Study the Tao te Ching and the Chuang Tzu in our loving and wise community
“These Taoist newsletters serve a demographic of highly intelligent readers, deep thinkers, and spiritually oriented seekers of truth, especially those with a passion for ideas, critical thinking, and unknown possibilities. The path to finding happiness is among those ideas. Readers of my posts on the Tao te Ching and the Chuang Tzu are usually tired of being patronized elsewhere by those who complain about everything they don’t like, but lack a willingness to think about, contemplate, meditate, and introspect on the Mystic Taoist approach to finding solutions to fix what they don’t like.”

On a personal note: Please excuse grammatical errors, typos, repetition, and any general nonsense, and such in this post. I am getting a bit older now, and I have about 20,000 pages of information that must get published before I leave the mortal coil. I simply write and publish more than my humble editors are able to correct. If you find enough errors you are welcome to contact me about being an editor of my work.

Welcome, and thanks for exploring our Mystic Taoist Community and Group.
Mystic Taoism is a path to greater self-awareness, effectiveness, efficiency, mental clarity, emotional balance, and spiritual wisdom.
This is a community of, and for “spiritually hungry” seekers of profound wisdom.
Please note, that we do not focus on the superficial in the group. Nor do we seek “Spiritual Materialism”. That means we do not have an interest in or promote rites, rituals, ceremonies, Taoist “witchcraft”, Priests, Temples, Taoist Occult practices, metaphysics, religious dogma, or the selling of “trinkets.”
For us in this group, the teachings of Lao Tzu, through the Tao te Ching and also the teachings of Chuang Tzu are to be meditated upon, contemplated through, and used as a tool for introspection, and greater love, compassion, kindness, and meaningful life.
We are open to, and use any translation of the Tao te Ching here as a tool for exploring the Mystic Taoist teachings. I post entries in the group from the Tao te Ching and the Chuang Tzu regularly.
If you do not already have a preferred version of the Tao te Ching I recommend the translation and meta-analysis I created with a group of Mandarin speakers from 1972 - 2012. It is an accurate translation, gender-neutral, does not speak of God, or Western concepts concerning “virtue”, nor does it take poetic license with Lao Tzu’s or Chuang Tzu’s ideas, as many so-called “translations” seem to do.
I post regularly from this version, which can be obtained here.
I also post regular long-form commentaries on Mystic Taoism in this Newsletter at AskLewis.Substack.com. Please subscribe to this newsletter. It is free.
We do not promote anything commercially in this community/group though we do offer “For Fee Mentoring and Courses”. All money earned here is used to support various not-for Profits and Taoist motivated philanthropic projects.
Many people choose to study the teachings of Mystic Taoism with a mentor or guide, that is a wise approach and one that I have done myself over fifty years. If you have such an interest feel free to DM me through this group or email me at LewisCoaches@gmail.com.
