What an amazing ride! The narration, cinematography, music, animations, story, editing... just superb. Outstanding work, George!
I ❤️ your channel
I was going to make a comment about the similarities of stoicism and daoism and how they came into being independently of one another , but are so similar etc, but there's no point in me mentioning that when the two masters are present (George and yourself)
Hey einzelganger didnt expect to.see u here.
@@martind5565 no, no, no. Daoism is not similar to Stoicism. they are very far apart. This is the problem when you have youtube content that spreads waterdown teachings of Daoism. Read some Zhuangzi and scholars like Hans-Georg Moeller or listen to Jason Gregory and then tell me how similar they are. I hope you get in touch with the real teachings of Daoism. As Chinese I find it weird that such comparisons are made. Maybe what people teach outside China is not Daoism.
@@richardwong5670 I've read the tao te ching, I actually have zhuangzi ill be reading it after I finish the book I'm reading just now.
The similarities I see, is being content with what you have, no caring what other people think of you, be kind, coming to terms with mortality, patience especially with others, non judgement, appreciating solitude but also enjoying company and the importance of nature.
What are your thoughts on this observation (I'm genuinely interested) and have you read many of the stoic teachings?
Hi George, let me call you 师兄 ShiXiong here. Because of your film, I am in Wudang mountain with Master Gu right now! It is SOOO amazing that a Chinese living in Shanghai like me find out through TH-cam that such a place still exists in China! After all, it is not the border of countries that separated us, but the distance from outside to inside world. I got really luck to enter to the mountain a few days ago despite the covid policy restrictions. It definitely reminds me how challenging was for you to enter in 2020! Master Gu and I talked about you a lot.
Wish you find a way to keep your powerful, peaceful, beautiful mind.

Hello, this is Google's translation.
I am very fortunate to see the traditional Taoist culture of China being discovered and liked. I am a Chinese. I love traditional Chinese culture very much. I have been to Wudang Mountain and participated in a short training. Thank you George.[天人合一，道法自然] Man and nature are united, and Taoism is natural. Thank you
Man follows de dao of de earth.
De earth follows de dao of heaven.
Heaven follows de dao.
De dao follows that which is natural.
Authenticity means living my own most potential for interbeing in timespace.

I can't begin to tell you how much I needed this. I recently turned 69, and I have been feeling as if my life was over. Even though I am unusually healthy for my age, my body has let me know that I am no longer young. I live in isolation, in a place that is not my home, with very little social interaction. Perhaps this is an opportunity to turn within and develop a new understanding of life and mortality. I am a Zen Buddhist, and I find Taoism is completely compatible with the Dharma of The Buddha. Thank you for taking this journey. Whether you realize it or not, you have taken it for the benefit of all sentient beings. One thing I have learned in my 69 years is that if you change one thing, you change everything! Keep up the good work, please!
I hope you are doing well and still practicing/learning each day :) it’s an honour and a blessing to be able to read the comment you gave to George. Your comment has me feeling optimistic about my own future. Thank you!
@@haluonbeats1748 I can honestly say that I am doing better. I went through an extremely stressful situation a few months ago. I almost became homeless, just as my old body collapsed on me. I am proud to say that I did not panic. I stuck to my practice and my routine, and miraculously, I was saved from homelessness at the very last moment. Now I can see about getting a hip replacement! I am exercising, losing weight, learning and practicing, and I have decided to return to the place of my birth. I am packing and saving, and hoping to be fully recovered in time to be back home in 2 years. I was born in New York City in the Year of The Dragon, and I plan to be in Times Square on New Years Eve to see 2024, the next Year of The Dragon come in. I will be in Chinatown that February to celebrate with fireworks and dancing Dragons and Fu dogs. This goal has focused my energies, and given me something to look forward to. I'll be 72 by then, and ready to start a whole new adventure back on my native soil. Happy New Year and Best Wishes for YOUR future! IT'S NEVER TOO LATE!!!
@@katsujinkin60 You Sir are a hope and inspiration! Kindly keep sharing your journey to us in some form.
