Why You Need to Trust the Universe | TAOISM
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 16 ก.ย. 2019
- Trust the Universe is the first film in a series based on my Effortless Living audiobook. In this film I explore how and why we should trust the universe from a Taoist perspective. The Tao can only make use of you when you are empty of all that blocks a union between yourself and the universe. The peace that resides in the unity of trust allows the individual to harmonize with the world. This not only brings the light of Tao into the world but also guides and helps the individual along their journey through life. When we trust, the universe answers us through the resonance of our experience. The feeling of oneness brings the individual back into accord with the function of the universe.

It's funny how the universe shows you what you need precisely when you're ready to receive it. Thank you :)
"When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be. When I let go of what I have, I receive what I need." - Tao Te Ching
Well said my friend. Thank you for watching. Enjoy all of the content.
I was thinking exactly the same thing
💗💫🕊🌦🌈🌿🥰💞😍🌳🐚🐬🌍🌌💗
the goal of all beings was to gain consciousness of their own divinity, and to realise the absolute oneness of God.
Meher Baba's teachings concerned the nature and purpose of life. He described the phenomenal world as illusory, and presented the idea that the Universe is imagination. He taught that God alone exists, and each soul is God passing through imagination in order to realize its own divinity.
Meher Baba
Religion is an attempt to intellectualize "God"
Philosophy to intellectualize the universe
Psychology to intellectualize the mind
Trying to control the world?
I see you won't succeed.
The world is a spiritual vessel
And cannot be controlled.
Those who control, fail.
Those who grasp, lose.
Some go forth, some are led,
Some weep, some blow flutes
Some become strong, some superfluous,
Some oppress, some destroyed.
Therefore the Sage,
Casts off extremes,
Casts off excess,
Casts off extravagance.
Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching
The universe is mysterious and beautiful and we are part of it 🙌
✊✊✊ we sure are, all is connected. 🙏🙏🙏🙏 namaskar
You are the alpha and the omega, there is nothing outside of you, you are the universe my friend and it is you.
And so are the cows, fish and other animals we regularly exploit, abuse and kill unnecessarily. We all are part of this ducked up experience: life/death
💯💯
We are not part of it, we are it.
From my perspective I am already one with everything without having to do or realize anything. The universe doesn't give me what I need because I'm not anything separate from the universe. I am just part of what is happening. All there is is what is happening. Life is just a series of unfolding events and patterns repeating themselves. Just like the analogy of the river and this thing called me is just part of the river that is flowing. Nothing has any substance in and of itself.
Oh yes. This is 100% true. I have realize the source energy within me. My mind, body and soul are working in unison. I am now vibrating at love frequency and operating at the level of unity conciousness. True freedom and liberation. Everyday is like a miracle. All event fall into place at the right time and right place. I am also recognising my pyschic abilities. This way of life is our true nature. Thank you love ❤
I've learnt to pay attention to my spirit as its been around longer than my body and mind.
If your ever going through something listen to your spirit in knows who you really are :)
How can I learn how to do this? 🙏
@@msyxtyx (meditation) watch the avatar the last air bender do it, and the legend of korra.
@@koalask9934 😯 Wow! What a coincidence. I just started watching it since it's now on Netflix. Ty for the recommendations 🙏
Yes no problem, pick up the right information and it will all make more sense. You’re welcome and god bless 🙏
Tame Paewai, you've said something very wise and lovely. Thank you xx
I adore Universe
Understanding it
Makes me who i am today
So much blessings
So much confidence
So much contentment
I know its true when you give up control and surrender and vibrate love energy it is beyond logic and the mind.
All of a sudden I have girls talking to me and chasing me and starting conversations with me.
I had the complete opposite view before hand. I thought you had to go after what you want and chase things. But when you reach and chase you are saying that you don't already have it.
