When we do not accept life as life is life on life's terms, that's when we start looking either to make things better or worse, we start dividing.
What if your perceptions of the world were completely skewed by your fears and hopes? In this thought-provoking episode of 'Tao of Our Understanding', hosts Mark and 'Buddhist' Dave dive into Chuang Tzu's mystical tale, 'When A Hideous Man and The Five Enemies'. They explore how our views can often be distorted, causing us to lose touch with our true selves. This episode isn't just about philosophical musings; it’s about practical insights for anyone on the path to sobriety.
By discussing how labels like 'good' or 'bad' and 'ugly' or 'beautiful' can cloud our judgment, the hosts shed light on the importance of awareness and acceptance. Mark and Dave also share their thoughts on other influential works like 'A Course in Miracles', emphasizing the need to turn one’s will over to a higher power. The conversation takes a practical turn as they discuss the dangers of success and the importance of letting go.
The episode wraps up with a heartfelt message of support for those striving to break free from alcohol addiction. If you're looking for a blend of ancient wisdom and modern recovery strategies, this episode is a must-listen.
