[Dizaster]

Yeah I downloaded the Mastering your Hidden Self book, but so far it's a little wishy washy.. I listened to a recording yesterday by someone who went into Tibet for a month and trecked into the Monestaries and it just sounded amazing...

Taking the view of Joseph Campbell, lots of religions or trains of thought seem very reasonable. Just remember it's not about the FACTS it's about the TRUTH and the truth is shrowded within metaphors which in can hold different meanings in different situations.

I've read the Tao Of Pooh and enjoyed every page of it.

I liked "Winnie The Pooh and the Blustery Day" better but of course that was a movie

YEARS ago i got real high in las vegas, walked into a store, bought a tiny buddah statue, went back to the hotel room and sacrificed a cup of yoohoo to it and decided i was a buddist for like 15 minutes

My sisters a Buddist,she walks the talk and leaves little prints.

IVe read Tao te ching by Loa Tzu which is Taoist, pronouned dowist in Chinese.


Very wise stuff Toaism ,Buddists that went more into the base nature of the way ,from within nature.

Translation by Jane English and Guy Feng is the best one ;
if you get a chance to pick it up in a store and have a read for 1/2 hour you'll just about read the lot.

Taoist wisdom..

Cut windows and doors from a wall and its the holes that makes it useful.

Shape a vessel from clay and the space within is of use.
Therefore profit comes what is there and usefulness comes from what is not there.

There lies a deep spiriitual meaning in that as well as a fighting strategy.
