Hi, Tod and Carl
I listen to your podcast regularly. Thank you for all the nice and interesting discussions. Now I was a bit surprised you guys didn’t discuss the role of the first quote you cited from the Inner Chapters in daoist meditation practices. I practice the Xin Zhai Fa (mind fasting) method that is based upon that quote, according to some sources I read. But, like in most daoist texts, words and meaning are linked by a lot of mystery, so It would have been nice from my perspective to hear Carl’s take on that link. Maybe you discussed that in another show, I’ve only listened to the first 17, still some way to go. If you haven’t yet it’s an idea for a future show.
Cheers and may the Dao be with you.
