I remember the show by heart by somehow I forgot about most of it, because I hated the Stella storyline
But it’s really memorable, every episode is iconic and really well written
I’d argue it may be it’s golden era of the show.
On my infinite rewatch and I noticed so much foreshadowing for them
as the days go by and I progress in my mental journey I realize how much choice we have over ourselves and how letting fear control you is engaging the loop, ingating this cycle feeling you have control over your fears stops you from actually dealing with it
Less taoistic and more so psychological but still worth mentioning since it’s yet again another one’s of life wonderful paradoxes.
And can therefore be “solved” with more of less.
Because I definitely had episodes I’ve seen 100+ times.
Mine would be:
1x1 pilot
3x8 spoiler alert
And maybe 6x10 the blitz
Those are episodes I’m pretty confident I remember every single line but than again it may be every episode at this point lol
Probably seems obvious, but I spent so many time in the zen mindset I started to develop a resentment towards capitalism thought and the other side of the coin, it only now hit my mind that the more Taoist approach is to accept what that opposites are what creates development, and the more I hate and try to ignore the other side I therefore create unnecessary friction and only hurt myself.
Sounds complicated but I stated a new job and suddenly I feel emptier and less myself because I am used to being alone using philosophy to guide myself, and I’m honestly more fulfilled by doing nothing which is more than doing something. I am most happy by going out alone and eating something just being there feeling my surroundings.
I understand I may need to get used to it but I want to stay in that position where doing less I feel much more functioning
Maybe something about the holy trinity?
Maybe a paradoxical question by taoism terms but do you agree?
‘Cause i do
Is ir similar to something as chi?
For me, the yin-yang was always a symbol of hope in tough mental times and throughout a long period, I heard about the tao and tried to get into it but never fully invested and understood it.
Until I was enrolled into a mental balancing house (fitting) and there met a teacher named “Amitai” which studied the Tao and lived in China for 7 years and also lived in Shaloin temples, I don’t even remember how we got to this topic but straight ahead he started to explain to me and other students about the principles of the Tao and Lao Tzu’s teaching.
He was a Sports teacher, but ever since I came in his lessons were solely Taoistic and started to influence the other teens, we formed a group and invented the term “Shaoling Power” which was a joke started by some crazy teen that we used as a real term, simillar to “Te” and the inner power within.
But the most interesting thing about this story that most of the principles he taught was things I already believed in and were inside me.
Mine is probably 1 still, actually concises most of the principles in a few sentences
I recognize taoist patterns and motifs in every conversation and situation, and see reality as truly non-competitive and fully up to interpretation
Can you relate?
I personally have a strong issue of guilt about the past, and because my mental state is very unstable (bi polae) I burnt bridges and my emotions are just being held then explodes.
Everytime I remember past friendships and memories I get overwhelmed by this sense of guilt and regret and what worsens it is that I have to find “the answer” and what I did wrong.
I relate to Taoism because of “the unseen path” and the approach that we should release the desire to find the answer and how it paradoxically heals a part of me.
