Hate, fear and greed are the primary motivators. Peace, love and compassion have no chance against them. “The Woke masses are going to take your guns! And the people of color are going to eat your babies!” Repeat that over and over from the pulpits and the talk shows and you have recreated Hitler GermanyContinue reading “November, 2023”

We know more than we know we know. Let’s spend the rest of our life discovering what that is! Curiosity leads the way! Being curious about our nighttime dreams. About the things that spontaneously occur to us, or call us to action, out of nowhere, for no apparent reason. About questions that arise unbidden, booksContinue reading “October 31, 2023 – A”

We are always looking, pleading, for divine assistance, when all the help we need is “right there,” right here, right now. We are born with what we need to find what we need to do what needs to be done here/now. And, we will not be abandoned and left bereft. So, what’s with all theContinue reading “October 30, 2023 – A”

Believe whatever it takes in order to do the right thing at the right time in the right place in the right way in each situation as it arises all your life long no matter what it means for you personally. That’s what Jesus did, and that’s what Jesus calls us to do. This nonsenseContinue reading “October 29, 2023 – A”

When the structures and systems supporting society fail for lack of attention, it is a mark against us all, declaring that someone did not vote for the right people. When the right people do not hold positions of responsibility, the rest of the people suffer. Was it PT Barnum who said, “No one ever gotContinue reading “October 28, 2023 – A”

It’s all a matter of chance. What we do with it is what matters. What we do with the moment, with the day, with our life… With what pilots our boat on it path through the sea. Having our way and getting what we want is one way to do it. Seems to be theContinue reading “October 27, 2023 – A”

Where do you spend your money? Where do you spend your time? There you are. I wander among the exhibitions of the natural world, taking refuge in what it has to offer as a buffer against the goings-on in the world of normal, apparent, reality. There is much there I don’t like and can doContinue reading “October 26, 2023 – A”

Perspective is the key. It’s all a matter of enlarging our perspective, flipping our perspective, changing our perspective about what’s important, and getting up and doing what needs to be done. People who see the same things in the same way over time may as well be dead for all the good they are doingContinue reading “October 25, 2023 – A”

Comes a war, comes a hurricane, comes an earthquake, comes a baby… goes the Tao amid the dust and travail. The Tao comes and goes. That is the Way of Tao, of the Way. We find our way back to the Way through the right kind of emptiness, stillness, silence, and waiting for the mudContinue reading “October 24, 2023 – B”

The Tao is doing the right thing, at the right time, in the right place, in the right way. Anything that assists that is “in accord/sync with the Tao.” Anything that interferes with that is “out of accord/sync with the Tao.” Balance and harmony flow with the requirements of Tao, chaos and disruption clash withContinue reading “October 24, 2023 – A”

All true religion is grounded on knowing what to do when, where and how. Those who know, know the same things over time and space. Here is a link to the way that happens: https://ts2.shop/en/posts/your-consciousness-can-connect-with-the-whole-universe-scientists-say Resonance, vibes, in-sync-ness, etc. really is a matter of “being on the same wave-length”! And the path to doing thatContinue reading “October 23, 2023 – A”

It is the Adam and Eve Leaving Eden image and the Garden of Gethsemane image being played out in our lives everyday that keeps things as they are in the world. The writer of the book of James (4:2) nailed it: “You crave but do not have, so you kill. You covet but you cannotContinue reading “October 22, 2023 – A”
