Good to see an authentic Chinese interpretation of Tao as opposed to a western New Age one.

The unchanging part of us is like the blank screen in a movie theater-----images are projected upon it, but the screen remains unchanged. We call it awareness.

Taoism has always been fascinating to me. I've never looked at it as a religion - more along the lines of a perspective or perspectives we see(or do not see). Learning about the tao gives one the awareness of multiple ways. There are many ways, but which way is THE way? One person's way is not another person's way(given that they are healthy of mind), but that does not mean another person's way is not the way. In my personal experience, I think balance is most important even though I am not balanced. I see myself as a game of pong, going from one end to the other, but rather than trying to "win" the game, I try to balance the shift of the pong ball from each side. I am happy to say that I do not know. The older I get, the more I realize I know, that I do not know. Meaning - I don't know, but in my not-knowing, I discover my knowing, which in turn tells me that I do not know, but at least I know that I do not know. I'm pretty sure that is my way, but I don't know. Ha!

Dissonance and Assonance are Voices That Speak of Agreement.

Derek Lin is a brilliant guest, speaker and writer. i can see why CJ Liu has only 14K subscribers.

wow, excellent interview and info. I've seen myself have tidbits of watching nature and learning to apply it to our human life so Mr. Lin's observations hit right where i've been wanting to go. Thank you!

On Giving and Receiving on Principle We have seen this as the Prime Benefice of a Well Balanced Inner Cultivation.

I see Tao (you and I and all!) Delivering us to all we need. Questions are mostly self competitive. Meaning,- 'Your questions are your own. Only you have the answeres to your questions. Afterall, they re y o u r questions. Meaning,- Ask yourself why your asking the question. 'I cannot answer your question.' 'Why not?' 'Because it is your question and unless I answer it the way you want me to, I ll be wrong.' So, there are personal (competitive) questions and there are life s (cooperative) questions.

Great video I've just started listen to the great wisdom of the Tao.... this video really helped.... thank U

Sounds like the most logical believe system to me

thank you for this show, I appreciated

ha that was nicely unexpected seeing Derek love & contentment xxxx

Tao indeed. I am the Tao. The Tao is me. All around me, I see!,- the Tao. See? The duality within the Tao is the variable vibration of left and right. All identical in energy being, Variable in vibration, differnet I m seeing. All levels of experience, are the variable vibrations. A tree said to me- I am you, and you are me!Exalt me not! , for I too disease, resist and break in the wind.Up root rocks that kill as they roll.I need you and you need me.We are in this together.No one is allowed to be! , more equal than another!See?

I really like the metaphor of the world being, "the gym of life".

👍 Just found your channel. This was so refreshing to listen to. You both have wonderful voices. I enjoyed you sharing your knowledge / understanding / perspective. I'll checkout your other videos. 🤗

J. Terran Taoism explained- 8 Eliments; Left hand/ 4 Auras located on each (Square part) of each finger just above the palm. (Negative side). Right hand/ 4 Auras located in the same place. (Positive charge). NOT to be confused with the (Aura) on your Skin v.s. (Auras) on Certain parts of the Human body. Auras- Forehead, both cheeks, NOT around the mouth. Auras- Bottom of feet (NOT on the balls of the feet). Auras- located in the (Crotch area) Only known, Never seen out of RESPECT. All Terrans UNDERSTAND this I am J.Terran the only Terran to be born on Eden. Thank you for sharing your video.

thank you soooo much for clarity I myself am into the philosophy of the TAO to me you 2 are fingers pointing away to the moon thank you ! may IT be well with you !

the Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao.

Manifesting from the couch!!! So true 🤣

Good show. Thanks.

A wise fellow. A good Interview. Many thanks.

Thank you for information

The fu xi character sounds just like Odin; god of the hunt, god of the weather; etc. Odin is also like a shaman or oracle; Odin also carved runes onto tree bark etc. this sounds a lot like Odin!

Awesome!

I see life (Tao, God, spirit,.) guiding me in all that I am meant to do at the time and manner meant to be done. There are no mistakes to be corrected, no wrongs to be righted. Only experiential expansion observed. I am life, and as life am,- Bad/good, wrong/right, fear/courage, hate/love, off/on, left/right,. I am duality balanced via its singularity. The binding energy. As I see bad, I see just as much good. The two halves of duality balance in harmony, the labels fall away and I am with full presence to respond cooperatively and not a partial presnce to only react competitively.

