Taoism and going with the flow of society/social conditioning
templarmonk replied to skydog's topic in General Discussion
It`s easy not to be a rebel in times of peace. What are we fighting? The contents in television? Politics? However, in times of war or crisis, what do we do? Watch our family get killed? Accept a tyrant that won`t even let you choose your religion or think different? If rebels wouldn`t exist, we would still be on the dark ages, having the church at our neck telling us what to think, what to do. There would still be slavery. We would be governed by egomaniac kings and force to fight for them to get more lands. "Heretics" wold still burn. -
Thanks mate, I`m watching it right now.

Very interesting news. Some day the line that separates science from the "supernatural" will be erased. Some day, maybe, all the things acomplished by the "Taoist inmortals" will be subjects in schools. Some day, I hope, we will be awake.

I found this forum looking for Taoist Alchemy information, as well as Mo Pai. I`m 33, and I`m a physical therapist. I`m from Argentina, so I`m a little far from all the popular masters. I read a lot of books, and now I think it`s time to practice. It`s nice to be here! Regards to all the TB

Hi julianlaboy! I`m interested in anything that could help me develop as a person and reach higher levels of conciousness. As I told you before, I read a lot. My first career was philosophy at the local university. After 5 years of studying and almost getting my degree, I decided to drop it, and started Kinesiology and Physical Theraphy. The thing is, I was reading all western autors for college and eastern books for my development. I was also investigating about Hermetism, Alchemy and Gnosticism. At some point my head was a mess with so much information. I was not practicing anything in particular (except for Aikido). Working with people, the simplicity of the contact with the patients in the hospital was very good for me. So, after 5 years of career studying anatomy, fisiology, pathologies and treatments, I`m ready to start again. This time with a different approach: practice what I learn, and stop looking everywhere for more information. What brought me back to internal practice was seeing John Chang video, and reading Kosta Danos`s book. I started meditating again and I`m getting better at it. At least I`m starting to be able to stop the mind from wandering. I`m already learning reading this forum. Thanks again for the welcome! Saludos

Thanks for the welcome, "little cat" (gatito in spanish). As for the Tango I prefer to play it on my guitar, I`m a terrible dancer, and Tango is very hard. Regards
