Taoism is the gentle way. The path of least resistence.

Nature soothes us. Nature heals us, and something more, the woods are a place of power.

Power has destroyed many people - not really. Power doesn't destroy anyone. People apply it poorly and it can ruin their lives. Power is like fire. Fire is neither good nor bad. It's how you use it.

What will increase one person's personal power will not necessarily be the same for another.

Lao Tsu says the way of life is water, to be fluid.

You have to free yourself from your mental conditioning through association with the holy, through doing good works, through meditating, through laughter, through love and through solitude.

How do you become enlightened? Have fun, meditate, don't take yourself too seriously, brush between incarnations and have a good teacher.