@@Gongaforing-b4x Thank you for those kind words. They came just when needed. Once again I am facing the spectre of homelessness. I was informed on New Year's Eve that I have a new landlord, and that my rent has tripled. I refuse to panic! I am maintaining my daily routine. I am meditating, exercising, and doing whatever is necessary to resolve the issue. I'm getting used to spending a large part of my day ON HOLD! I'm so old, I actually remember a time when you dialed your rotary phone, and an actual human being picked it up and spoke to you, Ha! One thing I've learned is that life never stops coming at you. You have to be both strong and flexible to ride the waves. I constantly remind myself that I have dealt with everything that has come my way for 70 years, and this is no different. 7 times down, 8 times up!!! This too shall pass, and one way or another, I will celebrate The Year of the Dragon on my native soil! I wish you all the best in this coming year. Stay safe, be strong (and flexible), and never despair. Be grateful for challenges, for they are the crucible of character!
If the isolation is due to Covid, stop fearing the covid and go out and enjoy life. Or you'll wither away in loneliness.
Politics and religions divide but spirituality joins us. Love and respect from Nepal.
Much love!!
@@George-Thompson Idk but maybe you need to reload this George. My notifications say you loaded but removed content. The only reason I got to see this is because I been waiting for this and just check in on your channel. IDK how TH-cam works but maybe re-uploading is in order to get some more views. Alright, off to finish this documentary.
Daoism is a religion
A wonderful video
The world needs more films like this, to help us all on the path to serenity
It's so hard to find more like this on TH-cam. Everything of substance is just politics, politics, politics - and politics has become a fanatical poison in the mind of society.

There is no happiness higher than rest.
Break das flower-tipped arrows of Mara

Painful is birth and death
over and over again.
Thank you for this.
This is like a 50 minute trailer. This could easily be split out to a multi hour experience of humanity
❤️❤️❤️
Ya right? It feels like not really explaining much - but it's VERY good for people to get a first touch...
@@George-Thompson hi George l have just watched your docu..l must congratulate you very much,message is very clear,l practice tajji several years now,and looking at the images,moved me inside a lot of things,positive,happyness,great Hope,etc etc.,.my Heart today is happy,please never quit the DAO ,dao never quit us . thankyou very much. From Sardinja
This documentary left me speechless I’ve been watching your journey and videos a lot but this documentary was executed so well. I loved it! I’m only 17 years old but this gave me so much perspective and I’m so thankful and glad that I got to see and experience your documentary. I find myself often stressing about the future but then I remember I’m young and I have so much opportunities and so much time and im going to use it well and enjoy life. Im going to look deeply into Wudang mountains and plan a trip there whenever I can! Much love
Same omg even im 17!!! And was stressing out abt life, but this helped me put things into perspective!! Hope ur happy and healthy
It’s always so nice to see kindred spirits like this. Knowing there are other people my age interested in things like this (and also stressing about the future lol) brings me such relief because I don’t meet them very often and it really does feel lonely sometimes. I also am planning to visit the Wudang mountains soon, I’ve been told it is magical and absolutely worth it. I hope you will be able to do it too!
(p.s. I never write comments like this but idk I just really felt called to do it this time so who knows)
Been a Taoist for 6 years, and it's the best thing that ever happend to me. Incredible film George and true, Dao is Everywhere
i'm so glad you enjoyed!! ❤️❤️
Yoda is my favourite Daoist Chi master
He who follows de dao is das noblest man under heaven.
Thank heaven for de dao, Curious George Thompson!
Thank you so much. Beautiful, loving and inspiring 😊
I am so proud to see that we have come to a point now where independent youtubers can create content that is undeniably on par with full feature TV productions - both in terms of raw production value and narrative
Thank you for making this
You and your team did a great job shedding light on some really important issues
I hope you have success with you future film making endeavors
Greetings from Germany
I,been a Chinese Malaysian have never visited China but you are incredible,visited China and doing a documentary about it.Amazing guy!
This was an incredible documentary! Probably the best I've ever watched! The cinematography is great but the message is even better!
I love that you weren't over inflating facts or talked with a lecturing tone.
It felt so genuine and was really beautiful to watch.
I really hope you open the captions for translation (my parents speak French and I really want them to watch this).
And I REALLY hope this gets the recognition it deserves!
