I think a confusing thing is the ideas of 

Self and No Self. They can be actually similar if not the same. Ramana Maharishi speaks that when you let go of the Idea of I, and you see the self is an illusion you can discover the true I, and the true Self. Therefore, no self is the true self, sort of. Tricky tricky.

A mature spiritual aspirant must teach beyond words.

I have transcended identification with Buddhism, Taoism, or any teaching. However, I realize I resonate very strong with aspects of these teachings. They will feed my philosophy, and largely influence my career and work going forward. Especially Taoism. 
 

Taoism seems to be of the highest maturity and wisdom. 
 

The three teachings of China are Taoism, Confucianism, Buddhism. They each offer a wealth of wisdom when read in combination, by a mind well fed with many other self help books, life experiences, and spiritual texts.

Leo talks about transcending frames. I think that’s a good idea. However, I also need to first build my theoretical understanding of what schools exist, and then expand and grow . I however, shouldn’t expect to first reinvent the wheel. 
 

Toaist teachings seem to me to be very practical and synergistic with Actualized teachings and self help in general. 
 

This book The Tao of Leadership is one of the best books I’ve read.

My left hip/ leg is acting up. Pain for no reason. Maybe a pulled muscle? But it feels almost energetic in nature. Not sure.

@Thought Art Sciatic nerve is getting impinged?  Maybe a hip is out just a little bit..

My hip used to go out from traveling long distances on the Interstate with my wallet continually pushing my hip and slowly wrecking my posture,

@Zigzag Idiot think it is a pulled groin on left leg. Have trouble lifting it. Seems to be healing.
