I wish more people were familiar with the Tao. Did you know when the Communists took over China, they specifically targeted TWO religious groups - Taoism and Christianity. Seems strange to me...
I should have mentioned Buddhism as well because of the invasion of Tibet that served absolutely ZERO purpose but did not because there are a lot of 'Buddhist' temples that are really fronts for black magick cults. But yeah, they adore Confucius, or as I like to call him, 'Confuse-Us'. His doctrines at the surface seem fine but once you dig in, it's just like you said - social hierarchy bullshit. The Taoist, the real ones - not the weird version that developed centuries after Lao Tzu's death full of rituals and demons and deities etc, they just want peace and quiet and to exist. They live the way God intended. Imagine the world we would live in right now if Taoism was widely spread and revered?
I have a theory about the 'other' form of Taoism. There are beings in this world, call them fallen angels, demons, extra-dimensional parasites - whatever - that have subtly influenced the world since basically day one and Taoism was just too damn close to the way God wanted people to live so they created this 'other' form and turned it into a way of siphoning worship for themselves. I think the same thing applies to every world religion personally. That 'Mystery Babylon' is always out there manipulating people into worshiping their false god call him Lucifer or whatever you want. It doesn't matter. It is EVIL.
By the way- this is so much easier when you are 67!!
Nature…a true balm for all that ails us.
