I agree with you im ready to take my study into a practical phase. I've also been reading a lot of gurdjieff/ouspensky stuff. Would you say the aim of meditation in taoism is similar to the gurdjieff idea of self remembering to combat the robotic condition of man.

I tried a sexual energy practice of some sort for 1 month where I didn't ejaculate for a month but exercised everyday, I seemed to have more energy but there was irration after while.

Hi thanks for the reply. I've been reading the inner smile online book for a couple of hours now thanks for that, it's quite interesting learning a lot from it.

Hi, im 20 years old and from london. In my first year of university. I was raised a christian but never really took to it but i've studied various religions out of curiosity and taoism has really caught my attention I haven't meditated yet but i've been reading the I-Ching, Tao Te Ching and Chuang Tzu thoroughly for a couple of years. I know this isn't enough so im here to learn.
