Zen and The Ten Stages explore that edge where knowledge meets the unknown and the unknowable.

Zen and The Ten Stages explore that edge where knowledge meets the unknown and the unknowable. We navigate that space where something else takes over – call it intuition, deeper knowing, trust, surrender – a place from which new discoveries in science and realisations in the ten stages become possible. What is the horizon of our current knowledge, and where are we expanding the edge of the unknown?

What if science and spirituality, while responding to our collective aspiration to grow as a species in a world filled with mystery and wonder, would no longer need to carry the burden of having all the answers? What if our search is considered open-ended, rather then having to arrive at a grand theory of life or at a final state of enlightenment? What if, while we probe deeper into reality and who we are, we realise that the knowledge we gather is just a stepping-stone and not the arrival at a final destination?
