In Taoism there isn't they, there is just the Tao, no god nothing but Tao, and not even that.:smile:

You've got to live it to truly know it, in other words.

How can you "live it" if you don't even know what IT is? Apparently,you can't even describe IT or say what IT is.. That has to get really confusing when trying to tell someone about your lifestyle.

...I'm sorry I just don't get it

.Well in truth your one with all there is, the mind or ego makes you seem separate from all there is, so take away the mind and where are you, that is what you have to realize for yourself, and when this is realized, you simply live it, there is nothing more to do.:smile:

Just go with the flow, follow your Inner Voice, leave your spirit breathing free, unencumbered by negative thoughts, and follow your bliss.

I wish I could tell you how I got to that point, but alas I really can't (remains a mystery to me past some level)-and I have reason to believe that the Path that was shown to me was a rather rare one.

So,you just live in the moment and go with the flow of things?

More or less yes, but not many can do that.

When asked what is the Tao/Dao, a Chinese master is reported to have answered thus: "Emptiness unobstructed. One wanders as one desires."
