https://youtu.be/859f433vuy4 (My talk will bring you home) The myth that sells is the myth that we are always on the periphery, on the outside looking in, in exile in our own land, which is the myth of the lost garden. Where is home? Where are my people? Where can I…

LIFE IS ABSURD

ZEN IS ABSURD https://youtu.be/oacWEMZg8Uc (My talk is absurd) Life is desire, and to aspire to annihilate desire is absurd. Can you all see that?.