Yes, much appreciated. For a semi young westerner as myself. These are the the only outlets of different cultures I really have. There is no teaching of taoism from where I'm from. Missouri. Sad really how most people spend their reality thinking they are not what they really are. I suggest Alan watts as a second way to learn.... On yes sorry lol thank you for the creation and upload of thus video. (:

Is there a particular Daoist view of astrology 6? How about the idea of primordial CHAOS 6? it is the same as the Greek conceptualization ?6

What’s interesting to me is why the big question for many is “who am I .” Rather than “what am I?” ..

Thank's for sharing...

If one would just absorb themselves in this knowledge, without a motive. I honestly feel one would comprehend this experience much more.

Does the description of creation in tao sound like the Fibonacci sequence? Or just me🤔

Collective Daoist conduct has a snowball effect of goodness and freedom.

Atheist learning Taoism. About hating Trump; He is correct about needing more information. In this case you know things that are just not true. Good interview.

I see Tao to be guiding me from and to my compatibility. It s quite nice really. I don t have to 'do' anything. When someone wants to 'explain' what they believe the reasons to be, as to why we cannot resume our contact, I merely state,- Universal lifesource energy guiding you and I away from we. Not your fault nor mine. Instead of pointing a finger and saying You or I, I consider saying 'we', and it works! Works fine. The reasons are lifes. Your explanations are your own, and are of no consequence to we.

Tao/Zen repulsion/attraction energy,- This guides all lifes things/beings from/to their compatibility in part/whole. Meaning,- An action in response within an interaction is herein defined and set forth (What you ll, or a plant -flower closing/opening to sunlight and so on) do in response to whatever is going on around you; intervene, call for help, retreat etc). So, there is no 'passivity' in the sense of just 'accepting whatever happens'. For this is resistance, and the lowest efficiency of Tao/Zen.

My captions heard chapter 42 of the DallasGene. What did he really say?

How is that a zero or void gives rise to everything? From the expeience of existing material and some known non material things,it can be difficult to create something from nothing.

All that you do, is via the love of you (God). , and me! , too! All we do is what s meant to be done (God, Tao, Universe, All one, Spirit). Therefore, We don t have to beat ourselves up over whatever is done/happens. We re not bad/wrong. We merely see how 'not' to do it for the next time. We re then capable of simply accepting ourselves, and therefore all others. we re more alert/present to respond to the consequences/ramifications/repercussions and so on. No?

'The Tao cannot be talked about, but I m going to talk about it..' The Tao C A N be talked about ! ! ! Talking is communication, is vibration, is information sharing, is expansion ,. Just as the sun 'talks' to a plant via its sunlight. I see the universe in e v e r y t h i n g ! I look at a rock, see into it, past all the star systems, , see our earth and me! Looking at what I am seeing. Before I kick that rock, I see intent and sincerity. See?

All one interconnected and shared ,. At the end of the moment, end of the day etc, what do we 'do' with this information to make our lives better? Hmmm? A H ! H m m m !

Life is a classroom...

Its a nice idea, but some of the concepts are difficult for a western man to wrap his mind around. I keep trying...unless I sprain the brain. ; )

This Kevin Kostner Dancing

Decide? Choose? I don t. Life (Tao, God, spirit ,.) does this for me. However, in that I am life, as life I participate in the choice (which is life tasking me -intent-) I don t own it. Like a waiting room number. It is assigned to me. I may not even like the number. When the task is complete, the number is discarded. Passivity? Quite the contrary. This allows me the highest quality of efficiency, within my ability to do all I am guided in doing. True/authentic interests are revealed/realized. All that I am guided in doing I S what I want, desire, need, hope and wish for. THATS manifestation!!!

Thich Nhat Hanh s 'Mindfulness' is probably the best, other spiritual reference, as how to 'see' the Tao. To see how all life is the Tao. To see how 'God' is the Tao and so on. To see how all life tasks all life with intent. To see how all that happens is not wrong/bad, it s just life. We re to repel/attract from/to it within our intent (interacting, assisting, allowing others to do it,.). We don t 'do' anything. Life has us do what we do, when meant to be done. A way to test this, is to try and sit on the couch and do nothing. Life (Tao) has you, and will have you doing something other than what you'think/want' (eye blinking, heart beating, answering the phone, breathing ,.).

This sounds like a very American take on Taoism. I'm guessing a Tao of sadness won't shift as many units?

