Embodied,
I am also brought up in a Taoist family and been exposed to esoteric practises if Taoism. Actually, Taosim and Hinduism share some commonalities.
Anyway, my reply to this thread is not directed at you, for accusing you of not having a firm belief in rebirth. If I had given you such an impression, please accept my sincere apologies. I have read your other posts and you have clearly stated that you do not not believe in rebirth.
