July 21, 2024 – A

If you choose to go the Non-Christian/Non-Buddhist route,
you get to throw out all the theology,
doctrines,
dogma,
dharma,
sutras,
rituals,
catechisms
and creeds,
and focus exclusively on being 
the best Jesus and/or Buddha
you can be,
simply by sitting in the right kind of emptiness,
stillness and silence,
waiting for the mud to settle and the water to clear,
reflecting on,
contemplating, considering, exploring
your original nature,
your innate virtues
(The things you do best and enjoy/love doing most),
and your intrinsic intuition,
and waiting on/watching/listening
for what arises in the silence
with an urgency about it
that cannot be denied
to thrust you into the field of action,
calling you to do what needs to be done,
where, when and how it needs to be done,
in each situation as it arises.

And when you see that through to completion,
drop back in to the emptiness, stillness and silence,
waiting for the mud to settle and the water to clear,
etc, just as before,
throughout the time left for living.

Just like Jesus and the Buddha did it
all their life long.

The key is being true to your original nature,
your innate virtues, 
and your intrinsic intuition.

These comprise the Holy Trinity of the Non-Christian
and Non-Buddhist life.

They come to life in the emptiness, stillness and silence
(The second Holy Trinity),
and off you go!
Into the Great Adventure of Being Alive!
