The Jason Gregory Podcast

One of the most difficult components of wu-wei to master is the doing nondoing element. It can be easy to be constantly in a state of nondoing when we disengage from the world. But what happens when we integrate back with society? Can we act from a place of wu-wei, making our actions effortless? In this episode of Ask Jason, I will answer the concerns people have when it comes to remaining dedicated to wu-wei in our creative life. Essentially, I will address how you can allow your creative workflow to shine with abundance while remaining in the effortless state of wu-wei.

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.

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.

The differences between the nondual paths of Taoism and Vedanta and the dualistic paths of Yoga and Samkhya are many. But both nondual and dual paths are reconciled in their foundation of experience which is interpreted differently according to each overarching philosophy. In this episode of Ask Jason, I will answer a question in regards to the fundamental similarities that reconcile the differences, showing that at the core of even dualistic systems such as Yoga and Samkhya, there is a nondual basis that one cannot ignore.

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.

In this podcast, we will explore why our nature is warped and how to become pure again. The great Eastern spiritual traditions explain that we are fundamentally good and it is all of the indoctrination we go through that warps our nature leading to insane people. The game of life in Eastern spirituality, then, is about unraveling ourselves from all of this conditioning, so we can be who we truly are.

In this podcast, we will explore the nature of the soul in Eastern spirituality. It is a far more complex theory than that of Western philosophy and religions. The Eastern view of the soul is grounded in a scientific understanding of the our mind-body relationship to consciousness. This Eastern perspective gives us clarity on the nature of reincarnation and if in fact an actual individual soul really exists.

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. If you want me to answer your questions, please ask post them to my social media accounts or through my website with #AskJason.

In this podcast, we will explore the mind of the great Eastern sages and how they differ from us mere mortals. To understand the difference we will unpack the research in cognitive science and also the different wisdom found in Taoism, Buddhism, and Hinduism. This podcast is a journey from the relative view of reality into the absolute view, as explored by great sages such as Zhuangzi, where partiality dissolves to reveal the true impartial oneness of life.

For a while I've been planning a podcast, but I wanted to do it right and not short-change the project. So finally I'm glad to say that my first episode of the podcast is up and I'm joined by my partner in crime and life, Gayoung, to discuss the finer points of Eastern philosophy which only a long format can provide. My podcast is about diving deep into the mystical depths of the world of Eastern spirituality. In this podcast, we discuss the history and philosophy of yoga and its relevance in a time of crisis, along with a lot of other topics. I hope you all enjoy.
