My introduction

Note before starting: this is a very personal look at my 71-year spiritual journey. Being quite out of the ordinary, I hope you enjoy it…

 

My long, slow arc of spiritual awareness from childhood Presbyterianism to Eastern Thought today

Now that I look back at it, my spiritual journey to understanding Eastern Thought has been lifelong. I was raised Presbyterian, which was a compromise between my father, who was 100%, fourth generation Irish Catholic on both sides of his family, and my mother, who was a Methodist of the hardcore variety. Thus, Presbyterianism was considered to be a compromise on both sides. Through it, my father – always a deep, reflective thinker and writer – became an atheist and wanted to get away from what he considered to be his phony existence. Desiring to channel Henry David Thoreau, he asked my mother to go live and work on a fully functional farm with him, which my citified mother refused to do. He left us to realize his dream, while leaving all of his books in the house.

Forbidden books freed my soul

From that time on, I spent as much time as possible on my dad’s farm, and it has and continues to have a huge, positive impact on my life. Yet, probably an even bigger impact was his book collection. Starting aged 12, I read Bertrand Russell, Dostoevsky, Nietzsche, Carlos Castaneda, John Stuart Mill, Voltaire and others. Although I’m sure I did not understand half of it, I understood the other half.

Thus, at the age of 12, I taped a letter on the front door of our Presbyterian church, saying that I had become an atheist and no longer wanted to go through catechism, etcetera. From that time on, I was an atheist, although in recent years I have become very mellow and less strident. When I was in the Arab world from 1980 to 1990, I of course had to lie and tell them I was a Christian. Otherwise, I would have been either, at a minimum, totally rejected, or at worst killed. That was one of my first experiences of religious intolerance.

When we moved to China in 1990, I began to get a taste of Eastern Thought

In Mainland China from 1990 to 1997, Confucianism, Daoism, and Buddhism were not nearly as manifest as they are now. Nevertheless, I did start to learn and read about these three great schools of Eastern Thought, although only superficially. When we came back to China in 2010, their presence was much more prominent, with Xi Jinping making concerted efforts to reorient the people to traditional values and reject Judeo-Western versions. All during the time from 2010 to 2019, I continued to do research and study Confucianism, Daoism and Buddhism, not to mention communism-socialism of the Chinese variety, especially Mao Zedong Thought.

Those evil Talmud-Tanakhs

At the same time, my growing Arc of awareness about the Talmud-Tanakh West became more and more accentuated, which is fully fleshed out in The China Trilogy (https://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B00TX0TDDI/allbooks), up to today, with over 1,500 posts I’ve created on my website (https://radiosinoland.com/blog-2/) and counting.

COVID is Talmud-Tanakh and humanity is paying a terrible price

All of us really got a taste of the evilness of Western Thought with the COVID pLandemic, that was foisted on the world by Talmud-Tanakh psychopaths at Fort Detrick in Maryland, USA, the largest bioweapon manufacturing facility in the world, as well as at the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) with Anthony Fauci, whom I found out later was/is the actually puppet for Jewish Mossad to depopulate Planet Earth. Jewish Mossad controls NIH, thus it also controls Big Pharma, DARPA and bioweapons, which explains a lot. This article exposes that horrific truth (https://radiosinoland.com/2025/02/16/omg-jewish-mossad-controls-us-nih-foisting-covid-19mrna-onto-humanity-to-kill-billions-plus-epstein-rfkjr-gates-netrumpanmusku-who-wef-are-one-big-happy-family-radio-sinoland-250216/).

My wife and I were in France during COVID and we knew what was going on. We had done our homework, we knew it was a bioweapon, and we knew that the injections were not vaccines at all, but genetic mutation bioweapons to destroy humanity.

