Hi everyone! I'm bad at introductions, but here goes...
I'm from KY in the U.S. I was raised catholic, but have considered myself atheist/agnostic for the past 30 years.
I've recently realized that even though I was aware of how mental filters shape your perceptions of the outside world, it never occurred to me that no matter how open-minded that I thought I was, I was still viewing the world through a skeptic, scientific thought process. Instead of experiencing life to see what it's all about, I've been looking at it from the outside.
New friends have gotten me to consider investigating/experiencing a spiritual life.
I've read a lot about Taoism, and really like what I've learned about it. I believe that I feel more of a connection with Taoism and Buddhism than any other philosophies or religions.
I'm sure I will learn a lot more here, and I really hope that I can contribute.
