    Thanks to everyone.

     

    No, not thinking of suicide.

     

    That smile thing might work.

    On a serious note, I'm feeling better now. Thanks again.

    Before I begin, I would like to state; bitching over the internet is my last resort.

     

    I've been trying to go with the flow. I've been trying not to go with the flow. I've been trying to find peace. But I'm coming up with nothing.

     

    I have a copy of Tao Te Ching, and I've been reading it. I do believe that there is a force that carries life, and I know there are people who know how to be happy and successful in it.

     

    I may not deserve to utilize it, because I'm thinking only of myself.

     

    I am a very sad person right now.

     

    I just need help. Anyone who has anything to say is welcome to at this time. Thank you.

    I think that's all natural, all part of the growth experience. I go through the same things. You're definitely on the right (Taoist) track by realizing the significance of "action through non-action." One thing that has been really helpful for me (in trying to worry less and achieve peace) is reading and re-reading the Tao Te Ching and the Chuang Tzu. Those two texts, more than any others, always give me a sense of profound calm. That's a type of non-yoga meditation--just reading and thinking about what I've read. Both texts are so dense that I find new meanings (or are reminded of meanings I've already taken in) every time I read them, and the truths that I find in them--and find while thinking of them--are pacifying and nourishing. Hope this helps, and hope to hear more from you in the forum. :)

     

    Thanks mang. Appreciate that. I actually own a pocket copy of Tao Te Ching, and kinda know what you're talking about in regards to the calm thing. Don't think, feeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeel.

    Hey people. I'm new here. BUT YOU ALREADY KNEW THAT.

     

    I know Tao exists, and I would like nothing more than to do my part and go along with it. From what I've read and gathered, being at one with Tao is to just act naturally. Do without doing, think without thinking, but I can't seem to do that. I'm always worried I'm not doing it right, and that's what comes naturally to me. I'm not at peace, but I would like to be, perferably without yoga.

     

    Thank you for your time.
