Tao of Our understanding Alcohol Recovery Podcast

This story addresses the age-old question, "What is it that will make me fulfilled?" An excellent discussion of how we seek outwardly for what will bring purpose to our lives, not knowing we already possessed everything within. We eventually ended the conversation with a few minutes of discussion of wu wei.

Sensei Michael Elliston shares his thoughts on the 9th verse of the Tao Te Ching from a Zen perspective. The desire for more and how to determine when a creative task is complete, like a painting or writing a book, were a couple of the topics we discussed.

Are our fears keeping us from being happy? An excellent discussion of how our fears and resistance bend our path of love. This bending keeps happiness out of reach. We also started our weekly discussion of synchronistic moments for the week.

At first, I thought this story was more about the deception that desire brings into our lives. After our discussion, I believe this story is more about fear and how fears cause us to take actions that are as much an illusion as the fear itself. We also discussed food and applying the program to some of our lesser handicaps.

We completed reviewing a transcript today of an episode of the podcast, The Alan Watts Audio Experience titled, "The Mind Will Do What It Wants". A very good discussion about is "all as it should be" really true? And our perception of difficulties in life may be skewed more than we realize.
