Maybe a paradoxical question by taoism terms but do you agree?

‘Cause i do

Is ir similar to something as chi?

For me, the yin-yang was always a symbol of hope in tough mental times and throughout a long period, I heard about the tao and tried to get into it but never fully invested and understood it.
Until I was enrolled into a mental balancing house (fitting) and there met a teacher named “Amitai” which studied the Tao and lived in China for 7 years and also lived in Shaloin temples, I don’t even remember how we got to this topic but straight ahead he started to explain to me and other students about the principles of the Tao and Lao Tzu’s teaching.

He was a Sports teacher, but ever since I came in his lessons were solely Taoistic and started to influence the other teens, we formed a group and invented the term “Shaoling Power” which was a joke started by some crazy teen that we used as a real term, simillar to “Te” and the inner power within.

But the most interesting thing about this story that most of the principles he taught was things I already believed in and were inside me.

Mine is probably 1 still, actually concises most of the principles in a few sentences

I recognize taoist patterns and motifs in every conversation and situation, and see reality as truly non-competitive and fully up to interpretation
Can you relate?

I personally have a strong issue of guilt about the past, and because my mental state is very unstable (bi polae) I burnt bridges and my emotions are just being held then explodes.
Everytime I remember past friendships and memories I get overwhelmed by this sense of guilt and regret and what worsens it is that I have to find “the answer” and what I did wrong.
I relate to Taoism because of “the unseen path” and the approach that we should release the desire to find the answer and how it paradoxically heals a part of me.
