A Christian Reads the Tao te Ching

A Taoist Fish Fry - and the nature of good, evil, and the “ghosts” of our past that haunt us (chapter 60)


Listen Later

In this episode, we look at chapter 60, which has several very different ideas all smashed into one. I'll start with a meditation on the nature of our relationship to the "ghosts" in our lives - the people who try to bring us down. The rest of the episode is divided into a few parts:

1. "Ruling a nation is like cooking a small fish" - the importance of non-meddling in leadership
2. "Give evil nothing to oppose, and it will disappear all by itself" - is evil an actual force to be contended with, or simply a bending of the inherent goodness of the universe?
3. "No longer haunted, but whole" - dealing with the ghosts of trauma and pain that haunt us