Bravo to everyone who was involved and to you George! You were brave and awesome! ♡
Lara i'm so glad you think so!! Glad you enjoyed xx
Salute, George 💚
Hey Lara, just to say we've set up community submission for translating captions into various languages. You can find information in the description. 💫 xxx
Wonderful✨🧘🌸
This was truly outstanding. I clicked on it and honestly didn’t expect to watch for more than 5 mins. But, you did a great job telling an amazing story. Subscribed!
Welcome to the club .
Read my comment above
I think that you would really enjoy his
Initial series of videos which are about his first journey to China and how he became a student at master wu's taiji/dao school
What a wonderful thought provoking film George. Thank you for taking the time to put this together during what was one of the toughest times in our lifetimes. Even now 3 years later my thoughts go back and wonder how much the world has forgotten and this film could reconnect us with what is important now and to help us build a better future for the planet and every single living being on it. 🙏🏼
Many congratulations George, and thanks a lot for capturing my hometown mountain WuDang 武当 so beautifully🙏🏻💕💐. Taoism/Daoism, art, and nature are what we can lean on during such a challenging time. This year in the UK, Spring to Summer is transitioning very slowly, nevertheless, good weather is finally coming 🐝🎶🌺🌱 just like the natural law, one season follows another. And as you've put in so much energy into this film of peace and wisdom, she will flourish as she deserves.
I'm so glad you enjoyed!!!
De potential spiritual energy that lays dormant in de center of mass of a body is transformed into kinetic spiritual energy through de forces of practice.
Therefore, we work for nirvana,
that blessed state of heavenly calm obtained by expiation.
@@satnamo Seeing your rubbish appear after nigh every comment is starting to tire even me. I'm beginning to see why my ancestors drew the katana instead of bothering with talking. I sincerely hope you don't speak like this in real life. If you do - I suggest you find a psychiatric hospital.
@@ErraticFaith what is so bad about what he said? I'm confused.
@@ErraticFaith whether one appreciates Satnamo's personal poetic style or not, this is not the appropriate place to post one's own accomplishments. Nor is it the place to vilify them for it.
You might have heard this a thousand times by now but this film is so incredible and special from its inspiring story to the beautiful filmography, sounds, editing and atmosphere.
I have already seen this masterpiece of yours at least three times over the years and I find myself coming back to watch it whenever I feel the need to relax or remind myself that I will find peace and get through hard times just as long as I listen to what my heart tells me to do, accept myself and keep going. This film to me represents the importance of medation and life.
I hope you know what you and all the people involved in making this documentary have created and accomplished.
Best wishes to you, George! 🙏🏻☯️
P.S. The Daoist philosophy is truly wonderful.
By the way, technically speaking this documentary is great. The music, the transitions in the editing and the choice of footages is so cleverly put together and this is just your first. Please make more documentaries!
🙏🤗🌞
Glad you enjoyed it!
Long live Lao Tzu!
You may consider yourself an amateur film maker, but many professionals could learn from you. A lot of documentaries seem contrived and force their point across to the viewers. This film and your videos always come across as genuine and sincere and that can't be faked! Maybe it's just the Daoist in you that gives it such a great sense of flow...
:)
You have to be passionate about the subject matter inspired by the topics covered
CONGRATULATIONS GEORGE..! FROM ARGENTINA... THE REAL JOURNEY IS TO OURSELVES...THE EAST IS OUR HEART.... THE WEST IS OUR MIND...
THE FILM ES BEAUTIFUL.
THE MESSAGE IS CLAER.
AND YOUR SOUL IS BOTH.
THANK YOU MY FRIEND. GRACIAS AMIGO MIO...
Genuinely getting teary eyed at the end. You’re such an amazing man George. Watching your transformation in my darkest of times has inspired me to take similar yet smaller leaps in my own life, and I’m starting to become someone I genuinely love and am able to trudge through the anxieties now. I’m a completely different person than I was a year ago, and you really helped me with that, thank you brother, forever a follower on YT and FB. I can’t wait to see what amazing things you do next, I’ll be here through it all.
Much love my friend! xxx
Amazing video. Very well done.Thanks for sharing your journey with us. Very inspiring.
