Wow, I love your comment and endorsement of my film my friend. I appreciate your kind words.

I am stunned by your documentary. 🙏🏻 I changed my eating habits drastically - vegetarian, my intuition “told” me so. Lately, I felt I should stop drinking coffee - so I did. I quit smoking in Summer 2020, chose self isolation in Nov 2019 after a burnout. This coincided with a spiritual awakening. My mind is quite tranquil now, while in the past I was constantly thinking. I deeply reflected upon my traumata via accessing my unconscious. The shadow realm is quite intense, but it enabled the cure of my inner child. There is nothing more exciting to see the world through the eyes of the inner child. I have been watching both your documentaries and they are proof that my natural intuition is somehow Taoism pure without even having a deep knowledge of it. Somehow I put puzzle pieces from psychology, neuroscience, spirituality, history, etymology, medicine et al. together on my own, usually little pieces were sufficient to get a big picture view. I also experienced the artist experience of creating something without thinking about it (acrylic painting) - I trusted my flow, the process... funnily I cannot even visualize (aphantasia), which makes meditation even more exciting, because I am receiving clearly electromagnetic radiation in all chakra colours in front of my third eye. Since I cannot visualize this is proof to me that there is more in our universe than science can explain. Big thanks to you! I see your videos as a confirmation that I am on the right path ☺️, and that I do not have to investigate further. That drive has been gone a few weeks ago... now I am focusing on feeling.

From the bottom of my heart: this is probably the most important thing, most impactful lecture, most precious gift I had the chance to receive. These two videos are masterfully crafted, I will honour the effort you put into this by sharing it with my friends and family and by trying to live accordingly. Thank you, my friend! This has reached me exactly at the right time as over the last decade I have been kind of a manic chi-siphon, whilst my own inner fire devoured me and left me exhausted. And I surely am not alone with this! Fasting the mind, cultivating yin, yessir! Then let this have been the end of my mindless binging through this vast limbo of distraction and embrace silence and trust. 💙💎

I am grateful for the fact that just discovered your channel through The Art of Effortless Living two days ago. And yes, it was the perfect timing as how the law of attraction usually works. I listened this video in this morning, what a great way to start a day! Listening your contents is joyful way to be in the moment especially when my mind is agitated. (: Also checked your website, judging by the quality of your videos I bet your books are as remarkable. As a person born and grew up in far East I was not interested in Eastern philosophy for the first three decades of my life. But I found myself always captivated by the words from those who originally western born but obtained depth of both western and eastern philosophy/spirituality. To me their way of speeches are so effective, easier to digest and apply than those speakers/writers that are eastern born even though I don't doubt the eastern born also have good depth on both side of philosophies. I guess you are one of those exceptionally people have such depth in both way and know how to explain well. Your contents are as listenable as Alan Watts' speech videos. I didn't expect to hear such words in Australian accent which is amusing and refreshing. :D

Also it is an honor to be in the same conversation as Alan Watts, he was a great influence on my work. As for my accent, I think you are the only person who has commented in a favorable manner. A lot of people don't like it which is odd considering its just an accent. But I appreciate your humble gratiude my friend and I am planning to create a lot more just like this video.

Thank you! And also thank you to every other viewer! If you're into this kind of subject matter you have a dope spirit and an enlightened mind that hasn't been completely polluted

Thank you Jason . Great video again. I do like the way you evoke the balance, in form of a "dance " between yang and the ying. I agree that it is not always easy to let go of the "doing" and invite and have the confidence to give room to the ying to take over.

This is one of the best essays on Taoism for the modern generation. It's simple to follow and when applied to one's external lives, can offer many solutions to grow in harmony with nature's spontaneous unfolding. Why live in any orher way? Thanks again Jason!

Everything become much more fun with spontanity. Often you think things to say or do but something stops you. Like a bad filter. Thoughts and speech happens automatically. It doesnt always become much more better after analyzing it. For me it becomes worse. They are perfect for start. People like people who is genuine and speaks and do from heart. If not spontanous I feel I live unfullfilling. Spontanous but not impulsive. The best decisions happens in fractions of seconds and the reaction is often perfect. Like taking away your hand from the owen. Addicted to thinking we all humans became with advanced development of our complex brain. When talking I dont hesitate if it come up to my mind. Thats a great way to make conversations interesting, energetic, genuin and flowing without starting wonder what to say.

Thank you Jason for sharing your wu-wei in it's well composed vlog. An ancient wisdom that resonates the art of pure being-ness releases all the old nonsense on our conscience, an ineffective paradigm that no longer is necessary or useless in this magic called breath. In Hawaiian, the breath is referred to as Ha, also know as the spirit. Aloha always, Bliss T.

When you delete the objective of the ego to be greater than the drive that fuels it ( emotions). THINGS COME TO YOU. And sometimes through other people PURELY by chance. All you have to do is show up. This has been my greatest breakthrough to understanding why the things I want hasn’t been in my favor. Because the ego was greater than the drive its self... I was going in circles. Trusting intuition is ALWAYS greater than trusting the ego for quantum reasons beyond our current understanding.

I watched both. Great understanding and expression. It really changed my way of thinking. Since I had suffered Anxiety attacks in past , I could find the explanation in the documentaries. It reminded me the concept of ardhnariswara ie. half male - half female an avatara of Shiva,which is nothing but a balance of ying and yang....So much similarity in both the philosophies but neither chinese are following Tao nor Indians are following Yoga in true sense..
