Casey Shaul Part 1 Pooh: Pooh’s character fits into P’U because he understands Inner Nature, he follows the Cottleston Pie Principle, and he applies Tz’u to his life.

Pooh also goes with the flow, therefore everything tends to work out for him and he doesn’t have many problems.

She doesn’t have the Natural Simplicity philosophy of Taoism because nothing comes simply to her, it’s always more on the complicated side.
