Folks usually don't know who they are regardless of what they think or believe (me)
Folks usually act in a way that reflects they don't know(me)
Folks will do almost anything not to know (me)

There is usually pleasure when folks act out of the experience of who they really are (me)

I am trying to be who I am (me)
I do this by seeing thoughts and beliefs for what they really are, thoughts and beliefs and nothing more. (me)
I see that "I" is a thought too (me)
Helping others to see themselves authentically seems to make it more pleasurable all around. (me)

There is obviously some influence from Zen, Taoism, and Advaita, rippled through those statements. But that would make them beliefs, I'm just stating what I experience.


I would like to conduct an experment of sorts.

Please list the tenets or beliefs of your chosen faith WITHOUT any of the mystical/supernatural clutter.

Basicly if you can't answer the question 'why' of any tenet without envoking something supernatural it does not belong on the list.

Also list any religion your familar enough with to comment on, this will give a broader range of answers.

I have a hypothisis about this that I will share when we have the list compiled.

This should be interesting.

The list of tenets:

Observe the processes of nature and learn. Taoism, philosophical
Live your life as it makes you happy. Taoism, philosophical
Avoid that which is detrimental to health and happiness. Taoism, philosophical
