Integrating different Religions...

The problem...

The problem with Taoism is that it's just another form of mysticism.

I define mysticism as Ayn Rand defines mysticism.

*Mysticism: What is mysticism? Mysticism is the acceptance of allegations without evidence or proof, either apart from or against the evidence of one's sense and one's reason. Mysticism is the claim to some non-sensory, non-rational, non-defianable, non-identifiable means of knowledge, such as "instinct,""intuition,""revelation," or any form of "just knowing."
Reason is the perception of reality, and rests on a single axiom: the Law of Identity.
Mysticism is the claim to the perception of some other reality--other than the one in which we live--whose definition is only that it is not natural, it is supernatural, and is to be perceived by some form of unnatural or supernatural means.*Ayn Rand

Mysticism in any form is not only in the realm of the supernatural, mysticism is any form of claim an individual makes by asserting that they believe it's to be reality, without evidence or prove of their accertions!!. i.e. "The attack on the WTC, was caused by the CIA, in order to start a war in the middle east" Conspiracie theories, without proof is mysticism!!.
 
Godless,

Taoism is a Philosophy and a way of life. Taoism says that for you to rediscover your true nature you must silence yourself and look inward. It's very simple.

Taoism teaches things like equilibrium, harmony, peace and compassion. It teaches moral and ethics. It's a work of philosophy that, through common sense, can easily be constateted... ;)

PS: In this sense... Black Holes and Parallel Universes are Mysticism too... :D:D:D:D:D
