Rune Posted June 19, 2016 (edited) Hello. I been interested in the way of Tao, for some months now. I broke free from the "Krishna Counciousness movement" in october 2015, after two years in the movement, my body was in a state of constant sickness and I finaly realised, that Krishna did not exist, in a run down indian hospital, in a state of Near death, after I caught the deadly version of the dengue fever. For four months after I could hardly move my joints, and I was a cripple. Despite on giving up on "God", and becoming an atheist, I still believe in a spiriutual force, that I am very interested in crystal healing and chakras, and such things. I been reading "the secret of the golden flower", and listening too Alan Watts on youtube, but I feel I need some instructions from a taoist Master, in order too get me started. Is there any taoist masters in Europe, that I can learn from, and visit? Also im from Denmark, soo I like too hear if there are any masters near me, germany - England - Sweden, perhaps. I like too learn about meditation mostly, and all the basic stuff beginners go through. I like too learn qigong also, but my nearst qigong practice is a bit far away. Soo untill now I decided too try and find a taoist teacher, in europe, that can get me started. Any advice? Thank you for your time.

Marblehead Posted June 19, 2016 Becoming an Atheist does not negate being a spiritual person. There is no conflict unless you return to believing in things that don't exist. Do research on "empty minded meditation". I have called myself the "DaoBums Welcome Master". Wouldn't that imply that I am a Taoist Master? But I don't live in Europe. Oh well. Have a happy journey.

Jim D. Posted June 19, 2016 Are you a Doaist Master Jim? If so, I would be interested in being instructed in Philosophical Daoism. :-) JD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marblehead Posted June 19, 2016 Are you a Doaist Master Jim? If so, I would be interested in being instructed in Philosophical Daoism. :-) JD No. Not even close. Even my Philosophical Taoism is influenced by my earlier life philosophies. I don't instruct but I do enjoy talking about Taoist philosophy. I almost always respond to posts in the Daoist Discussion sub-forum of anything doing with the philosophy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Marblehead Posted June 20, 2016 Im starting to think, that there are no taoist teachers in europe. I wish I could offer you some good information. I am without a doubt sure that there are many Taoist Masters in Europe. Sadly, I have no idea if they teach. But still, the internet and forums such as this one are the best places to look for one who teaches. A while back I learned of but have since forgotten a Taoist organization in Russia that had some students in Eastern Europe. Continue searching. I am sure you will find something at least close to what you are looking for. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
