Continually Amused

I'm continually amused. And fascinated. And more convinced than ever.

I'm endlessly amused by the actions of those who are out to save the world.

I'm fascinated by their need to convince others their way is the only way.

I'm more convinced than ever that I'm on the right path for me.

False Patriots

"Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel." Samuel Johnson April 17, 1775.

This does not mean that patriots are scoundrels, but that scoundrels will falsely drape themselves in the flag of patriotism to perpetrate their dastardly acts.

Beware of false patriots.

Spiritual Realization

Your true path to spiritual realization is never what you are told it will be and rarely what you think it will be.

I try not to be distracted from my path by the tales of others who seem to be succeeding in finding their path. Who knows if they really are?

Besides, I'm having way too much fun on my path!

"Nature is the master of shortcuts." - Lennart Green

Your Path continues

The farther you walk on your true path, the farther you may find yourself from the paths of others. That is a good thing.

How to join our club

Taoism is not an organized institution that one can be a member of. Either you understand or you don't, and that is that.

"People often ask how you become a Taoist, what books do you read, what temples do you attend? You don't become a Taoist, you just realize that Taoist is a name for what you already are." --Lao Fzu
