@aperezNWO ....Greetings. I did not think you presented yourself as authority. Regarding Tao, there are no experts, only those who unlearn more than others as Tao is beyond conception. An allergy? that is a mater of genetics. If you want to say such a condition is a result of divine influence, that is based on personal beliefs. I know it is not "the will of Tao" as Tao does not direct the flow of the future. Many Westerners confuse Tao with the concept of God. That is the first misconception.

@geekeing Hi, from the begining of this post I am not exposing my self as an authority on the subject. I am just sharing my vision and concerns. About the freedom of choice I am making conclusions about what my life was. I have for sure many others ran with best luck. I suffered and stil suffer from a illness that scrubbed my entire life and until now I found a cure. Suffering from an allergy that scrubbed my whole life was my own choice?. I found hard to belive that the answer is yes...

[geekeing]

@aperezNWO ....are you saying you believe you are at the mercy of forces greater than yourself, you have little freedom of choice? It has been 11 months since your first comment, do you have a better understanding of Tao now?

[aperezNWO]

@geekeing I barely talk about something that I am starting to learn. My "testomony" has been the fact that in many situations I wished inmediate resolution o revenge from my subjugated pride, however the things were resolved but no in my own way. This is the will I talk about, some "God" behaviour that I have for sure that domains everything but you hardly underestand.

[geekeing]

@aperezNWO ...how is Tao the greatest power of the Universe? What is the will of Tao?

Try a good Chi-Kung course before this course.

To all those who think Taoism is about being "calm" and "slow", you're quite wrong.

Real Taoism is mental/physical and "spiritual" if you want to use that word conditioning.

Taoist do MORE than philosophize. There are Taoist exercises that can do amazing things. They are all "easy" to learn and VERY demanding to practice.

Wu Wei isn't "being calm" it's being NATURAL.

Most people are so unnatural they wouldn't know nature if they slept in a tree.

Do more than read, learn Taoist Arts.