Because we refused to get the shots, we were literally under house arrest for a year and a half in a small village, under intense, relentless governmental and neighborly pressure to, “Do the Right Thing”. We held out, but to survive the immense psychological harassment, my wife dove into auto-hypnosis and Eastern mysticism. I contacted her acupuncturist, whom we knew in China. She gave me the contact for a weekly Zoom Buddhist discussion group, which I joined in early 2020. Since then and every week, I have been faithfully studying Buddhism and learning more and more about its manifold profundities.

My spiritual search with Buddhism

I am not a devout Buddhist. Harking back to my days on the family farm, I strongly support animal agriculture and drink wine or beer at dinner. This is another of my observations comparing systems of thought. Buddhists are extremely indulgent, tolerant and are not judgmental like in the West. By the West, I mean Christianity and Islam, where believers are constantly judging others, for example, for not going to church regularly or eating pork, respectively.

Buddhists are some of the most non-judgmental people in the world. They accept you as you are. We are surrounded by Buddhist monks, nuns and temples. They live in our Taiwanese neighborhood, fully robed, with shaved heads. We socialize and exchange food as gifts. When I answer, No, to being a vegetarian, they couldn’t care less. No moralizing, no criticism and their peaceful joy shines through.

Buddhism suits me really well, because it is in fact an atheistic religion, although over the millennia, Bodhisattvas, Arhats, (Daoist) local gods and goddesses have been incorporated into the fold. There is no supreme god in Buddhism. Buddha, of course, has been deified over the millennia, but in fact, he never insisted on being anyone more than a teacher.

Buddhists are also not evangelical. When I was in the Arab world for ten years, I was constantly being pushed to convert to Islam, especially since I spoke, read and wrote Arabic fluently. Evangelical Protestant Christians are just as bad, always trying to “save lost souls”. When my family lived in Bible Belt, Protestant Oklahoma, USA, we felt compelled to join a non-creedal Congregational church, just to be accepted and left alone by our neighbors. Don’t go to church? You don’t exist as a human being.

Back to Satanic Judaism

The Judeo-genocide in Palestine specifically and in the Middle East, generally (Yemen, Syria, Iraq and the attempts to destroy Iran, etc.) brought my arc of awareness to Judaism.

About a year ago, I started to do serious research into Judaism and was shocked and mortified what I learned. The simple fact of the matter is that Judaism is Satanism. Everything evil that ails the West: pedophilia, incest, pornography, prostitution, child trafficking, human trafficking, organ harvesting, forever wars, slavery, usury, capitalism and imperialism all have their roots in Judaism, which is Satanism. Since then, I have learned that the Bible’s Old Testament is, in fact, the Hebrew Bible (Tanakh), which explains why half of the Christian Holy Book is evil and satanic – with the New Testament being Jesus’ warnings to Jews that they are evil, Satanic and had better change. Sadly for the human race, nothing has changed in 3,000 years of Judaism.

If you think I am exaggerating about Judaism, here is the link to my Judaism Library, which represents over six months of work (https://radiosinoland.com/2025/01/23/judaism/). It’s about 125 pages long, if you print it out. I have hundreds of more entries that I would like to put into it, but I just don’t have the time. Spend as much time as you can to peruse it, and you will see what exactly what I mean. Judaism is Satanism, so I now don’t even count it as a monotheistic religion.

Living in Taiwan Province and seeing Judeo-Luciferianism are inspiring my deeper searches into Eastern Thought

Just in the last year, I felt compelled to learn more about Eastern Thought, because of what I learned about Judaism and its insidious psychopathic impact on Christianity and Islam. At the same time, fifteen months ago, we moved from France to Taiwan China. It has taken me about a year to realize how deeply spiritual and holistic the Taiwanese people are. Thus, thanks to our experiences here on Taiwan Island, I began to parse Confucianism, Daoism, Buddhism even more, expanding into their other great Chinese philosopher-teachers, one who came before them and the others who came after (see cheat sheet below). Compared to the psychopathic, genocidal, perverted, debauched Talmud-Tanakh West, there is no comparison.

