In this episode, we look at chapter 56, one of the most directive and imperative chapters in the Tao te Ching. The first half of the episode sets the stage for the chapter, then I break down four of the central commands in the chapter and how we see them exemplified in the life of Jesus:

1. Blunt your sharpness - the sharp edge of arrogance

2. Untie your knots - the complexities of personal interactions

3. Soften your brightness - public displays of intelligence and pride

4. Become one with the dust - staying in touch with the material world

5. Summing it all up in one word: integrity
