Tao of Our understanding Alcohol Recovery Podcast

In this podcast, we discuss mystical works of literature, primarily Taoist text, and how they relate to alcohol recovery. Taoist Philosophy can be an excellent tool for embracing the idea of a "Higher Power." Nature offers all of the examples necessary for a concept of a source of all life, much different but yet very similar in many ways to more traditional religious thinking. Here is a link to an online version of the Tao Te Ching;

2022/12/02

A good discussion of verse 26 of the Tao Te Ching from a Zen perspective with Sensei Elliston. “The inner is the foundation of the outer. The still is master of the restless. The Sage travels all day yet never leaves his inner treasure. Though the views are captivating and beg attention, he remains calm and uninvolved. Tell me, does the lord of a great empire go out begging for rice? One who seeks his treasure in the outer world is cut off from his own roots. Without roots, he becomes restless

When people lose their essential nature by following desires, their actions are never correct. To govern a nation in that way results in chaos; to govern oneself in that way results in defilement. Therefore those who do not hear the Way have no means of returning to their essential nature. Those who do not understand things cannot be clear and calm. — Thomas Cleary, Wen-Tzu, Verse 7 Don't forget to use the resources mentioned below for tools to stay sober any time during the year.

Those who find out about things end up without contrivance. They nurture the intelligence by calmness, unify the spirit by abstraction, and take to the gate of nothingness. — Thomas Cleary, Wen-Tzu, Verse 6 Don't forget to use the resources mentioned below for tools to stay sober any time during the
