We are always trying to find our way. Circumstances overwhelm us. The noise of the 10,000 things gets in our way. The dust of the world kicks up complexity and complication. Distractions abound. We wake up again in the Wasteland wondering what’s now, what’s next, where do we go from here… Always the answer isContinue reading “July 09-B, 2022”

The life we are living needs to evoke, enable, serve our original nature and the innate virtues that are ours from birth. However, this may be other than what we do to pay the bills evokes, enables, serves. In that case, we walk two paths at the same time, by keeping an eye on theContinue reading “July 09-A, 2022”

It’s tricky. We have to know what we are doing, and we have no idea of what we are doing, so we have to know that we do not know what we are doing, and focus on knowing what we know. We have to know what we know in each situation as it arises. Discounting,Continue reading “July 08-C, 2022”

“Without contrary is no progression,” said William Blake in The Marriage of Heaven and Hell. Our opposites, inconsistencies, contradictions, polarities define us, identify us, form and shape us, bring us forth full-born into the world of duality and denial. Where do you cancel yourself out? X-out yourself? Fail to be who you are by beingContinue reading “July 08-B, 2022”

What’s in it for God? What is God getting out of all this? Do you think God is having a good time? Just one Woopie Doo after another? Think God skips, whistles and dances everywhere all the time? Think anybody ever asks God how things are going? And listens to what God might have toContinue reading “July 08-A, 2022”

In the emptiness, stillness and silence, everything comes up for inspection. If we can hold it in our awareness as interested observers, without engaging with any of it, just watching, just seeing, just knowing, we can discover how our experience has impacted us by the frequency with which things appear to pass in review. andContinue reading “July 07-C, 2022”

The Wasteland is everywhere people are living inauthentic lives cut off from their original nature and the innate virtues that are theirs at birth. The Wasteland is everywhere. +++ The world could be redeemed/transformed “like that” (Snaps fingers) if people would simply be who they are/were at birth. Jesus said it: “Unless you turn andContinue reading “July 07-B, 2022”

The grounding center of true religion is listening, seeing, feeling, intuiting, knowing, trusting, doing, being what is called for in the time and place of our living. There is no believing any doctrine, theology, creed, or dogma. There is only the experience of the here/now and our response to it on the level of psyche/somaContinue reading “July 07-A, 2022”

01 We have to know what is required of us and be right about it. And do it. We are not free to do whatever we want with our life. We are obligated to live according to, aligned with, in accord with, our life’s idea for itself. We have to know what we need toContinue reading “July 06-C, 2022”

01 Everything starts with and flows from autonomy. You have to have the right and the freedom to be who you are, living out of your own sense of direction and purpose, being true to your original nature and the innate virtues that are yours at birth. You have to have the right and theContinue reading “July 06-B, 2022”

01 Ah, put me back there and let me paddle around, looking for compositions, relishing the moment, dancing with my soul, in love with the world… Ah, but. Time moves on to other moments, some just like this one only different, few better, some much worse, and we move with time through them all. LettingContinue reading “July 06, 2022”

01 We have to trust ourselves to know what needs to be done until it becomes apparent that we don’t. And then, we have to trust ourselves to know what needs to be done until it becomes apparent that we don’t. And so on, like that. We learn to know what needs to be doneContinue reading “July 05, 2022”
