We (ideally) bridge the worlds, the physical world of normal, apparent, reality, and the metaphysical (Our term) the world beyond the physical world, which is the world of abnormal, easy to overlook/deny, reality. Our Ego-mind connects us firmly to this world. Our Yogi-mind connects us firmly to the world beyond this world. Yogi-mind can beContinue reading “August 08-B, 2022”

Suffering, pain, misery and agony get all the hype. “Oh, the pain, the pain!” “Why the pain?” “Oh, woe, oh, woe!” We go on so over the suffering and the pain, that it is hard to tell where the actual experience of suffering and pain starts and the anticipation/dread of suffering and pain stops. WeContinue reading “August 07-C, 2022”

Jesus said, “Let your ‘Yes’ be yes, and let your ‘No’ be no.” And he might have added, “And, let your ‘Goodbye’ be goodbye,” because there is no looking back with regret or longing for those whose “Yes” is yes, and whose “No” is no. People who live with authenticity and genuineness, who say whatContinue reading “August 07-B, 2022”

Marianne Moore said, “The cure for loneliness is solitude.” Solitude is solidarity with ourselves. Speak and listen inwardly for a response. Ask a question and listen for a reply. See how long you can extend the inner dialogue imagining a conversation with yourself. Our best ideas are generated within ourselves, and we discover Jung wasContinue reading “August 06-A, 2022”

Jesus came “in the fullness of time.” We all do. In all of us “the time is fulfilled.” In all of us “the kingdom of God is at hand.” Every moment is the moment of transfiguration. The moment of realization/enlightenment/illumination/revelation… This is the Eternal Now of our being/becoming aware of and present to the timeContinue reading “August 05-D, 2022”

There is cooperating with the power coursing through life and being, and there is co-opting and coercing that power (Or attempting to). This is the theme of the Star Wars movies, and is the difference between Yoda and Palpatine. Using the Force for our own ends (Or attempting to) is the way of the DarkContinue reading “August 05-C, 2022”

Carl Jung’s idea of synchronicity, with the right thing happening at the right time, in the right way is a here/now description of the Tao from 5000 BCE. What is in charge of arraigning synchronicity? That is what is in charge of the Tao. Jung would call it “the unconscious,” which is a catch phraseContinue reading “August 05-A, 2022”

Carl Jung said that none of the really important problems can be solved– they can only be outgrown. All it takes is growing up some more again. All our life long. Growing up is the solution to all of our problems today. Any day. Every day. Why don’t we just grow up? Save ourselves aContinue reading “August 04-A, 2022”

What to do is never a problem for those firmly established upon the Anchor Stone of their original nature and the innate virtues that come with them from the womb. When we live out of who we are instead of out of trying to get what we want, what to do is always right there,Continue reading “August 03-B, 2022”

I did not live out my life in Peggy’s Cove, or in Itta Bena, Mississippi. I’m just a glad to be a wayfaring stranger quite at home wandering from place to place with a camera and a notebook in hand seeking a different take on things, a shifting point of view, a never-changing perspective. IfContinue reading “August 03-A 2022”

We find our way, not by serving/doing/seeking what we want, but opening ourselves to what needs us to do it– to what needs us in particular to do it. And discover, thereby, that what needs our peculiar blend of gifts/shtick/knacks/interests/loves/daemon/etc. is precisely what we need most to bring forth, exhibit/express/incarnate/make known. We discover who weContinue reading “August 02-C, 2022”

This is the way things are, and this is what we can do about it, and that’s that– and THAT’S the way things are. This is the agreement we make with life upon conception. Some of us don’t seem to understand the terms, and mope about sighing, “But The Suffering! The Pain!” Suffering and painContinue reading “August 02-B, 2022”
