In all honesty, I don't know. I can't even begin to describe or define the divine (Hey, that rhymes!), as any description would be fractured and subjective, and would inherently place limiting concepts on that which is inconceivable. I also don't know what the author was trying to communicate or...
Hola! :)
I've noticed that many Mormon churches have a pronounced tower/steeple-thingie as part of the design, is this merely for aesthetics or are there deeper symbolic reasons for this?
(I'm planning on visiting a local LDS church and I've always found church architecture interesting, so any...
I can feel my brain shrinking as I type so I'll have to be brief... :D
I can't answer your question. I think to do so would require me to know and understand far more then I could possibly about the concepts of God, Time and the universe. (I can't even fathom my cat out, so there's no hope for...
I did Tai Chi for a while. I may get back into it one day, at least when I can do the warm up exercises without gasping for breath. ;)
I don't know whether it counts as an exercise, but I'm working on simply allowing myself to be still and not worry about being or doing any one particular thing...
A little off topic, but how can a faith that has millions upon millions of followers, and thousands of interpretations, texts and traditions have one single 'face'? It seems as if you're trying to fix every Christian (Incidentally, I'd be interested in how you define what makes a person a...
I wish your friend the best of luck on her search Druidus. :)
****.com is a huge Taoist resource site, and will hopefully be of some use. (I would show the link but I can't until I have 15 posts. Fudgecakes! I'll PM it to you instead...)
The only suggestion I have (I certainly can't advise or...
I don't think it's possible to be a Taoist without having a sense of humour. It would be like eating with chopsticks in polite society and not accidentally sticking them up your nose, unheard of. (I speak from personal experience :p)
If y'all will permit me a brief ego-stoking bio; I was raised...
Good luck Windcarver! :)
When I 'came out', it was a gradual and spontaneous process. I simply allowed myself to begin outwardly embodying Taoist principles around my family, not for any real aim but just because it was me. It took a while but I eventually saw how silly it was to try and hide...
Well, I'm not sure if I 'chose' my religion, I'm not even sure if I'd call it a religion...
In my own way I seek harmony with Tao. Some would argue I'm not very good at it and sometimes I'd agree with them. As for why, I'm not sure that words can define why anyone chooses their faith. It felt...
*prepares to fruball CCF's collective buttocks... With a vengeance!* :D
Some of the things said there about LDS were shameful. Well, nuts to them. Let 'em stew in their own narrow minded juices.
