This is something that I have been working on for the last couple years of my life.
I probably seem really pretentious uploading this, but hey, if it helps someone, then I can be whatever I need to be.
I love you all. May we find better ways.

These seem like very personal writings. It must have taken great courage for you to share them.
Our impressions are that the writing style and extensive use of simile remind us of the Tao te Ching, particularly the parts about being flexible (although it uses a comparison with water rather than metal). The prominence of a feudal "Lord," however, is more like the brands of Christianity we are familiar with. To us, it seems to conflict with the use of names like "Light" and "Way," because those are natural phenomena whereas a lord is someone who rules and compels obedience.
This is something you may not have considered, if you have been steeped in Christian culture, so we thought we would point it out. We don't have much else to say, except that we consider a comparison to the Tao te Ching to be a compliment.
