My favorite variation on this theme is "Buying crap you don't need, with money you don't have, to impress people you don't like." Basically, America in a nutshell.

😳

What about things you really need, but don't have the money for? How to trust it will be provided without you "forcing"?

What you resist, persists, even festers like a wound.

That is excellent insight. That is exactly how it is.

That is so beautiful, I love you.

@@christianmiller526 Thank you! Sending love back to ya too. 💖😊

The problem usually is your social circle. I believe sexuality is promoted too much and it creates these feelings. I like both and it's definitely an issue of losing people in your social circle who feel you're 'this or that.' Im happy for your freedom!

​@@PrimeGalvatron Thank you! You really made great points and now it all makes sense. Sending light and love. ❤

even if those desires are to kill ?

​@@davidgarcia-rv3fs No, of course not. We should never harm anyone, regardless of our desires.

"strongly encourage embracing our natural desires" what if such desire is to kill?

@@davidgarcia-rv3fs "never harm anyone, regardless of our desires" also please don't use a washer to wash a pet or a microwave to dry it

@@SearchOfSelf too late the pet has been dried.

Ok. If that works for you then

Yes. Very easily a spiritual path can become dogmatic and fundamental when seen through the eyes of the misunderstanding ego.

Struggled with this my whole life. I began to view the laws as dogma of man. God would only allow what he wants, which is a certain level of deviation.

Haha, yes, I noticed that too. I'm not sure what went wrong there. Anyway, I hope you could hear it and enjoy it nevertheless.

The sudden interruption of Matthew McConaughey made my dog jump 😂 Absolutely, another perfectly timed topic for me personally. Thank you for sharing.

Not at all, my friend. You need to understand the Jiva in relation to the Ultimate Reality and why karma is not a system based on a Jiva's conditioned morality. It is much more intricate than your explanation. If you want to know more then I suggest watching this video on the basic tenets of karma kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m85-nqp737nPn2g.html and also this video on why karma is a natural based system that is not governed by manmade moral systems kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a9t6gKabtZaRmH0.html I could explain a lot more, but everything is in those two videos. We will likely do a podcast soon on what karma is and the myths that have been created about it since it left the shores of Asia. Enjoy, my friend.

@@JasonGregoryAuthor thank I will watch after work. Can I ask you one thing now, is there a Taoist perspective on Karma? Any videos or books or thoughts?

Hey there brother. I would say pick up a copy of the Hua Hu Ching. Also, I have a video related to it kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y7uUbJqVubG3lYk.html

@@JasonGregoryAuthor thank you!

@mark twain hey, like now if we don't take out health seriously we could die from simple things, that wasn't the case a long time ago, and why is that? Because now we are bombarded with toxins from every side, air, food, water, clothes, frequency, emotions, I mean every way possible just to weaken us and make us easy to control.

Also when religions such as Christianity and Islam say we’re “born sinners” I don’t think it’s with the intention of making their respected followers feel guilty. Again I guess it’s about how u interpret things but how I see it, saying we’re “born sinners” is in fact said with the exact opposite intentions. I think telling people that we’re born sinners in inclines that were not born perfect and we’re gonna make mistakes. But As long as you repent for your mistakes( which again how I see it is just showing guilt for your wrong doing) then those mistakes will me forgiven.

@@mishcievousb4938 geez you got triggered by this video. I'm not sure why you are so defensive? Original sin embeds guilt in the followers. That is a fact that you will need to accept to understand the damage of that type of misguided worldview. Your belief still assumes that humans are animals at birth. Daoism understands that we are good from birth and culture warps us. Did you not listen to the video?

@@harrygreen3277 .... we ARE animals... that is technically what we are.. i mean.. are we a plant? A mineral? No. We are an animal, a living, breathing, moving animal. Animals are not bad...

@@harrygreen3277 Nah not triggered neither am I being defensive Harry . First of all I would like to add that despite being born into Catholicism and growing up around many Christians and Muslims I wouldn’t claim them to be MY beliefs as I no longer claim Catholicism as my religion or belief system. Secondly I have been subscribed to Jason’s channel for about nearly 2 years and within this time I have taken great interested in the great eastern traditions consuming various different related content with especially Doaism being my one favourite philosophies and one I try and Implement in my daily life. If you read my comment my point was that I don’t believe the western religions necessarily demonise the act of sex. In fact these religions are very aware how important sex hence rather they are strongly against promiscuity which Jason also mentioned is not good spirituality and a problem in western society especially. I was merely making the point that the demonisation of sex it self was an inaccurate interpretation of teachings within the scriptures(wether it be the Torah, Bible or Qur’an) by people who follow them. I then added MY interpretation of what being “born a sinner means” in said scriptures and stated that I do not believe the intention was to make people feel guilty rather to remind people that we are not born perfect and we are going to make mistakes and the guilt again was feeling invoked by an interpretation. A “sin” is just another word for a mistake or wrong doing. How does being born imperfect connote to being born an animal? And to answer you question yes, I did watch the whole video. All I’m doing is offering a different perfect perspective to the what Jason was saying. I actually agree with most of the points he made in this video. Tbh, your reply to my comment is coming across as quite triggered and defensive but there’s no need to be.Please do not confuse me adding a different perspective to the video and the points made as me being ‘triggered’ in some way. I’m merely just adding to the points and offering my perspective/opinions in a respectful and informative way I wish you the best Harry🙏🏽

I believe you meant to say, western religions don’t necessarily demonize heterosexuality.

Say that again?

A nun monk I once met said she feels its natural and that people can engage in it, but for her.. she finds it quite a contracted experience and the pleasure seemingly comes and goes. So she's almost forgotten about sex, Quite a lot of aspirants naturally turn away from it after a while, I've heard that also happening. Just the love and bliss of 'god' is more than enough and is ever expanding and of course never says no lol
