After my own early awareness, I started on this path in the mid 90s reading books on Taoism by Daniel Reid. Mostly on a balcony overlooking the Ocean at City Beach, with a family of magpies and my wife as company. The Freemantle Doctor was a regular and welcomed visitor. I know this book will be very good indeed.

BOOM! I'm excited to announce that I have a new book coming out September 30 called 'The Tradition of Natural Taoism: The Way of Free and Easy Wandering in Oneness.' This book has been a long time coming and is finally upon us. As you all know, it is very important for every author to get as many pre-orders as possible before the publication date. Pre-orders ensure that the message of my book will reach as many readers as it needs to in the world. To pre-order, please hit this link: amzn.to/4aD3X6B Some peers have said that this is the most important book on Taoism written for quite some time and that it is truly unique. I will let you all be the judge. Below is the synopsis for the book and also the praise it has received thus far. Let's make 2025 the year Taoism was reclaimed from modernity so that its true natural tradition can be revived.
SYNOPSIS
• Draws on source texts of the Tao Te Ching and the Chuang-tzu for ways to achieve skills effortlessly through unity with the Tao
• Explains how Taoism is a spiritual technology for deprogramming ourselves from socialization and dissolving the ego
• Explores concepts of wu-wei (nonaction) and xiaoyao you (free and easy wandering in oneness) in order to realize our unfiltered true nature
The author provides a comprehensive exploration and restoration of Taoism’s original teaching, giving readers a fresh take on this ancient philosophy of oneness.
By returning to the source texts of the Tao Te Ching and the Chuang-tzu, Jason shows how to gain skills effortlessly through alignment with the Tao and overcome the limitations of reason. Since Lao-tzu and Chuang-tzu, Taoists have navigated a world detached from the Tao. This detachment continues to expand due to external forces and materialism. Taoism is a means to break free from imposed socialization, liberating us from the suffering inherent in a society built upon ideologies and materialism. In contrast to Confucianism, which offers social morality, Taoism is a spiritual technology for deprogramming ourselves from socialization and reactions of the ego. Jason shows that such programming can impede the spontaneous flow that is central to this path. Like other non-dual systems, Taoism seeks to dissolve identity so the undifferentiated nature of the Tao can make full use of the liberated being. We reconnect with the Tao by dissolving the binaries of reason and achieving xiaoyao you, “free and easy wandering in oneness,” which is the final teaching on the Taoist path. This book shows the way to become what Taoists call a Zhenren—an authentic person or enlightened sage.
The Tradition of Natural Taoism offers wisdom to liberate us from the suffering inherent in a materialistic culture and reconnect us with our unfiltered true nature.
PRAISE
"In this profound work, Philosopher Jason Gregory warns us about the mass trivialization of Taoism. He uses his sharp discernment and his deep understanding of various Non-dual Schools to help the modern reader understand the unspoken pitfalls that accompany this Ancient Way. This book will give deep clarity to those who are called to flow effortlessly in the primordial river of Tao but find themselves perpetually obstructed by their deeply rooted habits of self-preservation. The time-honoured virtues of humility, simplicity, and non-striving are elucidated brilliantly by the author which offers the modern mind (otherwise hypnotized by vain ambitions), a possibility of venturing on the path of non-becoming. In our increasingly social world, the naked simplicity of The Way is not easy to follow, and "The Tradition of Natural Taoism" is the much-needed guide that bridges this gap of understanding and allows the reader to embrace the natural naturalness that is Tao."
Swami Atmananda Udasin, Advaita teacher and Head monk of Ajatananda Ashram, Rishikesh (India)
"This book is a wonderful summation of Taoist philosophy. Author Jason Gregory presents this cosmology clearly, concisely, and with great depth of understanding. If you want to gain a fuller understanding of commonly used terms such as the void, yin and yang, and nonduality, this book is for you."
Susan Campbell, Ph.D., author of Getting Real and From Triggered to Tranquil
"This book provides the reader with a different perspective and understanding of the Tao (Dao) and Taoist texts. If you are interested in Tao, it is a profound reference book for your study."
Dr. Yang, Jwing-Ming, author of The Root of Chinese Qigong and The Dao De Jing: A Qigong Interpretation
"This is an interestingly complex yet ultra-simple book. It calls upon you to use your left brain for meaning and structure and your right brain, heart, and body to recognize the simple truths you see all around you in nature—and align with them for greater harmony—without great will power or effort. It is certainly time we made life less confusing and distracting, and to settle into the calm center that we can recognize as Self, Truth, and Compassion. Jason has written many clarifying and inspiring books and this one is a real wakeup call!"
Penney Peirce, author of Transparency, Leap of Perception, and Frequency
