The Way, the Word, the Work

Zen Christian Shamanism follows the Zen Way, the Christian Word and Shamanic Work.

o

The Zen Way is mindfulness, headlessness, meditation.

The Christian Word is logos, muthos, prayer.

The Shamanic Work is liturgy, theurgy, ceremony.

o

The Way is forgetting the world through a cloud of unknowing, a via negativa, a self-emptying kenosis.

The Word is remembering God through mantra, lectio divina and faith, pistis.

The Work is remembering God through numinous experience and direct spiritual knowledge, gnosis.

o

Forget the world and remember God.

Forget Babylon and remember Zion.

The kingdom of Gaia is within you.
