I've started listening to an audio book written by Alan Watts - The way of Zen.

It's a book that explains to the best possible knowledge by Western people how and what Zen is. This is really hard to do since at the time this book was written there was no English speaking Zen master or a knowledgeable Zen practitioner. Alan Watts did allot of research and translated allot of Japaneses and Chinese literature to write this book.

On that note this is not something someone should listen/read if one is not already formed in his/her own religion since Zen was created by a Buddhist and Buddhism, Dualism and Hinduism is explained and talked about allot to explain the creation of Zen. Some people will either disregard what is said without thought of what has been said, others will misinterpret it since its not there faith, and others will blindly follow what is said because they do not know of better.
If someone reads this book you need to be open minded and be "found" in your faith, my case Christianity, as not to lose yourself in the religious debate that surrounds Zen.

Zen is not a religion, nor a sociology, bluntly put its a way of liberation. Some may say that religion is nothing else than a way of liberation and they would be right, but religion is not only a way of liberation, religion is about faith and following God to the best of your knowledge. Religion is to better yourself, praise God and to live happily. I'm not majoring in Theology so my explanation is due to lack of a better word, incomplete, but I believe that I've stated that religion is more than a way of liberation. Thus for something to be a way liberation and only being that it cannot be a faith/religion.

The way of Zen, since started listening to it, has made more open the different ways of seeing the world and of debating. My girl left me and I took it really bad and Zen kind of got my out of the depressed stage due to the different way of thinking. It opened my mind to new and other existing possibility's. It awoke my mind once again and it feels great to be able to think clearly.

Just wanted to share to random people I don't know
