08.31.08The Secret Key to the Spiritual MysteryBy Steve Mills Mystery makes the world go around. The only reason you are reading this article, and not checking your facebook or twitter profiles is that you don’t know how it is going to end. When things get predictable people tend to lose interest and look elsewhere. When you get down to the fine detail and study life closely, Mystery is the animating force of the world, the reason why every man and woman gets up in the morning, has breakfast and steps out into the wild crazy world. The search for meaning and answers behind the events of your ...

08.26.08The Art of DIY EnlightenmentOr How to Achieve Liberation Without Joining a Cult By Seamus Anthony The Age of Do-It-Yourself Enlightenment has arrived. Here's social proof (check out the comments). But what does this actually mean? Well, in our welcome post Steve and I explained this concept quite well.

It’s about learning to go with the flow and really experience life free from other people’s rules and dogma. It’s about recognising that ‘enlightenment’ is a concept that you are free to ...

08.24.08Too Busy for SelfBy Steven Mills Firstly, Hi to all of our new subscribers to Rebel Zen and for the great comments we have been getting for the latest posts. Both Seamus and I really appreciate your thoughts and feedback. I wanted to write today about a concept that is all too common for modern, internet connected people. Almost everyone I know these days seems to be living their life at a frantic pace, working far too much and not spending enough time on themselves. They are living life at a speed that would make even Led Zeppelin circa 1973 want to lie down and take ...

08.21.08Rebel Zen Master: Jonathan MeadBy Seamus Anthony This is the first installment of the (spontaneously created) "Rebel Zen Masters Interview Series", where we interview people from differing walks of life that we feel represent the Rebel Zen ethos. I am sure this happens to most us: Every now and then you come across a writer, musician or artist of any kind and get blown away by their work. Exploring their wares you get all excited and inspired and find yourself thinking "Man - that's exactly how I feel!". Well that's what happened to me just last week when I stumbled across Jonathan Mead's writing at IlluminatedMind.net I promptly ...

08.16.08You Are Already Enlightened…... the trick is getting in touch with this truth so that you feel it. By Seamus Anthony If you read a lot of Zen stuff, enlightenment stuff, you'll come across the idea that we are all inherently enlightened, and I believe that this is true. But also true is that most people don't usually feel anything like they're enlightened at all. In fact most people either don't even know what enlightenment is or they believe that it's something "up there" that they cannot hope to achieve. Well, we're not the first but we at Rebel Zen are here to tell you that ...

08.05.08Curly’s Law: How a Fictitious Hollywood Cowboy Showed Me the Meaning of LifePart Two of a Three Part Series (here's the first) By Seamus Anthony One line from the cheesy 1991 movie City Slickers (yes, the one starring Billy Crystal) helped me to achieved absolute and total spiritual enlightenment in a blinding flash of inspiration. And no, I am not kidding you. Well, actually ... maybe just a little bit ;-) But the point is I did get something amazing out of that film and this is a thing that I later came to see being referred to as "Curly's Law". Curly's law states simply this: Do One ...
