Joseph Grimes
Nothing Better To DO
By Joeseph Grimes
Description:
Set at a Zen Monastery in the mountains of California, this book is an account of a seminar led by the metaphysical philosopher, Pierre Grimes, PhD and presents his unique approach to understanding the “obvious.” The reader gets an intimate view of this process from Joseph’s perspective as he explores his spiritual odyssey, his adventure towards enlightenment by integrating spiritual themes and wisdom traditions from Zen, Platonism, Hinduism, Chinese Mysticism, Transcendentalism, Metaphysics, and modern philosophical counseling.
May we preserve these philosophical beauties, and exhibit them to others. May this web site expand their elegance by the enlivening rays of the philosophic fire; and by the powerful breath of genius, scatter abroad in this virtual world these latent but copious seeds.
If some sparks of this celestial fire shall animate the reader, consider yourself as well rewarded for this laborious undertaking. Ancient philosophy has been, for centuries, the only study to break the shackles of ignorance; and in which one finds an inexhaustible treasure of intellectual wealth, and a perpetual fountain of wisdom and delight.
Presuming that such a pursuit bestows the highest benefit, I, Webmistress, desire no other reward than the wealth of wisdom, and Reason as my constant Guide. If successful, may I see the praise of the liberal; and if not, I expect no defense for failure, other than the decision of the candid, and discerning few, thus the opportunity to learn, and purgation by philosophic fire.
