Tranquility/serenity/peaceful abiding here, now. Which is the gateway to seeing, hearing, knowing what’s what and what is called for and doing it when, where and how it needs to be done in every situation as it arises all our life long.
The older I get the less respect I have for theology and doctrine and the more I’m finding worth exploring in experience and our own inner knowing as the source of guidance and direction in knowing and doing what is called for in each situation as it arises.
And I think doing that is the only thing that matters. Doing the right thing in the right place at the right time in the right way was the Taoist idea of the Tao, or what is called for here, now. And having the innate capacity (Intuition) to know/trust that is my idea of faith at work in our life.
When we just sit down with what we know, it amounts to a lot. I think Jesus lived out of what he knew.
And the Church of Rome invented sin and salvation in the 400 years between Jesus’ death and the closing of the canon—the most brilliant and successful con in the history of scams! And I have a retirement pension to prove it!
