| 09 Jun 2021 | Why You Live in Fear (The Rope and Snake Analogy) | 00:09:07 | |
A persistent problem on the spiritual path is that even though we may understand that we are eternally one and all else is an illusion, our soul on an individual level is still overcome by fear because of a fundamental misperception that is best explained through the famous Vedantic analogy of the rope and the snake. In this episode of The Sacred Word, I will explore the Atmabodha (Self-Knowledge), a famous text by the great Advaita master Shankara. In this text, Shankara explains the significance in understanding the rope and snake analogy and how it holds the key to freeing your soul from fears illusory boundaries.

| 05 Dec 2020 | #22: Why the Self Help Industry Won't Improve Your Life and How Eastern Spirituality Will | 01:53:15 | |
In this podcast, we will explore why self-help and motivation doesn't transform ourselves or alleviate psychological problems and how Eastern spirituality actually does create the change we are longing for. In a world suffering from an exponential growth in stress, anxiety, depression, and suicide, many people are turning to self-help and motivational gurus to hopefully pull them out of the darkness. But what we are now seeing after years of confidence in the self-help industry is a suppression of the real spiritual work that is needed to realize true happiness and contentment. That is why many are realizing the pitfalls in the self-help industry and are turning towards Eastern spirituality for a deeper exploration of oneself. So instead of tinkering with your life with self-help to adapt to the social game so that you can become a "successful" player, Eastern spirituality is telling you to give the game up altogether and find out what is fundamentally true within the universe because the game itself is rigged and only leads to suffering. | |||
| 05 Sep 2020 | #9: TAOISM: The Way of the Sage | 01:36:57 | |
In this podcast, we will explain what the genuine individual is according to Taoism. In the Tao Te Ching and the Chuang Tzu text, there is a term used in Chinese known as zhenren. Zhenren is often translated as the true individual of Tao, the perfected person, or authentic sage. It is a genuineness that is natural to all beings, but usually only accessed by the great spiritual masters and is the essential characteristic of the mysterious Taoist sages. In this podcast we will unpack what the zhenren essentially means and how we can come back into alignment with it so that we can be an aperture for the Tao to enlighten the world. | |||

| 01 Jan 2022 | #60: 5 Reasons You Don't Exist | The Mind Science of Buddhism | 00:55:58 | |
In this podcast, we will explain if you really exist or not. To examine the self, we will explain the mind science of Buddhism from the perspective of the the five aggregates, especially the Madhyamaka and Yogacara schools of Mahayana Buddhism. People often assume Buddhist beliefs are built on the idea that the self (ego/persona) is a persistent illusion, but this is not entirely true because it is much more complicated than that unfounded belief. The five aggregates are actually an advanced mind science centered on how the self is developed and, as a result, why the illusion of a self is based on a cognitive error we all make before waking up (nirvana).

| 15 Sep 2021 | The Unified Consciousness Model - We Are All One | 00:12:41 | |
The great Eastern spiritual traditions reiterate numerous times through hundreds of texts that only consciousness exists and everything else, including yourself, is an illusion. This conflicts with our modern sensibilities because this ancient knowledge suggests that the world is neither real or unreal, but something entirely different. In this episode of The Sacred Word, I will explore one of the most radical nondualist texts, the Yoga Vasistha. This one text will challenge your way of thinking and explains thoroughly how the world is only one undifferentiated consciousness, the Absolute Brahman.

In this podcast, we will dissect chapter five of the Tao Te Ching to give you ultimate clarity on the meaning of the chapter. This is the fifth episode of the 81 Meditations of the Tao Te Ching, a series where we will explore each chapter of the Tao Te Ching. In chapter five, Lao-tzu explains how both nature and a sage view reality impartially. The second part of this chapter dives deep into the concept that the within empty space is the power of Tao. The more we access it, the more we produce. Also, the last part of the chapter refers to the excessive use of words and a return to the center. But what does it mean by "words"? Some new age translations make Westerners believe that it is referring to how it is impossible to speak about the Tao, which is a false understanding and the result of bad translations. The translation of words in this chapter has a dual use and is important for understanding what it means to return to the center.

