Pearland,
TX, USA (November 30, 2012) -- Douglas Grummons' Ten
Thousand Waves takes the reader on a surfer's
journey of riding waves and the fruits that come with them. It is an
East meets West spiritual adventure.
Ten
Thousand Waves is a true-life story of surfer Doug Grummons. The
author rewinds his personal story back to the very first wave he ever
stood up on. From that very first wave onward his life took a
slightly different path. After a spiritual encounter on top of a
mountain that left him amazed he found spirituality in many different
forms. An extreme sports enthusiast, Doug uses his life stories as a
surfer, snowboarder, skydiver, and aikidoist to illustrate his many
perceptions. The author gives insights and explains who we are and
why we are here living on this beautiful planet. "Life's
greatest mysteries come to the surface of consciousness by falling in
love with the ocean," he said.
As
a surfer who meditates and studies the ways of the East, Doug lays
out the basics of Eastern thought in easy to understand explanations.
Grummons takes Zen into new territory in what he calls Extreme Zen.
Doug coined the term one day while skydiving to describe the
experience of bringing mind, heart, soul, and body together in all
his passions. Grummons explains, "True liberation is not to be
free from the wheel of life and death. True liberation is to be free
from liberation itself."
