In this episode of Enlightenment Today, I will explain the practice of loving kindness meditation in Buddhism. In a world lacking compassion and forgiveness, loving kindness meditation is a great practice to cultivate and amplify those intrinsic human qualities. The decline of compassion and forgiveness was also a problem during the time of the Buddha. But instead of blaming others, Buddha turns our gaze within to expand our love beyond the boundaries of our associated affection, to include our so-called enemies and strangers. This practice will transform your mind and has a profound impact on how you experience the world.

#57: How Lao Tzu Aligned with the Tao

In this podcast, we will explain why having no relationship to anything is freedom. In the ancient scripture of the Mandukya Upanishad and its Karika (commentary) by the ancient Advaita master Gaudapada, we discover a practice and a way of life focused on having no relationship to anything for advanced sages known classically as Asparsha Yoga. This hidden knowledge and practice were feared by the great Yogi's of the past because of its intensity, but, nevertheless, Asparsha was still acknowledged as a prerequisite for spiritual liberation. Find out why the ancient Yogi's and spiritual aspirants fear Asparsha Yoga.

#56: Why No Relationship to Anything is Freedom

In this episode of Enlightenment Today, I will explain the ultimate state of authenticity accessed by the great Taoist sages. In the Tao Te Ching, Lao-tzu spoke of a genuineness that is at the core of our very being that the true sage of Tao embodies. This is a radical authenticity that is not determined by pop culture or any form of socialization. It goes far beyond social, cultural, and religious conditioning to a state of being that is a mirror reflection of the natural process of Tao, the way of nature.

Taoism's Ultimate State of Authenticity

In this podcast, we will explain how Eastern spirituality and Western psychology understand the "I," the persona. Both have completely different perspectives of the individual based on their diametrically opposed cultural and religious worldviews. These differences are extremely important for understanding how to overcome suffering. One path provides a way of dealing with our suffering within the social and cultural boundaries we find ourselves in and the other questions these boundaries by suggesting the society and culture themselves create suffering and cannot be alleviated by conforming to the indoctrination that caused suffering in the first place.

#55: Eastern Spirituality vs Western Psychology

In this podcast, we will explain what the true state of everlasting bliss is in Eastern spirituality. In Hinduism and Buddhism, they speak of Ananda, a bliss that is everlasting and innate to our being. But Ananda is not an associated form of happiness, rather it is unassociated. Taoism also agrees with the views of the Dharmic paths and have an identical view. In the Tao Te Ching, Lao-tzu explains that there is a contentment of contentment we can experience which is beyond partiality. All three traditions postulate that unassociated bliss is our true nature. However, most of us don't even know what that means, nor have we experienced it. We need to first ask ourselves, what does unassociated bliss really mean? And if it is true, what steps do we have to take to experience this everlasting happiness?

#54: Taoism, Buddhism, and Hinduism on the True Nature of Happiness

In a world growing overly sensitive and overly serious about every little thing due to political correctness being forced on the innocent minds of the masses, virtue signaling and weaponizing identity becomes a new tool to create artificial divides among humanity. But this is nothing new. 2,500 years ago during the Warring States period of China, Lao-tzu had to also deal with the politically correct insanity that gave rise to Confucianism. Hence, Lao-tzu left society because common sense and being humble had declined and were eventually replaced with verbal and physical posturing (virtue signaling). In this episode of Ask Jason, I will answer a concern that many people on the spiritual path have, does virtue signaling and identity politics have a place in Eastern spirituality considering the core principle of the East is to dissolve the identity that is full of beliefs and opinions built on the illusion of separation?
