Wei Wu Wei | Why Lazarus Laughed: The Essential Doctrine, Zen--Advaita--Tantra (Excerpts Part 1)

from Dancing Paradox · host Alex Hickman

Excerpts from the first half of Wei Wu Wei's second book entitled 'Why Lazarus Laughed: The Essential Doctrine, Zen--Advaita--Tantra'. Why Lazarus Laughed is a powerfully written book of aphorisms, meditations, and startling ruminations on the nature of time, consciousness, freedom, enlightenment, duality, and free will. Wei Wu Wei was the pen-name of Terence James Stannus Gray. After he left his theatrical career, his thoughts turned towards philosophy and metaphysics. This led to a period of travel throughout Asia, including time spent at Ramana Maharshi's ashram in Tiruvannamalai, India. Between the years 1958 and 1974, eight books and articles in various periodicals appeared under the pseudonym "Wei Wu Wei". A quote from his book 'The Open Secret' - "The writer of these lines has nothing whatsoever to teach anyone; his words are just his contribution to our common discussion of what must inevitably be for us the most important subject which could be discussed by sentient beings."   WEBSITE ➣ https://www.alexhickman.co.uk   WRITINGS + NEWSLETTER ➣ https://dancingparadox.substack.com   SUPPORT ➣ https://www.patreon.com/dancingparadox   CONNECT ➣ Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/alex_hickman/ ➣ Twitter | https://twitter.com/aIexhickman
