I wonder how we are ever going to make this right.This world I’m talking about.Greed, money and power wield tight control.Caring nothing about what they doin an “If a profit can be made,a profit will be made” kind of way.I think the only solution to the situationis to let it burn itself out,destroying civilization asContinue reading “August 12, 2024 – A”

It’s all going–and we are going with it.There is no evidence that any of it lasts,and if it does,would it be like a museum somewherefor those with nothing better to do?Whether it goes or lasts forever,our question to answer is:Did we love it enough when we had the chance?Did we love sunsets enough?And rain?And moonContinue reading “August 11, 2024 – A”

In living with integrity,sincerity,spontaneously,in each situation as it arises,we live intuitively–intentionally unintentional–lives, 24/7/365.That is all there is to it.Once we have an ulterior motivewe have a hidden agendaand it’s all over.We could talk to Adam and Eveabout that.

Our intuition is a superpowerdesigned in the evolutionary laboratory for meeting all of the challengespresented by every day.Every day we meet physical, emotional,intellectual, spiritual tests of our stability, creativity, stamina, will,resiliency, fealty, devotion, incentive,resolve, ingenuity, determination…And we have to find what it takesto rise to the occasion,growing up some more again,time after time.We do itContinue reading “August 10, 2024 – B”

The most important variety of freedomis freedom from our world-view.Freedom from our way of thinking things are.What is important, what is not important.What matters most and what doesn’t rank at all.What’s worth caring about and what counts for nothing.Being free of the weight of that burden,and able to explore and experience the world as itContinue reading “August 10, 2024 – A”

Who we areand the way we dowhat we doare inseparable.The way habitual intuitionand enlightenment/awakening/liberationare inseparable.Integrity is bound with/to intuition.When we are at-one with our intuition,we are at-one with who we are.When we are enlightenedwe are “born again,”and are ourselves,finally, at last.Which is, of course,and amounts to,a dying to ourselves–to our old way of being inContinue reading “August 09, 2024 – B”

Integrity is being who we are,doing what is ours to do.How do we know what that is?Knowing is where intuition comes in.Knowing is what intuition does best.When we know what to do,it often comes upon us out of nowhere.We are seized by the moment, in the moment,and hear ourselves saying,”Give me the ball!”Or its equivalent.AndContinue reading “August 09, 2024 – A”

Balance and Harmony,serenity and tranquility, at peace with ourselves and our situation in life…These are the conditions required to access our intuitionand align ourselves with it.And they are concurrent withemptiness, stillness and silence.The right kind of emptiness is contingent upon the conditionsrequired for alignment with our intuition.It all comes together to lead us along theContinue reading “August 08, 2024 – A”

Living intutionally puts us in the centerof the way that is the way,and relieves us of the burdenof having to know what we are doing.I have never known what I was doing.And I am five months away from stepping intomy eighty-first year.It feels as though I have been guided alongthrough the entire maize of choicesandContinue reading “August 07, 2024 – A”

I think we do it betterwith more of the right kind of emptiness/stillness/silence,conscious/mindful awarenessand intentional affiliation with our intrinsic intuition.Abandoning achievement/acquisition/accomplishment/productivity/etc.in favor of living aligned with,in full accord with,our intuition,would work wonders “right out of the box.”I am confident that the Buddha and Jesus did it this way,as have all those who have done/are doingContinue reading “August 06, 2024 – A”

The future is crammed with possibility,and we have to be ready for it all,though the likelihood of my being draftedinto some war is less likely every day.I will take a piece of blueberry piewith vanilla ice cream if one becomes available.It is amazing how difficult it is to whipone of those up.Possibility is never whatContinue reading “August 05, 2024 – B”

Doing it the way you thinkit ought to be done,doesn’t mean telling anyone elsewhat you are doing,or telling them what you thinkthey ought to do beyond,”Listen to your own heart,and follow your own intuition.”If everyone listened to their own heartand followed their own intuition,the world would be a different placeovernight.We do our part by listeningContinue reading “August 05, 2024 – A”
