Taoism review

1. I find the concept of wu wei really interesting.I think that the concept of accomplishing things by basically doing nothing and following nature really plays a role into eliminating stress in ones life. I too found it difficult to understand the life of Lao Tzu. There are so many mysteries that it makes it seem as if the religion could have many starting points.
2. My understanding of Tao is that Tao is the way in which the universe works. It holds the explanation for the reason the way things are. The Tao is similar to God because Tao serves as the explanation for the universe, but it is different because Tao applies to everything, it doesn't necessarily take on a human form. 
3. There really is not a western equivalent to ch'i unless you consider living and maintaining a healthy lifestyle ch'i. Diet, exercise and health practices affect my own spiritual lifestyle because maintaining a healthy lifestyle helps me to focus more on my own spiritual relationship with God.
4. I do not really believe in magic but I do think there can be unexplainable things which can appear to have "magical" qualities. Just because you cannot explain something doesn't make it magic. There might be a logical answer that you just do not know. 
5. My understanding of wu wei is that you follow the path of nature to achieve you goals. Since nature is always perfect if you follow that you will not make any mistakes in following that path.
6. Yin and Yang are the light and dark forces that must be in agreeance for the universe to be in order. I think it is a hinderance to speak in "masculine" and "feminine" spiritual energies because it creates that sense of inequality between genders.
7. i think that some actions are instinctively good and evil because across the globe they are considered bad and looked down upon.
8. I think that life does bend back upon itself but when you come back around you are more experienced and have learned important life lessons and have grown in a way that has prepared you to go back to your origins.
9. I don't think that there are any other religions that can be considered lighthearted because they all are pretty serious when is comes to rituals and traditions and most are not very flexible.
