Letting Go of Everything & Feeling Into the Flow of Natural Wisdom | Into the Heart of Datta | S5E7

Talk based on Verse 24 of Tao Te Ching about learning to flow in natural wisdom and leaning into the current of life's own movement.
0:00 Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching Verse 24: 'Wise Men Let Go of Everything Until Only Tao Itself Remains'
1:57 What is Tao?; Suffering, Destruction and Evil Are Also Tao; Everything is Like A Movie Projected Out of Tao
3:18 All is Tao, So How Do We Want to Experience Tao?; Unified Experience, Unconditionally Happy Experience, Free Experience; The Path is To Connect With the Highest Possible Frequency and Tune Ourselves To That
5:37 Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching: 'Those Who Tiptoe Do Not Stand Firm'; Bending Ourselves Out of Shape or Trying to Bend Life Out of Shape Through Control; Move With Full Acceptance in Each Moment
8:09 Accepting the Will of Life, Accepting When Life Says To Us Either Yes or No; Learning to Feel the Movement of Life; Where is the Current of Life Pulling You?
10:40 Eventually It Will Become Intolerable to Swim Against the Current of Life; The Body Itself is Made of Consciousness, So It Can Be a Reliable Indicator of Feeling Whether We're on the Right Track in Life
12:47 Exhaustion of Effort; The Essence of Living Tao: Can We Live With Life As Life?
14:04 Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching: 'Those Who Rush Do Not Travel Far'; There's Nowhere to Rush To Actually; Everything to Realise is Here Right Now; The Only Travelling We Need To Do Is Within
17:24 Remedial Spirituality: 'I'm Going To Do My Practice Now'; Becoming Tired of Thinking Whether It's Exciting or Dreadful; Exhaustion Creates the Space Where Real Awareness Starts To Bloom; It's From the Heart, It's A Sincere Thing, It's A Living Thing
20:47 Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching: 'Those Who Show Off Do Not Shine'; Spiritual Light That Shines From Within; Our Security Has To Be That 'I Exist', No Other Reason; We're Actually All God Experiencing All of This--And God is Just Sitting There Not Saying Anything
24:55 Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching: 'Those Who Judge Sabotage Themselves'; The Huge Wound Within Us--We Feel Like We Don't Know Anything; Life's Job is To Be the Executioner (Judge)--Life Will Decide Who is Who and What is What; Nothing Happens Without A Reason Here; Life Never Gives A Drop More Punishment Than It Needs To--the Same with Masters
32:02 Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching: 'Those Who Define Lose Track of What is Real'; Defining Gives a False Sense of Knowing; We Are the Energy of Existence, We Are Consciousness--Until We Know That, We Shouldn't Feel That We Know Anything About Anything Actually; Our Scientists vs. Maha Purushas
35:53 Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching: 'Those Who Control Forfeit Their Own Freedom'; If You Think You Need to Control Something, You're Already Lost; 'According to the Tao, All Such Modes of Action Are Insufficient and Unnecessary'
37:30 Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching: 'Wise Men Let Go of Everything Until Only the Tao Remains'; What Remains When You Let Go of Everything is Your Self, Which is the Tao, Which is the Essence of Existence; Bringing Awareness to Our Patterns; Letting Go First Means Seeing--You Have to Know What You're Letting Go Of; Being Able to See Our Patterns Means An Essential Distance Has Been Created
40:52 When Patterns Are Weak Enough and Awareness is Strong Enough, We Realise Our Identity--Nameless, Beginningless, Endless, All-Pervasive, Unfathomable Awareness; The Basis for the Compassion of Masters and How They Burn Our Karmic Stuff
43:13 The Concrete Things We Do That Lead Us Astray and the Wise Way To Deal With Them; In Each Moment of Life, We Have to Be Attentive--Where is Contraction Coming? Where is Expansion Coming?
45:53 The Urgency and Intensity Needed to Get Out of Doing An Imaginary Practice for An Imaginary Liberation Within An Imagined Life; Living With Some Kind of Fire; Ask What Do You Want Actually In This Life, And Then See What Brings You Closer or Takes You Further Away From That
