Default Anyone know about Taoism?

I'm searching for a religion that i fit into. I ran into some readings about the Tao the other day...just wondering if anyone can give me some feedback on it.

It's one of the few religions that I can identify with, and while I do not consider myself to be a Taoist I follow many of it's teachings.

As well, I agree, Taoism is an extraordinary compilation of ideals... The general philosophy is one that I certainly started to develop first in my life... a very solid basis... strong rationale and a good common sense approach to life ...the deeper I, personally, delved I decided to study other Asian drama and was more compelled to travel a different path...although I am thankful from the knowledge I gained with those readings. Enjoy!

it's pretty difficult to understand and even harder to practice. you can start by reading Tao Te Chin to see if you can gain any insight. it's full of apparent contradictions and you really have to lose absolutism and duality ingrained in western thinking to hope to learn anything from the text. i find it harder read than the bible. start with more feel than logic. after gaining some ground, it might start making sense to you. good luck.