| 18 Nov 2020 | TAOISM | The Cannibal Thief Who Ate Confucius's Liver | 00:27:14 | |
In this episode of Enlightenment Today, I will explain the Taoist cannibal thief Robber Zhi found in the Zhuangzi text. Robber Zhi is one of the least known and understood in the Zhuangzi text. He is the embodiment of the Taoist attitude towards life, but people confuse this passage with historical events rather than seeing it as a parody. In the story, the moralist Confucius seeks to change Robber Zhi's rebellious behavior. Confucius believes that someone as charismatic and handsome as Robber Zhi should take on an aristocratic title. When Confucius arrives, Robber Zhi is having a snack of human livers, symbolizing his complete contempt towards Confucian morality. What unfolds in this exchange is one of the greatest intellectual beatdowns within any Taoist text. Though Robber Zhi may appear gross and absurd in this passage, he is an example of the Taoist attitude towards life and how one should follow one's nature. How can a cannibal thief be a Taoist? It depends on if you understand the depth of the parody. Find out more. | |||
| 20 Oct 2021 | Ask Jason: Taoism's Critique of Virtue Signaling and Identity Politics | 00:09:57 | |
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?

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.

Our societies try to offer advice and methods for tackling this growing problem. We are told to take all sorts of medication, this diet and that meditation practice, visit the psychiatrists, but still mental illnesses are increasing exponentially. The heart of the problem is so obvious, but not socially accepted in the modern world. But in the East this taboo knowledge and approach builds the core of the ancient spiritual teachings. It is a matter of how serious and radical are we willing to be to tackle this health crisis head-on. Find out more!

The great Taoist sage Zhuangzi has one of the most unique ways of viewing the world, which runs counter to conventional thinking. His revelation is based on the freedom one attains once we go beyond conventional standards of judgment and the illusion of good and evil. Once we understand this true freedom, we cannot be made to suffer again, no matter the situations or circumstances we encounter.

| 10 Oct 2020 | #14: The Psychological Differences Between East and West | 02:02:09 | |
In this podcast, we will explore why Easterners and Westerners think differently. There is an outdated assumption, based on Western biases, that there is one universal way of thinking. But modern research suggests nothing could be further from the truth. Actually, the differences in thinking are why Westerners tend to misinterpret Eastern spirituality, leading to new age oversensationalized interpretations of the philosophies of Taoism, Hinduism and Buddhism. We will uncover these differences and why different cognitive styles developed in the first place affecting our worldview. | |||

In a world hypnotized by opinions and beliefs, it is hard for the sincere spiritual seeker to not be sucked into worldliness. We've all slipped on the path because of the ignorance and foolishness of those individuals who are asleep.

I will explore if meditation is a sufficient method and strategy to deal with such worldly hypnosis. | |||

| 18 Sep 2021 | #49: The Birth of the Ego and How a Sage Destroys It | 01:17:59 | |
In this podcast, we will explain how thoughts create the ego and what are the nature of thoughts. Thoughts and the process of thinking has been an area the East has focused on for thousands of years. In the modern world, we are under the impression that thoughts are linked in a series creating this continuity of the person we think we are. What causes this linkage? Is it a natural function of the mind or just a habit we are caught in? The great spiritual traditions of the East explain why thoughts themselves are not linked and this wisdom uncovers the nature of the mind itself and its true essence and function.

| 22 May 2021 | #37: The Next Stage of Human Evolution | 01:03:20 | |
In this podcast, we will explain the next evolution of human consciousness, essentially the great opportunity it is to be human. The Eastern spiritual traditions have always guided us towards this next evolution, but we've designed a world where we are exponentially forgetting the sacred due to our habit of succumbing to our animal past that locks us in a psychological state of fear, where status, fame, wealth, security, and protection are the highest priorities. But always in the background are the symbols, texts, and sages of the mystical traditions pointing us to the source of all existence that transcends all life but is also immanent within all life. Something within us is always gently whispering, "Do you remember? Why do you exist?" The evolution of consciousness is a remembering process and a turning away from the forgetting process of Samsara. But what are we trying to remember? The answer to this question is imperative to understand for the next stage of human evolution to take place.

