When did you realize that Taoism is the truth?
>>41724638When it came to me.
>>41724656indeed
>>41724638I took some LSD and attempted to invoke Lucifuge Rofocale. Instead, Jesus, Buddha and Shiva appeared and told me, "You have to live in harmony with the Dao." That's when I knew.
>>41724638 Although I'm not certain it represents the ultimate truth, I find Taoism appealing for its philosophical depth and interesting alchemical traditions.
Never
>>41724638Can you explain the Tao to me?
>>41724638Let me guess: it werks
>>41724638long time agofeels like yesterday
I feel it's very compelling on a personal level. Very soul nurturing and denying negative frequencies that are glorified in the self destructive westIt doesn't have much answers on the higher levels though
>>41724638When i win every debate and arguments from other by use Taoism principles
>>41724828>>41724828“The great Tao flows everywhere, both to the left and to the right. It loves and nourishes all things, but does not lord it over them. And when merits are accomplished, it lays no claim to them.”In simple terms, there's not a grain of dust out of place in the universe. Everything is exactly how it is. The real struggle with Taoism is coming to terms with that. Although it also becomes more difficult in a sense. For example, if you 'truly' come to terms with it - then you can have no qualms with anything. However, in line with the Tao, even having qualms with the Tao is a part of the Tao - 'if it wasn't so it wouldn't be'.TLDR : You are always going with the flow.

>>41724638No path that claims to be "The Truth" is true.>The Way that can be walked is not the eternal WayTaoism is a pretty good part of my understanding of the universe, but not all of it. The very act of explaining and discussing it renders a finite, imperfect version of the greater whole.
>>41724638When I learned about the beauty of baopuzi
>>41724638When I looked at the idealized version of every faith's practitioners and goals. Buddhists idealize sickly looking monks doing nothing who need nothing, christians idealize a man bleeding on a cross for others and being humble with your limited self with prayers giving you blessings, jews someone worshiping and sacrificing before an ill-tempered god...and then there are taoists who align with the heavenly way and seek to become immortal and rise to heaven on their own merit using their own will. It's simply the only spirituality whose followers make you go "yea, I want to be like that."
>>41724638Toeism............
>>41726534Ngl, if this was a religion I would follow it...
disagree.Tao is the way. literally, the way. a path. it may be a true or correct path to Truth, may be.but the Truth is Christ, one of the three Logoi.its a good ground fundation to grasp the basic stuff, but so is the Bible. babbies 1st steps, huh?
>>41724828>>41725577The Tao that can be explained is not the eternal Tao.
>>41724828Spooky fractal grammar that underlies all structure and phenomena in reality. Think about how ocean currents, atmospheric stuff like clouds, and geological processes all behave along equivalent lines, all following the laws of fluid dynamics. Semantic and aesthetic qualia in the human world follow equivalent behaviour as well, you'll have noticed this if you've ever been involved in a theatrical production and experience the feeling of things coming together, like things are sliding into place. Imagine a flow or pattern that describes all process occurring within all domains (e.g. land/water/atmosphere/biomass/consciousness/etc.) and the process of substance being transposed between them (e.g. evaporation of water from the ocean system into the atmospheric system). That's the Dao, as far as I understand it.
>>41724828Tao is the precondition for God to become self-aware and cause the big bang.
