WU WEI: The Art of Letting Things Happen

[wakeupfreanz]

Spirituality + Info Recommendations

These are just some sources/youtube channels I find interesting that some of you might also find interesting. Don't overthink it lol.

Religion for Breakfast: I like this guy, you can learn a lot of things in a short "fun fact" kind of form.

Einzelgänger: Great resource for philosophy and daoism/taoism. Good for grounding yourself from the zealot noise in the community. (remember to balance yourself, its too easy to get lost in it all)

Philosophies For Life: More philosophy, also includes some older psychology. Take from this what you will, I just find it interesting lol.

LetsTalkReligion: More exploration of spirituality.

Joey Yap: To be franky, he's kind of a tech dudebro, but he's a pretty okay introduction into BaZi (aspect of Chinese Astrology), Qimen, and feng shui. If you do the birth chart thing, use a fake phone number with a real email. (protect your privacy guys)

YiMingMedicine: More help for your BaZi chart. Also includes some medical BaZi if you're into connecting the spiritual with the physical.

Dohwadore: If you know even a lick of korean, this guy can help you with self reading your saju chart. (Saju is Korean fortune telling. Also i meant more like if you're well into intermediate in korean lol.) What is Saju? (with eng sub)

Major Project - Research in Following the Tao

This article talks about following the Tao practiced in Daoism (which can be called Taoism as well). This example is more about what following the Tao means and how.

"The Tao is the natural flow of existence in which things aren’t forced or controlled but allowed. This means that it’s not entirely clear who or what is the doer, and who or what is being done. Things just happen, so it seems. The flow of existence is something we can live by or resist. If we follow the Tao, our lives will be easy. But if we try to resist, our lives will be difficult."

Wu-wei | The Art of Letting Things Happen

Einzelgänger

30 sep.

2021

Despite humanity’s technological developments and will to progress, we’re still utterly dependent on nature. Human effort has its limitations and is always in conjunction with nature. We cannot grow a plant, for example, completely isolated from natural growth, even though we can influence and manipulate it.

The reputed author of the Tao Te Ching, Lao Tzu, stated that the world governs itself. It doesn’t need our intervention. As Lao Tzu wrote: “When you arrive at non-action, nothing will be left undone.” End quote. This idea resembles the basic understanding of the paradoxical concept “wu-wei.”

But when we look for a definition of wu-wei, we quickly discover that there isn’t one fixed meaning.

Some translate wu-wei as “non-action,” or “doing nothing,” others as “actionless action,” and others as “effortless action.”

We find out that Taoism offers several layers, if you will, regarding how wu-wei can enhance our relationship with the world. And how this ancient art of “letting things happen” doesn’t necessarily make us passive, ignorant bystanders but can actually improve how we act, leading to better outcomes.

This video (Wu-wei | The Art of Letting Things Happen) serves as a humble attempt to make the depth of this philosophical idea clear and practical.
