passer-by

I'm 17. My name is Robert, but passer-by is fine too. I've been familiar with the Way for a few years, and haven't been really in touch with it until recently, when I have been at home a lot. As of now, I am prepping for changes in my life, because I am newly graduated from high school. I see this era of non-activity as a very good thing, and I am trying to get right with Tao in this appropriate time. If you've read this far, I thank you, and hope to have a nice conversation with you on this... interesting forum.

I happen to agree here. I think that if we are to ask any question like this, we must first look at the role the Mind has in the problem. The mind is not our friend
