Our friend Christopher Moors returns in this episode to talk about the “Journey to the East.” Our conversation involves Chris’ Zen outlook and insights. This west meets east spiritual combination has manifested in Chris’ life and Work. We speak about the process of creating internal stillness, the Road to Inner Light, ways of being, maintaining a fluid consciousness, making the leap from the head to the heart, and the historical and mythological journeys of others that we can use as examples and inspiration. Also notable is the importance of not creating beliefs by grasping for conclusions. “… this Magick is really symbolic of the Truth of our own life and our own existence. The Magick is real and the Magick can be all of ours when we uncover / recover the meaning and depth of our Soul.” - Christopher Moors relevant links: Creative Cosmos “Pearly Gates Press” by Christopher Moors “Podcast 32 - On the Spiritual Path with Christopher Moors” “Zen” Wikipedia entry “Tao Te Ching” by Lao Tsu “Alan Watts” Wikipedia entry “Alan Watts Teaches Meditation” “Osho” Wikipedia entry “Paramahansa Yogananda” Wikipedia entry “Whispers From Eternity” by Paramahansa Yogananda “The Journey to the East” by Herman Hesse (PDF file download) “Fama Fraternitatis” “T.
