stoictao Posted April 14, 2018 Hello everyone! I have recently been on a journey of self discovery that has lead me to a lot of philosophy and some spiritualism. For a while, I was deep into Stoicism before being introduced to Taoism/Daoism. It is of particular interest to me because although I lean agnostic, my idea of "God" was somewhat similar to the Tao. I have started the essential reading, and although my understanding of Taoism is limited, I am extremely interested in exploring it further and putting it into practice. In particular, I am interested in learning more about concepts I am skeptical of, such as The Three Treasures and Neidan in general. Nice to be here! Can't wait to meet others who are interested in following the Way! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
