Old School Taoists were Bad-Ass Demon Hunters for REAL! Super Natural Predators still hunt humans.

Long before Taoism was known for the contemplative poetry and reflective aphorisms in the Tao Te Ching, the OG Taoists were saving the human race from energetic monsters that we call Demons today. This produced the hardcore training and empiricism of ancient Taoism. Learn about the ancient, shamanic roots of Taoism and how “supernatural combat” shaped the Taoist path: a tradition grounded in observation, proof, and balance. From the first adepts who tested their survival methods to the birth of the I Ching as an early diagnostic tool, this is the story of how Taoism learned to endure. Take a walk with Taoist Master Mikel Steenrod and me as we discuss Taoist practice in the Modern Age. The Four Ascendant Spheres Tradition of practical Taoism is accessible to everyone and can be considered the Eastern version of Marcus Aurelius' Stoicism and is very similar to Eckhart Tolle's "Power of Now" Philosophy.