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.

| 03 Oct 2020 | #13: Spiritual Bypassing, the Shadow, and the Dangers of Psychological Dissociation and Suppression | 01:56:30 | |
In this podcast, we will explore spiritual bypassing, the shadow, and the dangers of psychological dissociation and suppression in spirituality. Though these concerns have been at the forefront of Western psychotherapy, the Eastern spiritual traditions of Hinduism, Buddhism, and Taoism have a had a philosophical and scientific understanding of the mind to counter such psychological issues for thousands of years. But this Eastern science of mind is something a lot of people don't know about when they first get engaged in spirituality all due to spiritual teachers who have not been trained sufficiently in either tradition, leading to the spiritual teachers themselves suffering from these afflictions of mind. We will explain the proper science of mind in the East and how without a thorough understanding of that system you won't make any great progress in your own spiritual process. | |||
| 03 Jan 2025 | Buddhism's Pessimistic View of the Future | 00:11:47 | |

Since the counterculture movement of the 60's and 70's there is no voice from that period more widely heard or read than Alan Watts, especially since the birth of social media. But Alan's voice is often known only in soundbites and not many people in the modern world actually know the origins of his teachings or anything about the remarkable life he lived. What did Alan really know and understand? Should we invest our time in that same knowledge to reach the depths of understanding Alan came to? When we peel the curtain back there is much more to the legend of Alan Watts than meets the eye.

| 14 Nov 2020 | #19: WHAT AM I?: Answering the Fundamental Question of Your Existence | 02:00:04 | |
In this podcast, we will explore the fundamental question of our existence, what am I? When Westerners first started translating ancient Eastern texts, this question was framed incorrectly into "Who am I?" which has affected our way of understanding the depth of Eastern philosophy. Hinduism, Buddhism, and Taoism are spiritual paths designed to go beyond the person, beyond the "Who am I" to the fundamental question of What am I? This subtle transition of thinking takes us to the deepest level of our existence where the I itself disappears. What remains when the dissolution of I occurs? We will attempt to answer this fundamental question. | |||
| 25 Sep 2021 | #50: How Western Culture is Influencing Your Thinking and Destroying Cultural Diversity | 01:17:58 | |
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.

It is a concept I have explored within many of my books and my documentaries 'The Art of Effortless Living' and 'Effortless Action: The Art of Spontaneity.' But in this podcast, we will explore it even more deeply including its importance for cultivating skills within a craft or in life that is something I explore in my new book 'Emotional Intuition for Peak Performance.'

| 30 Apr 2021 | #34: Why the World is Not Real (What is Maya?) | 01:15:01 | |
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?

| 19 Sep 2020 | #11: The 16 Year Old Boy Who Became Enlightened and Changed the World | 01:40:27 | |
In this podcast, we will explore the life and teachings of a 16-year-old boy who became enlightened and changed the world. This boy, born Venkataraman Iyer, is none other than the great sage of the 20th century we know as Ramana Maharshi. The teachings of Ramana Maharshi played a big part in the nondual spiritual path of Advaita Vedanta, and spirituality in general, becoming popular in the West. But who really was Ramana Maharshi and why are his teachings significant now more than ever? | |||

In this podcast, we will explain why Lao Tzu believed we could know the mysterious Tao through our own life, even though many assume the "Tao is beyond human comprehension." Lao Tzu actually disagrees with this commonly parroted phrase. This is the twenty-first episode of the 81 Meditations of the Tao Te Ching, a series where we explore each chapter of the Tao Te Ching.

| 03 Nov 2021 | Taoism's Ultimate State of Authenticity | 00:13:22 | |
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.

| 26 Dec 2020 | #25: Why Modern Culture is Empty and How Ancient Cultures Can Enrich Our Lives | 02:05:40 | |
In this podcast, we will explore why the ancient cultures of the East are more important now than ever before. Unfortunately, when Eastern spirituality was imported to the West it went through an intense cultural appropriation that stripped the traditions bear of any cultural knowledge and flavor. The significance of culture became secondary to how these new and exotic traditions can benefit our own way of living. In our modern world, ancient cultures in general are sadly becoming a thing of the past due to our focus on so-called progress and technological advancement. As a result, an empty culture is slowly being developed in the world based around the internet and this online culture is driven by Western beliefs and thinking. This Western version of reality online is infiltrating Eastern cultures that don't have the same cognition and this is causing a lot of psychological and social damage. But the damage is not only happening to those in the East because it is unknowingly damaging the minds of the West as well. Our modern culture that is slowly developing is eliminating thousands of years of culture in one generation. This is a disaster and will have long-term implications. What we don't understand is that culture is an accumulated set of knowledge passed down from one generation to the next because the knowledge is true and works, it is why we have evolved to become a cultural species. To eliminate thousands of years of cultural knowledge will cause irreversible damage and widespread psychopathy's. Instead of turning our backs on the great cultures and traditions of the past, we need to lean into them and understand how they enrich our lives. What we are is a product of all the great cultures in the world. Should we replace them with an artificial culture based on one version of the world? Find out! | |||

