My meta-metaphysical view (so to speak) is that we all perceive the world slightly differently, and thus while we can compare notes and sometimes come to a broad consensus there's never going to be one single Truth we can all agree on. So while I don't see the world the same way as you (and I'm pretty sure I'm unlikely to, the more I think about religion and philosophy etc the less convinced I am of the primacy of the individual) I can respect that that doesn't make you wrong, and that your POV works for you (and lots of other people!).

That said, one of the things which has made me really question my own emphasis on individuality was actually an article about Tao. I have no idea how accurate it is, and personally think the author is a bit too scathing about westerners saying they understand asian culture given that that's exactly what he's doing himself, but I found the critique of protestant-turned-humanist attitudes usefully challenging. I'd put on your flameproof undies before reading though, he's pretty nasty about western Taoists too.

By the way, sorry I took so long to reply, I wasn't feeling 100% and if I'm going to poke at someone's deepest beliefs I want to make sure I'm feeling relatively tactful!
