About the Book
Zen N is a collection of four short stories written by American Philosopher Norman J. Schoonebeek.
The first three stories were written during his senior year in college as a Philosophy major. He felt compelled to write them, as if guided and urged by highly evolved spirits.
The themes and messages of these stories were highly influenced by his studies of Buddhism and Existentialism.
The fourth story Brainstorm Blizzard was written later after having studied Dianetics and Scientology.
Zen N is a result of Norman J. Schoonebeekâs need to reconcile his love of Zen and Buddhism with his newfound knowledge that their benefits are extremely limited and antiquated when compared to what Scientology has to offer.
As something of a final farewell and thanks to all Buddhism and Zen provided Norman J. Schoonebeek, Zen N is an attempt to provide some of the most precious wisdom of Buddhism and Zen possible in easy-to-read short stories and at the same time to provide the reader the way and path to the much more highly advanced and effective philosophy, for attaining enlightenment and spiritual freedom, Scientology.
About the Author
Norman J. Schoonebeek started his own spiritual journey in his freshman year of college in 1975 when he learned the basic technique of Transcendental Meditation. In the same year he had a near-death experience surfing that revealed to him his immortality and some basic truths about Life he would cherish forever. His studies in a college course on Buddhism sealed his fate and he abandoned his Physics major for Philosophy in search of the ultimate truths of Life. With the wisdom he gained he set on to explore life and worked at an almost endless variety of jobs that afforded the opportunity to experience modern civilization in all her glory. Among occupations he has helped hand build surfboards, sailboats and missile fuses, painted houses, inspected high voltage power supplies, driven trucks and buses, sold computers and their accessories, and has traveled to churches throughout the northeast as a family portrait salesperson. He first read the book Dianetics in 1981 after driving from New York to California and currently is training as a Professional Scientology Auditor.
