Very NEW Stuff!

3/28/2021

We have a brand new section in the Bookstore featuring an eclectic author Miss Laura, who immediately wowed us with two beautiful and surprisingly stimulating Essays. Selling Essays is something new? Miss Laura says it is just a level up form short stories. Her genre' is "Creative Nonfiction". That means these stories are true. Not only are they true but they are novel and unusual, intriguing both the deep thinker as well as the "just gimme the good parts" reader. Each Essay is gorgeously illustrated upon topics most people never hear about. Zen Dope is very pleased with the new section called "Unusual Papers". Right up our eclectic and artsy alley! The Essays are quite affordable and run about 20 to 25 pages, all colorfully illustrated to attach your senses to her every word! Come and have a look! UNUSUAL PAPERS

The real icing on the cake is that there is a "take away" from each of Miss Laura's Essays. I mean a "real" take away, valuable information like someone's secret recipe or a way to influence a person or persons. We offer a PDF version that you can print as well as the Kindle version. Really excellent research and information. We can already tell that these Essays are fresh novel presentations of unusual and exciting topics and are going to be hot stuff at Zen Dope. It would be impossible to resist printing them and sharing them with friends. And what a gift idea! Hope you like them!

I Thought on These Things. . .

8/29/2019

A collection of thought through thoughts.

                                                   True wealth is TIME and HEALTH. Everything after that is easy.

                  Preparedness barely survives but non-preparedness doesn't survive at all.

              It is said that good things come to those who wait. It's a lie, good things come to those who go and get them.

                                Dear auto-correct, that is not what I am trying to say and I am getting fed up with your shirt!

                                                     Typo is a hacker, phonics is a trickster.

Errors get more attention than perfection. Errors also get a bonus of compassion. Perfection gets none of these.

It's ok to not understand, if you really don't care.

Friends are made of paper-mache', damn the rain.

It is preached that we are all one. It's a lie, we are all separate. There is no beauty in being all the same.

                                 Time eventually kills both good people and evil people alike.

                                             Genius does not equal Sanity.

                     This is a planet of weapons where dying simply does not come soon enough.

   I am talking to myself to hear myself over the roar of a life too loud.

                            If at first you don't succeed, quit. Don't waste your time.

                Why do people always assume that EVERYONE else is talking to specifically and personally THEM?

                                                       No one will ever really know you, factor that in, it's a given.

                                                                        A coward has a respectable place.



                                        THE GAME OF LIFE . . . Born: take your pl;aces, let the games begin.

        The Bridge to Nowhere, begins from Anywhere.

                                                                Interruption is the first enemy of communication.

                                                         Crying makes it worse. Crying makes everything worse.

                                                                            Life gone stale is a small death.

                      We never seem to actually kill our demons, we only occasionally achieve to live above them.

               If a tree falls in the forest and no one is there to witness, does the tree really fall? Yes stupid, it does.

                                             Even when there is nothing left there is still you. Is this disappointing?

                                        It's not about you, it's ALL about me. If you can benefit from that, go ahead.

                                                                    Isn't it sad when "wonder" is satisfied?

                                                     Stupid does as stupid is and not the other way around.

            Is disorder actually dysfunctional or just hobbling along on three wheels?
                   Can three wheeled hobbling rule the world forever? Obviously, YES.

                                               A High I.Q. does not guarantee a Conscience.

                                                   There ain't no sense in talking when there's nobody listening.

                                              If you were the only sane person in the room, who would know it?

                         If the slate were ever really and truly wiped clean, this would be a completely different world.

                         Talk is worthless, the proof is in the pudding.

                                                                                      No Pain is Gain.

                                        Dogma is witchcraft. It casts a spell of ignorance over normally intelligent people.

                       If you are a thinker, you not only learned from yesterday, you learned from tomorrow as well.

                                                                                     Sheep are Happy.

Shut Up

5/5/2018

It appears that you can not say anything of clear and open intelligence in this society without someone contacting you and asking you to shut up.

And if you do not shut up, they come back and "order" you to shut up.

And if you still do not shut up, they come back and "shut" you up.

Yes, there are many who have found this peculiarity upon our lovely planet a verifiable fact. "Truth" is subjective and others, less hostile, will still loudly complain "you can't know everyone's truth!" Then why do we bother to speak about anything as true or not true at all?

