naturallaws Posted March 21, 2018 If anyone cares, which I doubt they do, (I mean really, who reads what people put as their first post on the welcome page?) I'd like my first statement to be that I don't claim to be right. I found taoism (daoism? I don't really know, I'm not an expert or anything) when out of curiosity i searched for religions that my views might correspond to. Long story short, I found out that I'm not religious, but the philosophy of taoism stuck out to me because of its fluidity. It lets you expand upon its ideas instead of boxing your mind into a cage and forcing yourself to believe exactly what is written from one book or spoken by one person. Through it, I've found a connection to the universe, even if its not through God, but through the natural laws of science. Well, this is getting long winded, what I'm really saying is I'm searching for people with open minds who might be willing to share their beliefs and reasoning or critique mine. And that's about it, thanks for reading if you got all the way here. 2 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 natural, That sounds pretty close to how I found Taoism. I don't have a problem with being right. Agree, flexibility is important. There will be a few members who will read your post. You are welcome to jump right in ongoing discussions, revive an older thread, start a new thread of your own, or start a discussion in the "Newcomer Corner" sub-forms to expand on your introduction or ask general questions to help you get started.
