"Beyond the gate of experience flows the Way, Which is ever greater and more subtle than the world." From the Tao Te Ching Major Taoist Scriptures The Tao Te Ching written by Lao Tzu. "The Way that can be experienced is not true; The world that can be constructed is not real." Zhuangzi, written by the same name sage is a book of prose, poetry, humor and disputation.

The Five Varieties of Zen An old Zen student called Hsiang-yen went to dokusan with Kuei-shan Ling-yu (771-853), the T'ang dynasty master, and Kuei-shan gave him a koan, of which over and over he was unable to see into it's mysteries. Hsiang-yen decided that it was all too much for him and he would surrender. He went away and found a sacred site, the grave of the Sixth Patriarch of Chinese Zen, Hui-neng, and maintained it as a shrine. Day in and day out he had no thought about the world except his sweeping. Then one day, sweeping away, he swept a pebble into a bamboo grove beside the shrine. Among the various types of Zen presented to the people of today there are some which are profound and some shallow, some that lead to Enlightenment and some that do not.

Gnosticism The term gnosticism derives from Latin gnosticus, which comes from Greek gnostikos (knowledge) and refers to gnosis which is a mystical and godlike knowledge of the heart and the soul. It is a journey of self-discovery and self-knowledge, which by experiencing the Truth within oneself awakes one's consciousness, hence bringing it into the state of pleroma (fullness or the totality of divine powers). "Matthew said, "Lord, I wish to see that Place of Life, that place in which there is no evil but rather where there is only pure light." The Lord said, "Brother Matthew, you cannot see it, as long as you wear the flesh." Matthew said, "O Lord, even if I cannot see it, let me know it." "The Dialogue of the Savior"- Codex III of the Nag Hammadi codices Uncovering this knowledge and the spiritual transformation that results from it is the goal of the gnostic seeker. Gnostic Teachings & Beliefs 1. These opposites are balanced and void in pleroma. Gnostic Practices Jesus' words to Thomas:
