Trailer | A Table in Your Mind

In this trailer for Living the Tao – Episode 1-164, Mikel Steenrod introduces a traditional Taoist mind-training drill drawn from the oral tradition.

The exercise begins with a simple image: a group of people seated comfortably around a table, discussing what the outdoors is like. A door stands nearby. Everyone knows it leads outside. Anyone could open it. Yet no one does.

From this setup emerges a deeper exploration of comfort, consensus, direct experience, and why truth is often discussed rather than encountered. This episode does not offer conclusions or doctrine. Instead, it presents a tool—one designed to be revisited, examined, and experienced over time.
