First reading & discussion of Chapter 6 ("The Great and Venerable Teacher") of the Chuang Tzu (translated by Burton Watson), with commentary on core Taoist views & principles.
Main themes include: the nature of existential freedom; dogmatic social assumptions vs. expanded view; knowing vs. unknowability; human desire & essential values; conventional assumptions vs. non-dual reality; fate, destiny & "making harmony" with all.
Related teachings from the Ra Material, Advaita Vedanta, Pali Canon Buddha-Dhamma, transpersonal psychology & personal experience.