| 13 Sep 2024 | Is AI the Beginning of the KALI YUGA? | 00:22:21 | |
Did the Hindu world-age doctrine of the Yugas predict artificial intelligence to be the beginning of the end for the human species? Well, it is not that simple, but the dark times of the Kali Yuga are characterized by a devolution of the mind into gross matter and a sharp decline in intelligence due to our externalized perspective of reality. So, with this understanding of this ancient prophecy, how does artificial intelligence signify the beginning of the Kali Yuga?

| 08 Jan 2022 | #62: TAOISM | Why Losing Interest in the World is Freedom | 00:49:26 | |
In this podcast, we will explain why losing interest in the mundaneness of the world is a sign of spiritual growth and maturity. Going back to ancient times it was imperative for a spiritual aspirant to withdraw from worldly affairs as we see within the teachings of Taoism, Buddhism and Hinduism. The importance of this distance from worldliness for the spiritual aspirant hasn't changed, but the power of distractions in the modern world has intensified. This is why now more than ever is a great opportunity to develop spiritually and eliminate distractions to overcome the deepening madness of the world.

| 13 Mar 2021 | #27: The Mystical 4th State of Consciousness of the Great Sages | 01:47:07 | |
In this podcast, we explore the mystical fourth state of consciousness of the great sages. In the sacred text of the Upanishads this fourth state is known as Turiya. The Turiya, along with Atman and Brahman, is one of the main concepts to understand in the nondual path of Advaita Vedanta. To understand the knowledge of the great sages, especially Shankara and Gaudapada, we have to understand Turiya in relation to the other three common states of consciousness. This sacred knowledge known by few, is a mystical state of consciousness which is beyond any form of experience and experience itself. | |||
| 20 Apr 2021 | Taoism's Embodied Mind and the Disembodied Myth of the West | 00:18:50 | |
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? Find out.

In this podcast, we will explore the nature of enlightenment within Eastern spirituality and lots more. There is often a misconception of what enlightenment is and how it relates to our subjective persona. Another issue surrounding enlightenment is whether or not it is a permanent state of consciousness or a temporary experience. We will unpack all of these issues and much, much more. | |||
| 03 Sep 2022 | #84: The Friendship First Philosophy to Save the World from Conflict | 01:00:24 | |
In this podcast, we will explain the friendship first philosophy in the East. Avoiding arguments and debate is another hallmark of Eastern thought that a lot of Westerners find hard to comprehend. In the West, we are almost encouraged to debate so we can come to a conclusion on a matter. This way of thinking is incorrectly believed to be universal. Westerners often think that the way they think is the same for everyone else. This is a clumsy way of viewing the world. Both East and West cognitively evolved differently which influenced their social structures, philosophies, religions, language, and basic world view. In the West, debate was a natural byproduct of analytical thinking and individualism. While in the East, avoiding debate based on the foundation of friendship first was a natural byproduct of holistic thinking and collectivism.

| 21 Oct 2020 | Ask Jason: How Lao Tzu, the Buddha, and Ramana Maharshi Would Raise a Child in the Modern World | 00:22:17 | |
Many people on the spiritual path are often perplexed as how to raise a child in the modern world, considering all of the falseness and hypocrisy that has become our materialistic culture. This is something I'm sure we all struggle with and I know many people who have children struggle to raise a child in such a false world. In this episode of Ask Jason, I will answer an interesting question about how Lao-tzu, the Buddha, and Ramana Maharshi would raise a child in the modern world. | |||

