Alan Watts - The Tao Philosophy and The Course of Nature

Alan Watts Tao Philosophy and the course of nature. Taoism, ancient Chinese philosophy, original recordings from Alan Watts' speeches, lectures, and seminars. Compilation explaining the Tao and its meaning, the way, the course of nature, Taoism principles, metaphysics by Alan Watts, Philosopher. Teachings and doctrines of Laozi, (Lao Tzu.) Also spelled Dao, Daoism. How to meditate and be in the state of mind of primal ignorance. The happening of the universe. How time works, the past, present, and future. It goes backwards from the past, like the wake of a ship. Everything comes out of the great void, the silence. The way of the functioning of the Tao is of itself so, spontaneous. What is so of itself, meaning coming into being spontaneously on its own accord. That is the World, that is the Tao. Why do we exist? What is the meaning of life? Is there a God? Who looks after God? Tao is a certain kind of order. Li, organic pattern, the water course way. The markings in jade, used in Chinese art, paintings, and drawings. Tao principle of flow, Li is the order of flow. Lao Tzu (Laozi) says that the top position is the most insecure and the basic position is the most powerful. Examples in Judo and Aikido, wrestling martial arts. Some passivity would be useful in Western culture, but also passivity is the root of action. Passivity of the mind and mental silence is very important for mental health and well being. Big explanations have little explanations upon their backs to bite them, and little explanations have lesser explanations and so ad infinitum. Alan Watts quote.
