The Jason Gregory Podcast

In this podcast, we will explain why it is important to focus on spirituality in 2021. 2020 for many was a year to forget. But what 2020 did expose is that there are many people who believe they are spiritual but when a little pressure is applied, they become emotional and reactive. This is a common trait with new age spirituality and this is why I focus on the authentic teachings of the East without any flimflam or BS. We need to truly understand what it means to be spiritual, especially from the perspective of the Eastern spiritual traditions, as they are focused on the nature of consciousness and inner self-work. In a time when the winds of change are like a tornado, we need to be soft and flexible to move efficaciously with the everchanging universal river of Tao.

In this podcast, we will explore the evolution of perception that we experience in our consciousness as a result of the spiritual process. This is a multifaceted topic which requires us to delve into the occult proverb of order out of chaos and the number 33 and why they are significant and relate to enlightenment, the chakra system, and the mythology embedded in the death and resurrection story of Jesus. Are the secrets of the mystical knowledge of the evolution of perception found in the theory that Jesus was in India during his 18 missing years learning the way of the Buddha and the yogis?

In this podcast, we will explore if the world is an illusion. One of the most ancient spiritual concepts is the Sanskrit Maya, which is often translated as illusion in the sense of the material world we see. But this translation was from Europeans new to Hindu knowledge and, as a result, was translated according to a European perspective that is mainly Christian. To understand such concepts as Maya, we have to understand them from the Hindu perspective and worldview. In saying all of that, Maya is the knowledge that the world is not real, but not the world you think of. The illusion of Maya is much more subtle. What is the illusion of Maya the Hindus have been speaking about for thousands of years?

2020 was an amazing year for books. There were so many great new releases and my new book Emotional Intuition for Peak Performance was published as well. But for myself personally, I reverted back to the classics and read some new translations of texts that I am very familiar with. Usually there will be an odd book in my top five that has nothing to do with Eastern spirituality and philosophy, but this year my top five is strictly books on Eastern spirituality and philosophy. My list of 2020 are books that will give you a deeper understanding of the great traditions and, of course, life and your true nature.   TOP 5 BOOKS OF 2020  1.

In this podcast, we will dissect chapter three of the Tao Te Ching to give you ultimate clarity on the meaning of the chapter. This is the third episode of the 81 Meditations of the Tao Te Ching, a series where we will explore each chapter of the Tao Te Ching. In the third chapter, the wise sages teach us to empty our hearts and weaken ambition to help us understand our essential human nature. We can come back to our nature by turning our backs on the artificial desires socialization creates and instead return to our natural simple desires (desires of the belly). Freeing ourselves from our attachment to artificial desires/cravings allows us to follow the path of noninterference, where we understand truthfully that when nothing is done, all will be well.

One of the main differences between the East and West is how the mind is viewed. From Plato all the way down to Descartes and Kant there has been this belief in the disembodied mind and this perspective has influenced many institutions such as religion, science, and education. Actually, this model is still today the common belief in the West and it is starting to infect the East, especially through education's focus on being rational. But is the disembodied model of mind the way the mind actually is? The Eastern spiritual traditions, especially Taoism, disagree with this model because of the fact that the West are only focusing on one cognitive function and area within the brain where the seat of "I" consciousness resides and not the whole brain, something that even cognitive science agrees with. The Eastern view essentially is mind-body holism while the Western model is mind-body dualism. This knowledge has been one of the most enlightening for people who have read my new book Emotional Intuition for Peak Performance. In this episode, I will explain both models. Which model is the truth?

In this podcast, we will explain why pilgrimage is important for spiritual growth and understanding. Ultimately, pilgrimage is a deep lesson in humility and surrender, which is why it is recommended for all sincere seekers interested in the Eastern traditions of Taoism, Buddhism, and Hinduism. The pilgrim's heart is often misunderstood because we are socially confining ourselves to comfort zones that don't really exist other than within one's mind and fear of insecurity. The pilgrimage is a medicine for this fear to free one from the boundaries we build in our mind that protects an ego that doesn't really exist. Learn how the pilgrimage can bring you back to your true nature.

In this podcast, we will speak about the significance of surrender and trust in the great Eastern spiritual traditions. One of the core tenets within Taoism, Buddhism, and Hinduism is the art of letting go to allow one's life to accord with That which is much greater than ourselves. But what is that something greater and how to actually let go and align with it? What will happen to our life and sense of self if we allow the ultimate reality's power to become our power? Find out!

In this podcast, we will dissect chapter two of the Tao Te Ching to give you ultimate clarity on the meaning of the chapter. This is the second episode of the 81 Meditations of the Tao Te Ching, a series where we will explore each chapter of the Tao Te Ching. In the second episode, we will explain how amorality, the interplay of opposites, and going beyond the duality of good and evil is imperative in understanding the way the natural universe functions, essentially the mentality to align you with the way of the Tao.

In this podcast, we will explain the seven chakras of the human organism. People have a nervous reaction when they hear the word chakras because a lot of new-age spirituality has warped the actual system and philosophy based on a misinterpretation of what energy is according to the tradition and what the chakras actually are. The seven main chakras of the human organism are related to energy, but an accurate interpretation is psychoenergetic centers or psychological centers. Understanding these seven chakras in-depth gives us a road map to enlightenment through understanding what psychological state we are in in any given moment.
