Welcoming Beginner's Mind

Zen and Tibetan Buddhist Wisdom on Experiencing Our True Nature

By: Gaylon Ferguson

This nuanced commentary on the famous Zen oxherding pictures explores the paradox of welcoming our true nature anew at each stage of spiritual unfolding. Renowned for centuries, the classic Zen oxherding pictures vividly illustrate the stages of the spiritual journey—from seeking and finding to ultimately forgetting the illusory self and awakening to our true nature. In his commentary on these images, Gaylon Ferguson guides us on an experiential path into these seeming contradictions through welcoming—the simple, challenging, and always new possibility of opening to exactly what’s occurring in our experience. Distinct from meditation and mindfulness, this contemplative exercise leads us beyond spiritual bypassing (using spiritual practices to repress or avoid parts of ourselves) and spiritual materialism (practicing with a heavy sense of ego). Rich with teachings from the great Zen teacher and author of Zen Mind, Beginner’s Mind Shunryu Suzuki Roshi, as well as extensive commentary from Tibetan meditation master Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche and others who have illuminated the oxherding pictures, this book invites you into a process of spiritual maturation that never occurs elsewhere than here or other than now. Featuring a foreword by David Chadwick, author of Crooked Cucumber: The Life and Zen Teaching of Shunryu Suzuki.

Natural Bravery

Fear and Fearlessness as a Direct Path of Awakening

By: Gaylon Ferguson

Increasingly, we seem to live in a culture of fear, amid threats of terrorism, violence, environmental disasters, and distrust in our leaders. Fear and groundlessness are pervasive, but according to Buddhist teacher Gaylon Ferguson, it is the very potency of this fear that makes it such a powerful tool for personal and cultural transformation. Natural Bravery offers wise and pointed teachings for helping us to look at fear with immediacy and courage, and to engage with it as a path to transform ourselves—and the world. Walking this path, we learn to cultivate fearlessness and to connect more deeply with others and with the natural world.

Natural Wakefulness

Discovering the Wisdom We Were Born With

By: Gaylon Ferguson

There are two essential elements to the spiritual path says this popular teacher from the lineage of Chögyam Trungpa: (1) understanding that you’re already enlightened, already perfect in wisdom right here and now, and (2) accessing that natural wakefulness through spiritual practice. These two aspects depend upon each other and work together. Gaylon Ferguson’s teaching on the twin aspects of view and practice is a perfect introduction for the beginning meditator and it offers fresh perspectives for the non-beginner too.

Bonnie & Clyde - Clyde's Story

By: Gaylon Barrow

This story of, "The Barrow Gang" should put to rest the "myth of untruths". This is a factual story not one of assumptions. A lot of it you have heard before, but not told in the manner of the ones who lived it. Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker. After one reads the following true story they will realize a lot of lies were manufactured by the media, the law and by the entertainment industry, just wishing to make a few bucks off the tragic lives of two young people in love. Of course they made mistakes. Of course they were violent at least Clyde and some of his gang members were. But, all I ask is that one put aside what they think they know about this couple. Forget the media and myths and the tall tales. This story comes direct from the horse's mouth who lived it and died from it.

Clyde's Story of Bonnie & Clyde

By: Gaylon Barrow

WHATEVER HAPPENED TO THE METHVINS? The true story. They paid with their lives for the sneaky cowards they were. like the James gang one does not get away with being a rat to friends. What the United States does not understand is that there are numerous relatives of the Barrows throughout this nation. All are vicious to a degree. All are Patriots to a degree. Some were Democrats until they saw what sneaky traitorous snakes that party had turned out to be. This particular family's bloodline came from one Henry Barrow of Queen Elizabeth's court. He was a strong follower of hers until he denounced the Catholic Church after finding out it was a corrupt organization taking many people to be fools. The people should have awakened when the Church turned their back on God's son Jesus and allowed him to be slain in a horrible manner. For his obstruction they hung Henry. From this line the relatives who were left fled England and came to join up with an old friend John Smith of the Colonies.

Tomorrow in America

The Battle for the Souls of Our Children

By: Dr. E. Gaylon McCollough

Dr. E. Gaylon McCollough is an accomplished author, metaphysician, specialty plastic surgeon, and godly American patriot. In this, his twenty-third book, the doctor addresses how a deep state network that is aligned with Luciferian globalists, has infiltrated government, America's healthcare system, the mainstream media, public education, and the entertainment industry. With the souls of the America's children hanging in the balance, Dr. McCollough explains why patriots of all races, religions, and both genders must unite, to see that every child grows up in a world where God--not Luciferian governance--reigns supreme, as it was in the beginning.
