The Jason Gregory Podcast

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.

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.

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?

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?

In this podcast, we will explain one of Taoism's most famous stories, Zhuangzi's butterfly dream. In the Zhuangzi text, chapter two is finished with a very odd and peculiar story of Zhuang Zhou (Zhuangzi) dreaming he is a butterfly and the butterfly dreaming it was Zhuang Zhou. Many theories and speculation have been made about the meaning of this story. We will explain the three main meanings and the hidden Taoist interpretation of Zhuangzi's butterfly dream.

India is not typically known for its relationship to psychedelics. But around 3500 years ago we find an anomaly in India's most ancient text, a mysterious word called Soma. Some have attributed this to a psychedelic plant, some to a non-hallucinogenic plant, while others believe it's something metaphorical that makes no sense to us in the modern day. In this episode of The Sacred Word, I will explore the mystery of Soma discovered in India's most ancient text, the Rig Veda. I will dissect the candidates for Soma and try to end the age-old debate as to whether Soma is a psychedelic or not.

In this podcast, we will explain why India is the spiritual heart of the world. India is famous for being a large exporter of spices, tea, coffee, gems, jewelry, and vaccines. But its greatest gift to the world, and the one Indians are most proud of, is spirituality, beginning with Sanatana Dharma. For centuries, India has been invaded and oppressed, and yet, their Dharmic culture and spirituality has survived intact and are beginning to have a positive influence on the world. For thousands of years, many civilizations have come and gone, but India is still standing, making it the longest enduring civilization in the world and this is all due to the spirituality that binds the people in a deeper understanding of not only the world, but also ourselves on an individual level.

In this podcast, we will explain why Western culture is destroying the world. Since the advent of social media, Western influence has reached the most distant parts of the world with its own culture and ways of thinking. Unintentionally, or in some cases maybe intentionally, Western culture undermines other cultures and reduces cultural diversity because innocent people from far off distant lands slowly begin to dance to the beat of one loud Western drum. This is essentially a covert monopoly on culture that is taking place and most are ignorant. The West went from imperialism to the covert method of intellectual imperialism, where all cultures are evaluated and dissected through the prism of Western thinking, destroying the diversity that makes the world beautiful. How is this all happening? Find out!
