#Daoism #Laozi #EasternPhilosophy
Daoism, originating from ancient China, embodies the profound philosophy of living in harmony with the Dao, or the way of nature. While its historical origins are uncertain, texts like the Dao De Jing and the Zhuangzi convey its core principles, emphasizing spontaneity, humility, and aligning with the natural flow of existence.
Nice Video. I really appreciated it. Thanks!

Unless someone can tell me exactly what Daoism is then it’s nothing
Terrible video of explaining Taoism. Very weak .
Tao = hidden unity within the diversity of Nature
Polarity = Reversal
Every arrival is a new point of departure.
The Rhythm of Life is a movement and a rest.
Optimums are inherently pleasant (Heaven). Extremes are inherently painful (hell).
One who knows when to stop is forever safe:
Inner/Outer
More/Less
Better/Worse
Yes/No
Psyche:
Mind = Inspiration
Heart = Aspiration
Will = Volition
Integration = Integrity = Soul
To actualize potential:
Dream it, feel it, do it.
The abstract (Heaven) called Love can be expressed concretely (Earth) as a smile, hug, etc, thereby uniting Heaven and Earth.
Do I know how to be a Dell? Yeah, f**** no, it's something to lock something and place. That is a DOW. It's a sacred gal. Should I do know how to freaking plow
The word "irregardless" does not exist. It is a conflation of two legitimate words, regardless and irrespective.
Thank you!
Good introduction!
Minor correction: according to Lao Zi's Lore, he was leaving the castle, not the country. His destination was the country side or a remote mountain.
very tempting indeed
"The truth is that you cannot classify the truth, that's is the truth" Good lord warring states sure do break the minds of men.
As to Tao I would go with him being a real person. If it was written by many authors there would be many distinct styles.
is there a Dao Messiah?
Another fact, in Japanese you get words like Ju-do, Ken-do. Which are martial arts. “Do” is their prounouciation of the character “道”.
Judo = The way of wrestle
Kendo = The way of sword
There are many other examples. Just shows how much influence Chinese has on Japanese
WITNESS LEEISM ALMOST SIMILAR TO DAOISM……..WITNESS LEE IN ANAHEIM CALIFORNIA U S A IS PROTESTAN MOVEMENT GLOBALY CALL HIMSELF LOCAL CHURCH AKA LORD RECOVERY.
You could not imagine a country like China, with such a great photographer existed 2500 years ago, would have such quality of people nowadays ……… little pink reds….
Your discussions is more helpful than all the books that I read about “Lao – Tze”
Not useful…. Communism is a type or Dao? 🤦🏻♀️
Daoism is a way to view and interprete life
TYPICAL FOR ALL EASTERN THEOLOGY, LIKE DAOISM, BUDDHISM, HINDUISM, IS THE NEGATION OF THE HUMAN RATIONAL SOUL AND THE INTERNAL UNITY OF ONTOLOGY AND TELEOLOGY. HUMANITY IS THE TELOS OF NATURE AND CIVILISATION PROCEEDS ACCORDING TO REASON AND DIVINE PROVIDENCE. THIS MEANS THAT HUMANS MUST NOT RETURN TO SILENCE AND NATURE, BUT MUST CONTROL NATURE BY TECHNOLOGY. DEUS VOLT.
