Book excerpt: MUZAN-EIGA MESSIAH. MUTANT SEX TRIBE. In the aftermath of a global cataclysm the totalitarian city-state of Zentropolis rises from the ashes of Japan. Marukido Sada, a freelance assassin and last surviving exponent of a mysterious neugenics program known as Project Equinox, embarks on a hazardous mission that draws her deep into the heart of a hostile urban dystopia populated by fanatical religious cults, vicious crime tribes and subversive groups obsessed with the erotic possibilities of biological mutation. Her quest culminates with the revelation of a genocidal plot led by the charismatic doyenne of the ultraviolent muzan-eiga craze inspired by malevolent alien entities determined to exterminate all human life. ZENTROPOLIS combines science fiction, horror and the occult with vivid imagery derived from Japanese manga comic books, anime and their muzan-e predecessors -- an apocalyptic rollercoaster ride in which the cosmic potentialities of Eastern and Western fantasy traditions collide spectacularly.

Download or read book Zentrepreneurism written by Allan Holender and published by Zentrepreneurism. This book was released on 2006 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world of service coupled with entrepreneurial success has been building for the past thirty years. Only now has it begun to explode with great strides and creativity. We seek a life where our families, businesses, and our efforts merge into a single harmonious whole-and where we measure our success in more ways than just the balance of our bank accounts. This book can bring back the values in our lives that often get lost in the quest for success. One does not have to be a Buddhist to benefit, as the success stories within will testify to, but should simply be open to trying a powerful, compassionate, new way of doing things in the business world. Instead of the greedy, short-sighted business mentality of the past, we can move into areas that will improve the lives of many others beyond, but still including, ourselves. With the ever-increasing value of service on the rise, one can actually achieve larger success in many cases, than if generosity and service were not creatively employed.

These movements enjoy a growing popularity amongst his students and have become integral part of his retreats.
