You find the universal DAO the living energy consciousnesses stream of life or being i e. God for Christians "living God" hidden in the fabric of reality always there.... DAO the unseen forces that amount to universal God minds... Its all the same, you find the same being just different interpretation for it... Its timeless, there is no time in it, it is the fabric of reality itself. One with it. You find them in both feminine 👠👠 👗 collective many feminine but aggressive tones, and One singular Masculine 👞👞♂️ Energy, soft and drawing almost sensitive like Christ but rough as Satanic could be if you step out of line, it's an instant shift in energies.... I'd say "God" or source shows up as the only Male authority 👞👞♂️ accompanied by a bunch of feminine entourage presence that do the work of roughing up for him 👇kinda like a panel ... Some are nicer and others more rough. Then they merge into One singular mind, or one single energy source where you can't tell them apart but they're all there, they come apart separate as individuals then form thought as One consciousness unable to tell which is which or what is what. They become One thought. Think of it as, your eyes being the portal to the mind.... Energy flows in a stream of energy like water 🌊 then you're the vessel body hollow, still here, but empty of form or self or being, Now you can see and sense fabric of reality as part of this vessel body, and only Spirit (consciousness) exists... Because it is moving timelessly with the fabric of reality, so the only thing that remains is your essence.... Your mind goes into Hawkeye absorbs the fabric itself vast ... Flying you go mentally or in spirit hard to say or tell... Fly 🕊️ fasterrrrrrr now you're embedded into the fabric itself, ta da, you're timeless like magic ✨ I think the Christiana call it, "dreadful to come into the hands ✋✋ of the living God" lol 😂 it's living alright.... It is conscious everywhere.... Feeling and seeing and living everything... 😅he sends his hello 👋

I read the Tao Te Ching for the first time a couple years ago, and couldn’t believe how it seemed be exactly how I perceived life. The synchronicity of the universe and the flow of just letting things unfold how they may. I used to have this saying “I live my life like a leaf in the wind”. I can attest that if you let go, everything will be.

Exactly. I feel like I've been like this naturally, if anything, almost everyone around me tried to push me away from this kind of life. People perceived my calmness about watching life unfold in front of me with little to no effort as something bad, even after it lead me to great things I would have never achieved if I tried hard. Ironically, none of these people had achieved what I had and yet ... I listened to them. I listened to the "if you don't have a plan, you're part of someone else's plan" the "you should plan your future now so you don't suffer later" so, I resisted myself and tried to actually have a plan and work "hard" to achieve it. I saw everyone around me working "hard" so I thought, it's not fair that I had success with minimal effort, I must try "hard" too, I must worry about "future" too. Fuck that... After about 5 years of "trying hard", all it had caused me is pain, suffering, complete exhaustion and burn out. I felt like a complete failure like it's impossible to control life. Here I am today watching a video about Wu-Wei, realising I was on the right path before and I let people sway me from it. This is a point were life is bringing me back to where I was. In fact, this is a very important moment of my life, I'm going back to going with the flow of my life, I'll stop "having a plan" and trying to bend reality to achieve it, fuck that man.

@@yuzan3607 Im exactly the same boat as you. During my better years (16-22, Im 26) I was following this way of thinking without knowing it. I always thought to go with the flow and do the best you can with what you have, basically make the most of what you got. And it worked super well, I didn't have to try that hard to succeed. I agree with the feeling of "its not fair for other to try so hard and not get the same result as my minimal effort". A lot of my peers believed that was a lazy way of going about my studies and life. I let that get to me and began changing due to peer pressure and societal pressure. Obviously, even friends started saying it to me, family as well. I believed them and paid it with 4 years of my life where I "tried hard" and got nothing but fat, stressed, mentally ill, an addiction to weed, and a marriage that was falling apart. That started a cascade of problems that until NOW Im getting around to resolving. It truly is an amazing thing and I take it down as a huge lesson learned. Much love and compassion to you!

