The missing piece was D.T. Suzuki's statement   
that Zen considered "enlightenment" 
to be equivalent to "habitual intuition."

Listening to ourselves
and being right about what we are saying/hearing!

Enlightenment is INTUITION!!!

So is living faithfully--
faithfully aligned with what we know to be true!

And, it is the same thing 
as living in sync with the Tao--
living in accord with what we know to be so!

This has to be the cornerstone 
in the new edition of "The Church of What's Happening Now"!
Flip Wilson did not realize the splendid nature
of the truth of the phrase he coined.
But he knew what he was talking about.

"Come to me all who are weak and heavy-laden
and I will show you how to find what you need
to do what needs you to do it
and what needs to be done
in each situation as it arises:
LISTEN TO YOURSELVES!!!
TO YOUR OWN INTUITION!!!

This is the church of the future.
Just waiting to be CHRISTened and put out to sea.
Given to us from Zen,
which is the Taoist version of Buddhism,
and the New Christianity!

Thank you, D.T. Suzuki!
