Hey everyone! It's good to meet you all!

Well, for years I thought there was something wrong with me, and then I came across Tao and realized that I've been a Taoist all my life without ever realizing it! Unlike the rest of my family I've drifted along - much to the frustration of many - just letting things happen when they were ready... and not a moment before! wink.gif

For most of my conscious spiritual quest in the last few years I've been very much influenced by Buddhism, however more recently I've been very inspired by Taoism - I love it's earthiness, and I feel a real intuitive understanding of the nature of Tao itself. At the same time, I've still got lots to learn about the philosophy itself, and the specific practices involved, since I've not read all that much as yet. I have the beautiful Tao Te Ching, which I return to from time to time, and I've just finished reading a book called Tao, by Osho. Except for a few bits n bobs on the internet, that's about it... but then, it's not the reading that matters... and in a way I feel that the less I have read, the better!

I'm not sure what I am, I just call myself a spiritual anarchist, which extends in both directions of the sacrad and the profane - the spiritual and the political... after all, all such distinctions are illusory anyways!

Anyways.. I look forward to crossing paths with everyone here, and to see what ripples on from there smile.gif

Peace wink.gif

Welcome to the forum. I am glad to see someone else that made this wonderful discovery. I also felt the same as you. I have lived 32 years of my life just thinking that I was the only one who had this outlook. It is very refreshing to see that others are making this wonderful discovery also.
