Great, thanks for the links. I'll have a read when I can. On a quick skim, the Greek guy seems a bit overcome by fanboyism, but I don't consider that a reason to discount his whole account.

I'm more than just open to it, I'm actually fixated on questions of consciousness these days. I have a collection of reflections and ramblings in a text file which I feel some sort of moral responsibility to try and turn into a book or something some day, myself, though I have a poor record with following through with that sort of thing and no paper credentials to make it seem authoritative.

This could prompt me to look into the Tao/Dao some more since it seems like it could have a lot of overlap, cheers. Taoism remains in a blind spot for me unlike several other spiritual traditions I've come to take pointers from (much like the Perennialists). Who knows, maybe I'll go find this Chang myself.
