About this blog
The short version:
Rebel Zen is a blog run by me, Seamus Anthony.
It is about Meaning: the search for it and how to deal with it’s ultimate absence.
It is about achieving inner-peace AND worldly success – and the tension that often exists between the between the two needs.
If “Rebel Zen” as a phrase means anything at all (which it probably doesn’t – it just sounds cool), then it’s about the dynamic interplay between our need to gratify our desires to kick-butt and our quieter needs for peace and fulfillment of a more ’spiritual nature” (although I hate the word spiritual as to me it implies fluffy ideas like “souls” which I am not entirely convinced exist, not as they are commonly understood anyway).
It’s also sometimes, but not often, about that Greek fried cheese dish with a name that sounds to me like a Japanese word – God, I love that shit.
The Long Version
All of the above but also the following:
- I tend to go right off topic a lot, especially as I am forever pushing my music. Feel free to ignore or dig as you see fit.
- Rebel Zen began as a blog run by myself and Steve Mills, but now it’s just me, so you will find plenty of mentions of “we” and “us” and also some of Steve’s fine writing.
- I currently have two slogans on the go, both of which I love and despise simultaneously (like anything I write really). They are:
Rebel Zen and the Glorious Art of Being Imperfect
Rebel Zen: DIY Enlightenment
Buggered if I can choose which one to use; maybe I need to waste an afternoon dreaming up a third
- As of May 30th 2010 I have uploaded a new website design so there may be glitches in the matrix as yet undiscovered by me so feel free to let me know if anything is broken.

Boys, you are so on the mark. Absolutely refreshing and origional. I have been meditating for over 20 years and have met few that actually get it, as you do, and have the balls and guts to do it their own way as opposed to folowing traditional disciplines. I have incredible respect for more formal, traditional methods of meditation but know first hand, that all that matters is the outcome of finding a path to self-realization. I applaud your, most entertaining efforts.

Ahhh, this is too weird man. My “handle” for years has been Unkle Zen.
Anyway, Rebel…..we are kindred spirits. I am a long-time composer and singer-songwriter. Recently, I was inducted into The Kansas Music Hall Of Fame joining Pat Matheny, Martina McBride, Kansas and others.
Anyway, I absolutely love this website, your writing and Curly’s Law. God bless you my man. As a return gift, I want to invite you to my website to listen to some music. I have 14 CDs….but two of them are New Age/World meditative fare…. “Red Mesa Sunset” and “Earthways” (very meditative). You gave me a nice freebie…..and I am returning the favor.

Stop by Zen….put on some nice earphones and enjoy. Use the “Album” feature to specifically listen to all of an album. Each of these will take you away.
I look forward to hearing back from you…..and to my continued visits to your wonderful site!
Go Bless,
