The Taoists seek to become like an object being carried down the current of a river. They do this by relaxing their minds and letting go of their intentions, the equivalent of a swimmer who is thrashing around and trying to swim upstream, letting go and being carried away by the current.
Ever felt like life is a constant balancing act? In this episode of 'Down the Rabbit Hole with Rob Woll', Rob takes listeners on an enlightening journey through the philosophy of Taoism. Drawing from Huston Smith’s 'The World’s Religions', Rob explores the origins of Taoism, starting with the legendary Lao Tzu and his seminal work, the Tao Te Ching.
He unpacks the three ways of Tao: ultimate reality, the universe, and human life, and explains how these concepts are split into three distinct schools of thought: philosophical, vitality cults, and religious Taoism. Through this exploration, listeners learn about the practice of Wu-Wei in philosophical Taoism, the pursuit of immortality in vitality cults, and the significance of rituals in religious Taoism.
Rob also delves into the profound symbolism of Yin and Yang, illustrating how balance is a core principle in Taoist thought. The episode wraps up with a discussion on the timeless wisdom found in the Tao Te Ching, offering insights that encourage listeners to find harmony in their own lives. Whether you're new to Taoism or looking to deepen your understanding, this episode is a treasure trove of ancient wisdom and practical advice.