The best way in the world to spend your precious life and time...In the very Flow of Tao.
Marvellous! The inspiring tale of one young man and his travels, both to lands far away and, deep within himself, to spiritual and mental peace. I loved it and am gladdened to have discovered you.
From one old man to another young one, well done!
George, wonderful documentary & i am sitting in isolation lockdown as i watched this, The Journey To The East! I remember the beginning of your auspicious journey within in 2017, i just subscribed before i took a personal sabbatical to help my elderly Parents transition through cancer & dementia & walking them home. I have been able to pick up the thread here & see the unfolding of You & congratulations on becoming a Disciple with Master Gu 😊 Wudang Mountain is Majestic & one gets a distinct sense of it being a wonderful place to cultivate essence., to grow & to become. Waves to You & Master Gu From Australia, i really enjoyed Journey to the east, Thank You for taking me with You! Peace 💜
Much love, i'm glad you enjoyed!! xx
@@George-Thompson I think you will be like Sir David Attenborough in your deliveries in video/documentaries, he brings awareness to being HumanKIND & Mindful of Nature & Animals. You on the other hand George, are bringing knowledge to battered Souls, who can relate to you, everyone is on a Journey home to The Wisdom Of The East. I think like you, other Souls are searching, in need of Peace, Nature, Direction & Happiness, The Way! 😊🙏
Drop a pebble in a lake and the ripples spread out... So it is with our every good action...way beyond what we perceive with the senses. Every one of us can make a difference, Wonderful film by the way!
The world definitely needs more films like this well done guys 💟☯️💜🙏
I wanted to stop for a minute, and take the time to thank you for publication. I thoroughly enjoyed watching it , and yes. I cried before you left China.
I hope the world is good to you Sir.
And once again thanks.
The most learning and relaxing movie that I ever seen. Love from sweden
❤️❤️❤️❤️
As a Chinese this is so fascinating to watch!, the editing, narrative and research and effort behind this is incredible 💕best educational TH-cam video I’ve seen
Hello 👋 merci 🙌 George 👁️
I have been outside of the house the last 3 years, more than the previous 15.
Meditation teaches how thoughts produces what manifests as our experience
I am glad to hear you are picking the focus now, and no longer having outside directors of thought.
🙏🏻🙇♂️
Brilliant Film about Taoism, made me tear up many times when i realized how interconnected and simple the world is. At the end of day, our problems are just in our mind and we have to take some time to reconnect with nature to find our true selves and reset.
Yin yang:
I am in you because you are in me;
We are 1!
De 1 who knows das 1 becomes de 1.
Oneness within oneself brings oneness with das whole universe.
Lovely video, thank you!
George I want to thank you personally. As someone with a lot of beat up personality and personally. I applaude you dude!
You go when the mountains call you!
Very powerful film 🎥 thank you George 🌀☯️🌀 Grattitude
An absolute masterpiece! I will do my best to share this as much as I can to everyone I know. Thank you so much for making this film, George. Thank you Master Gu and everyone else working on the Wudang Taoist Wellness Academy courses. Great job by Joe Wells on the editing. Loved the animations by Mako Li.
I send love from Sweden - I'm eternally grateful for the inspiration and for your dedication to this cause of spreading Daoism to the world!
I'm so glad you enjoyed!!
Beautifully Done. Love it. Thanks
Beautiful, well done. At the music around the 31 minute mark, my five year old came to say, "what's that music? it's so beautiful."
He is the young David Edinburg. Simply amazing, loved every moment of his story. Thank you 🙏
Grateful to share these with you. 🙏
A refreshing documentary of inspirational young man in search for answers to timeless old questions. Deserves to be widely shared. And well done George, you are an inspiration to us all. A little spark of cosmic intelligence in an otherwise dark world.
Oh let me just be generous and say how amzing you are, for having the bravery to go on a journey like this, at the beginning of a global pendamic and for your insane ability to see the beauty in everything.
Thank you George... for sharing your journey... and for doing your part in helping to wake our souls to the beauty of the Tao and of ourselves.
