Zen and the Art of... (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781500238544)

The once and former professor, academic dean, and elusive Zen master with an impossibly long vita, now.... Stripped away along with nearly everything else one may consider human in the wilderness. Surviving and emerging from the wilderness with an empirically provable view of ultimate reality birthed a strategic void, a no-thing that can only be described as a grand master (mahamuni). Some may call this void a buddha, but it is a void without affiliation. More elusive and mysterious than ever, it speaks for those ready to hear, ready to make choices and begin the long process of evolving out of the insanity. Bearing the name of the Zen master it once was, the invisible Mahamuni is on a mission of creation only a grand master can accomplish. When all hope is lost and civilization itself begins to crumble into the ashes of its own excesses, you can either choose to repeat the insanity at the risk of extinction or put creation to work and evolve what works into a sustainable world order. At the heart of this creation is another strategic void: Akademe where the enlightened are safely enabled to be what they are. So fools do not follow into horrible ends, those who know the name of what once was must never divulge the name or any details of its history. Those who believe their true sanity and enlightenment must prove their invisibility and answer one question: What is the improvable certainty you know that if said to anyone else would convince them you are insane? Not to say there is or is not a god, but those whose answer is god need not apply.
