Fate Posted July 3, 2015 Hello, First got started with Daoism when a Tao te Ching came across my path 8 years ago. I really enjoyed the philosophy of it and took it to heart and was fascinated with the Taiji symbol for all this time. After a lot of life have happened, I came across a Qi Gong seminar that I took for CEUs for my profession as massage therapist. That really awakened me to the world of energy, and it was a powerful experience needless to say. Mysteriously, I didn't really connect Qi Gong to Taoism as a spiritual path. I started on Shamanism at first as the path of spiritual freedom as a good introduction to explaining mystical experiences, but there wasn't a real "cultivation" or method of meditation that I could find being so loosely organized. Taoism finally came back around to me this year in the form of Osho's interpretation of Secrets of the Golden Flower, or Taoist cultivation methods. I particular enjoy his description of Taoism as the "Pathless Path." I've also been listening a lot to Alan Watts' talks and there are a LOT of parallels between the two teachers. Looking forward to getting connected with a community with similar views/mystical experiences. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fate Posted July 15, 2015 (edited) When I was a bit more naive and things had taken a negative turn in my life, I tried to become Fate. Now I am in the practice of letting Fate or Tao become me Edited July 15, 2015 by Fate Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
