Hello Tao Bums....!
It looks like I’ve found me a very good forum here!
I’ve come on a bit of a journey to get here too...
Like many of you, im on a path, investigating all that the world has to offer....
My reading and interests have taken me from Ancient Civilizations & Astrology (Fingerprints of the Gods, The Sirius Mystery, A Brief History of Time, etc) to Shamanism (The Teachings of Don Juan etc) through Dreaming, to various Religion (The God Delusion), back to Shamanism & Conscious Exploration (Supernatural, The Cosmic Serpent - DNA & The Origins of Knowledge, DMT - The Spirit Molecule).
Then a shift in interest onto Eastern philosophy & religion (The Tibetan Book of Living & Dying etc) and this is the place that I’ve ended up at.
I was led to this forum from a big old post which I managed to read all the way through: http://www.thetaobums.com/index.php?showtopic=1864 some of you will probably remember this one, and although Im about 2 years late, it was this post, John Chang & The Magus of Java that led me to this forum & community.
I’ve literally scratched the surface of Taoism & other eastern practice, but im keen to learn. Hopefully I will stick around for a bit, try to contribute, but mostly question & listen.
Thanks T-Bums!
Gareth.
