By returning to the source texts of the Tao Te Ching and the writings of Chuang-tzu, he offers wisdom to liberate us from the suffering inherent in a materialistic culture and reconnect us with our unfiltered true nature.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\nSince the time of Lao-tzu and Chuang-tzu, we have navigated a world detached from the Tao. This detachment continues to expand due to external forces and information saturation. In contrast to Confucianism, which offers social morality, Taoism is essentially a worldview shaped by nature—a spiritual practice for releasing ourselves from imposed socialization and reactions of the ego.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\nJason Gregory shows that imposed socialization can impede the spontaneous flow that is central to the Taoist path—your true nature as it is with no filters. He explains that what we see is not reality itself but a world according to our conditioning. Taoism seeks to reunite us with our undifferentiated nature, dissolving the binary limitation of reason in our mind and achieving \u003ci\u003exiaoyao you\u003c\/i\u003e, “free and easy wandering.” This book shows the way to become what Taoists call a \u003ci\u003ezhenren\u003c\/i\u003e—an authentic genuine person, the ultimate state of being.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46658466218142,"sku":"HPC-9798888502358","price":29.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9798888502358.jpg?v=1774926459","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9798888502358","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
