Buddhism seeks to order the Chaos in our Desires...

Taoism seeks to find order in Chaos itself...

The two complement eachother well:)

A statement I would like to make to Alex Anatole, while someone out of context especially concerning terminology, is this quote from Billy Madison:

"Mr. Madison, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul."

Actually, I was meaning that you seem to have much to learn about how the mind works and any form of religion doesnt understand the ego's role in how the objective self is formed. Annalogies help but are always subjective to the self's opinionated version of reality, which is of course subjective to the ego which is formed from external sources.

it means that power is an illusion.

why does that seem mindless and empty to you? I really hope that you are an open minded individual, and can accept and learn to understand what people are saying.

reflect inward, and observe outward. Dont accept ideas that arent yours without observing them, and then deciding what you believe

Oh so much empty mindless noise.

"I once dreamt I was a powerful grain of sand manifesting the universe, which had been written on a piece of paper that said I was once powerful in a long lost previous life" LMFAO

Mojo9197, your posts are way too random for this comment section! Grand Master Anatole is a teacher of a very ancient, and still very relevant tradition; He deserves your respect, even if you disagree with the teachings of Lao Tze.
