Interesting points, Howdy.

I have often wondered about the objective truth of Chinese medical theory myself.

Haha yep, in fact I had a little ceremony today in honor of it being Imbolc, or Groundhog Day as you say (interesting how many holidays we celebrate have pagan origins). And yes, this is the true ‘beginning’ of Spring, I just wish that were more accepted. So yes, Happy Spring!

Nice that makes sense thanks Steven.

true, and I meant that in a good way 🙂

Additionally, the difficulty I have with organized religions is the…[Read more]

Good old monotheism making its way onto a Taoist forum. Gotta love the irony haha 🙂

Yikes there are some typos. Is there an edit button? If not I guess I’ll just have to deal haha.

Hi Steven, this is Ryan, just signed up on this forum and have no idea how to navigate it so we’ll see how where this post goes!

Just wanted to say I enjoy the lucidity and logic of your posts. It’s pretty refreshing to see on internet forums where most posts and rambling streams of consciousness.
