03 Be careful what you believe– and conscious of it– because beliefs are self-validating, and will be confirmed by our experience as being true beyond question. This is the foundation of horoscopes, superstition, Voodoo and Black Magic. Belief/faith elicits corroborating evidence from our environment and our “felt sense.” “You ask me how I know– IContinue reading “July 15, 2020”

02 There is how things are, and there is how we feel about how things are. And that is how things are. And that is where we have to get to work– being conscious of how easily two things become one thing in their impact on us, and intentionally preventing that from happening. How weContinue reading “August 1, 2020”

03 “It’s not for everybody.” Nothing is. Well, maybe, breathing. But, we are not here to be guided by “everybody.” What’s your shtick?

Being true to ourselves means being true to that which setsContinue reading “August 2, 2020”

02 It is about how well we live our life. How well we face what faces us in each moment. How well we deal with what we have to deal with. How well we square up to the reality of time and place, context and circumstance, moment-to-moment, situation-by-situation, day-after-day over the full course of ourContinue reading “August 3, 2020”

02 The past doesn’t go anywhere, the future never comes, and the present is eternal and everlasting– it never ends. The here and now merely flows into, and merges with, the here and now forever. We are never anywhere other than here and now. That is why it is called The Eternal Now. If weContinue reading “August 4, 2020”

03 Everything comes from our imagination embedded in our psyche. We have what we need to find (or build, or make/create) what we need to do what needs to be done. We have but to believe that it is so, and live as though it is. This is the critical part: believing and living asContinue reading “August 5, 2020”

02 We are the guardian/protector/champion/defender of our Original Nature– who we are and always have been and will be, our guiding, centering, grounding identity– the connection to which is tenuous, fragile, easily lost and must be carefully kept. We–our conscious ego-self– are responsible for nurturing and nourishing our relationship with our Original Nature with filialContinue reading “August 6, 2020”

03 What is the most meaningful (to you personally) thing you do? How often do you do it? For how long each time? How long has it been since you’ve done it? What keeps you from doing it? )r interferes with your doing it? I don’t know you, or don’t know you very well, but.Continue reading “August 7, 2020”

03 The Stages of Spiritual Development The Old Yogis/Hindus/Buddhists held there to be seven stages of spiritual development. Stage 1 is Living Without Being Alive. Jesus advised leaving the dead to bury the dead. The people at this stage are dragons (Joseph Campbell), Dragging themselves around.

03 Look at everything as a Rube Goldberg device that our soul has put together to wake us up. Everything that has happened, and is happening, and will happen is as it is to wake us up. To shake us awake. To stir us to life. So that we might be consciously alive in theContinue reading “August 10, 2020”

03 We don’t have to be right about the meaning of life. We only have to know what is meaningful to us about our life– and live in ways which serve it to the best of our ability. And we have to be right about it being to the best of our ability. Doing ourContinue reading “August 11, 2020”
