I am a visually handicapped person, so the idea of calling my DBA Zen Arrow Products appealed to me. Despite my limited outer sight, my insight is (hopefully) excellent! :) In studying Zen, there is the idea that a Zen Master can be blindfolded, and still hit the bullseye of a target with a bow and arrow.

What about "Buddist arrow" or "Sufi spear" or "Tao taser" or "catholic grenade"? The list, I think could go on. Maybe it has to do with that book about Zen and archery. Whatever the reason, I'm sure its a good one. Meanwhile, I'm to pick up new tips and tricks, and even consider a rant or two from John Hechtman, who's been helping me keep my computers healthy and quick. Why “zen arrow”?

Tue, 07 Sep 2010 03:15:48 +0000 http://zenarrow.com/blog1/2010/08/07/philosophical-jabber/#comment-64 "If such a state cannot exist, why do words for it exist in every language that I know of?" That every culture created a word for an experience that fits nothing else they understood or could describe, still doesn't prove the existence of any super-natural plane. The "out of body" experience is hardly rare, and can be facilitated, if not induced directly, by several methods, not all of which are based in religion. (LSD, fatigue, extreme stress, etc.) Your proof... on the basis of (the existence of) words in every culture for a similar experience... still isn't solid. Most cultures had language which represented their (limited) understanding of the physical world, at the time. All the words that reference spirits or the supernatural in describing a more obvious (physical) state, still don't "prove" that the supposition is valid. That many say "god bless you" today when someone sneezes, still doesn't validate the _belief_ that a sneeze was your body's reflex in trying to prevent an "evil spirit" from entering your body. Doesn't matter one bit, in which language "god bless you" is expressed. “If such a state cannot exist, why do words for it exist in every language that I know of?”
