Trailer | The Fractured Self

What if the reason you cannot make yourself do something is not a lack of discipline—but a divided self? In this trailer for Living the Tao Episode 1-198, The Fractured Self, Taoist Master Mikel Steenrod explores the gap between what we say we want and what deeper parts of us may actually be doing. The episode begins with three simple possibilities: unwilling, unable, or uneducated. From there, it moves into a deeper Taoist problem—how the socially conditioned self becomes fragmented, how that fragmentation interferes with choice and capability, and why spiritual development requires more than outward compliance. The goal is not simply greater control. It is greater internal coherence. Listen to the full episode on Supercast.
