American Zen Buddhist Rock Podcast L2-08

PODCAST #8 for the Level 2 = Christ Killer CLASSIC ROCK ALBUM by American Zen, featuring The Hippy Coyote on flute and acoustic guitar. Continuing at actZEN.com, Coyote picks up from last weeks' "Wanting To Be An Older Person." Starting this podcast at "Wanting To Be," Coyote discusses how life is a collection of paths that creat YOUR PATH. The webpages of actZEN.com were written by Master Zhen Shen-Lang of the Shaolin Zen Buddhist CyberTemple at shaolinZEN.org Coyote becomes concerned that his mental vision of his own path might have been a scene from THE WIZARD OF OZ. "To Be A Person," is a mixture of both activities and identities. Advising that people choose their jobs and life to create a BALANCE in your life. Then Coyote accidentally skipped p8 of Section 3. So, prematurely, Coyote enters the MATURE section of the actZEN.com website. This skipped page of a BALANCED LIFE will hopefully be addressed next week. "Be A Parent To Yourself," discusses how each of us formulate a parent within us that is primarily based upon our original parents. "You Are The Mature You Planned by Them," includes a statement that 'most people are crappy parents." Baking the NEW YOU requires removing all negative ingredients. More warnings to separate your emotions from your memories. "You Are The Matured Planned by Them," requires writing sentences formulated from the best qualities of your parents. Do not identify yourself by your job. Maturity means you are capable of any job... "The Mature You Planned," explains that you must align your job and career and other parts or your daily life as if all these ingredients are the meal YOU ARE COOKING. Created for some of Master Zhen's Tai Chi and Kung Fu students who are actors, Coyote embellishes and interprets the writings on each of the actZEN.com webpages. Featured songs: "I Want To Laugh #2" from the American Zen LEVEL 2 = Christ Killer cd. Background songs: "Great Salt Lake," the flute INTRO song, is from the cd, Level 2 = Christ Killer, recently released by Shaolin Records. Coyote's flute playing was originally inspired by Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull. "Christ Killer," with Coyote's wild solos and scary monks chanting. With only an elk hide drum and an electric guitar, the Zen boys call themselves The NEPHILIM CHOIR with their manly low vocal harmonies. "Peace Of Mind #1," was supposed to be the first song of the first album by American Zen. Here it is with the love of a Paul McCartney song and the witty lyrical satire of Bob Dylan. "I Want To Laugh #2," was originally a song with words, that became a duet between slide guitar and flute, that became a solo slide instrumental song, that became what it is as Coyote stood in a bank line and heard this simple lyric while imagining a flootball team struggling to regain control of their game.
