Zen Made Easy is an accessible introduction to the paradoxical wisdom of the Zen Masters. Challenged by their down-to-earth craziness, we can embrace our ignorance before the great enigma of existence. Learning from their mysterious ordinariness, we can penetrate the magic of the present moment. Inspired by their unsentimental compassion we can understand that enlightenment is not just for holy sages or the fanatically disciplined. Anyone can experience enlightenment – it is our birthright. Zen is often portrayed as esoteric, but Zen is essentially about answering one simple question: '...

This introspective book chronicles the author's inner journey of self-discovery. Flowing freely between memoir, philosophy, and dreamscape, the author delves deep into the landscapes of his psyche, seeking to excavate insight and transcend old patterns. Rather than conforming to traditional narrative structures, the book embraces a neo-Jungian style focused on plumbing the subconscious through raw, uncensored self-expression. The author allows his pen to roam wildly across subjects from childhood memories to political musings to mystical visions, following intuition rather than logic. The ...

Ian Prattis’ new publication, Sacred Ceremony and Desert Legacy is another riveting medley of poetry and prose, autobiographical essays and a memoir of his mystical journey as a shaman and a Zen teacher. His gentle but powerful activism to save the Earth is the sacred glue fusing together all of the genres featured in this book. Prattis uses the power of the word to remind us to open our hearts and our senses to the natural world, to hear the symphony in the whale song, and marvel at the flight of geese, or to “see spring blossoms cast a rainbow in summer rain.” Prattis’ reflections...

The Victorian Plague is a satire on self-awareness, religion and philosophy. The title is an allegory to what eastern theology dubs the ego, its effect on the conditioning of the modern primate and civilization as it currently stands. It is the author's unfiltered zeitgeist and theory of reality. The author presents a deconstruction of our modern-day perception of what reality is, what it means to be alive and presents some subjective theories of the historical influences that led us to arriving at the awareness that we currently rest at.

Zen is a Buddhist practice that focuses on being present, accepting the current reality, and being non-judgmental of ourselves and others. In terms of leadership, it is a peaceful and relaxed way of approaching the objectives of a group or organization, knowing that goals can be met by trusting ourselves and the people whom we have the privilege of leading. This book is a quick guide for those striving to become servant leaders who empower and motivate teams to improve the performance of their organizations.

The topic of enlightenment has built up more baggage and cruft than the Titanic, and most of what's out there on the subject will sink you just as surely as that stupid iceberg. Gatekeeping the Gateless Gate is the zero fluff, high-snark dose of truth you've been looking for. No touchy feelie BS, no karma or dogma. If your goal is to be enlightened, this is the only book you will ever need (and frankly you don't even need this one, but hey whatever floats your boat.).

The kōan is an enigmatic or paradoxical question that defies logic, and forces you to break out of conventional modes of thinking, to use your imagination and intuition to arrive at a paradigm-shifting answer that moves you closer to enlightenment. A clichéd example that is commonly quoted is ‘what is the sound of one hand clapping?’ On the face of it, this seems like nonsense. Logic suggests that it takes two hands to make a sound. Many ‘correct’ answers have been suggested, but it is a mistake to think there is just one right answer; there are many. Some suggest that it is the ...
