| Chuang Tzu – Good Fortune – Fear or Acceptance! | 11 Mar 2022 | 00:46:52 | |
Today I find it's the best thing that has ever happened to me. This proves I don't know what's good for me. And if I don't know what's good for me, then I don't know what's good or bad for you or for anyone. So I'm better off if I don't give advice, don't figure I know what's best, and just accept life on life's terms, as it is today-especially my own life, as it actually is.

| Tao Te Ching – Verse 17 with Sensei Elliston – The Master does not talk; he acts! | 04 Mar 2022 | 00:47:42 | |
How does the master act? He takes the next righting action – not right action (vs. the wrong action). The next action that balances like righting a ship. Thank you, Sensei, for that nugget!

| Chuang Tzu - Apologies – The Downward Spiral from Spiritual Fitness! | 27 Jan 2022 | 00:52:41 | |
Our spiral from spiritual fitness to thinking a drink would be a good idea can be very subtle. This story demonstrates the spiral. For me, if there is something in my life that I start to control that I should be surrendering, I will lose my peace. If I remain in that state of peacelessness long enough (step 2), I start having outward unmanageability (step 1). The outward unmanageability can take many forms, including control, anger, resentment, dishonesty, or fear.

Could Non-Being be described as love? Excellent conversation concerning surrender and Step 2.

| Chuang Tzu – When Knowledge Went North! Emptiness Part 2 | 10 Sep 2021 | 00:55:16 | |
This is a story about Knowledge seeking the Tao. The answer was not in Knowledge but in Nothingness(emptiness)—a good discussion of applying the principle of nothingness to our lives. We also discussed how the Big Book of AA is a book of experience rather than a book of knowledge.
