Taoism is fine when taken with a grain of salt. A lot of it is about conformity, (metaphorical or not) and I just can't agree with that. However, the ideals are neat and it's a great study topic.

I'm also more of a Buddhist myself.

I'm a taoist...at least I believe in everything the Tao Te Ching teaches, but I can't really say I'm a practising taoist because that is hard to do. Someday, maybe when I'm a little older and a little wiser. I guess you can't really practise taoism either. It's more of a way of living...

''Place a monkey in a cage, and it is the same as a pig. Not because it isn't clever and quick, but because it has no place to freely exercise its capabilities"

"When a society is orderly, a fool alone cannot disturb it. To blame the Tao for not working while we are living in a poluted world is like tying down a unicorn from two directions and expecting it to run 1000 miles"

"The institution of rulership should exist to equalize and unify...Spiritual Government is the very best; next best after that is to make it impossible for people to do wrong; next best after that is to reward the worthy and and punish the disruptive. As a balance scale is fair insofar as it weighs things impartially; and a plumb line is fair insofar that it determines straight lines impartially, a ruler who applies the the law without personal likes and dislikes can thereby command"

The Book of Leadership and Strategy - Tsun Tzu or someone... I have stood by some Taoist teachings for over ten years and still do stand by them to a great degree.

there great for your own well being, as is buddhism... I have understood Taoism more since smoking, it is the ever present everything we have... live in.... with great teaching from teachers such as Lao Tzu, one can further appreciate life.....

if you understand Taoism, then you are one step further than anyone else, the fully comprehend the Dao is impossible.....

If you understand Hinduism.... the meanings of Shiva, Vishnu, and Brahma... the deep rooted examples of what they actually serve, FEAR is never existent then....

If you understand buddhism you understand awareness, if you understand awareness, you become familiar with ESP... if you are familiar with ESP you would know hypnosis.....

all great subjects, i have read on all of these, and hope to TEACH, as i hope to LEARN.....

One never stops being a teacher, and One never stops learning

Take it EZ

LOVE IT

I like taoism , buddhism and a few other philosophies but never buy completely into some of the most esoteric claims made by some of the different branches of such. (some sounds like double talk/double think)

[Hemp4billions]

i think its deffinatley double think double talk, but when you go through that yourself you could feel a real connection and come out with enlightenment, becuase when the going gets tough the tough get going...

your a good guy weirdo... but maybe you should take a course on interpreting the bible, its cool what some thigns mean... if you research on the net you WILL be misinformed, not to mention misguided, like the isrealites were followed by ufos and dada dada....

Take a course in interpreting the bible? You mean by a literalist or someone who doesnt take it literally? And which text exactly? The ones that were lost or ignored by the Council (nicea) or what? Which ones are true which ones are false. Your an interesting fellow yourself but ive had live one on one discussions with actual biblical scholars and theologians and they cant agree so what would some penny anny course in a christian school teach me other than that someone not educated on the subject can teach whatever they personally believe?

I'll stick to the archeologists, anthropologists and the linguists who actually have a leg to stand on because they have that pesky thing that so many religious people hate to recognize. What was that word again...evidence...

Pssst I dont get most of my info from that one site , its usually books and discussions with professors