Dear George, You are A living proof of: WHERE THERE IS WILLINGNESS, THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN STOP YOU!😅💚🕯️🦉🤔🌻👽❤
⚘George, it is a great surprise that a Westerner can appreciate & narrate the Eastern wisdom of Taoism so well. It is a journey through paradise watching your documentary. Your film deserve a special Award. Congratulation! Warmest regards from Malaysia.
Great job brother. Peace to you!
Thank you, George and your team 🌿
what an exeptional documentary. Glad I happened accross this channel!
This was incredible George. You're a born story teller and film maker.
Das world is a stage because
life is a show
and George is de lead actor
in de journey to de east.
This is stunning and very thought provoking. Thank you so much for sharing 😊
Thank you for your kind words!
This film is a light, I felt connected to everyone and at peace. George you are an ambassador of light. Thank you 🙏 🙏❤️❤️ for sharing with us. Will be watching again.
Amazing. Bravo!
Epic enlightening film !
Thank you so much for this wisdom!!!!!
I'm honoured you enjoyed Shifu! Thank you for your wisdom and support over all these years xxx
Thank you for the great movie! I knew about Yin and Yang but I never thought of deep over it.🙏🏻
Amazing. What a great work. Thank you George for sharing Wudang, Master Gu, and The Dao with us.
I'm only ~11 mins in but everything you're saying, and the people you're meeting are saying, is really resonating. I had to comment after hearing "We are made of nature. Without it, we are nothing."
Thank you for allowing us this glimpse into your adventure. Wanderlust is strong in me, and you're showing me why. Now, back to watching :D
Sublime! So inspirational. This film has had more of an impact on me than any Hollywood blockbuster ever could.Thank you George.
❤️❤️☯️☯️
I just love all your videos and those of Master Gu. I am studying Qi Gong now and reading Lao Tzu . I really appreciate your journey and honesty 🙏
I would love to hear more about diet, especially since I am interested in the Daoist grain free diet .
Thank you George
For raising your voice
Your work is inspiring.
The message that we are all intelligence and beauty
Is the hope for Humanity.
Congratulations 👏
Thank you so much Joe!!
BRAVOOOO...💕💗👏👏👏👏👏 Great Film, very informative, and as if we travelled with you, and learned with you. Thank you for this wonderful film, so full of greatness of humanity.

Beautiful film by a beautiful soul at the perfect time. Thank you for heeding the call and sharing your journey, as we will all benefit from
It. 🙏🏻☯️
It reminds me from time to time that every thing has its value in your life. Thank you!
Outstanding George, what a wonderful labor of love and a precious gift to us all.
❤️❤️❤️
Beautiful documentary ❤️, very necessary for todays world. As an animal and ambiental activist, it’s been very stressful and painful to see all the things that happens thanks to anthropocentrism (which I say is the root cause of most problems). Climate change, deforestation, pollution, trillions of beautiful sentient animals exploited and killed every year, and even covid and most pandemics!! all of those are the result of anthropocentrism: believing our power and intelligence justifies the destruction of everything that surround us, without understanding our role as humans as just one more piece from this amazing universe. While watching the documentary I teared thinking how beautiful the world could be if people knew about this, if people stopped rushing and replicating what societies make you see as normal, without stopping for a moment to see what we are doing to our fellow animals, and our home. Stopping, reflecting, without being afraid to accept we were doing unnecessary harm, knowing from now on, we can work on making a more peaceful and balanced world for everyone who lives here. I always felt taoism went so so well with veganism and ambientalism, I would love to talk about that and meet other people who see the relation there. There’s so much modern ethical and ecological theory that are so similar to taoist teachings from thouthands years old... what an amazing thing is taoism. I think covid woke up many minds around the world, I’m looking forward to seeing more people joining, the world will be more beautiful than ever.
This is very well shot, amazing and beautiful video. Thank you
Congratulations on completing this documentary. The scenery and cinematography is stunning. I thoroughly enjoyed watching. All the best to you and Master Gu.
It was incredibly cinematic coupled with a digestible yet profound message!
