Taoist Thoughts

I will never be a percentage to myself. And how you choose to view me is irrelevant to that.

Consider yourself a percentage.Consider others a percentage. But don't delude yourself into thinking everyone else will accept your labels.

Don't define yourself by what you have or what you have not. You are more than a percentage.

Life is the probabilities observed in quantum mechanics. It cannot be predicted beyond percentages of chance.

@johnwillemsens Others can view people as percentages to suit their own needs. However I do not define myself by other people's needs.

I am not a percentage. Nobody represents me but me. I speak for myself.

@CosmicFreeLover Good to hear you've regained control of your account! I never follow DM links anyway as a general rule so no harm.

Hating someone else only does harm to you.

@quantumrider53 Wisdom, especially in that environment, would be using the experiences to make the right choices to avoid harm.

Those who move with Tao find they easily move out of harms way or never cross it's path in the first place.

Religions come and go. They are the creations of people and will change as the needs of people change. We live in a transition.

Everything is in constant transition. Don't resist the current. Let go and move with it.

Life is a steady transition. Each day absolutely new. There are no ruts to be stuck in if you make different choices.

When you expect your personal beliefs to limit other people's health choices, you've gone from caring to controlling.

Everything we know to be true is still just belief. Today's scientific facts may become the superstitions of the distant future.

You can state your beliefs without having to belittle those who don't share your beliefs.

Knowledge is belief that hasn't been shown to be inaccurate.

You refusal to accept the beliefs of others does not give you the right to demand others accept yours instead.

The more shrink wrapped a belief is, the faster it will stale.

There may be many paths to the mountain peak, but you still have to climb to get there.

Putting together a business plan for a Taoist mountain retreat. A place for tai'chi, qi'gong, leadership training, meditation and more

Looking into a good place to buy some land to set up a small Taoist mountain retreat in the U.S. I'm thinking western NC?

Let's bring back the communes of the late 60's. How about a a full time Taoist mountain retreat? :)

Without the mountain, there is no shadow of the mountain.

Manual for Climbing Mountains, wonderful article suggested by @design4dinah http://paulocoelhoblog.com/2010/08/11/manual-for-climbing-mountains-3/

There may be many paths to the mountain peak, but you still have to climb to get there.

Every path you choose is within Tao. Just some directions we choose to follow are against the current.

Though your body will decay, the path you took will not. Your legacy will be the choices you make every day.

Don't allow anger to be your first choice for expressing displeasure or frustration. There are easier paths. Swirl instead of boil.

While the side trails we may wander down may not be on the path we were on, they are still the path we take.

If the path is blocked, change. Once you have changed, you may pass through and continue.
