Get back to me and give me a shout if you don't mind bei ...[text shortened]... the idea of being converted ad truly believing, I want to just doesn't all make sense!

i am going to first introduce you to several different translations of lao tsu's tao te ching...
these will take some time to read, and they prolly will not make much sense, at first...
however, as you read and relate yer daily life to the wisdom of the tao, you will find that all things can be explained very simply...

i would be most happy to discuss these things...
even tho i myself do not completely understand the way tao permeates everything...
just that it does...

Except for being slightly male-centric, I've found the dudeist aricles to be excellent reading. Its just the right appraoch for the wound-up, highly strung seeker of spirituality. And yes, Jesus is included. As is Yoda.

May the force be with all of us.😵

Someone told me that the ewoks in "Return.." talk in Tibetan. I haven't had that verified but when I saw some Tibetans watching it , they were all giggling knowingly (?)

Yeah, it's like a mesh of Tibetan/ some indigenous mongolian language.
