Rafael Posted February 17, 2017 My name is Rafael, I've been an occult student for a while, mainly the Western mysteries (as this is where I come from). I registered in this forum for two things, firstly I had always been interested in Taoism philosophical and practical side but what I could find was either overload of new-age information either crap trying to sell me wisdom, so I came here What could be a better way than the healthy human debate? And the secondly, I pass most of the time involved in Western society so maybe a new approach could improve my practice. What do you think about this? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marblehead Posted February 17, 2017 Hello Rafael, and welcome.  Your membership is approved and we're happy you found your way to us. We look forward to accompanying you on some of the way that you still have to go.  Please take the time to read the two posts pinned at the top of this Welcome page and take a look at the forum terms and rules. This covers all you need to know when getting started.  For the first week you will be restricted to ten posts per day but after that you can post as much as you like. Also, until you’ve posted fifteen times in the forums, you’ll be a “Junior Bum” with somewhat restricted access and will be allowed only two private messages per day.  Good luck in your pursuits and best wishes to you,  Marblehead and the TDB team   Hi Rafael,  Yes, we do talk a lot about Taoist Philosophy here. We also have some New-Agers though. I think alternate perspectives are good; they cause us to think.  You are welcome to jump right in ongoing discussions, revive an older thread, start a new thread of your own, or start a discussion in the "Newcomer Corner" sub-forms to expand on your introduction or ask general questions to help you get started.  May you enjoy your time here.  Marblehead 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
