The Buddha saw “Peaceful abiding, here, now,” as the foundation of “having life and having it abundantly.” I call it “Looking out the window.” When I sit, I sit looking out the window, at the focal point, the foundation, of “having life and having it abundantly.” Everywhere can be the vehicle/Portkey/threshold/doorway to “peaceful abiding, here,Continue reading “September 16, 2025”

I would like to live exactly where I am living, and be doing exactly what I am doing. I wouldn’t change a thing. It’s called “Having it made.”And, what does one do when one has it made? What is called for in each situation as it arises, day after day. Which may have nothing toContinue reading “September 15, 2025”

Nothing beats–and everything flows from–asking the questions that beg to be asked and saying the things that cry out to be said. Doing so paves the way for reflection that leads to realization. And that leads to seeing, hearing, knowing, doing, being what is called for in each situation as it arises–and no one canContinue reading “September 14, 2025”

Realization comes from our reflection on our experience. We make up the bullshit to suit ourselves. For instance, what makes dirty words dirty? And what makes white people superior? Where does experience end and projection/assumption/presumption begin?We know so much that isn’t so, who can keep track anymore? Bullies have taken over the world. Normal peopleContinue reading “September 13, 2025”

We do not suffer from a dearth of information. We suffer from an abundance of desire.We want everything.Stop wanting and everything falls into place.Then, we do what is called for and not what satisfies our current craving.If we wanted emptiness, stillness and silence the way we want what we want, it would be a differentContinue reading “September 12, 2025”

Tethered. The boat is useless and in the way unless it is tethered to something throughout its life. The same thing applies to each of us. To what are we tethered? What anchors us? declares what we are about? To what do we belong? What is our business? Ours to do?Our identity is wrapped upContinue reading “September 12, 2025”

They live around making a life at Peggy’s Cove.We live detached from making a life.We make a life “at the office,” or somewhere out of sight.Away from where our life is lived.I like the idea of living being what we dowherever we are,by giving ourselves to what is called forin each moment.Do not put offContinue reading “September 11, 2025”

God is a psychic reality, not a spiritual being.The psychological mechanism of Projection turns a psychic reality into a spiritual being–projecting “out there, up there” what is “in here.” I cannot be the first/only person to figure that out. So, why are we still awash in the hocus-pocus, “Bubba! Help me!” stuff?Bubba is “in here”!Continue reading “September 10, 2015”

Kindlessness is Cruelty. Is Atrocity. Is Brutality. Is Abomination. Is Inhumanity.Kindlessness at the top is Kindlessness all the way down.Donald Trump! I’m talking to YOU!You and your MAGA patrons are creating a culture of the inhumane and atrocious. And you don’t care because that is what you intended from the start.Fascism is a thing. AContinue reading “September 09, 2025”

I think we all are, more or less, part of the dream awaiting realization. We are, in a sense, “a band of brothers and sisters,” bringing each other forth, waking each other up, being what each other needs for the process of becoming who we are, doing what is ours to do.We are one withContinue reading “September 08, 2025”

Conversation is the most important thing in our repertoire, and we generally throw it away and opt for small talk without saying anything. Better to talk to our Psyche and listen for Psyche’s responses in the way of realizations moving us, guiding and directing us, and giving us things to think about as we makeContinue reading “September 07, 2025”

The psychological mechanism of projection is the most powerful producer of insanity/dysfunction to ever come along. To think something is what it is not and to be sure that it is what it is not is as crazy-making as can be. And then we bring gaslighting into the picture and it all goes to hellContinue reading “September 06, 2025”
