Dude are you really a Taoist? Very interesting. I studied Taoism as a religious studies minor. I have practiced acupuncture and herbalism before does that count?

I just assumed you were of a western mind set since your name and forum av are taken from a British Naturalist.

Yep, well, once ya got the name, ya got to get the forum AV. 'Sides, it's a pimpin' name.

And yes, herbalism counts of course. And yeah, I am.

According to Mr. Ashcroft, there may be Taoists everywhere! Oh, and take that golf ball out of your mouth.

I've not read any major books on any form of Taoism, however I do have little knowledge of it from reading Bruce Lee's book, I forget the title off hand but its the one where it describes his Martial Arts and the one he was writing when he passed away.

So from my little knowledge based off of that I've incorporated alot of it in my own beliefs, I'm not hardcore on any set 'way', mostly follow my own path.

If anyone has good sites with great information about Tao I'd love to learn more about it.

Edit for punctuation.

Personally, I am a dowelist. I believe the sacred dowels support the pillars of the universe.
