What do you know of God– That Which Has Always Been Called “God”– that you didn’t get from someone else, or from the Bible? I know that That Which Has Always Been Called “God” has a wicked/twisted sense of humor, and spends more of their (Father, Son and Holy Ghost, you know) time laughing thanContinue reading “March 16-A, 2023”

At any point in time, there are several thousand to several million people who know the truth when they see/hear it– who are genetically disposed to be bearers of truth from generation to generation. They do not always fare very well at the hands of those who don’t have a clue, and learn from anContinue reading “March 15-B, 2023”

Our primary concern needs to be doing what is called for in ways appropriate to the occasion in each situation as it arises, regardless of what we want to happen!!! We cannot allow our wants/desires to lead us along the way! It doesn’t matter what we want! It matters what we do– and how closelyContinue reading “March 15-A, 2023”

That Which Has Always Been Called God comes packed in our DNA, is written into our genetic code. When Jesus said, “The Father and I are One,” he was speaking for all of us. The Johannine Prayer (That they may be one as we are one: I in them and you in me), Jesus’ statement,Continue reading “March 14-B, 2023”

We are not free to be anybody, to do anything. We are bound to our genetic make-up, to our nature and our traits–our virtues, our specialties, our knacks and proclivities– our particular ways of seeing/doing/being. That simplifies things for us. We can stop thinking we should be more like someone else than we are, andContinue reading “March 14-A, 2023”

I am sorry that it has come to this. I blame it all on money. On Capitalism. On the profit at any price orientation of society as a whole worldwide. “The love of money/power is the root of all evil,” is an ancient realization that changes nothing over time. Money is power. With money weContinue reading “March 13-B, 2023”

The articulation of experience deepens, enlarges, expands experience. Talk about what you have experienced, are experiencing. Write about it. Dance it out. Draw/paint it out. Play it out on the musical instrument of your choice… Translate the impact of experience into words, music, forms and shapes, colors, motion… Experience your experience! Look at it fromContinue reading “March 13-A, 2023”

I am proud of what my life has done with me, and of the role I played in assisting that happening, without knowing what I was doing beyond trusting myself to what needed to be done in the service of ends I could not imagine. At every turning point, the way was obvious and IContinue reading “March 12-B, 2023”

Clarity and insight, Kid. Clarity and insight. Clarity and insight are essential in the work of finding our way to the way. With enough of the right kind of experience, we can find our own way to clarity and insight over time. We can shorten the length of time by taking advantage of the experienceContinue reading “March 12-A, 2023”

We all have our specialties. Mine is playing around, particularly with words, perspectives, meanings. Looking at things from all sides. Sizing things up. The Articulation of How Things Are– And Also Are– And What All That Means, Depending on Our Point of View, In All Times And Places. Ask me what the Bible, for instance,Continue reading “March 11-B, 2023”

The problem with religion is theology. “Theology” is another word for “Opinion.” Theology is opinion that takes itself literally. That mistakes itself for a fact. There are no theological facts. There are only theological beliefs. All beliefs are opinions. Superstition is a set of beliefs that are opinions. Black magic, same thing. Horoscopes, same thing.Continue reading “March 11-A, 2023”

Do right by the moment, by the time and place of your living, and by those in the moment with you, by the circumstances in which you live– in the spirit of those who have said, “Thy will, not mine, be done,” (With the “Thy” being addressed to the moment and the circumstances constituting theContinue reading “March 10-B, 2023”
