I love how much dedication you bring to promote and explain Taoist teachings and principles. 🙂
I am passionate about it brother, thank you for watching!!
"The heart and mind follow the feet." Thanks, George!
You are becoming a truly wonderful teacher.
Storytime!! I enjoyed, i learned. Calming . Thank you very much GT 👍👍👍👍👍
I am so so glad you’re making videos ❤️ I have loved following your journey and watching you grow. You’re so inspiring man 🙏🏻☺️
I love your videos man, keep it up
☯️❤️☯️
The mind is like looking into a river. When it's still, we can "see and hear" ourselves better. A very gradual process. It's so important to give ourselves permission to be our true self. To go into a journey within. Slowly, day by day.
Thank you Brother
Thank you for sharing your journey, our journey, the journey of all humanity. Beautifully done.
Thank you 🙏🏽💚
Everytime I watch your videos, I grow so thoughtful and wiser. Great work as always, George.
Gratitude to you!
🙏
Responsibility - the ability to control our responses!
Haha, George said "bum". 🤣.
Thank you for the story's.
Yes, and share your joy with everyone you meet.
Beautiful, thank you for posting, have a great day, and keep warm over there.
Thank you, George! It is heartwarming to listen to you sharing this wisdom, and to see the joy and light shining from you. Sharing your own gifts in this way is a great service to the world.
Thank you Julia! ☯️🌿❤️
Heaven in action! Love it!...
I’m going to make sure everyone knows that’s what I am! 🤣
You’re doing great work George. The world is so sharply divided across cultural and political lines. It’s easy to get lost in these divisions. But your work is highlighting just how “untrue” this is. We have way more in common with people from an entirely different culture and time than we do differences.
Even if I don’t “get” the moral of the stories. I “get” how they demonstrate the commonalities between my experience as a typical modern American with those of a sage from ancient China.
We couldn’t be more disparate in culture and environment. But our experience as human is really no different. It encourages a sense of brotherhood to “see” that.
Thank you for the reminder. Great lessons from a great teacher.
I love all your videos. Thank you for posting them. There's a definite need for them.
George Thompson is a wise Druid - you are awesome, great work.
Thank you…….keep them coming🙏🌺💕😊
Thank you so much for all your videos George. Your voice and the topics you talk about sooth my soul. Thanks again!
Thanks George. Very much appreciated 🙏
The joy of life is to share what we actually love.
You are such a darling! I have been following your channel and remember my first encounter with taoism and ever since have dreamt I will go to Wudang. For years. You give me hope it will happen. Chuang Tze is fantastic! Thank you for sharing these short stories. Be blessed!
I've been really struggling with anxiety and depression and your videos help remove myself from it for a bit. Thank you so much for all your efforts

What a lovely way to share these stories! Zhuangzi and Hui Shi are such an adorable duo. Without Hui Shi's silliness, Zhuangzi's lessons in wisdom would not be as amusing.
Thank you George. You bring the Tao wisdom so simply, quite and joyfully.
The way you talk is very authentic and clear. I wonder what brought you to China 4 years ago?
Thank you for sharing this message. The world needs to hear it.
Thanks so much these videos genuinely make me so much happier
Thank you so much for sharing this!
Cherishing your unquiness 🥰Thank you❤

Yes mate!!! Just fucking YEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSS!!!!!
✌️🙏🧘♂️
I love Zhuangzi's "Useless Tree" Story!!! :)
I would love to give you an unlimited thumps up for this video. Marvelous work! ;)
Well done. I watch this video in the dentist chair. I have a tooth to be pulled. "Let go let Tao" is a terrific mantra for now.
Lovely stories
Greetings from Australia
Thanks 🙏
thank you George 🙏
Lovely evening viewing George. Fascinating stuff and superbly presented. Hope you have a super year and looking forward to joining in your adventures via CZcams.
Beautiful setting you are sitting in
Your journey is amazing
Amazing always good to hear you talk
I really loved this a lot! Your storytelling and voice is so nice.
It's like I know these things deep down, I practice them everyday, but as soon as I get lost in my head and emotions (pain patterns), I completely forget about them. I'm sick now, and meditating on having no goals in life, just living an experience and enjoying it, and it saddens me so deeply, it's surprising... thank you George.
Your videos are great in every way. Thank you for sharing 😍
Haven’t seen George for ages . Glad he seems to be doing well .
Adaption is key to happiness!
Refreshing thank you
Thank you very much for sharing this ✨
The message that every thing and every one has a purpose, actually cleared my mind a bit ☺️
Excellent! Thank you!
Saw this when I needed these reminders :) Thank you 🙏
Thanks to you I've discovered you, Master Gu and Daoism/Taoism.
Kind Regards from Italy George♥️

Great video as usual, George.
Thanks for the video. Zhuang Tsu is really nice to read.
Thanks for these George ;) ☯
So much wisdom in these beautiful stories and your heart felt way of explaining everything is wonderful. Time for some qigong now after being reminded that "The heart and mind follow the feet". Very much looking forward to more insights with your upcoming course too George. Thank you so much for all that you do.
Grateful for you Debbie. Glad you found the stories valuable!
The gourd story makes me think about how fun it can be to smash things. So they were useful to him to release his frustration. Nothing lost - its seeds are spread and the rest serves to fertilise the soil.
Very beautiful and deep stories! Thank you!
Great learnings you are sharing.
Very timely video
Thanks👍
You do seem more joyful George. A good reminder. Yes, Heaven in Action is a magnificent thought.
A chair or a water tank are more exciting than a bag! Wonderful stories and landscape. Thank you for sharing Shuangzi and Hui Shi stories.
This is my first time watching you and i love your video brother! Keep it up. ❤️
Thanks for your great work, George! A messenger of the Tao.
Thank you ! Feel so lucky to find this channel. 🤗
Thank you for bringing us closer to ourselves 🙏
Thanks for the stories. Going through stressful times but trusting that i will be alright and things will fall into place where and how they may. My cat i shealthy and we have a roof and food, we're cozy, so it's fine. Forget the rest ❤️
So much wisdom in the 3 simple ancient stories. Thank you George for yet another amazingly inspiring video 🙏🏻😘
bows of gratitude George for your generosity of heart in sharing Taosim. although i'm a Buddhist practitioner and meditation teacher, my roots are in Zen and Taosim informs Zen much, so i've always felt a deep resonating appreciation and respect for Taosim and Tao as the source of all things and our connective interdependent thread. i enjoy, appreciate, and learn from your teaching. your open heart and your steady mind shine in sharing the Taoist wisdom. ~j
I have enjoyed watching you along your path, and U have given me some wisdom and gladness along mine. May I suggest that the Devine Mother may give some guidance toward your path, for the religions of Wicca, and Taoism follow deep in the path,though the forest of enlightenment. Blessed Be
I really enjoyed the stories. 💗❤💖
