These ideas now are coming from my small studies ive had in zen so far. Even though I dont know the history behind zen, i think intelectually i can somewhat comprehend what it is about. Seeing things for how they are at this moment in time.
YW Acouwalia, I hope you find those texts as much a fountain of light that I did. FYI The Web of Life is basically an extension of the chapter on holistic health that was part of the also fantastic book The Turning Point. If you got the time read The Tao of Physics first and then those those two, I'm sure you'll find them interesting. I discovered them at a time when I was just starting to open my mind to spiritual ideas and values. Sadly my 4 years as a physics undergraduate failed to inspire me as much as The Tao of Physics did 7 years after I graduated and had spent 7 mediocre years in R&D.

p.s I also found that Chaos by James Gleick helped when I was reading The Web of Life.

I hope you find the answer you are looking for. Peace and love:hippy:
