   When Faced with the Absurdities of American Politics, The Taoism Helps

   http://uselesstree.typepad.com/ useless_tree/ 2008/ 09/ when-faced-with-the-absu…

   We have reached that moment in American presidential campaigns when I realize just how far out of the mainstream of the indigenous political cultural I am.  The precise instant was last night, as I suffered through Sarah Palin's speech.         What struck me was my divergence with the general view,

   Anger Part II: resolving it.

   http://personaltao.blogspot.com/ 2008/ 09/ anger-part-ii-resolving-it.html

   This is an interesting topic.In much of what I teach, are the seeds of how to resolve anger in one's life.Firstly: Don't remove all aspects of anger out of one's life. Anger does serve a purpose, and more importantly at times you need some anger when dealing with other people.

   Anger

   http://personaltao.blogspot.com/ 2008/ 09/ anger.html

   I have this question from a friend today:Very angry. Don’t know what I am supposed to do with anger. Can’t not feel it and I know it doesn’t serve a purpose but where to put it? Anger serves a purpose to release deeper issues, problems and internal conflict.It's the pressure release valve of the spirit.

   Hearts

   http://personaltao.blogspot.com/ 2008/ 08/ hearts.html

   I got this question this morning to shareIs it okay to close our hearts to people? If they have hurt us or even if they love us? To make a conscious choice to do it?In the larger truth: we are all one. Our hearts always touch and are shared.In the smaller truth: of where we are now, as we busily tussle and shift about being an individual.

    Teaching Taoism & Walking Away

    http://personaltao.blogspot.com/ 2008/ 08/ teaching-taoism-walking-away.html

    I teach Taoism with a twist. ... Which is no twist if you are being true to Taoist teaching ;)I add in modern references to make sure students today can also apply Taoist thinking in a way that both uses current language and takes in account changes to modern culture.Taoism dogma is about change, if