I have found it is something just shy of vicious meddling and more deliberate than "interfering", to insist on individual diversity and then in the next breath add "and we all hold these truths to be true!"

Immediately after this confident declaration are listed wise and wonderful coined phrases such as "we are all one", and "the truth is within you", etc. You know the memes . . . These commonly agreed upon "truths" have proven to be the most far reaching and mentally influencing lies that I have ever wrestled in this lifetime.

We are NOT "all one". We are all "individuals". For Heaven's sake, pay attention!

No two individuals have the same exact consciousness, nor does everyone have the same religion, politic, culture, origin, perspective, resolve, filters, preferences etc . . .

There are thousands if not millions of individuals that I would never want to be one with. Many people do not even believe they are human! History is loaded with these types as well as complete cultures who have claimed such in lengthy texts and long lived societies. Who is to argue with them? It appears that no one argued with them in their times either because no one can really say. It is not unimaginable even today, there are some very strange people running on the surface of this planet.

In our current era, there is no more popular wise saying than "The Truth is Within You". And all religions use this meme.

The "truth" is not within you, "YOU" are within you. And there can be nothing neither true nor false about the you that is you!

The "truth" is outside you. . . Oh my! What a shock to hear someone say such a opposite from the coined and vastly campaigned saying that the "truth" is inside you.

Without an "outside" there can be no question of truth or non-truth. There is no "truth" inside you, there is only instinct and intuition about all that is outside you. For some, there is a psychic perspective of premonition, clairvoyance, etc. Even these, are filtered through culture, religion, point of perception, education, influences and ego. How much absolute "truth" can be left after such a raking?

"Go within, and know." Know what? That the earth is round or flat? That the sun is white or yellow? That climate change is real or false? That God is in everything you see and touch or that God is ultimately unknowable? That ethereal realms are real or fable? That the world is coming to an end? If the Universe is expanding? That the "Simulation Hypothesis" is correct? That there are aliens? If someone is lying to you or telling the truth?

You have to go OUTSIDE yourself to find these answers.
All truth about everything around you is out "there", not inside "you"!

If it is merely your "truth" of where you came from, how you got here and where you are going, where was the lie to begin with? If this is the big deal, the so called all encompassing word called "truth" or "knowing" and that is ALL anyone is ever talking about with those globally pushed fancy sayings, then OK, your personal "I.D." should be there.

And for the rest, the intuitional, instinctual, psychic filtered individual skills? I have been wrong before when relying on a gut feeling, how about you?

The "truth" about reality, the very one you are immersed in, the exact one you are sitting in is "out there" in, of and about that precise reality!

And if we were "all one", wouldn't we ALL already know that?

Come on! I, for "one" am sick and tired of these cliche sayings and campaign memes that lead nowhere.

"Nobody is Perfect." Really!? Who designed THAT one? You were already perfect, the perfect "you". Is this to mean that no one can conduct their daily lives in a perfect error proof manner? They dropped a soup spoon on the floor at lunch, so now they are not "perfect"? Heaven help us all!

Can you see that a deliberate approach to the nature of the reality in which you live is actually "chosen", designed and force fed to you on a societal level? Who chose this "truth" on an "imperfect you in a perfect world" instead of a "perfect you in an imperfect world"?

God himself, could not hold the perfect spoon over his or her holy bowl with this continuous chaotic, screaming, topsy-turvey, yank-you-here/yank-you-there, a thousand-changes-rule, instant saint or sudden sinner, metamorphing, swerving reality paradigm slippage world spinning around his (or her) head either!

Dropping your spoon, misplacing your keys, forgetting an appointment is not an imperfection of you, it is the imperfection of the reality you navigate. Your "Mind" knew and intended your clear thought and your surround-sound warbled reality befuddled the way of that clear thought and hijacked it.

Whoa! What a clear and centered way to see the, dare I say it, "truth". One in which the "guilt" of the imperfection is not yours. You never had a sliver of a chance at being perfectly performed in this world, where everything breaks or rots, changes or lags, ages and tires, forgets and pretends, gets lost or stolen, is too expensive or takes too much time.

Think about it.

