You are the closest thing to Jesus
that a lot of people will ever get.

You are also the closest thing to Buddha
that a lot of people will ever get.

So throw out theology, sin, redemption,
doctrine, dharma, dogma, creeds, prayers of confession,
and related paraphernalia.

It is all unnecessary, beside the point and in the way.

All we need is the right kind of
emptiness/stillness/silence
and a genuine interest in serving/sharing
the gifts of our original nature,
our innate virtues--the things we do best
and enjoy doing most--our inherent imagination,
and our intrinsic intuition
in doing what is called for 
in each situation as it arises,
when, where, and how it is called for,
and always returning to the silence,
waiting for clarity regarding what's what
and what is called for,
and when that arises/appears in the silence,
we arise and engage in the right kind of action
on the field of action,
then back to the silence to await the compelling
realization, urgency, calling, direction 
regarding what is called for,
back and forth throughout the rest of our life.

Which is all Jesus and the Buddha did.

We get closer to Jesus and the Buddha with every 
drop into the silence and the emergence onto the field of action.

There is nothing difficult about the process,
and high time we started implementing it!
