shazlor Posted March 17, 2016 Hello there Dao Bums, Here is my introductory post, I have lurked the boards for a while and need to do this apparently, so I can download the .pdf attachments that caught my eye lol. About me - I am 26, male and live in Australia. I got sucked into the spirituality game several years ago by stumbling upon an online group and followed the practices with some results. Since then I have been working upon myself in the spiral fashion, retreading the same ground/self/issues/etc with a higher perspective and experience each time. In my studies Taoism caught my eye, mainly due to the symbolic cyphers... I love riddles... and for the past two years I know without knowing da Dao is where 'it' is at... I forgot the rest, especially the 'plz steal and harness my chi' guru worship egregores and focus on this arena. Steadily amassing a daoist library searching for gold elixir nuggets and to corroborate personal experiences in meditation, and collecting practical methods. Atm I am experimenting with energetic shapeshifting and dream working- where I am taught most of my lessons, the hardest part is actually getting out of bed to write them down before they slip away. Cheers, I continue to look forward to lurking, with download privileges plz mods, roflmao, Shannon. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good luck in your pursuits and best wishes to you, Marblehead and the TDB team Hi Shannon, Well, you are in good luck as I am able to do magic this morning and approve your membership. Personally, I have a hard time getting out of bed every morning. Best Wishes with your journey.

shazlor Posted March 18, 2016 (edited) Thanks for the welcome guys I will continue my lurkz and pop-in with a comment time to time, I am always checking the "Miscellaneous Daoist Texts" subforum for updates. I have seen several people use the saying 'panning for gold' , and it is true, this forum has some real gold pointers and connect the dots I have found tremendously helpful. P.S "always liked that name... Shannon..." Ancient little wisze one, River of wiszdom.. etc etc... I TRY /usually/ to live up to it, lolz. Funny story - In highschool it was misprinted as Sharon under my headshot in the yearbook my final year, I know it is a unisex name, but come on, really... Luckily, I played sports !
