Taoist Wisdom For Inner Peace

Thank you

I'll be sure to let my kids know that I'm just being a useless dad because it's less stressful for me.

Not knowing is a knowing itself.

It's like doing what you are supposed to do whole heartedly and not thinking about the result. Well I think such a gifted content maker as you are, you should also discuss about the philosophy of the Bhagavad Gita. Lots of love and support from India.

Thank you❤

Your channel is amazing

Don't let me grind my teeth
You did something now.

STOP taking yourself TOO seriously!
Never hold on to ANYTHING too tightly and be grateful for what you have!! "Flow," never FORCE!👊😊

I really love the wisdom of Tao. Thank you so much for this video.

This video is life changing

What a great voice

Why no german sub ?

thanks for sharing this

It's not perfect, but the way you make philosophy so accessible is amazing and to be commended.

Love the discussion about being useless. I'm an over achiever, I know it sounds conceited, but I'm actually very "gifted." I have many skills that other people would love to take advantage of. I don't want to be completely useless of course, but I love the idea that it's fine to be useless and being useless might even save us from a lot of grief. In the past few months I've accomplished very little in terms of big, exciting things, but the battles that I'm fighting in my inner world and the progress that I've made in terms of seeing the root cause of my unhappiness, these things can't be seen or measured, no one is giving me an award and many people might think I'm wasting my time being useless. I think being useless and boring, working on my inner world and past trauma for the last few months might be the difference between me dying young or living a long fulfilled life. The world doesn't give us awards for taking time to rest and heal, but I hope we can build a perspective that sees the good in being useless and living simply.

Peaceful

Maaaaaaan this is really what I needed in this life of non stop hustle.

It's sad to see religious intolerance in some comments, however subtle some of it may be. If I understand correctly, Taoist philosophy neither favours nor is against organised religion, right? You're free to have a religion or not have a religion. Is Taoism intolerant of the beliefs of others? Is that what some of the followers of this channel would like me and others to believe?

I love the story of the crooked tree. I started understanding this to mean be lazy or act disinterested but now I envision in my meditative mind what you said…those with gifted or special talents are often exploited. Then I look inside at my sacred self and imagine all of my own, unique gifts and would I want those exploited? The answer is a resounding no.

Thanks!

Excellent channel brother!!

very helpful

Bullshit taosimn

Be still and flow!

Amazing video

Nailed it again. Thanks man.

Great video! Would you agree then that Taoism has a lot in common with Stoicism? As someone who is trying to control my anxiety, I have had a long interest in both.

It sounds nice in a lyrical way but at the end it has very less to do with the real life

Been feeling down lately, stopped working out, stopped practicing my martial arts, eating like shit and my mental health is taking a hit. I come back to these videos about the Tao to help me back on track. Starting over again today.

I have nothing further to add.

Been chilling 3 years.
. Now im freezing

Great video. Great lesson. Great channel. Great host. Just great. Thank you…

Don't strive for anything, be soft and useless, go with the flow.
I've been following this great Taoist philosophy my whole life!

If you want peace, stop fighting.

That last point really hit

Thank you

Brilliant video, I love the bit about the useless tree, so good.

Thank you.I try to practice this. I have been telling my children this for years.

Inner peace is impossible without spiritual adjustment. Its not possible to have peace without the supposed prince of peace, and a fruit of the Holy Spirit, Peace. The Holy Spirit is God. The support we need doesnt come from mental comfort, it comes from being in Spirit and connecting to The Spirit. We cannot be connected to a Spirit without acknowledging God. Smoking weed can give peace, or the aftermath of sex, but things things fade as quick as they came. To change emotions and become new people and react differently we need to acknowledge The Holy Spirit and be completely guided by Jesus Christ teaching.

Tao and taoo

thank you :)

Love it.

Thank you so much

To be or not to be?
- That is the question. 💀
