I would like to introduce you to a teacher that has had a profound influence on my personal spiritual path. There are many teachers and many paths, yet we all aspire for the same mountain. Each of us follows the path that holds the most perceived fulfillment for us, and fortunately we are often led to what we need the most. I personally found that my martial arts background led me to the austerities of Zen, where the Truth is found most often in a simple direct manner. I would like to offer a path that does not require any practice, other than simply learning to follow the logic of our everyday social interactions. Perhaps it would be best for me to get out of the way and allow Mr. Caroland to explain himself: Once we understand the complexities of relationships through our basic human needs and desires, we can then relate to everyone in a much more harmonious way. To accomplish this, we must look closely at our desires, motivations and agendas, as well as understand where our value and self esteem come from. We all look for certain basic needs from the people closest to us, but we often don’t appreciate the circumstances we put those around us through to fulfill these needs. Once we realize that we are the creators of our life experience through our motivations, desires and agendas, we can then understand where the chaos of life comes from. I would like to suggest Mr. Carolands website at: www.zennomore.com for more information and to purchase his book.

I bought that book at www.zennomore.com and read it. Let me say that it explained my point of view to others like no other. The book explained the conscience state of most most people are living, in doing this it was easy to explain my view of life. I think this book is a great explanation of self delusion, desires and how desire, and motivations, and agendas effect our daily life. When my friends read this book they all began to understand what they based they life on was imagined importance. I understand that the last chapter is there for people to begin to look at life and begin to look deeper, to learn more. I whole heartily love this book. Thanks you so much.

I was blown away with the book, Find Your Way. It explained paradoxes of life and why we get caught up in social, personal realities and none of them have anything to do with the truth of life. Everyone should really get this book. At first you don't know why your reading about personal relationships, until you read about the paradox of why we are having so much conflict. When you understand that the search for being special demeans others and all the other paradoxes in the book. You begin to see how and why you gauge yourself to find value and how others gauge themselves against you. Then at the end to read how to become the observer. Unbelievable, buy this book.
