Coyote’s made significant advancements using the website actZEN.com

His inspirations and newfound realizations have led him to write three new books which will certainly be some of the best-selling books of all time. Coyote claims that the first of this three book series will be required reading of every high school student, every teacher, and every business management course.

Coyote has discovered the heart of motivation and what makes people think the way they think.

PODCAST 35 of the American Zen Buddhist Rock Podcast
Hosted by The Hippy Coyote of American Zen

Episode 15 of American Zen's LEVEL 2 = CHRIST KILLER cd.

Coyote talks about his newfound freedoms have led him to perceive several cages he is living in.
"You go to pat yourself on the back and realize you're wearing another collor," sighs Coyote.

Coyote shares his NEW MEANING OF ENLIGHTENMENT. After studying one of his Chan Buddhism books, Coyote comes up with an image of a monk in a doorway who enlightens the household like the morning sunrise light beams that shine in through the window to illuminate the dust in the air. "Look for that monk. Enlightenment: the monk in the doorway is like the sunrise light in the window."

Playlist Notes:
Sometimes to deal with the darkness you must escape it. These songs are about the need for change and improvement.
by The Coyote
www.folkrockTROUBADOUR.com

Coyote says he preferred The Beatles to The Stones -- but this album is definitely ‘Stonsey.’

The next album, Christ Killer, sounds like the Revolver album by The Beatles... Hmmm.