"Good things come to those who wait." What exactly is this one!? Ah ha ha . . .

Surely this only applies for those waiting for apples to ripen. And who, that is not yet still a young child does not know this?

Good things do NOT come to those who wait. No one is here to dedicate their entire lives to serving ever precious "you" all good things whilst you prudently sit and wait. Good things come to those who get of their lazy duffs and go out and get them!

You may say, "Ah, but you are turning a phrase, that is all, there IS wisdom in those sayings." To that I respond, "I have struggled with this fluttering river of constant seemlingly wise sayings, interfering with my own rational mind, since I were a very young woman, and now, in my ageing years, I still find no sensible use for them.

These so-called "wise" sayings are either so broad spectrumed that they can not apply to anything tangible or useful, or they are so narrowed and pinched in their pertinent meanings that you have to wait until just that exact moment and circumstance to come along to apply them at all.

I have repeatedly assessed most of these widely popular memes to be muddling, meddling and highly insulting to my personal clarity of thinking.

Who are these wise scholars? And why don't they be a little more clear on their scholarly news? Isn't that their job? To clarify wisdom? To "explain" reality? Obviously these are "self-proclaimed" experts. Did you vote for them? I don't recall that vote taking place in my current era. "Popular" is the unofficial vote, I suppose, with no debate.

I am very selective about the memes I will entertain. Most are simply time wasters. I would rather hold a conversation with a seven year old child, who has not yet lost touch with the truth outside of her, and has never learned to question the "you" inside of him.

The truths I have found, outside of me, are global truths and hold fast when we say "these things we hold to be true", for everyone.

For everyone.

So why does someone come and tell me to shut up? They did not come to anyone who is looking for a truth inside of themselves. It seems these “wise” ones are left alone.

What is the "truth" of YOUR reality? Take some time and look around. My bet is that if you look outside with open eyes, a little bit of steady focus and some open interpretation, it will be the same truth as mine, no matter how "different" we really are.

But if you try to tell about it . . . that reality is not inside you but blatant and boldly in your face all around you, shouting confusion here and discord there . . . and that you DO know "you" already . . . and that you probably already ARE perfect, someone will come and tell you to shut up. . . Someone who notices that you are not the same as all the rest who are "all one", anymore.

. . . this is where the qualified Zen Master quietly answers your question of what we should do about it all, with this simple statement, "Nothing." "Just know." So, how is that wisdom?

Now you know that the world is not your fault . . .

Unless, of course you are a jack-ass and enjoy adding to the vulgar, criminal, spin doctoring narrative that pulls everything askew and everyone here around by the nose.

But jack-asses usually don't read lofty material like this, right? They don't care about anything but another beer and fries and another night of bellowing fowl gutterals at the bloody boxing match on the tube, right?

(Incidentally, are you really "one" with these people? These shining pillars of Humanity? Really?)

Jack-asses have no need to go around and watchdog the societal narrative that holds everyone to deep-psyche guilt and unequivocal responsibility for their utter imperfections and the increasingly awful conditions of their gluttonous, consuming, greedy, warring, caustic world, right?

Because it's the "truth", like it or not, right?

Then who are these people telling people like me to shut up?

Mandela Effect?

2/19/2017

            Welcome to 2017. Wow, how time flies when your nose is to the grindstone! Yes, we are back at it and have a few new things to delight your ever curious minds.
          There have been several requests of Zen Dope Studio to produce a documentary about the "Mandela Effect". Truly, this is right up our alley. It is under serious consideration. But, we need to mention that copyright laws, as we have regularly explained, allow only small snippets and altered copy of the work of others without committing a legal offense to those individuals. At this time, we feel that this is a heavy constraint to producing a documentary with material that we have not personally worked on ourselves. With that said, if we can produce a documentary that is effective under such constraints, we surely might. Thank you for the requests and we will take it to the front desk! If anyone else would like to see us do this, send us a quick e-mail and let them pile up on that desk.

