A philosopher has the unique challenge of expressing that which is beyond us through the limitations of language. For many, this is done through a series of logical arguments; for the Taoist philosopher Zhuangzi 莊子 the Way of Nature, called Tao 道 is best approached in another way, through the powerful, poetic language of metaphor. Zhuangzi sets the tone through the marvelous image of the mythological Peng 大鵬 bird which rises beyond the limits of our understanding. Yet, we will see, even the lofty Peng can affect our lives.

Is everything you know about business wrong? Alastair Dryburgh is a contrarian who taught himself to think differently so that he can help businesses that want to remaster themselves. For 10 years, Alastair penned a monthly column for Management Today titled, ‘everything you know about business is wrong', which is why he's the perfect guest for The Melting Pot. Because if your business is suffering and you can't figure out what the problem is, maybe Alastair can help. Alastair is a recovering finance director who studied maths at Cambridge University. While becoming an FD was a natural career path, it never made him happy, which is why he segued into the world of business reengineering and crisis management. Alastair happily acknowledges he's a bit weird as it allows him to look at business from a different perspective, a perspective that most business owners can't see for themselves. Download and listen to this latest episode to hear Alastair discussing fundamental attribution error, which is what's stopping people from seeing reality for what it really is. He also talks about recruitment, and whether people see curiosity as an opportunity or as a threat. And why those that are threatened by change, don't get curious, they just get angry. This is such a fascinating conversation with Alastair, we're sure you'll enjoy it as much as we did.On today's podcast:WTF consultationsUnknown knownsFundamental attribution errorThe trouble with recruitment Business RemasteredLinks:Twitter – @acddryburghLinkedIn – Alastair DryburghWebsite – www.wtfconsult.comBook - Everything You Know About Business Is WrongBook - Business Remastered

Hugo and Josh discuss different forms of regulation - from state to social to economic - and examine the characteristics and consequences tied to each of them.

TAOISM Among other ample contemplations of Tao, this single word directs an intricate philosophy, an outlook of the basics of nature and the whole universe. Rather than dismaying and deteriorating the unfathomable unity of the universe, Tao encourages the human to export this unity further among themselves through a particular path. The inevitable question arises: What this path is, and how it may be achieved? The acquisition of this path commences with the basic contemplation of the origin of the universe. A well- said quote by a Chinese sage states that, "Knowing the ancient beginning is the essence of the way." Taoist thoughts reflect on ingeniousness, longevity and continuance, health and soundness, eternity and afterlife, detachment and indifference, refinement and emptiness, transformation and Omni-potentiality. Taoism, a religious and philosophical tradition, has its roots planted in reverence to nature and devotion of the ancient Chinese people. 1. YIN AND YANG Yin and Yang are one of the most substantial and pivotal ideas of Taoism. Yin and Yang showcase two halves that complete each other when combined. It is a rhetoric statement that something complete is unchanging and inflexible to any modification, therefore, if Ying and Yang are mutilated, their established equilibrium will have deviated from the normal. Both Yin and Yang could be summarized as “the cause of each other”, both precedes each other to seek balance and harmony. In the given symbol, the shady side represents Yin, while the Sunnyside showcase Yang. Together in combination establish a whole. 2. INTERDEPENDENCE OF EVERYTHING According to the already established studies about Taoism, it is evident that Taoist philosophers are moved and influenced by nature. According to their dogma, everything in this universe is accompanied by its complementary opposite; the definition of one thing requires and demands the understanding if its exact opposite. Following this idea, we may say that there is Day when we have Night in our thought process. Hot is opposed by Cold; however, it's to be mentioned that each aspect and its opposite are in a state of flux and change incessantly. Proceeding further, as the fact is established that everything is interdependent, Taoism regards nature as the source of understanding and contemplating life and our post or position in the world. 3. NOURISHING THE SPIRIT To expand and mature the spirit, there are two main aspects of mind: Emotional Mind (Hsin) Wisdom Mind (Yi) Hsin = to awaken and Yin = to control the spirit The study of Taoist philosophy suggests in a cogent fashion that the lack of control leads to insomnia and other various mental abnormalities; however, on the other hand, a firm hold over control helps one achieve remarkable feats in the physical and emotional world. Taoist and Buddhist master this practice to sublimate their emotional and psychological energies. Furthermore, the flourishment of spirit demands the mastery of both emotion and intellect simultaneously. To control and hold the spirit in limits, one must be able to regulate the raw and crude sentiments that activate it in the first place. 4. OBSCURE MOTIVATION AND TAOISM Tao philosophy also holds resemblance to the doctrine and maxim of the evergreen Greek philosopher Socrates: Know Thyself. It translates into the idea that by seeking the inward, mysterious and mystic operation of the mind, the pursuer comes across an undisclosed universe of navel knowledge. Adding to, the convention and understanding of psychological self may lead to the evolution of one's soul.

In today’s episode I have decided to do something rather different. I have chosen a mythic individual at the start of Chinese history, the Yellow Emperor, and have constructed a poem using the story of  his retreat to the Mountains of the West in search of enlightenment at the feet of the sage Guangchengzi. This is one of the earliest stories we have of the search for spiritual illumination and its impact not just on an individual but on the collective which was in deep discord. I believe such a story, myth, or archetype is right for our time. The literary sources for Taoist philosophy are taken from The Secret of the Golden Flower, a book of great importance to Jung. There are also references in the poem to the I Ching, the Book of Changes.
