Hi all!

 

I'm a 33 year old guy who hails from North Carolina on the East coast of the United States. On the tail end of a major life upheaval here, and I've just sort of stumbled into Taoism through a series of strange coincidences and intensely spiritual awakenings that seem to keep occurring the more I cultivate my meditation and Tai Chi. I was a pretty hardcore atheist alcoholic mess for a good decade, so this is pretty exciting and new.

 

I'm mostly looking to expand my own understanding of the Tao and how I can hopefully wu-wei myself into a lifestyle that isn't completely self-destructive and self-involved like my previous one. From a few hours of lurking these forums, this seems like a cool place to investigate further. I'll probably keep lurking for awhile since I'm a total n00b scrub when it comes to Eastern mysticism - but I look forward to the journey ahead and thank the site owner and admins of these forums for providing a cool place to continue my path.

 

As they say in the South, keep on truckin'!

Hi Rascal welcome to the forum, don't worry I'm still on the path at the moment of understanding what the Tao fully is. The Tao is very mystical but the more you dig deeper the more it comes clear to you what the Tao is.
