Coming to terms with the day– with our life– means seeing the day (our life) just as it is, and allowing that to be that without any more emotional response than that associated with letting a tree be the tree it is, or letting a cloud be the cloud it is. Seeing things as theyContinue reading “May 18-A, 2023”

I need the right kind of emptiness, stillness and silence. I am waiting on the next realization. Enlightenment is realization. We are enlightened one realization at a time. There is no absolute state of enlightenment. There is no end to realization. We all are waking up to what’s what and what needs to be doneContinue reading “May 17-B, 2023”

Everything spins according to the outcome we want to achieve. It’s the Rorschach applied to dreams and life. What do we see when we look? At whatever we look at? What do we see when we look again? What do we want to see? What do we want it to be? What we look at.Continue reading “May 16-A, 2023”

The super weapons we all possess are our perspective, perceptions, awareness, clarity, instincts, intuition, sense of timing, awareness of the path, accord with the flow of vitality/life, our original nature and innate virtues/specialties. Trusting ourselves to these inner quailities and sensitive to the coincidental alignment of outer circumstances, we are well-equipped to find our wayContinue reading “May 15-A, 2023”

We live looking for diversion/distraction/entertainment– anything to pass the time with nothing worth our time to do. The same old same old gets boring fast. There is nothing in any of it that interests us, enthuses us, captures our attention and our presence so that we lose track of time and can’t believe it isContinue reading “May 14-B, 2023”

Security and stability are the two big ones when it comes to the necessary foundation for a life well-lived. We have to be able to pay the bills and not worry about where to spend the night or if we will eat the next day. After that comes #3: We have to incur the rightContinue reading “May 14-A, 2023”

We live to balance the contradictory forces of life in our life and world. We live for the sake of balance and harmony, avoiding the extremes, honoring the flow– which includes the ebb and flow of circumstances and situations as they arise, keeping an eye on our inner harmony within the outer requirements and needsContinue reading “May 13-B, 2023”

What keeps us from being what the situation is calling us to be? Lack of awareness/clarity. Lack of interest. Desire–there is something we want, are more interested in– than what the situation needs/is calling for. Fear–we are distracted by concern for our interests. Sloth/laziness/lethargy–maybe tomorrow, some other time, later, one day. Ignorance–we have no ideaContinue reading “May 13-A, 2023”

How far away from who we are can we live without developing symptoms, incurring the wrath of the neglected life and being lost in the wasteland of endless discontent? And, when we are born into a cultural and social ecosystem which denies there is an Axis Mundi, or “center pole/axis,” or “essential identity,” for eachContinue reading “May 12-A, 2023”

What’s your point? What are you here for? Why are you here? What are you doing here? Your point is to laugh at these questions, and on on about your business without caring what your point is. What’s the point of a moose? Of a daffodil? Of a dew drop? Of a snow flake? OfContinue reading “May 11-B, 2023”

Awareness and clarity are the solutions to all of our problems today and every day. Seeing is knowing is doing is being is looking is seeing is knowing… We look but don’t see because we don’t want to see, because seeing has implications for us and the way we want things to be. Those whoContinue reading “May 10-B, 2023”

One of my problems with theology is its readiness to refuse all questions that cannot be answered by taking every assertion on faith. “This is so because I take it on faith,” is a declaration demanding that everyone within hearing distance of the speaker walk away. Intellectual inconsistencies become “great paradoxes” that have to beContinue reading “May 09-B, 2023”
