The Five Elements of Taoism_Earth

Ordained Taoist and multi-disciplinary therapist David James Lees discusses the Tao of love and relationships. David offers practical and spiritual wisdom and advice as he explores the three main areas of ‘emotional misunderstanding’ that he encounters when dealing with love and relationship issues with his clients.  

The Tao of Love and Relationships by David James Lees

What Would Confucius Do? What for that matter would Laozi not do? This week on Sinica, Kaiser and Jeremy ask these and other questions of Sam Crane, Professor of Contemporary Chinese Politics at Williams College and author of the new book Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Dao. And given that this show explores uniquely Chinese ideas of how to live a life through right action, and how ancient Chinese philosophy might be applied to contemporary American ethical challenges, we are also delighted to be joined by Jeremiah “Honorable Mencian” Jenne, scholar of Qing history, popular China blogger, and now Director of the IES immersion program.

Your Yin Yang Mind and Inner-Child by David James Lees

i didn't sleep last night
could barely close my eyes, 
without blinking
so much on my mind
relative contradictory thinking

what is time, what is true
what am i, what are you
what is yellow mixed with blue
what would buddha do

what is love what is fire
how do i transcend desire
and fly into the sky

zhaungzi sat under a tree
as he smiled at the sun
because his head was empty and he 
had returned to the one

perfect harmony with the tao the now
i call it
It

It is 
It is everything
It is no thing
It is the negation of nothing
It is something

does it seem complex? a paradoxical mess
i digress let's take a breath and reflect
on the absurdity of the phenomena that we subjectively perceive as the objective totality of reality

... it's pretty crazy when you think about it

It is time, It is true
It is i, It is you
It is yellow mixed with blue
It is what buddha would do
It is love, It is fire
It transcends desire

It is the sky....