           In the meantime, we would like to present a new e-book release, a real cutie too, and the future release of a much more serious work. The new e-Book available at e-Book outlets and in our store is called "HACK MY AGE" written by Emma Goodhacker. Great short little tutorial about how to take ten years off your face for the day! Every day, if you like. Clever and brief, it looks like these little age appearance hacks work! Check it out:

ZEN DOPE STORE

              Lastly, Swan Dive is stepping up to the plate with her own new e-Book "THE SHABBY HUMAN BODY" due to be released in March 2017.   Swan says, "Just as there is a third choice between taking the red pill or taking the blue pill; the "WHITE" pill, there is a third and impressive choice between Evolutionism and Creationism and the proof is in the Human Body. Semi-Intelligent design!
               This one looks to be a real mind-turner. So stay tuned to the blog for the release announcement.

ANNOUNCEMENT: Documentary Release!

8/28/2016

THE ANUNNAKI NOW full Documentary is available!

      Wow....what a day some days are. At 3:PM PST Zen Dope Magazine released their latest documentary. Nearly a year in production and post production is finished.

     Thank you for the cards and for those who called and congratulated. As you know, Zen Dope is an anonymous enterprise so a big thank you from each of these people TO each of these people; Will Duit, Penny Ante, Swan Dive, Gayle Force, Shirly Knott, Art Major, Randy Mann, Justin Tyme, Bea Freed, Eileen Strait, Paige Turner, Neil Downe and Robyn banks. Special thanks to the families and friends who tolerated the grueling schedules, fraying nerves and lack of funding.

     Thank you Zen Dope Studios for organizing and promoting the work of strangers with aligned purposes. These people found a voice because of you and fulfilled a need to report a disbelieved truth and prove their dignity and intelligence.

So, without further Adeiu, here it is.

The ANUNNAKI NOW documentary is 2 hours long, exposing the current Hybrid Anunnagi Race and their activities,
likeness and locations on Planet Earth today. A real shocker for some, an "I told ya so" for others. Fascinating for everyone.

Huge Thank You to our Narrators!

This Documentary as well as others can be purchased for download as well as viewed online in the ZEN DOPE STORE.

The Anunnaki Now

5/1/2016

We would like to give a huge thumbs up to Zen Dope's first "Golden Girl", Miss Gayle Force! What a Voice! And a sincere "thank you " for all her hard work and late hours narrating the "THESE ARE NOT ALIEN" Documentary. Thanks for your patience, diligence and great bloopers, Gayle!

Without further adieu, please welcome two more narrators to our staff, Will Duit and Shirlee Knott, who will be working with Gayle, our artists and production staff on the new Documentary "THE ANUNNAKI NOW", to be released late summer 2016. A Free mini version will be available on youtube due to the importance of the material and our dedication to share knowledge copyright free as a human responsibility. Welcome aboard Shirlee and Will!

The entire staff have trembled now and then at the stark reality of the material in the new documentary and everyone is on high nerves from time to time. This assignment is not an easy one nor much fun, to say the least but an urgent and important one that we all feel should be addressed as soon as possible. There are many researchers and media artists who work on projects like this and it is not believed that anyone is particularly happy about the messages or content but we admire all those like ourselves who feel such dedication to common causes and show up to work through the often disheartening aspects of research findings and data. There is no doubt that it is a disturbing Documentary. Soon we will all be able to return to happier topics and certainly more pleasant art and videos.

It's not a pretty story, but it sorely needs to be told.

Hang in there Zen Dope Volunteers and all your supporters, colleagues and friends! What you are doing is right!

COMING SUMMER 2016

WOW what a year!

12/23/2015

Zen Dope Magazine and it's growing volunteer staff has expanded tremendously this year. We have released three new e-Books and two full Documentaries, all of which are available in our store. The staff has worked hard together with many anonymous submissions and requests and has lovingly produced fine works in topics widely ranging from ALIENS to HEALTH REMEDIES to MEMETICS and even FASHION and BODY image. It has been a flurry of activity in every direction as people who do not know each other gather in unusual ways to present information and news on issues they feel are important to our changing world and advancing culture.
Jump over to the store and check out the mind opening presentations and good reads we have produced this year. Whew. It's quiet now and strangely hushed after the frenzied year as everyone is gone on holiday and the studio is sparsely lit and silent. A good time for me to slip out the back door myself! Happy Holidays to all of you out there aspiring to greater knowledge and exciting discoveries living in enlightened mind. See you in the new year!
