Zen's journey began in the heartland of America, where he was adopted at 6 weeks and raised in a traditional Christian household. His quest for deeper understanding took a dramatic turn following a near-death experience at the age of 18, which expanded his consciousness and intensified his curiosity about the nature of existence. 

This transformative event propelled him to explore various spiritual traditions and philosophies, integrating this knowledge into a cohesive framework that emphasizes the interconnectedness of life. After a divorce, he re-framed the experience in a live metaphor.