Everything you want is already within you. This shit is real I swear to God. If your a skeptic and pessimist just humble yourself and your mind for once and let it be and you will see the power and beauty of what I'm saying
I still think there is room for logic, reasoning, and doing things in a step by step order. But there is a power beyond that that does not have any "logic" behind it
Ive seen people with this vibrational energy before. I saw a guy streaming on an app, he made 100,000 within a year
I could tell he had this God like energy and people will see it in you if you have it
Wow, awesome to read this, thank you.
So dude we just humble ourselves and we’ll have girls chasing after us and possibly make a fortune... just humble ourselves and our minds... thanks a lot man for the wisdom
Lmao I'm trying to live the same way but I still get no girls at all
@@bigsteppa_shrey4384 lol
After reading this I'm gonna go straight out and vibrate my love energy all over town...women will surrender,....oooooo misses!!!!
I have been working my way through the Tao Te Ching again, this time after a long period of having been sucked down into the insane mire that is our time. Today I read chapter 56, and I found again the one counsel of the Tao Te Ching that is *the* most critical for me at this time. This chapter begins with probably the most famous single passage from the Tao Te Ching: "He who knows does not talk. He who talks does not know." What follows is the critical piece: "Close your opening; shut your gates; blunt the sharpness; unravel the knots; soften your glare; settle your dust. So you come to the deep Oneness." I had gotten snagged by some bit of "news" and old habits flared into action/reaction. It takes a lot of trust, like the trust being spoken of in this timely video--like falling backwards in a trust circle--to unplug from "the news," to finally, fully "shut our gates." We have to learn that the world turns without us. It doesn't need saving. We can only save ourselves--why go crazy trying to save a world that whatever extincted the dinosaurs couldn't hurt? Thank you Jason, for this excellent video.🙏
Well said my friend. Thank you.
this is crazy, I was listening to some chill tunes for sleeping and then when I was about to fall asleep this video started to play on the background, the funny thing is the autotune button was off. I guess I have to learn to trust more, thanks for the amazing video
Similar thing happened to me in coming across these videos. Amazing how the universe works!
That's amazing. Don't you love it when those little loving & random "coincidences" happen? 😉🤗❤️
SORRY 4 CAPS THANK U FOR SHARING A PART OF YOUR LIFE
I’ve Been feeling mostly in a state of single pointedness lately. And have been telling myself to trust the process. The synchronicity are showing themselves and I know I am on the right path.
How did you manage this with the chaos of the world these days? I feel like I’m feeling the suffering of everyone.
Makes my depression worse because I can’t help.
I”ll never get tired of listening to this. The truth resonates within me on a high frequency. Thank you 🙏
me too.
i became a buddhist practiocioner some years ago, then my brother read an entire random book about buddhism, throw it to me and said: "there, read it, so you really know what buddhism is about". This is the problem we face in all religions, treat God as a bunch of data to preach to others, but never to experience/ become "it"
Totally agree...👍
No "god' but "IT."
It's been IT for "me" since 1971.
Maybe it was a worthwhile book, lotta good books on this stuff. Plus everyone already is "it", but i get what you mean. I just think its worth pointing out, the way this sentence comes off to me reads a bit strong, or precipitous. For instance when you say the "problem" "we" "face in all religions", this makes it sound like its supposed to be us against religions or something. When really it's not just religious groups that can be ignorant, but its people lacking understanding of themselves on an individual level. And when you say "problem" that makes it sound like something is inherently wrong with this lack of understanding of oneself, when in fact its perfectly natural. We as people, not just Buddhist practitioners, are all responsible for spreading love, and all do the best we can of course. Also when you say this is the problem with all religions, it makes it sound as if the corrupted versions of many religions was always corrupt, when in fact many started out with foundations in deep truth. So the problems not as simple as, religions today just don't get it, I mean, they dont, but they evolved/devolved to that state. What do you think? maybe i'm just reading to much into your words. The comment just felt a bit one-sided, especially for a Buddhist practitioner.
Also came off weird to me how you kinda put your brother down and shed him in the worst light for the comment, I mean if he read a whole book on Buddhism, he probably just wanted to help you, and likely got into it himself a bit. I was trying to take this at face value considering I dont know you or your brother.But all of this seemed a bit to negative/onesided, again especially for someone practicing buddhism. Again maybeee im just overthinking it i'm very curious for your opinion lol.
