It's about learning how to step out of the way and have this ever-moving, ever-evolving, ever-growing, maturing, expanding. Maybe now we learned it expands in waves, but it is expanding this world that we don't understand.
Have you ever wondered how the concept of emptiness could be the key to your recovery journey? In this episode of the 'Tao of Our Understanding Alcohol Recovery Podcast', the hosts dive into Verse 11 of the Tao Te Ching.
