Nowadays people use the word Zen indiscriminately for everything from the Zen of making an instant fortune overnight to the Zen of cooking hard boiled eggs. But what is Zen and what are its philosophical origins as a living tradition of Mahayana Buddhism? This book explores the original “no-mind” teachings of early Zen Buddhism as they evolved in T’ang Dynasty China during the 8th and 9th centuries. In short this book is about Zen before it became Zen.

The secret teachings of Jesus decoded for the twenty-first century. Over two thousand years ago a being was tasked with delivering an important message to a planet, in a distant galaxy. That being was called Jesus. There was a problem. The period in which Jesus entered that world meant His message would not be understood for over two millennia. The solution. Find a person who was not influenced by the culture of the time and give this person the message. Encrypt the message so it could be kept safe for the future, when it could be understood. That message is in the Gospel of Thomas. This book decodes the message.

A brief look at the Soul's history and destiny

Amazed by the splendour and vastness of creation, the Psalmist wonders why man specifically is favoured and blessed by God. What made him think that God is mindful of man? Could it be our likeness to God? Or, that we alone are well-equipped, physically and intellectually, to be stewards of creation? Perhaps, it was an awareness of our wonderful purpose that evoked his wonderment?

A Pragmatic History of the Early Church

Festinger et al in When Prophecy Fails, (1955) shows clearly that beliefs arise ex nihilo. As long as there is sufficient expectation, commitment and logic behind the belief it will prosper. In fact, Festinger showed that disappointed prophecies actually make believers more fervent. These conditions were all satisfied in the first Roman-Jewish War, when the political Messiah failed to appear.

O-M-G, Om-inspired poetry? You heard right! Or maybe you didn’t hear.
Here’s hoping this pocket-sized poetry book finds its way into your permanent (or impermanent) collection – and that Buddhists find a way to ‘make it’ in the West. There’s only one Dalai Lama, but many ignorant Westerners.

"Look for God, because the delusion is to believe in nothing at all!"

The Battle of beliefs between the Christian Church and Gnosticism

Religious history in the Western world has been dominated by the power and doctrinal discipline of the Catholic Church.

When you’re driving a car and you want the car to turn the corner you don’t get out of the car, lift it and carry it around the corner. When you want to control a person you don’t have to fight the whole body. You attack one portion of the body and take control by exerting pain. Everybody responds to pain.” - Raoul Kent
