Non Posted May 22, 2010 internal/external, dependant/independant, Tao/non-Tao (mundane) are these distinctions you are really qualified to make? Yea I know the whole "ego" thing, and the realization that who's to really say that whatever higher power that can help is NOT you, all is one, etc. I guess intellectually I can grasp it, but not experientially, or maybe it's the other way around? I guess maybe ego gets in the way yea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
