Tao ist have gods? never heard that one but then again the only book I read on the subject was the TAO of POOH . I loved that book. read the TE of piglet too. yes it was simple read and afterwards I always thought it was a simple philosophy . and loved it because I thought there was no gods involved. Silly me
wow never knew thanks. Still love the philosophy of it tho, well the part that I know that is.
Strange when i was exploring different philosophies and religion my mind seamed to expand and the equations of life seemed at my grasp. I emphisize SEEMED .I was also doig TAI_CHI and without the teachers influence I was putting two and two together (so to speak) and understanding the way of life through the movements of this act. I missed that very much those were my days of ZEN.
