  1. advice and direction

    thanks, stigweard for the welcome and the recommendation... i am new to the forum. i have read and self applied quite a lot in the field of taoist studies....i suppose what i am looking for at this point is a real live teacher- and it seems i am not the only one here on the forum seeking this! i am going to list some of what i have read thus far and perhaps anyone who reads this can point to other things i should explore.... opening the dragon gate the scholar warrior immortal sisters vitality energy spirit chronicles of tao 7 taoist immortals tao te ching chuang tzu's writings jade emperor's mind seal classic shambhala's guide to taosim magus of java several translations of the iching..... i would LOVE to read more about the emergence of systems thinking and ecoliteracy and its relationship to taoist thought. i love being witness to the process of 'rediscovering' and viewing old knowledge through a modern lens.....i see so much of this demonstrated in behaviors and tendencies in our time...over and over science seems to be recognizing that patterns, processes, and relationships between matter/beings are far more important that quantities, form and 'substance'. that small systems are parts of larger systems and larger systems are part of even larger ones, etc.....taoists figured this all out long ago without any other tools except the power of mind.... if anyone knows of anything that might be good reading, or any real human teachers that are worthy of approaching, please pass on the info! i need experience and guidance.. much appreciated in advance, ju yue
  2. new to forum

    hello all, i've been following the forum from afar for a couple of years and just decided to join today. i have been on the daoist path for several years now, although in retrospect, a better way to put that is that i figured out a few years ago after a bit of reading that i was a doaist and didn't know it yet. i am looking for a teacher and have 'put out a call' for one....what i am truly interested in is an individual or situation that would offer guidance for a complete way of living/learning for an entire family. i want my children to be introduced to daoist concepts and training while young, as i am interested in seeing what happens to an individual's potential when they don't have to grow up and 'un-learn' reductionist, limited, and detrimental ways of thinking that undermine a full resonance with the dao.... ju yue