What I wrote below, about not having to 'do' anything, I notice that all that I do cannot be done at any time, other than the time I a c t u a l l y do what I do. I should know. I ve tried. It cannot be done. , A N D, as I m doing what I m doing, There s no time to delay it and there s all the time in the world to do it. So, there is no,- 'I should ve done it before/why did nt I do that before/ If only you could have done it,.' Why? Because it s not possible! Don t have to worry about all the wondering and and and.

Wish taoism would become more common in the world in general. Not only in China it´s place of origin.

I especially like the Tao making all my decisions/choices for me. All I have to 'do' is watch as I begin doing e x a c t l y as I m meant to do, at the time/manner meant to be done. It can be quite entertaining at times. I am quite relieved as I don t have to forget/remember. All this is done for me. It s not 'passivity' in any sense. Quite the contrary.

There is no sense attached to humiliating or degrading

I love Taoism. I am very interested in Chinese teachings, not Western. I prefer philosophical Taoism instead of religious Taoism.

There is no " Taoism" as such. Lao tse. Gave a "basic" description, while warning that the Tao can not be described. But...trough the centuries, There Taoists schools, that focused on " living for ever in this life, true magic, potions etc. Very interesting....But as "Zen", the word Tao is being used to sell books on the most ridiculous topics.The Tao of making money..The Tao of seducing chicks, etc,etc.

Is Taoism like Atheism

Stop watching once they talked about being on the offense using bombing on Paris as example. What media says is not always the truth. How does Tao deals with assumptions?

The Religions and Spirituality's like The Dharmic ones being Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism, and Jainism along with other ones not tied to the Dharmic family like Taoism/Daoism, Shintoism, and Confushism do not seem to be as pro to blood shed and war as Abrahamic Religions and Spirituality's like Judaism, Christianity, and Islam or seperate from Abrahamic Paganism, Wiccanism, Satanism, Zorastrianism, Voodooism, Animism Shamanism, Witchcraft, and other religious forms but Abrahamic being the one preached for the most vile due to the scriptures from The Torah's, Bibles, and Quran's and more books.

Soooo, you post; What is Taoism? Yet, you begin verbally saying "Daoism" ? Humm? This is an Inconsistency as in a court of law suggesting something here is wrong/Fallacy. Anyway, go ahead and promote his book.

look at the nature then you see where dao is!

Too much room here for crap on a stick. I would rather keep things simple. Very simple.

20:11 maybe our dna is the re incarnation. Our children whill carry our dna info to the future

daoist meditation,come from china

Tough to listen to, Liu keeps interrupting him and can't stop laughing at everything he says. Makes it unlistenable.

Tao, the Reality of the primary quantum particle, Singularity, has two qualities. As Tao, Reality, issues forth out of the darkness at the Event Horizon, the two qualities although being of the same source, Identical, are distinct one from the other are given two names. The Duality of the primary particle, Singularity, the two, being numerical in nature, the numbers being 0\1. The Primary Particle of Zero-0 is Infinitely Finite, Indivisible, can not be spoken of, given a Name, has no relative value, no numerical value, is motionless, has no angular momentum, no velocity of speed and direction, is not measurable as to location and momentum in Space-Time, has no Mass. The Singularity of One-1 the mother of the myriad creatures is the first Singularity of Zero-0 to become relative as a Singularity of One-1 as the Reality of First Cause; First Cause being an affect. As a result of a bump in the Night, darkness, First Cause being the first in a series of events, became the mother of all Living Things (living things defined as being the Reality of Everything that exists in the material sense of the Word), the direct cause of a series of events known as “cause and effect.” The Reality of First Cause being the direct cause of a system of chaos that made manifest the Material Reality of the Heavens and the Earth, the Universe, the Reality of Everything that exists in the Physical sense of the word. These two, dual, qualities of the primary quantum particle, Singularity made One-1is the gateway to the manifest secrets of the Universe.

Bodhi

It's NOT A ANYTHING MORE LESS RELIGION. 30 SECONDS IN ALREADY PUSHING RELIGION!! UGH! HORRIBLE.

you can make a list of people "triggered" by Donald Trump? Then you are no better than the people you accuse of being racist. I decided to watch this video to learn about Taoism..............not to listen to your personal views about Donald Trump

Irritating giggling.

what you did about the bully in the playground and the kids standing up to him that bully sounds more like Donald trump not the terrorists

Good show. Thanks.
