01 Against Orthodoxy! In Praise of Heresy! G.K. Chesterson said, “When Jones follows his Inner Light, Jones follows Jones.” Of course. As with everybody who follows anything. Ask someone why they follow whom they follow. Let’s say their Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. And they will give you the spiel implanted by Orthodoxy, “Blah, Blah,Continue reading “June 23-B, 2022”

01 “Tat Tvam Asi” is Sanskrit for “Thou Art That,” meaning the individual is the Absolute, or, as the Buddhists say, “All is Buddha-mind.” It takes but a shift in perspective to see that it is so. That shift in perspective is known as “Enlightenment,” or, “Awakening.” As Jesus would say, “The Father and IContinue reading “June 22, 2022”

01 Without motives, drives, plans, agendas, expectations and opinions, we are free to just be where we are, seeing/hearing what’s what and what is called for, and doing what needs to be done with the gifts/daemon/shtick of our original nature and innate virtues, when, where and how it needs to be done, for the joyContinue reading “June 18, 2022”

01 Where is that “very present help in time of trouble”? “Though there be no cattle in the stalls, no sheep in the pasture, no grapes on the vines, no grain in the fields, yet even so, I will not forsake the way that is The Way, nor abandon my fealty, my loyalty, my devotionContinue reading “June 17-B, 2022”

01 I wish democracy worked as advertised. Majority rule and all that jazz. Money owns the government. The people don’t have a chance. And the people have to understand that and not give a damn. The attitude of the people cannot/must not be hopelessness and a loss of faith in government. The attitude of theContinue reading “June 17, 2022”

01 If we lay aside our expectations, agendas, plans, schemes, fears, desires and lethargy, and simply look for what needs doing, and bring our original nature and our innate virtues into play in doing it in each situation as it arises, this will transform our life and set us free to act in ways conduciveContinue reading “June 13, 2022”

01 We can deal with anything living out of our original nature and the virtues that are ours from birth in conjunction with the right kind of emptiness, stillness and silence. Emptiness, stillness and silence are the matrix within which we develop our relationship with our nature and our virtues, and out of which weContinue reading “June 12, 2022”

01 Living from our heart is living with sincerity and integrity. It is the way of all children. “Innocent,” we say. Without guile or craft, just “straight from the heart.” Until they learn to be crafty and sly. “Smart like a fox,” and “Always up to something.” But, Jesus meant living with sincerity and integrity,Continue reading “June 08, 2022”

01 The most important thing to be right about is what response is called for here/now? The most important thing to do is the response that is called for. Moment by moment, in each situation as it arises. Jesus and the Buddha together could not do better than that. –0– 02 People want their circumstancesContinue reading “June 04, 2022”

01 No expectation. No agenda. No opinion. Just seeing and doing what needs to be done about it. Whatever “it” may be. Go about your day like this, and note the difference it makes on you as you do it. Why live any other way? What does living any other way produce what you seeContinue reading “June 01, 2022”

01 What is your philosophy of health? How healthy are you on a scale of 1-10? What practices do you follow in the service of a healthy life style? I recommend a 12-hour fast every day, from the last calorie you consume in the evening, to the first calorie you consume in the morning. IContinue reading “May 28, 2022”
