Send us a textWhat's up to my perspicacious pelicans and crafty kookaburras! Welcome back the BNP and thank you for joining! To my patrons: you all are the blended blueberries in my cashew milk yoghurt, I appreciate you! And thanks for all the flavor and color!  This week's episode is a fun and wild ride into the heady world of Taoism. Taoism is a way of life, attributed to Lao Tzu (c. 500 BC), that emphasizes doing what is natural and "going with the flow" in accordance with the Tao (or Dao), a cosmic force which flows through all things. "Taoism is the way of man's cooperation with the course or trend of the natural world, whose principles we discover in the flow patterns of water, gas, an fire, which are subsequently memorialized or sculptured in those of stone and wood, and, later, in many forms of human art."    - Alan WattsAlso included in this week's episode is the latest audio from Barbarian Yak Fest, the BNP's new video show (available on Rumble here). Joining for the BYF is the fantastical Romus Gobson, a great friend and stellar gentleman. We chat about all sorts of stuff, including what it was like living in the Bay Area during the bonkers Covid restrictions, as well as the nature of existence and the soul. You know, another light chat here in the Barbarian Lair. Also included in the ep is a solo discussion of the Spiritual Adversary (that dark force which directly causes unnecessary suffering) here on Earth, and how to transcend and defeat it.
