The Bible: Why God Had Nothing To Do With It

As the result of centuries of brainwashing and propaganda (motivated no doubt by interests at least somewhat pecuniary) an intriguing collection of ancient stories, genealogies, poems and fables has been transformed into a work of art that bears an aspect almost sinister. It has become the word of God.

Jesus: A Likely Story
(A non-theistic appraisal of Christianity's central figure, gleaned from the Gospel of Matthew)

It is entirely probable that there really was an individual by the name of Jesus who flourished in early first century Palestine. But it is just as improbable that he was the character presented to us in the gospels.

The Way of Twoness
(The Universe Has Two Faces)

The Way of Dreams
(Shao Jei's Journey)

“Some hear the words but not the message they convey. If you hear the words only, you listen; if you note the message, you truly hear.”
“How can one know if they have heard, Master?”
“How can one tell if he is awake and not dreaming?”
