  • Taste of Hanshan (Cold Mountain)

    by Alexander Goldstein ...

  • Decoding of the Lao-zi (Dao-De Jing): Numerological Resonance of the Canon's Structure

    by Alexander Goldstein ...
    The "Dao-De Jing" is the most famous and unfathomable work of Chinese philosophical inheritance. It is unique among the other classical 'guidebooks' in providing a practical method, by which one can effect this experiential learning of the absolute Dao.

  • Yi Jing: The True Images of the Circular Changes (Zhou Yi) Completed by the Four Sages

    by Alexander Goldstein ...
    Since the main purpose of the first book of my trilogy entitled "The True Images, Numbers and Ideas of the Circular Changes" is to disclose the imagery of Zhou Yi's body text from the point of divining outcome interpretation, this is not the place to analyze in details the complex aspects of historical and philosophical background of the oracle's writing. Instead, I will try to reconstruct the ... Read more

    The Moon Pool, #1

    by Alexander Goldstein ...
    Series Book 1 - The Moon Pool
    Image thinking is a phenomenon when a concrete image intimates an abstract notion or viewpoint to express.

  • The 108 Zen Poems

    The Moon Pool, #2

    by Alexander Goldstein ...
    Series Book 2 - The Moon Pool
    As a sinologist, I have been asked many questions by people wanting to know time and again what Zen ('Chan' in Chinese) actually is. The problem is that it is not an easy task to describe this term. It is something that cannot be talked about nor expressed in written words. The moment language is used, we are no longer dealing with the true spirit of Zen, which is beyond all words. However, Zen ... Read more

  • The Holographic Irreality of Leonardo da Vinci

    by Alexander Goldstein ...
    At a young age, Leonardo da Vinci's father enrolled him in Maestro Verrocchio's renowned art workshop in Florence, where he delved into drawing. With just a piece of charcoal, lead pencil, or ink pen, he could draw complex figures with realistic poses that were emotionally expressive.
