01 Being the Christ, possessing Buddha Mind, trusting ourselves to our original nature in each situation as it arises, takes practice, practice, practice. Believing has nothing to do with it. It is all doing, doing, doing– what needs to be done, when it needs to be done, where it needs to be done, the wayContinue reading “February 06, 2022”

01 We plop out of some womb into some time and place, with no idea of what to do next, and make it up all the way. If we are born into some tradition– and who isn’t– we inherit a lot of it, which has been made up for us and passed along to usContinue reading “February 05, 2022”

01 Things go better with me and my life when I reduce the level of noise and complexity, and increase the level of balance and harmony. To do that I have to be aware of it, and know what constitutes noise and complexity, and what serves balance and harmony. Stillness and silence work well inContinue reading “February 04, 2022”

01 We are going crazy as a nation and as a world, because we cannot think of anything better to do with our time. Living with no end in mind worthy of us is driving us mad. We have sex, drugs, alcohol and money. And that is the best we can do. How many peopleContinue reading “February 03, 2022”

01 Jesus would say there is a price to be paid for living true to our original nature in each situation as it arises. And, he would say there is a price to be paid for failing/refusing to live true to our original nature in each situation as it arises. Then, he would say itContinue reading “February 02, 2022”

01 May we see what we look at and know what we know, and do what needs to be done, oh may it be so, may it be even yet so, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, oh may it be so! Hallelujah! That’s the best we have, its all we can do, just knowing what’s whatContinue reading “February 01, 2022”

This is a place-holder page for the month of February, 2022 We decide how we are going to live our life, and everything falls into place around that. It would make a difference if we put some thought into it, and made a conscious decision in light of what we determine to be what isContinue reading “February, 2022”

01 What springs to mind when I ask you, “What springs to mind?” Psyche works that way. Things springing to mind have their source in psyche’s on-going endeavor to get our attention. The natural world works on things springing to mind. How do I know that? It just sprang to mind. I evaluated it, decidedContinue reading “January 31, 2022”

01 I resonate with some people, and never connect with others. I see that as an indication/reflection of “where we are in our life.” Of “where we have been, and what happened to us, and what we have done with that.” The things that happen to us impact the way we see things, interpret things,Continue reading “January 29, 2022”

01 The difference between having a way and having to have our way is the difference between being on the way and being off it. Having a way without having to have it is having direction and purpose without having to go that way and do that thing. Things come up. Things happen. We haveContinue reading “January 28, 2022”

01 We need to be able to pay the right bills, and that is all money is good for. When we make money an end in itself, it becomes good for nothing. Its rightful place is buying the tools we need, and supplying us with what we need to do what needs to be doneContinue reading “January 27, 2022”
