Zen Christian Shamanism is Headlessness, Holiness, Wholeness.
Zen Christian Shamanism is Kenosis, Gnosis, Pistis.
Zen Christian Shamanism is the Way, the Truth and the Life.

There is a weak form and a strong form of Zen Christian Shamanism:
The weak form is a weak interaction between three common conceptions of Zen as calm mindful presence, Christianity as selfless love and Shamanism as psychedelic journeying.
The strong form is a strong interaction between Zen as satori, Christianity as christification and Shamanism as ego death and rebirth. The three things are ultimately one and the same. In the end all things point to Zen.

“What is Zen?
Try if you wish. But Zen comes of itself. True Zen shows in everyday living, CONSCIOUSNESS in action. More than any limited awareness, it opens every inner door to our infinite nature.
Instantly mind frees. How it frees! False Zen wracks brains as a fiction concocted by priests and salesmen to peddle their own wares.
Look at it this way, inside out and outside in: CONSCIOUSNESS everywhere, inclusive, through you. Then you can’t help living humbly, in wonder.”
