Off the beaten paths ~ No Way by Ram Tzu
Whatever your beliefs… Ram Tzu will find a way to disabuse you of them. This hysterical anti-Tao combines mystical satire and a firm disavowal of all truths.
An irreverent guru being channeled through a Southern California cynic, Ram Tzu sets the very idea of wisdom on its ass.
“If you are serious in your pursuit of enlightenment you are in for a rough ride. Ram Tzu does not coddle. His truths are self evident to some and heresy even blaspheme to others.
The pages of this book are filled with incredibly funny and intelligent paradox, that is all the more stunning because it is delivered at the most dizzying heights of mankind’s most cherished beliefs.
Ram Tzu is a Zen Master’s Master. And like a Zen Master of old if the Student is blinded by his own flame the Master smacks him, on occasion. Ram Tzu laughs at you… But only when you need laughing at. An example form the book: ‘Ram Tzu knows this…You indulge in self improvement… and…All you have to show for it is an improved self.’
If this makes you mad you missed the point. Losing the self is the point not improving it. This book is not for the pious, those that take themselves too seriously.
To the truly enlightened, nothing is sacred. Ram Tzu is truly Enlightened.”
“This book will slap you back into your senses. To quote from the book: ‘You are your own worst enemy. Ram Tzu is your friend, so he will have to kill you to save you from yourself.’ “

The path to enlightenment is covered with bovine feces.
Your Blog title reminds me of a story from when I was little. I was hiking in Utah, and some guy approached our family and gave me and my brother coins saying we had done a good job hiking.
After he left I asked my mom what the book of moron was, not realizing it said book of mormons.
The supposed quietude of a good man allures the ruffian; while on the other hand, arms like laws discourage and keep the invader and plunderer in awe, and preserve order in the world as well as property. The same balance would be preserved were all the world destitute of arms, for all would be alike; but since some will not, others dare not lay them aside… Horrid mischief would ensue were one half the world deprived of the use of them… THOMAS PAINE, I Writings of Thomas Paine at 56 (1894)
