01 We have to be living in the service of the right ends. Making More Money isn’t it. Bringing our original nature to life in our life is it. How would we do that? A. What is our original nature? (“What is the face that was ours before our grandparents were born?”) B. How canContinue reading “November 15, 2021”

01 Money is the end of democracy. “The Rule of Law” is such a good idea, but it comes in a distant second to the idea of compound interest. That’s the best idea! That’s the idea that transformed the world. With enough money, you can buy the law makers, and the law enforcers, and doContinue reading “November 12, 2021”

01 “Adjustment and accommodation, Kid. Adjustment and accommodation.” That’s the recurring experience of life as it is throughout our life. Life takes a lot of getting used to. We never get things the way we want things to be for long. Something is always coming along to decimate this, destroy that, knock everything over andContinue reading “November 10, 2021”

01 Heart, Soul and Mind are our spiritual essence. We are swimming in a spiritual sea. Floating on a spiritual ocean. Drifting in a current of spiritual flow throughout our life and beyond.

01 We all draw water from the same well. The water I’m talking about is the creative source of life and being. And ideas, realizations, imagination, connections, inspiration, zeal, enthusiasm, insight, know-how, awareness. instinct, intuition, premonitions and all the rest of That Which Truly Matters. The source is the origin of all things. Where everythingContinue reading “November 08, 2021”

No Opinion!” is the sine qua non for all gurus, sages and desert saints– with the understanding that “no agenda” means “The only agenda is to have no agenda,” and “no opinion” means “The Guiding Opinion is that having no opinions is necessary in maintaining balance and harmony.” Having nothing at stakeContinue reading “November 07, 2021”

01 Capitalism is the end of democracy. The mantra of Capitalism, “Profit At Any Price,” means goodbye to Liberty, Justice, Equality, Truth. Money is all that matters. Everybody has a price. Congress and the Supreme Court, and certainly the President, can be bought off with a billionaire’s tip money– and when the corporate Gang ofContinue reading “November 06, 2021”

01 We are just lucky to be here. “Time and chance happen to us all.” Particularly chance. All the way down. It’s pure chance that the times are what they are. Nothing has to be what it is. It is as it is because of chance. We are who we are by chance. By theContinue reading “November 05, 2021”
