That sounds like you replaced one belief system with another. It is hard for me to see that one is necessarily better or "truer" than the other.

  Trying out belief systems is like choosing programming languages: rather hard to appraise them without actually trying to build something and run it in your wetware computer.

  heliocentrism and geocentrism are also belief systems. it’s choosing one that gives better results (and makes more sense). you already have an implicit belief system, too

I would argue you can just read this: https://realization.org/p/ashtavakra-gita/richards.ashtavakra-gita/richards.ashtavakra-gita.html https://realization.org/p/ashtavakra-gita/richards.ashtavakr... Advaita Vedanta is rather similar to Taoism.

  ...? Just did a very cursory reading, sounds nothing like Laozi.

    From what I remember of Laozi, he also describes entering an indescribable state of mind. Zhuangzu also explores themes of accepting the world as is, and accepting death.