I support Christianity and Islam against the Judeo-onslaught to destroy them

Now I understand that the Talmud-Tanakhs have been trying to destroy Christian civilization for 2,000 years and Islamic civilization since its inception in the 7th century AD. While I may not always agree with these latter two religions, I fully support their efforts to maintain their native beliefs, practices and respect them both, in the face of this Judeo-onslaught. For the last five months, Evelyne and I have been going to a local Catholic church for Mass on Sundays. She grew up Catholic and I’m really appreciating the ceremony, rituals and solidarity among the congregation, with its Malawian priest, who speaks fluent Mandarin.

Catholicism versus Protestantism versus Judaism

It is another step along my spiritual arc of awareness. I can see that Catholicism is New Testament and full of Jesus’ compassion and redemption. Catholicism is not dissimilar to Buddhism in this respect. This, while Protestantism, in which I was raised, uses much more the Satanic Tanakh/Old Testament, with its angry, violent, genocidal, jealous and vindictive God.

I detest Satanic-Judaism. It is the ruination of humanity and succeeding quite well towards those ends. Just look at global headings and study my Judaism Library for confirmation (https://radiosinoland.com/2025/01/23/judaism/).

Daoism drives Eastern Thought

What I have discovered and is really revelatory on Taiwan Island is that Daoism is the supreme driving force behind Eastern Thought. Laozi’s The Way of the Dao – only 5,000 words – not much longer than many high school essays, completely transforms Eastern Thought in extremely profound ways. I could not see that, even knowing a Daoist priest on the Mainland, until living it here.

They say DPRK is the most Confucist culture on Earth and Thailand is the most Buddhist. In that case, the Taiwanese are the most Daoist culture anywhere. Yes, they are also deeply Buddhist and Confucist, but I know of no other culture where Daoism so broadly permeates daily life and spirituality. This helps explain why the Taiwanese are some of the most cultivated, kind, patient, caring and courteous people I’ve ever met – and I’ve traveled to over 85 countries.

Just outside our home is a Local God (Daoist) temple and a small, fully functional Buddhist monastery, where we have become friends. Twenty-five minutes further on foot is another Local God/Ancestor (Daoist) temple and the world-class Dimu Daoist Temple (https://radiosinoland.com/2025/05/20/adventures-in-asia-with-ladyb-laolao-and-gonggong-story-23-30-photos-and-videos-of-fabulous-fascinating-dimu-temple-a-30-minute-walk-from-where-we-live/). Only 200 meters in another direction is a Local God/Ancestor (Daoist) temple. In another direction, we only have to walk 40 minutes past another Local God/Ancestor (Daoist) temple to the sublime Lingyan Buddhist Monastery, where hundreds of monks and nuns live. In all cases, Confucist, Daoist and Buddhist iconography are syncretically melded into unified Eastern Thought. The only exception in Lingyan, since it is a working temple fully dedicated to Buddha, and we have the pleasure of seeing it from our terrace.

Using Maps on my phone, if I request Buddhist Temple, Daoist Temple or Confucist Temple, my screen lights up like a Christmas tree (pardon the pun), with places to visit in every direction.

In fact, I plan on writing an essay entitled, In Defense of the Taiwanese, since their economy and society are so widely misunderstood around the world. I was under the same misconceptions, until it clicked for me after living here for a year.

Conclusion

In the meantime, enjoy my cheat sheet on Eastern Thought below. Open this link to print out the PDF, which is correctly paginated. Post it on your refrigerator or keep it by your bed for further learning. Jesus Christ, Plato, Socrates and the Greek Stoics align with Eastern Thought’s main lines of thoughtful, humanitarian reasoning, which helps explain why they were marginalized and largely ignored by the West’s Talmud-Tanakh, kakocratic 1%, who put Aristotle’s elitist, class-stratified sociopolitical dictatorship on a pedestal.

These latter won the day and we long-suffering Westerners and the rest of humanity’s Goyim have been putting up with this miserable, psychopathic, Judeo-sickness for three millennia and counting, which has deep, destructive and deleterious defects in its DNA .
