Righto, but when was it taken? Is it a recent one? Or (as anything is possible on TDB), is it a future one?

PWT distinguishes between âreligious Daoismâ (éæ dao4 jiao1) and âphilosophical Daoismâ (é柶 dao4 jia1, this one is your professorâs branch). In the forum heading, it says é柶ćžèȘȘ (dao4 jia1 xue2 shuo1), so @wandelaar I think this forum was originally set up to discuss âphilosophical Daoismâ.

Exactly. âThe distinction between so-called âphilosophical Daoismâ and so-called âreligious Daoismâ is a modern Western fiction âŠâ https://media.bloomsbury.com/rep/files/9781441168733_commonmisconceptions_daoisttradition.pdf

Well, itâs their indigenous religion, so Iâd say thatâs Taoism. These are the two branches of PWT, popular western Taoism. PWT is a new religion recently formed in the west, vaguely based on the native Taoism.

I donât like personal attack jokes, my DL post was a reaction to that. DL used to be so popular, I too used to like him. Then lots of negative info started coming out. Idk. I feel manipulated by changes in the media reflecting changes in whoâs in power in world politics. I deleted my post.

Carl Jung on individuation
Cobie replied to Sir Darius the Clairvoyent's topic in General Discussion
Maybe ask @stirling ? -
Yes. But it wasnât the UFC/MMA phenomenon in my case. After 50 years of exploring Eastern religions, I became disillusioned with the cultural history (things like the female foot mutilation, widow âsuicidesâ and marrying off/selling off little children).

Is individuation the opposite of non-dual? Individuation - selfhood. Non-dual - no-self. -

I agree. I forged an integration of the two. Ime a balance is needed. Too little authenticity made me feel unreal but too much of it made me harsh.
