Spiritual Colation

I've always considered myself somewhat of a Taoist, ever since I first learned of the teachings of Lao Tzu when I was still in Mid-school. I have only just gotten around to reading all of the Tao Te Ching. It's truly enlightening. I realize I must purchase a copy of this work so that I may meditate on its verses. Its not something one should read in just one sitting then put away, as the implications and meanings are great and deep, and are not just knowledge to be aquired, but are more inspiration to be experienced. Its quite enlightened and joyous nihilism and beautiful self contradiction.
(The Tao never does, yet through it all things are done.)

I do believe I will use one quote rather often:
"He knows does not speak, he who speaks does not know."

I do believe the Tao Te Ching could very well be alternately titled "Quintessential Christianity". One of these days I'll formulate a whole system of instruction based off of the interconnectedness of all the world's faiths, and perhaps spread some true enlightenment and understanding among the varried tribes of man.
