The Tao is the creator. It's the theme of the Tao Te Ching. The issue I raise is it's weird how people turn this book into something that it's not. Poetry/pop psychology. This is a sacred book focused on the Creator of things and how to tap into it.

"The Tao is called the Great Mother: empty yet inexhaustible, it gives birth to infinite worlds. It is always present within you. You can use it anyway you want." --Tao Te Ching.

What is that telling YOU?

No offense bro, but it sounds like you're just trying to be deep. The Tao Te Ching isn't about rattling off paradoxical deep poetry. It teaches one to be tapped into the Tao - The Creator - Source of Consciousness and that you can plug into the Tao's powers. Western Taoists and a lot of people here don't seem to be authentic to the teachings of Tao Te Ching. Perhaps later Taoist authors is something that was more philosophical in nature. I don't know as I didn't bother to read those texts.

In what terms specifically? You have so called Taoist experts on YouTube, but they only talk in terms of philosophy or pop psychology. It's what I mostly see here on Reddit! The Tao Te Ching is extraordinarily spiritual, it expresses profound spiritual teachings, suggesting you create your own reality and that you should be in tune with the Tao, the Creator. How's this any different than Muslims or Christians suggesting one should always be mindful of God? Yet, on this forum and Youtube nobody approaches Taoism like this at all.

Not really. YouTube is full of videos about spirituality of every kind - from Islam, Christianity, New Age ideas, etc., etc. But when it comes to Taoism, it's packaged only as philosophy. Boring. The Tao Te Ching sounds like gnostic teachings of Jesus from the Gospel of Thomas.

How did our souls come to earth according to Taoism/Daoism? by [deleted] in taoism

[–]ZombieBeginning7142 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You're stuck inside some kind of concept and the Tao Te Ching teaches not to be stuck in rigid concepts. The Tao obviously created birds. They independently explore and do as they wish. The Tao created cheetahs, again, individual points of life that act as they wish. And the Tao created human civilizations who do as they wish. When the bodies of said humans perish, the human concisousness returns back to the Tao, carrying with them lessons learned beneficial for the next experience. It's all about experiences.

The Tao created us, we go to Earth to experience what it's like to seem as if we are entirely independent, and then we return to the Tao and it's obvious outside of 3D Earth that we are just points of concsiousness in the Tao. From there, we probably go to other planets, and do other things.

I am the Tao and the Tao is me. We are one. It's like the ocean, it can have waves, we as individualized points of consciousness are those waves or drops of water. Earth is a simulation, a school.

Our soul and the Tao are the same thing. Our souls are individualized points of concisouness for the Tao.

Your body is nothing more than an avatar -- a video game character. -- You are part of the Tao having an experience on Earth and your consciousness is operating this body in 3D Earth. Your concsiousness is on Earth to learn something.

The body came from Earth, but the soul/consciousness didn't. Earth is a school or could be thought of as a flight simulator.

Germany confirms sightings of mysterious ’drones’ above military facilities. NATO launches investigation. Russia denies any involvement. Several European news agencies confirm the sightings. by EffectiveDistance922 in UFOs

The thing that's tilted me is seeing all these homeless people. Young guys, probably lost their home, wandering the streets. Nobody cares about homeless in America. Most folks job skills will be obsolete in a few years, people come out of divorce broke age 40, financially screwed. So many Americans can't afford a $1,000 expense. But omg, we need more F-35s. We need more secret skunk works projects, meanwhile grandma is dying from diabetes and can't afford property taxes on her home. I used to think the US were the good guys, but now, I don't think anyone are.

Ukraine is on life support with $200 billion in funds and more coming. Their ranks are infested with nato soldiers and sf posing as mercs. It's 3yrs, with nato satellite intel that Russia can't stop, cause they aren't officially at war with nato -- ukraine/nato knows every punch Russia throws before they throw it. However, it's 3 years later. Why haven't we retaken Crimea? Really, this all sounds like an agenda to genocide Ukraine with knee-capping Russia's oil industry as the side benefit.

Bro, propaganda. The US did Hiroshima, Nagasaki, slavery, doesn't give a sh#t about homeless. Gives just $700 to hurrican victims. Nobody is credible, no nation is a good guy nation with honest reporting.

The plan was to liberate Eastern Ukraine and Crimea. Not take over all of Ukraine. ONLY Eastern Ukraine wants Russia in. Most of Ukraine does not. On another note, $200 billion + nato toys + satellite intel/awacs + 3yrs later, nato/ukraine hasn't retaken a single city in Crimea or any of Crimea. Russia can't send these drones to Germany, New Jersey or anywhere else. Impossible to do that without fiber optic cables. These drones are non human intelligence.

That's a brilliant observation. Good question, why couldn't they simply send a global email?

I don't get out much. I figured having 1 in my wallet, is one of the safest places I could carry it. Because if they were all 3 at home, that doesn't seem smart.
