Ep. 22a: Tao Te Ching Series, Verses 18 & 19

On its face, the wisdom of the Tao often seems to contradict the “common sense” of consensus reality. But as always, we must look deeper. Verses 18 and 19 complement each other in that they point us toward the Logos, an inner understanding of Truth that can guide us more successfully than the definitions of “justice” and “morality” often established by our human systems. In this 2-part episode we consider topics such as patriotism, greed, loyalty to groups, and other dynamics relevant to this moment in history. Oh ... and we get a little silly, too.