Agree!
I mean, there is nothing wrong with reading a book to better understand something, it’s just that internalizing the readings and applying them is not easy for everyone. Doesn’t really seem like a problem, it just is.
I like how clearly and simply the concepts are presented. Thanks exactly what I needed right now, return to the trust in the universe, and let go of the need to understand and intellectualize everything...
Although the outward. Rituals of religion touch the beginnings of trust in a higher power or of trust in the universe, sometimes the mantra "God loves us and God helps us or protects us" takes us to a higher trust than the ritual. It helps me sometimes especially now with covid 19. I like your tone and delivery. Also reading the Psalms very slowly and reflecting on the meaning say of 23 and 91 are helpful and tend to fuel the mantra during the day. I mean the above mantra is also a prayer or affirmation . Blessings to all.
Nailed it. We try to make the big small. It’s like putting sea water into a tea cup and calling it the ocean.
I am spiritual, NOT religious. Religion tells me what to pray to, on whom to have faith on, it also tells me I was born a sinner, implies God is imperfect it created imperfect beings, it also tells me what to fear, it violates my God's given gift, my free will, it tries to tell me that God will punish me, he's a vengeful God and will send me to hell to burn in the ever lasting flames of hell. Spirituality, shows me there's no such thing as hell, spirituality opens the door of my heart and tells me go search for my own faith, my own truth, it inspires me to seek for the answers I have within it, it shows me we have a God, an infinite creator that loves unconditionally, it does not punishes or seeks revenge, spirituality shows me I am eternal, I am timeless, I never die I am energy, a fragmented piece, a portion of that which is the God in me....... I AM THAT I AM...
Well said
So true!! Religions should teach a oneness within there’s to much of a focus on external things in Christianity .. but we should have God inside . The direct experience! We shouldn’t intellectualise but feel! Not concepts but feel ! The inner world.
This makes so much sense to me, without not knowing why. Thank you for this video 🙏 peace and love 💚
Simple and powerful. Us humans make things so complicated.
What a timely episode!
During the last days I contemplated your Lao-Tzu vs Confucius video:
Confucius' teachings as an expression of time; following Confucius imprisons me in time and may lead to all sorts of disaster. Vs. Lao-Tzu; shows me the Tao which is Now, completely timeless and eternal.
All that is requested of me is trust.
Today...this.
Jason, thanks again for a wonderful video!
Thank you for your wonderful comment my friend. I'm glad you enjoyed.
Also, thanks for taking the time to make these vids. Much appreciated.
Only In Being Still
This Realization Will Occur.
Follow Your Breath

This is so similar to how alan Watts translated the Tao . I hope a lot of people will be listening to speeches of the Tao .
Alan Watts Discovered Self
Alan Watts is in my mind a great teacher.
Thumbs up just for including Rayden in the video.
I trust this mysterious and beautiful universe we are all apart of. 🤍
Most practical and profound insight yet explained in simple manner. Very important for new age spiritual seekers. Often we are lost in lots of mental & intellectual process and assume that we have all the knowledge . Interestingly often we feel we are all kind , compassionate and we should receive all we seek ( unconsciously we demand rewards for our good work - this may not happen to all but may be in initial stages as we get evolved gradually)
This video helps to understand importance of feelings & space. A complete surrender , let go , end of ego , personality , attachments , desires is a must.
Thanks Jason for sharing this important understanings.
Appreciate you so much. With gratitude to you for your time spent on your contemplation to give the world such insight. This video ignited my insights. Bless you.
Beautiful...Every time I hear a piece of Truth, I get closer, Thank You Jason :)
Thank you for listening and the gratitude Jules.
From birth we distance from unity..to navigate our world...Once seperated the journey back awaits or begins...like a pendulum consciousness moves back and forth... until it learns that it is moving and wishes stillness as free will allows both
Love it all! Gratitude! With love, Jo.xxxxx
This is amazing 💙💜, Its well put 👏👏together
This is so beautiful! Thank you!
