In this episode, Alan Watts speaks about:
Ancient Chinese philosophies
How social institutions are mistaken for the real world
The self, Confucianism, and the roles we play in life
Taoism and the basic energy of the universe
Tao as the force of nature
How space and solid are two facets of one reality
Yang and Yin, positive and negative, male and female
Conscious dying and preparing to let go
Acting in accordance with nature
“Whereas the emphasis in the Confucian tradition in China is on interference to a large extent, keeping things in order, there is a certain anxiety about the whole thing, the emphasis of Taoism is to trust in the course of nature.” - Alan Watts

Once I realized the value of the contemplation of the opposites(thanks to Alan Watts) the Universe as it is became self- evident and the ladder to the Deathless appeared.

I feel like Being/is-ness is different than the being in a particular form and then not being in that particular form. ☯️ Yin and Yang, Both are, both is, That is-ness/Being is the Capital B Being which is no matter if lower case being is flipping with non-being

Tao has no race no color no separation its the Eternal Reality living in the whole in Light of Universe just as said the living true nature of the "Humanity“ since u r living in the human body so does the mind be operated in the True nature of being human Living in Light of Universe " IAM " that simple nothing complicated. The duality exist oni when ye living out of the Eternal True Nature of a Living Humanity! Yin and Yang in truth are ONE Living Light of Universe IAM Love and Life! The Origin the Source! Do not focus in Yin and Yang but see beyond the Yin and Yang IS Infinite IAM that's where Yin and Yang descend! Similarly the Male and Female, the Love and the Life, both descend from the Light, the Whole of Love and Life is Light the Ultimate BODHI the Enlightened Heart and Mind IS the Light of Soul! As such, it IS as it was as it IS now and ever shall BE the same yesterday today tomorrow! What is inside and outside are to lead Thou to SEE beyond.... Similarly the up and down eventually will be returning to the Origin the Absolute the One!

Its illusions, all the way down tho- and this includes the structure and rules of the "tao" Eastern philosophy seems to need the foundations of western ethics, reason, and even the wealth of capitalism ( and all of its alienation and commodity fetish) to flourish , and be appropriated by recent trends such as the new age movement.

It's illusions all the way down though which include the foundations of western ethics, reason, wealth of capitalism, and trends of the new age movement. By the way, isn't this already happening?
