Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance
abracad, · Categories: books, purpose, reviewsFrom the vast collective literary output of mankind very few works are worthy of the epithet classic. Robert Pirsig's 1974Â semi-autobiographical(?) Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance (ZMM) is one of the few - a true modern classic.
Essentially ZMM consists of three distinct but interwoven stories. Superficially it is a travelogue, about a man - the un-named narrator - motorcycling across the United States with his somewhat troubled son, Chris; for the first part of the journey they are joined by friends, the couple John and Sylvia Sutherland. It is also the story of a man haunted by a "ghost", that turns out to be his former self. Finally, as suggested by the subtitle, An Inquiry Into Values, ZMM is a discussion on philosophy inspired by the cultural upheaval of the time (epitomized by the counter-culture and hippie scenes) concluding that a re-discovery of quality is the key to the re-harmonization of an increasingly dichotomous society.

CHRISTOS: A Metaphysical Thriller
abracad, · Categories: books, externally authoredby Daniel Brako - Chapter 2
Sydney Harbor sparkled as the city’s evening lights reflected off its rippling surface. Although similar to many major ports across the globe, this one boasted two distinctive landmarks which set it apart. One was a bridge. The other was a building unlike any the world had ever seen.
With ten enormous roofs resembling zigzagging sails, the Sydney Opera House was not only an architectural achievement, it was a modern sculpture. Gently lit by strategically placed lights, its white tiles contrasted sharply against the black night, in what promised to be an enchanted evening.
Breaching the shell-like walls, the magic extended inside, seeping into the Opera Theatre—a sweeping auditorium furbished with brushbox timber floors and white birch seats upholstered in red wool. Currently filled with several hundred people, they all peered towards the stage and its 8 x 16 meter Curtain of the Sun. Created by artist John Coburn, the arresting wool tapestry featured abstract designs in warm colours such as pink, red, orange and brown. But it was the woman who stood in front of the impressive stage curtains who most captured the audience’s attention.
Dr Kate Yves was a 37-year-old research psychologist who specialized in the fields of modern spirituality and human potential. Standing by the podium, she wore a flowing evening dress which fell softly against her svelte body. Unassuming yet confident, her lush auburn hair was cut just below the shoulders, framing a serene face. When her crystal voice spoke into the microphone, there was a sense that the magic was about to escalate. (more…)

The book is essentially a treatise on the importance of meditation as a 'pathway to divinity'. Whatever we meditate upon, Allen explains, we become. If you meditate upon ' that which is selfish and debasing, you will ultimately become selfish and debased'. Whereas if you meditate upon ' that which is pure and unselfish you will surely become pure and unselfish'.
Now copyright expired and in the public domain, new age spirituality is delighted to offer The Way of Peace as a free online ebook.
