Enlightenment is the Natural State of Humans

Ever feel like you’re drowning in ideas, realizations, or life-changing “aha” moments? That’s not a problem—it’s progress.

In the inaugural Episode (1-1) of Living the Tao, Taoist Master Mikel Steenrod dives into what insight really is, how it functions in Taoist practice, and why true enlightenment means returning to your natural state. You’ll learn about the distinction between social mind and tao mind, how to work with your “ness,” and why Taoist methods were designed to make enlightenment not only possible—but practical.

Explore:

• Why insights are not rare

• The difference between temple, mystery, and hermit traditions

• The real definition of enlightenment in the Four Ascendant School

• Why you might be having too many insights (and that’s okay)
