of skulls, angry faces, and things that could have come from horror movies, on their bodies. These are the things that have infiltrated society in a huge way. They are on almost everybody. What kind of crazy must one have in order to think putting such on one's body forever is a good thing?
Ultimately, living and having full acceptance of everything as it is, is a goal of spiritual freedom. Clearly I'm not there yet with my example of judging others. Yet Lao Tsu left his city because he didn't want to associate with what was happening there. I feel that way now.
Where can one go without plenty of money these days? In the ancient times one could live in a forest if one knew how to find food or farm. There are no places in the western world, especially the USA, where such can be done without interference.
I might become an over the road truck driver and live in the truck; away from the world in my own bubble as it travels through the dregs of humanity bringing them the food that they need. There isn't much nature there, but I would be away from the masses.
You can still break away from society
Just won’t be easy and depends what you’re willing to give up
And beauty’s in the eye the beholder and all that on the tattoos lol
That’s your perception of those “art” pieces
Thank you
@@Dovahkiin0117 What do you think would be necessary to break away from society in 2024 USA?
Face book is the thief of joy.

While I cancelled it,after it cancelled me.
Lived decades without facebook, and will continue to live without it until the day I die. Great learning experience this Facebook, but I don’t need it. Bring me my wine, and motorbike rides.
The quotation mentions not fearing what we should fear. What exactly should we fear according to Zhuangzi?
========================================
How does one in the western world (or anywhere) just allow everything to happen and unfold and still survive? If I just sit or lay on my bed, without working, but still eating, and using the bathroom, I really doubt that somehow money would come to me to pay the rent; or that I would feel the urge to get up and do something that would bring money to me.
In time I would be removed from the living space and forced to be outside. What then? Would there be an unconscious urge to do something to earn money? Would I sit and just wait to die? How did Zhuangzi live his life? How did he survive? Did he have his own business? Was he a craftsman?
Jason, I noticed that your copy of Zhuangzi looks more substantial than the paperback version I have (mine is also the Burton Watson translation). Does the hardcover version have commentary and/or more explanation than the paperback, do you know? Thanks !
Its sad we are still fighting same demons but it seems now that once you slay the dragon there are no more on the horizon.

Are we accepting the world/ Maya that we have reflected from within? That's a different allowing than just accepting what others are projecting as a collective consciousness, which in a sense, may keep you "poor" or "diseased". Create your own Maya, knowing it is Maya and navigate by graciously allowing the connection with the Infinite to paint and color the experiences you have requested. If it doesn't serve your request...don't invest feelings

the goal of all beings was to gain consciousness of their own divinity, and to realise the absolute oneness of God.
Meher Baba's teachings concerned the nature and purpose of life. He described the phenomenal world as illusory, and presented the idea that the Universe is imagination. He taught that God alone exists, and each soul is God passing through imagination in order to realize its own divinity.
Meher Baba
One conciousness that pervades the universe. This one conciousness divided itself into trillions and trillions of pieces to experience itself
I think the word compare is misused here. a compare and contrast essay in English class teaches that comparing things means looking at their similarities. so, Theodore Roosevelt can kick rocks. my two cents.
👍👍🙏
Does this mean that I shouldn't worry about mowing my lawn or weeding my garden?
Be naturally good from birth, not a carved beast.
this mean you answer those question yourself and not relying on something or superior to move you
No it dosent we still have tasks to do ie house work and so on the message is for your own self atman ie abidence in self a spiritual not a physical message basically be as you are , ones natural state of being sahaja let go of what your not ie want need desire ego conditioning expectations still do what you need to do but do it mindfully hope this helps namaste om shanti shanti shanti 🕉 🙏

yes be free let it grow > insects will cultivate > animals will arrive to befriend you
I was the eldest female in family and the scapegoat They were the herd and I COULD NOT follow This gave me feelings and subconscious thoughts that although I don't completely oppose because I can't However I do understand that the way we live NEEDS
to question ITself Sort of like people who are always right which I personally don't respect However life is complex and I just go with it too If things are already this framed I can't take Mt Everest and remove it alone you know? We all have to understand what needs to actually be feared
It is the Tao that created Team fairness to save us from our own ignorance. You cannot silence this. It will deafen you if you try. Listen to me. Team fairness does not surrender. Everyone surrenders to Team Fairness.
