Zen The Sense Of Nonsense: Anecdotes For Synaptic Deprogramming

This book is a Zen practice manual, and since Zen is concerned with the progressive disappearance of all the received conditioning until the ego's end in the glory of the Absolute, also a deprogramming manual. Enlightenment, a common term in the Zen world, is the release of all the synapses, that floating free give the sensation of the opening of the thousand petals of the lotus flower of divine consciousness. Zen is famous for being weird, sharp, and sometimes violent. Its funny stories, seemingly meaningless and inconclusive, have, in reality, the precise meaning to indicate the state of being, and the mind, beyond the inherited paradigms and commonplaces. Zen's universe is objectively subjective and subjectively objective, rooted in the common ground of understanding, which is the pure act of witnessing reality for what it is, without interpretations, definitions, and judgments. All of this is reduced to the simple dissipation of all the learned, resulting in the restoration of our brain, spinal cord, and central nervous system to the original state of functioning, conscious of having pressed, of our own free and spontaneous will and capability to understand and want, the reset button. The fifty proposed practices bring us here directly. Simultaneously, the anecdotes crumble the temple's walls and columns at a time, disintegrating the karmic crystallization of our ego cocoon finally and widening the infinite sky of absolute consciousness, devoid of form and full of everything, especially of truth, magnificence, and pleasure. That's universal teaching.
