Is The Chocolate Taoist Nation different or separate from the Chocolate Taoist? Is the Nation new or have I just not picked up on that before? I am very stimulated by what you write and very grateful.
Not a hero worshiper here, but what lights me up each day is my first reading encounter with TCT. What I have only in my 80s realised is I grew up without any intellect stimulation throughout my formative years. A few decades ago I found that what lights me up is c r e a t i v i t y against the mundane. I testify that hope survives it all and we can find and change what seems to have been our destiny and/or our eternal detriment. Creativity can be found in humans more often than what we may be able to observe in other life forms, but it is there nevertheless. I Light Up with music, words, ideas, work satisfaction, innovation, good food, good talk, and yes that eternal means of achieving a comfortable status with the thing called money. Not having had it when a child, I was taught by sad means that money was evil and those who had it were in some way dangerous and to be regarded with suspicion. Money is/was itself a creative thing developed in eastern Asia to dominate cultures that fell within the scope of authoritarian strength. We all need it and creativity assists in making it available for our use. Jack Weatherford's book on money is an excellent read, BTW. To my tribe friends here at TCT, I would love to read what y'all think about creativity and how it has influenced your lives! Love.
I've been working for years to get closer and closer to what resonates with me. it's always like peeling back an onion, getting cleared on what my soul needs. this is my year of saying NO. I have gotten clear on what my life purpose is, and anything that does not resonate with that purpose or bring me joy is not allowed in my life.

It’s the same. And yes, nation is new. I’ve just been experimenting with my brand a bit.
