Jeremy Lent reading from the Tao Te Ching and discussing the importance of interconnectedness, the essence of a life-affirming civilization, and finding meaning beyond the material world. We discuss the complexities of existence, the influence of relationships, and how we can shape a future that values harmony with the environment.
Today’s guest, Jeremy Lent, is an author and speaker exploring the roots of our civilization’s existential crisis and pathways to a life-affirming future. His award-winning books, The Patterning Instinct and The Web of Meaning trace the flaws of the dominant worldview and propose an integrative approach for a flourishing future. He founded the Deep Transformation Network, a global community focused on ecological civilization and deep transformation toward a regenerated Earth.

Jeremy Lent reads two pages from Tao Te Ching by Lao Tzu. [reading begins at 20:53]
Hear us discuss:
“The spiritual path is about looking at how things relate to each other rather than focusing on the things themselves.” [06:40] | “To pursue learning, one increases daily. To pursue Tao, one decreases daily.” [23:22] | “The world is a spirit vessel which cannot be acted upon. One who acts on it fails.” [23:58] | “There is no calamity like not knowing what is enough, and he who knows what is enough will always have enough.” [26:58] | “We are all part of this nonlinear complex system that is human society.” [46:20]
