The Tao of Christ Marshall Davis

The Tao of Christ is a podcast which explores the mystical roots of Christianity, which Jesus called the Kingdom of God, which church historian Evelyn Underhill called the Unitive Life, which Richard Rohr calls the Universal Christ, and which I refer to as Christian nonduality, unitive awareness, or union with God. This is the Tao of Christ.

Nondual Guide to American Politics
In this episode I talk about how to approach American politics - and especially the 2024 election - from a nondual perceptive as nondual awareness.

Nondual Repentance
I have talked about repentance before in a nondual context, but I have not dedicated an entire episode to it. So today I am. The call to repent is normally talked about in moral and ethical terms, but that is just the surface of it. When followed to its end repentance is a path to spiritual awakening. It is the door to what Jesus called the Kingdom of God. Jesus said, “Repent, for the Kingdom of God is at hand.”
This episode has a discussion of the difference between awareness and consciousness, including a discussion of this topic by Nisargadatta Maharaj. -
Apocalypse Now
In this episode I explain how to interpret the apocalyptic passages of the New Testament from a nondual perspective.
-
The Forgiveness of Nonduality
In this episode I explain how the traditional Christian teaching on the forgiveness of sins is insufficient and how complete forgiveness is an expression of Christian nonduality.

Becoming Child Again
In Jesus’ teaching children represented the Kingdom of Heaven. Jesus said, “Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.” Becoming like children is a metaphor that used for what in other spiritual traditions is called enlightenment, awakening, nirvana, liberation, self-realization or any number of other terms. Children know naturally what adults have forgotten. He need to remember what we have forgotten.

Non dual awareness is the Tao of Christ
I'm grateful a friend connected me to Marshall Davis' YouTube channel and podcast in early 2022. In the evolution of my faith in recent years I was looking for better "right" answers. Certitude and the dualist nature of growing up in a fundamentalist cult, followed by years in evangelical churches, convinced me there WERE right answers and I had to find them....even as evangelicalism was showing the rotting of its roots across the movement in recent years.
I read, listened and watched a lot of good material but Marshall Davis speaks truth in a winsome way,with no NEED to please anyone, so I've grown to trust him. There aren't many writers and talkers in media who do that. I've read all his books on Kindle and am beginning to re-read them. Thanks, Marshall!
Wow! So thankful to Marshall!
I am so thankful to have found Marshalls podcast and his books on non duality and Christianity. My path was from zen, tibetan buddist, hatha yoga, advaita vedanta, non duality, Sufism back to christian mystics. I believe in one ultimate truth which is common to the real core of all these. So thankful to find more people sharing their experience and love. 🙏🙏🙏
Part the veil…
I’ve been listening to The Tao of Christ for a couple years now. I grew up with the teachings of Christ but never connected with the Christian church. After surviving a lot of tragedy and seeking a new way to live I found the practices of Yoga and Meditation. I began to learn about eastern teachings such as the Tao, the yoga sutras, and the Gita… these teachings reconnected me to the teachings of Jesus Christ and I began to see that God is bigger and greater than a single perspective. For the first time in my life I felt like I could feel the presence of God and an undeniable connection to all life. Marshall Davis does an amazing job cutting through the illusion of western religion and getting to the heart of what Jesus Christ was trying to tell us. We are all the children of God. Realize the kingdom of God is within us… heaven is here and now. Thank you Marshall for taking the time to share! Love, peace, and joy be with you!