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. | |||
| 15 Aug 2020 | #6: How You are Identical with the Source of the Universe | 01:59:40 | |
In this podcast, we will explore the fundamental source of the universe and a lot more. In the three great Eastern traditions of Hinduism, Taoism, and Buddhism the source is described using the terms Brahman, Tao, and Sunyata. Though the philosophical perspective and general worldview may differ among the three traditions, the nondual experience of the source cannot be different and is only perceived as different on a linguistic level due to philosophical differences, something acknowledged by enlightened masters and scholars. We will dissect the similarities and differences of the three traditions and focus on a comprehensive understanding of the ultimate source of all existence. | |||
| 07 Nov 2020 | #18: The Power of Renunciation in a Crazy World | 02:01:38 | |
In this podcast, we will explore the path and practice of renunciation in the Eastern spiritual traditions. Renouncing the world is often thought of negatively by people who feel we should acquiesce to a role and be part of society. But the problem with this form of social submission is it is counterproductive to one's spiritual process if one has not been sufficiently trained in the meditative practices and philosophy of any of the great Eastern traditions. Essentially, socialization impedes spiritual progress. This is why the great masters headed for the mountains to live in harmony with nature. But it was not only this form of renunciation that was a central practice in the East because in the end, the ultimate renunciation of worldliness is an internal process that begins when we begin to renounce our own mind, which coincidentally is the world. Find out how your mind is the world. | |||
| 22 Jul 2020 | Ask Jason: Why Taoism and Jainism Disagree Over the Process of Suffering and Death | 00:22:18 | |
I get a host of questions via social media and through my website about the finer details of Eastern spirituality. So I decided to start a new series called Ask Jason. In this series I aim to unpack some of the great questions I receive. The question I tackle in this video is about our moral disposition when we see another being suffer. Should we intervene? Is it natural to intervene? What is our moral obligation or do we even have a moral obligation to begin with? These will be answered and much more.

| 06 Jan 2022 | Ask Jason: Taoism's Aimlessness vs Western Goals and Success | 00:12:35 | |
In the Tao Te Ching and the Zhuangzi there is no consideration of goals, but rather a focus on aimlessness as a method for creating healthy and sane individuals. Having goals, according to Taoism, is a blind alley that can lead to all sorts of psychological problems and social unrest. In this episode of Ask Jason, I will answer a question about whether or not a goal oriented focus can fit into the art of wu-wei (effortless living/non-doing/non-interference) and whether or not we should have a goal or goals in life and on the spiritual path.

| 09 Sep 2020 | Ask Jason: How Tibetan Buddhism is Related to Hinduism | 00:14:34 | |
The spiritual roots of Tibet lay in the native tradition of Bon and the migration of Buddhism from India. Tibet's spirituality is a unique blend of both traditions. But how much influence has Indian spirituality had on the spiritual evolution of Tibet? Are there remnants of Hinduism in Tibetan Buddhism? In this episode of Ask Jason, I will answer a question about if there is a relationship between the path of Dzogchen in Tibetan Buddhism and Bon with Advaita Vedanta in Hinduism. | |||

Alan Watts was famous for asking his audiences if life is serious and this is also expounded by modern-day spiritual teachers such as Sadhguru. But this is nothing new. Eastern spirituality reveals that life fundamentally isn't serious once we transcend the identity/ego we have been trained to become because it is that isolated ego which takes everything seriously due to the illusion of separation.

| 22 Aug 2020 | #7: Why Spirituality Doesn't Need Scientific Validation | 01:29:35 | |
In this podcast, we will explain if spirituality needs scientific validation. A lot of spiritual teachers sing praise of their tradition and spiritual path when science validates some of their ancient spiritual knowledge. But why is it so important for science to validate spirituality's thousands of years of extensive exploration into the nature of consciousness and the universe? Science is essentially the new game in town in regards to the exploration of consciousness and the universe. Why don't science accept the thousands of years of accumulative knowledge gained in Eastern spirituality specifically? The reason is that science itself has its own set of beliefs based on matter is everything, even above and beyond consciousness. This scientific worldview is diametrically opposed to Eastern spirituality because the worldview of the great Eastern traditions is that consciousness is fundamental. This one opposing view and a lot more are what we will unpack in this podcast. Science has its own worldview by which it judges everything, but how does that apply to the great Eastern spiritual traditions which are complete systems in and of themselves. Does spirituality need scientific validation? Find out. | |||