Beautiful awakening wisdom . Thank you again Jason
All is full of love
Thank you so much for your videos. They are spot on.
Thank you.....Spread love everywhere you go, Kinhin,
Beautiful Jason 💫💜
Excellent video, Mr. Gregory....much appreciated.
Thank you for watching my friend.
Nameste Jason awesome insight. Definitely resonates with Me because from your explanation, liberation is Experienced Not necessarily understood. One may articulate the Experience but Not the How of the Experience. Thank you!
So beautiful! Thank you 🙏
Loved the background music, thanks
MANN!!!....Your LEAVEL of Research is GOD like.
A good way to put words on the wordless. ;)
This is beautifully put, thank you very much! All my love to all Life 💛☀️🙏🌹🦁🕊️🌈🌊✨
Another excellent video, many thanks for sharing.
Yes, as another said, it is amazing how the universe delivers a much needed message at just the right time.
Following this path towards non attachment, peace, and trust, is so very difficult here in the United Corporations of America, especially if one is poor. The insatiable greed of these corporations push people into homelessness, and criminalize poverty.
This monetarily sovereign nation can create money out of thin air, but won't spend a dime to help feed or house the poor, unless it benefits them, but hands out corporate welfare without hesitation. It's so hard to not be angry about that. I wish people understood how much easier it is to stay peaceful and present when you own your own home, however modest, and can afford enough food (or land to grow one's own) and be able to pay the constantly increasing bills.
Those people often want to live forever, and death will probably be difficult for them.
Me, I yearn for oblivion.
SPEACHLESS 😱🤯😃 BEST VIDEO I HAVE EVER SEEN!!! I cried ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I'm so glad you felt the heart if this video, Grace. Best to you my friend.
Wonderful...... difficult to apply if you live in a Big city but worth trying .... Peace and Love with no explanation
I really enjoyed this. Thank you Jason. Beautifully done.
Thank you dear friend.
I love the way you illustrate.. it's beautiful 😊
Thank you for the compliment my friend. I'm stoked you enjoy my videos.
This is gold.
So good!!! Thank you!
100% truth. I experienced also.
...thank you for this production. It is always wondering me that to clear the states of zen , paradoxly how many logical explanation been used. This show me why is important to keep the mind and logic as a tool , which be needed to get rid of conceptions as such have been used in this nice documentary. Actualy this not the problem of having mind / more is about the challenge to learn to how is the rightway of using the mind !!
how ever I know that is not about what we don t know ( The Lack ), more the things that we think we know. Thanks
Thank you Jason, you are a master ❤❤❤
That is a beautiful video.
We are consciousness, we are one, nibbāna is everywhere outside and inside us. But the dance of light/life continues on the surface and that's what a lot of people keep attaching to.
Great video 😊
I love it my friend. I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
@@JasonGregoryAuthor I uploaded one of your videos on my BitChute channel www.bitchute.com/video/aIbF4nx31Hi4/
I take no credit for it and recommend people follow you and have linked your website in the description.
I hope that's okay, you explain this science better than most people I've come across on YT.
No problem my friend. I'm glad you appreciate my work. Thank you for getting the word out.
Love your channel. Thank you.
Profound realizations!
We are grateful for the vedio on Tao..wisdom.thnx a ton
Thank you so much for your videos ! I enjoyed learning more ... 🙏❤️
Thank you Samantha. I'm glad my videos have found you. Best to you.
Thanks for sharing your link too suscribe. Loving this.

I am thankful for this video. I meditate with it daily!
Thank you for the wonderful quote Gloria. I hope you get a lot out of my video in your meditations.
