>...to what? Truth?
YHVH is in no way "the Truth"

>All you need to do is read the Tao te Ching
Will do. Been on my reading list for a while. I know it's a short text but extremely dense and complex.

>You've bought into the post-modern lie that heeding old wisdom is the same as slavery.
No. I come from a point of view where the will of one can affect the gods and thus change his/her own fate. I've had a few experiences in my life that brought me up to this belief. The gods love the smell of our offerings, they can be beneficial to us and sometimes some forces want to feed on our misfortune and suffering, this is the time to tell them to fuck off - not to submit and take it as some sort of a test or anything in that line.

>Porn addiction? Drugs? Television addiction? A sports team? The incessant need to buy your favorite game studio's upcoming titles?
None of that. Tea and coffee is my worst "master" now and I'll drop that as well.
I'm in the process of moving out of the city and living of land where I can be my own master.

>their unconscious master is the consumer society in which we live
I agree. I'm absolutely sick of consoomerism.

>I'm no better, but at least I can acknowledge that it's a problem.
I am better because I'm getting better every single day.

>If you're born in a Christian/Western culture
I despise "the West". I'm not here to save it from modernity, I'd rather destroy it if it were in my power to do so.
