    About this ebook

    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.

    Andrea Scarsi

    Hi, from Andrea Scarsi. I consider myself a master of silence and chaos and define as a mystic, writer, musician, and healer when I use my works to share a dimension of being and lifestyle based on meditation and communion with the absolute — a lifestyle missing nothing since I honor everything divine. The rest of the time, I let myself drift in life and driven by natural forces, enjoy what happens in the unified field of consciousness.Born in Venice, Italy, in 1955, at fifteen, I began practicing yoga, spiritualism, and telepathy, and at eighteen, after a motorbike accident, contacting and channeling alien entities and visiting other dimensions. At twenty-four, on my first trip to India, I consciously enter the world of meditation. My guide is the spiritual master Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh, now known as Osho, who gives me the name of Swami Prem Sandesh, Love Message, and find myself a vegetarian.Through the years, I keep studying, practicing, and deepening various techniques for awakening consciousness, energy balancing, and personal evolution, leading to leading groups, conferences, and singing mantra.I love traveling and remained for long periods in India and Buddhist Southeast Asia: Japan, Thailand, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Hong Kong, China, Lao, and Tibet. I adore exploring local cultures, both meeting people and in the form of their rituals and religious practices applied to everyday life.Doctor of Metaphysical Science, Holistic Life Coach, Reiki Grand Master, Master of Crystals, Shamanism, Meditation, Massage, and Happiness, I write on spirituality and different subjects dear to my heart. In 1991 I married Ma Advaita Krishna, and we now live between Venice, Italy, and Goa, India. I prize to connect with people from all walks of life and sing and meditate together. Contact me at www.andreascarsi.com and premsandesh@yahoo.com.I like reading books that deeply dig into the universal and human soul.