Dogen and all his work is simply amazing. Maybe you already read it but Shobogenzo is a great read. I was reading Dogen (and still do ) while searching for the truth. After watching the documentary about his life and how he went to China to find an authentic teacher that can transmit the real Dharma to him I was in awe. I find it similar when looking at todays world we don't have many authentic teachers and I was very lucky to find my teacher & teachings at Drukama. You should check it out if you are into spiritual life and teachers like Dogen . Blessings
So good , thank you so much , just what I needed ♥️🙏 big love and gratitude for your Amazing work , so well explained , it reminded me of the power of trust and how it's a path to greater awareness. Thank you 🦋🐛
Anybody see Angkor Wat?? I saw it.. Love for Cambodia, guys!!!
Not yet, but it's been on my bucket list since I was thirteen years old!
This channel is gem ♥️
Thank you my friend.
That would be nice if you also make videos about original taoism which is Taoist Folk Religions.
Daosim became philosophy just in western countries which removed the parts that they didn't like and stick to its philosophy part.
It was always a folk religion since ancient times accompanied with lots of deity worship, rituals etc.
massive - thank you
Many blessings
Very Good......Excellent....
Light attracts light !
i do feel stuck in my head and stubbornness of my limited conditioning keeps me from being free,just this realisation makes it a bit more spacious 😃time to dive within🙏🏻endless blessings to all of you
Sharing this with everyone!! 😇
my peaceful place 🙏🏼
Thank you 🙏🏻 💕
Im super sad and lonely. I cant even cry.
@@yasmine-fe8nu thanks For your concern. I am feeling alot better now.

Jason your videos are top notch thank you for sharing with the world. I have found so much within myself as a result, you’ve really found a presentation that’s extremely appealing and easily palatable (contrary to some other informative videos on the Tao). I do have one question, where did you find your background music? I’m extremely captivated by it! Thank you 🙏
Love the add slap bang in the middle of this. Guess even the Universe is for sale.
Get Ad Block. That will solve your problem. No, the universe is not for sale.
@@lindataylor6831 yes thanks for the advice 🤣
Awesome ♥️
Great video....thank you
Thank you
Thanks!
This was really interesting and powerful. I could have listened to much more of this ❤️
Thank you Jason. 💚🙏
Thank you dearly Scott.
@@JasonGregoryAuthor 😊💚🙏
Good video, I am constantly recommending people read The Tao, and I tell them to get a good translation/illiteration. I've read it probably four times in my life now, it's a lot to chew on. It would be pretty awesome if I could write poetry half as good!
Nice one mate
Awesome work!
Loved it.
Everyone should learn about the Atman.
As you mentioned, all the Saints and Sages taught this one same universal principle of law.
The truth of the Atman is also in the “core” teachings of Jesus Christ
Thank You Jason 🙏 “the big picture and the small picture are one”. I really like what you’re doing and the messages you spread ⭐️,
Thank you Ella. I appreciate it my friend.
🤔
beatiful!
...very...nice...
Thank you for treating me (via Google‘s suggested videos) to another immersive treatment of the essence of Dao. One practical suggestion for future productions: Could you please consider making the backing audio track about 1-2 dB quieter? Sometimes - depending on which piece of music was playing - the backing track somewhat competed with the spoken words for attention. I always appreciate videos in which the backing audio is more „felt“ than consciously registered.
"Why You Need to.."
I do not have to. In most cases I can decide to go this path or the other one.
Nice video.
Amen
Hehe you're such a sweetheart. The universe is indifferent, love. There's nothing to trust; the trick is to let go of worry, because worry is distracting and a big waste of mental faculties. Become your actions when you're doing, and become your thoughts when you're analyzing.
Gloria in Excelsis Deo!
Thank you : )
very true
9:01 with "being" he refers to the Yang principle and with "non-being" to the Yin one. The rest of the passage is talking about the transformations from Yin to Yang and vice-versa. See the bagua and i-ching.
Gracias 🙏
If I may write something: I really liked your videos about Tao. And I started practicing it. extremely synchronicity and strange events. But I lost my job. being one of the better employees. I trusted the world fully back then. Complete flow, cool events, some effortless manifestations. and....I was cheated😀🤧
Congratulations Jason! Amazing video! Loved the Background music. Would you mind sharing the piano one? Thanks again for the amazing lesson!