Oh George such a beautiful story and experience you shared with all of us. It was a year of transformation and evolutionary changes for the betterment of all. We are grateful for the Awakening and the Awareness to see the light within the darkness. Rejoicing in the DAO Now.......L💝VE
😊💝🎶🌎
Beautiful film George. Well done. I was called to follow the Dao only at the beginning of April. Writing that I am surprised, it seems like I have always been a Daoist. And of course I have. I just didn’t know it.
glad you enjoyed!!
Although I dont share totally the pandemic narrative, I really loved this film and of course its message! All the best from Germany! Soon transitioning from the eight brocades to 18 hand luohan gong.
Wow, powerful film. Thank you so much George
Zhi ge shipin zhide yi ge jiangxiang
Ta shi li hai
This video deserves an award
It's awesome .
Btw George's first series of videos [4 years ago ?] inspired me to begin learning Mandarin on my own in my spare time especially zuo ditie zai Niu Yue- taking the subway in New York . Xie xie ni, George 😊❤👍
Brilliant film. Thank you George🙏
Thanks! I am sharing the link of your video with my yoga students .. this is the time
This was incredible George! Thank you 🙏 The like bar is one place where we won't see any sort of balance...

Hey thanks for opening up this comment!
I’d like to tell you more about the story of the Taoist Wellness Online, Master Gu’s Online Academy. How the Academy started is quite a funny story 🙈.
We could never have imagined that today we are now the biggest Tai Chi school IN THE WORLD!
It all began when I was 3 years into my journey living with Master Gu in his mountainous Tai Chi School.
Master Gu is fluent in English and has always seen it as his life mission to share the healing Taoist arts of Tai Chi, Qi Gong and Meditation with the world. He shared with me his vision to create not only online courses, but an online Academy.
I was excited by this vision and shared how I could use my filmmaking and inter-web skillz to make it happen.
We then had a cup of tea and Master Gu sang Chinese opera while playing the guitar… 🤠☯
We are really proud of what we have built. We now are a 16-person team from 7 countries and we are on a mission to create films, communities and transformative education to help people and planet live in balance.
The Online Academy is one of the best ways you can help us on our mission and you get so much learning!

Happy learning!
With love,

you deserve respect to introduce taoist philosophy to mordern world
Very good, refreshing window on life, how it effects us and others in different parts of the world, who live in ways, with less, but have a better life enjoying being here with only the necessry not the must haves. The need for greed is destroying all things good in this world. It will effect us all at some point in life, maybe in different ways. But we should all make our stand for us and nature along with the rock we live on. I dont want an electric car, that will mean destroying much more of the planet, the cost is to high. Wealth, greed, what about earth, nature, living by only taking what we need, not what we can make profit from. Destroying all around us, so we can feel good about ourselves. Out of sight out of mind, out of mind, out of care. Do not abandon your duty of care, as greedy corps and bankers have. The cost is to high. George, when at the farm alone with nature, you still hung onto western pc, not conducive to getting back to nature. Plus when connecting with the nature, you missed the one important thing, we are from the same, we have forgotten how to be as nature. Plus relevant to the empty streets back in Bristol, nature has lived along side us, ever since we left the primeval ooze, from the micro organisms, viruses, bacterias, they need us, and we need them. Without the ying and yang life would not exist. Together in harmony we have evolved, on diff levels in diff ways, but together we are here. The nature you saw was not out to do you in, but survive as we used to, before we got the need for greed bug. This is the problem, not anything natural from nature. Think about what i am saying. I guess you have a wealth of paper bound insight close at hand. Dont waste your life without knowing, why, what for. Great things can be achieved by increasing your understanding of all things on this septic isle. Dao. Knowledge will guide you.
I think it’s hard to find Taoism on zoom… I’ll stick to meditating the trees dirt and Snow
Thanks a lot for providing this glimpse into Taoism. Much appreciated.
The big three religions of China can be very helpfull for our relation to the world, others and oneself.
The tea time taoism videos helped me not to lose perspective some years ago, while beeing in a dark place.
Thank you and Master Gu for sharing this wisdom and for the example this way of living shows to us and the World.
Buddha Bless you🙏 Amituofo!
Wonderfully edited and narrated, you have the real makings of a documentary director and editor, thank you for capturing your journey during this time In Particular ❤️🙏
Hello, George & Joe from Western New York State. So excited!
