Yes, and a big part of Taoism (or, following the Tao) is about getting back in sync with the natural way. That includes the ways that our conditioning/beliefs/etc. take us out of it.
Many people (I'm not saying you, dECLAN, just pointing out a position) take 'the way' to be 'sit back and do nothing'. But it's so much more - and so much less - than that.
It may sound funny, but "The Tao of Pooh" and "The Te of Piglet" are actually good Taoism primers, for anyone just starting out.
