ChangingYang Posted July 24, 2018 Hello bums! I'm an artist, a bum, and I have been a daoist for about 15 years (am 32). I have focused my study around the yijing, the daodejing, and meditation. I've been off and on this site for a while but this is my first time creating an account. I finally created an account because I'm interested in talking with others who are on similar paths, and maybe gain insights from the discussions, I suppose. I don't have much to say about myself though... ....so hi! : ) 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We look forward to accompanying you on some of the way that you still have to go. Please take the time to read the post 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, Fa Xin and the TDB team Welcome ChangingYang, always good to see lurkers make accounts. It tells me we are doing something right here 😀 Looking forward to reading your posts. Seem to have a bit of nice Daoist stuff under your belt. Welcome. You are welcome to jump right in to the ongoing discussions, revive an older thread, start a new thread of your own, or start a discussion in the "Newcomer Corner" sub-forum to expand on your introduction or ask general questions to help you get started. May you enjoy your time here. Fa Xin 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, when I was younger I had a more forceful type of personality, aggressive almost, in pursuing the things and goals I thought I wanted. So, this moniker helps remind me to be more calm and accepting. : ) It is a term that comes from the yijing having to do with the changing lines. Yang will change to yin (changing-yang) and yin will change to yang (changing-yin). 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
