This is the Tao of Christ.

In this podcast, we discuss mystical works of literature, primarily Taoist text, and how they relate to alcohol recovery. Taoist Philosophy can be an excellent tool for embracing the idea of a “Higher Power.” Nature offers all of the examples necessary for a concept of a source of all life, much different but yet very similar in many ways to more traditional religious thinking. Here is a link to an online version of the Tao Te Ching; https://ttc.tasuki.org/display:Year:1972,1988,1996,2004/se ...

Thomas Brill and myself, Brian Parks, meet once a week to discuss the nature of existance and other topics of interest. We figured why not speculate on a specific topic each week just for laughs. Our first one is big. The 81 chapters of the Tao the Ching written approximately 300 or 400 BCE. This week we start with chapter one. We are laypersons with no special training or knowledge giving our first impressions of the 1989 Hendricks translation.

What was stable has become unstuck: mass movements and class conflicts, elite hubris and institutional failure, authoritarianism and a collapse of authority: and everywhere a crisis of meaning. How should one live in this world? In this podcast, I take books I read and ideas I find and try to bring them down to earth, to understand what is happening here and now. I seek lasting principles, not hot takes. Topics include the professional class; critiques of social justic ...