Loved it. I've been a western Taoist since I found the Tao Te Ching at age 13, after a falling out of belief with my born faith (Christianity). Nobody has ever begun to make Taoist content (especially with over 100k views) until recently, and I very much appreciate the work you put into this full length documentary on my most favorite thing in the world. I mean, how could the Tao not be? I've enjoyed watching you and this channel grow with this sweet old Master on the mountain. Wish you peace and clarity.
It is clear a lot of energy and thought went into the film. It was beautifully photographed and edited. Spiritually I hope it has the desired effect. Very well done!
I'm glad you felt so!!
Tks, George, for your positive contribution. Blessings!
The film is genuine and inspiring. Thank you for sharing this amazing journey and spreading the Dao.
2:24 sent some asmr chill over my whole body and I have the absolute biggest smile on my face! It's time for me to come home too. A few years back, I had a sort of breakthrough, I'd found Eastern philosophy & I was growing spiritually. Soon though, I fell back into old habits & insecurity. I'd forgotten all I had learned and spent so long wondering if I'd ever feel the pull back to Taoism, the east, and the need to experience life that way. I'm happy to say that the spark has returned to me! I'm starting over by watching your fascinating content & am hoping to deliver into the deeper parts of my humanity so that I can find my way back to the peace I had before & find my life's purpose. I want to thank you George. We don't know each other, but I'd be remiss if I didn't thank you for your friendship & allowing the world to accompany you on your journey. Someday soon, I hope to come study Taoism in China, like you. Thanks again! 💯❤️☯️
Thank you for heeding the call and sharing your journey, as we will all benefit from it 🙌☯️🌏 As a holistic career coach, I am thrilled when I see someone doing exactly what they are supposed to be doing with their life, as we all have a job to do and it’s the only way we are going to evolve as a species and planet. Grateful for your inspiration, talent and hard work George, beautifully done. 🙏🏻💜✨
Thank you so much Kristina, I'm very glad you enjoyed!!!
I randomly found your documentary at the perfect time in my life's path, thank you for sharing your experience.
when the student is ready,the teacher will reveal himself. 😊🙏
I admire what you have done George and the impact that your film may have in others! I will share it with my Qigong students. It is really a reminder of our energy true selves and an invitation to understand not only our connection with all that exists in this our reality, but our total interdependency that sustain our existence. Thank you for sharing it!
beautiful documentary, beautiful editing, beautiful message, beautiful people. ❤️ thank you
So good I have watched this quite a few times now. Very informative and entertaining,brilliant and a great cast of characters too especially The stunning Wumin, Master Gu ,Eli and the people you met on your journey. I get quite emotional when you make it back to the Mountains and realise that the World is quite small with lovely people on it however we do need to look after the planet instead of ruining it. We need more people like you in the world thank you so much George for the good you do.
Well done George,
What a refreshingly natural and peaceful way of telling a story with enormous benefits
The film is amazing George. Truly worth waiting for. Thank you to you, Master Gu, & the film crew. 💕 Love this!
hI George! great video thanks! lovely cutting and imagery!!!! especially like (and it's very taoist indeed..) to laugh and make fun of your own shortcomings in learning etc. superbly beautiful bplace and great architecture at wudang! we should all spread taoism by showing good examples of ourselves living in harmony with nature wherever we're actually based in the world! thanks again! keep these videos coming, hopefully teaching people good things for once instead of relying on stuff from shop-till-you-drop-plastic-surgery-changed-outside-fixated brainless influencers!
waaaaaaaw, this is sooo beautiful, thank you so much for this very heartful sincere movie George, feel touched and inspired :)
You are so welcome!!

i'm so glad you enjoyed it!!
Thank you. I support you.

Thank you so much for this film, George! I watched it together with my parents and they loved it. They've been a bit worried about my choice to study sinologie (chinese studies) but i think this film helped them understand why I'm so facinated by chinese culture.
Yes, the "divine land" (神州) has it all, so to speak: augustum, tremendum, faszinosum... (to paraphrase "old master" Rudolf Otto, from his religio-phenomenological study on "Das Heilige").
It was lovely getting away from my existence for 54 minutes. Thank you.
