Taoism's Naturalness vs Religious Sin
In this episode of Enlightenment Today, I will explain why you should not be at odds with your own humanity. A lot of religions believe that our natural inclinations are sin. But is this perspective on sin healthy or natural? Taoism tears such an illogical perspective apart and argues that our natural inclinations are not something to suppress, but rather embrace.MENTORSHIP PROGRAMShttps://jasongregory.org/mentorship-programs/SUBSCRIBE ON YOUTUBE https://www.youtube.com/OneWorldWithin for new videos every weekSUPPORT MY WORK Patreon https://www.patreon.com/jasongregory Paypal https://www.paypal.me/JasonGregoryAuthorMY BOOKS The Tradition of Natural Taoism https://amzn.to/4aD3X6BSpiritual Freedom in the Digital Age https://amzn.to/3iDNaHL Emotional Intuition for Peak Performance https://amzn.to/2oZZdFm Effortless Living http://amzn.to/2z0EG3Q Fasting the Mind http://amzn.to/2zhsAY1 Enlightenment Now http://amzn.to/2B2oNuV The Science and Practice of Humility http://amzn.to/2z01WPbRECOMMENDED READING LIST https://jasongregory.org/recommended-books/PRIVATE CONSULTATION https://jasongregory.org/contact/MERCHANDISE https://teespring.com/stores/jason-gregoryFOLLOW ME Instagram https://www.instagram.com/jasongregoryauthor/ Twitter https://twitter.com/JasonGregory33 Facebook https://www.facebook.com/JasonGregoryAuthor/ LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/jasongregoryauthor/ Amazon Author Page https://www.amazon.com/Jason-Gregory/e/B0053O1HKK/ Goodreads Author Page https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/3021190.Jason_Gregory WEBSITE https://jasongregory.org/Disclaimer: Jason Gregory is an Amazon Associate member.