Wu Wei best describes how I've lived my life, though I don't subscribe to any belief system. If I set a goal in the morning to change the breaks on my truck, I get the tools together, go over the procedure and begin. If I run into a series of obstacles, I let it go, set it aside and choose something else to do with my time that day. I work on the obstacles and return to the task another day. This approach to life caused me problems with my marriage, as my wife took a polar opposite approach to life. She would put her head down and stubbornly drive forward determined to succeed. I saw her unhappy and frustrated a lot. She felt my approach was lazy and would lead to never getting anything done. Ultimately, she divorced me saying we were incompatible, and she couldn't be happy with me. I have two masters programs, a teaching credential, an administration credential and was a county commissioner. I wrote several million dollars worth of grants over my career in education which created jobs in my community and moved families from dependence on government assistance to independence. I own three timber properties in two states, own , maintain, repair and operate heavy equipment as well as a sawmill. I build furniture. I built my first house starting in 1981. I'm building another now. My former wife left me for another man, then left him for yet another, and I'm told she will be leaving that one as well soon. She has a vision of what she wants her life to look like, and she has spent her life chasing that vision and trying to force it into reality, her perceived reality. I have always let life be. I put forth effort every day, but have no expectations. What will come is what will come, and I accept that.

Although the video looks great, I find some issues with the content. For one, wuwei means not not doing, but being devoid of acting. So it refers to reactive natural acting to fit into a situation. Like non purposeful participation, without agenda. The action you describe belongs to ideas of song dynasty neo-confucianism, just like the Taiji diagram you use. The style of acting is taiji-acting. Which also is using naturality, but through polarisation (Taiji) action, so with an agenda, opportune acting or timely action if you wish. Wuwei relates to wuji in daoism. It is being devoid of polarity, from which things spontaneously arise, following Dao.

“无为”is more than that of the spoken truth. “无为”does not relate from The means of quantum physics. However quantum physics is "youwei" .“有为” Impermanent. With the help of existing quantum physics make it easier to comprehend "wuwei" “无为”。 For example a piece of gold and a piece of stone . In the view of “无为” .The existence of both the gold and stone are equal. In the view of "youwei"/"有为” "The masses can never be equal ". In order for one to understand the true aspect of happiness one does not even needed the existence in the first place. No matter how you breakdown a particle you can never hide the existence . Nor one can destroy the term "existence". The possibilities of allowing any life to cross over to the empowerment of life but not the observed proof of the basic sensory of our sight and hearing and even feel. “无为”is the directive to further maturing our five senses with an insight of the sixth. The process of harnessing the impact experiences of all five sensory onto the sixth over and over till one found the path into the roots where all senses meet . The seventh null/numbness the 7th sensory ability . It's not the end but it's the link to the cerebral(not the brain) of life imprint . That's the eighth source of our sensory. That's all the takes that make up all the thinking and thoughts in the split of time and space . That one actually thinks its 'I'. What "无为”.means that to go beyond the eight stages of mind or 19 dimensional of the multiverse that we only see as a universe as the majority. Based in traditional Buddha's teaching from India since Gautama Buddha times. Please forgive my poor English as I am lost of words in for translation . I do hope more Western scholar would take on the challenge to personally go thru all the level as I mentioned to be so called Enlightened. I am sorry some words of the English were too mandated and might misleading one away from Buddhas' words himself. I do know a true teacher who was really enlightened as from the type of distinction that I stated. Be prepared for Chinese text translation as critical meaning from Chinese words in Sutra , Were translated by about 3thousand monks (both India and Chinese monk involved)from Sanskrit to Chinese since Tang dynasty. Please check up his medical records personally . Don't take my words for it please. Please. 无为Wuwei is the path , the opportunity , the ability , the simplest way of freedom , the greatest courage to solve all fear , the answer to all questions a mind who seek , the blind who need no physical eyes to be able to view , the deaf who needed no sound to understand vibration, Most of all the wisdom to liberate those who seek help to themselves.

Bullshit !!! Wu Wei does not mean do nothing or effortless living. Daoism is not about living a negative, passive, and pessimistic life. Daoism is about living a vibrant, positive, and optimistic life of joy and beauty. Water can be seen as Wu Wei. But water is not doing nothing. The strength of water is in its persistency in doing what it does and never give up. If humans are like water, there is nothing humans cannot do. Therefore, let be but never let go. Go with our desires and enjoy life to its fullest is the way of the Dao. Think of it this way, we have desires because of Dao. Without Dao, there is nothing. Act on our Dao and make the inevitable inevitable. May the love and the peace of Jesus be with us.

The concept of "wu wei" in my opinion is that the universe does everything that happens, literally. We are children of the universe (we are the universe) and our thoughts is basically the universe thinking, not the ego. The universe does what's going on in one's mind (brain impulses and etc.) the same way it makes planets spin and everything else that happens. Technically you follow the Dao even if you don't realize it.
