Thx for invitation!
My late dad is ZhengYi Grand Master 正一道長 for 60 years in service. I’m a freethinker & a professional Cantonese Taoist 廣府喃嘸。
Chinese Government took power in 1949 and banned all religious practices, traditional Chinese Characters, where Commonism is the Supreme Power after all.
The continuity of Tao lies on Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macao, Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore & some other countries.
As China is influential now & temples located in mainland, they claimed that they are the genuine under all kind of “Entertainment Establishments 娛樂公司”.
I would like to share from Cultural perspective which is neutral in nature & discourage for superstitious.

Tao & Quantum Physic complementing each other. Before we understand the science behind, we called it supernatural. I would like to look at it simultaneously 😅

From my understanding, Tao is the Way of Natural.

From Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein, Stephen Hocking to Quantum Physics, there are many discoveries that benefited to mankind. From unknown to known, the Natural exists & new frontier kept expanding. When Lao Tzu 老子 wrote the Tao De Jing 道德經，he just use the Tao 道 to discribe as the Natural way. The recent Gravitational Wave discovery of LIGO project used extensive TaiQi 太極 concept. Is that your question?

55% or 4 billion of human being belongs to Abrahamic religions 亞伯拉罕諸教 believed their only God made every things. Most of the top scientists do not believe in God & Oriental philosophy inclusive Tao is their favorite leads.

That is religion organization, ZhengYi 正一道教，their top reference is Lao Tzu Tao De Jing 老子道德經。
My dad is the student of 63th Celestial Master Zhang 第六十三代天師張恩溥 in Southeast Asia.

According to the big bang theory, all the matter in the universe erupted from a singularity. Time, Space, Matter, Energy all begins at this single point.
Back in 2,700years ago, human technology & knowledge so much immature but yet, Lao Tzu clearly described the Tao & where he acquired his knowledge?
The shining stars we see could be millions light years away where we are looking at “history”?
From my point of view, spacetime & Quantum Physics of Entanglement could help us better understand Tao soon.

My uncle in-law was in USA for decades & we have totally lost contact for years. Out of sudden, his friend managed to call us & we had a video conferencing where he was in hospital for years. I knew that is our bon voyage & encouraged to leave the world bravely. Within half a day, he rested in peace.
My wife asked to organize a Tao Ritual to salvage him where all my Taoist seniors felt uncomfortable as the body in USA.
I took the full responsibility as the Ritual Leader & organise the ceremony as normal. As soon as our ritual begun, his soul arrived without boundary of space & one of my public company’s CFO relative told my wife where he is. Both my son & daughter already sensed it (inherited from my family) where the Ritual run smoothly with peace of mind. Thanks to all the relevant officers beyond conctributed to the suscessful event 😅

I tends to explore Tao at philosophy height instead of religion level which is rather strict forward. As a junior Taoist at mainstream (63th Celestial Master Zhang is my Grand Guru 張恩溥是我的師公), I would like to learn from each of you to expand insightful knowledge with open mind.

We have no temple & I have temporary on leave for service led to severe lungs infection.
Traditional Chinese Characters is a must.

There are 1,000+ Professional Cantonese Taoist Master scattered in Hong Kong, Macao, Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore. We have close coordination in the past 60 years for mutual improvement & upholding the continuity of Tao Practice. We are providing service in major Temple Ceremonies, ZhongYuan PuDu, Feneral Service & others.

Understanding of Yin/Yang is vital, just like in Physics +/- equal forces Co-exist for equilibrium balance or harmony.

Journey to the West is a story based on Buddhism.

Wow, the Supreme Power of Buddha imported from the West is so much powerful!? Just GuanYin PuSa could rope the Tao Character!?

In ancient China, Taoism very much like a University focusing on Cosmology & Geology 天文地理, Health & Medication 醫療保健, Metal Extraction & QiGong 治金煉丹, & many others well known contributions. The last piece is Talisman 符籙 remains least open that related to communication beyond!

IChing, the Probability & Binary Computing systems!

Good understanding.
If LaoZi not knowing what is Tao, so do I.
It is up to your own interpretation & need not sticking to any hard/rigid teachings. Be an open minder, trying to understand/observe the nature & focus in your best fit option.

At once, 5 of us (top tier pro Taoist) chitchatting about bone chocking charms 化骨咒，surprisingly all of us using different scrip but all proven effective when applied.
In my opinion, the key points:
1. We’re confident & truly believed
2. We mastered the Energy Resonance (炁 Qi)
3. The Reciever Fully Trusted in our practice, calm down with muscles relax, ...
4. Our Spiritual Guide coordinates with appropriate Officer-in-charge beyond

The Celestial Master Zhang was conferred by the Chinese Emperors as part of the Political Administration Leadership until the 63th Celestial. The end of the Monarchy marked the discontinued of 1,820years ZhengYi Tao that recognized globally.
Right now there are some 7 family members of Zhang claimed that they are the 64th or 65th Celestial Master Zhang & dispute in both Taiwan & China Courts. As usual, China Communist Government appointed a person not carrying family name of Zhang as the 65th Celestial Master Zhang for influence in Religion just like Catholic system.
It is a critical turning point & opportunity for transformation just like Buddhism originated from India (Nepal now) but less that 1% of India population is Buddhist & yet 8% of world population became the next largest religion after Abrahamic Religion (Christian, Muslim, ...).

Top of the list is our ancestors.
The next question is we are asking for something at an unknown price or we are offering our respect from bottom of our heart?

Grab is reasonable rewarded with set of challenges associated. We have the liberty to look at bright side or other at the same situation. Find some value out of the process in oder to divert our focus!
