01 Our orientation has to flow out of, and be in sync with, the wholeness of our being in space and time. What is wholly us about us? Hold that thought. The phrase “raised from the dead” has to be understood metaphorically, symbolically, spiritually, psychologically– not actually, physically, literally. We can be “raised from theContinue reading “April 14, 2921”

01 What does orthodoxy fear from heresy? Orthodoxy’s insane response to heresy– excommunication, denunciation, torture, execution via burning at the stake and attacks in the Colosseum by lions and wild dogs, hanging and drowning– exposes fault lines destabilizing the foundations of orthodoxy. What does truth have to fear from the exploration of truth? Orthodoxy onContinue reading “April 11, 2021”

03 Start with what you love. Select one thing from all the things you love. How much time do you spend with it? How often? How long has it been? What can you do to increase frequency and duration? Will you do it? Imagine putting a frame around your selection to isolate it for yourContinue reading “March 14, 2021”

02 The most any guru, master, teacher or friend can do for you is to tell you: “Don’t listen to me! Listen to you!” And: “LISTEN TO ME when I tell you, ‘Don’t listen to me. Listen to YOU!’!” Everything rides on you listening to you, and knowing what to listen to and what toContinue reading “March 13, 2021”

02 “It will all be fine as soon as everything starts going my way, and all these people get out of my way, and stop making noise and stirring up dust, and clamoring about getting their way!” This has become the international creed for all people everywhere. It is “my way” that is in theContinue reading “March 11, 2021”

05 Our pain is our joy. This is the reverse of the Buddhist position: All of life is suffering, woe, woe! That is just one way of looking at it, and the wrong way, at that! Of Jesus it was said, “For the joy that was set before him, he endured the cross…” And heContinue reading “March 10, 2021”

04 Stop thinking about what you want and how to get it. Start thinking about what is called for, here and now, and how you might rise to the occasion and offer what is needed with the gifts, virtues, genius, daemon, abilities, interests, aptitudes, etc. that are yours to share– without regard for what youContinue reading “March 06, 2021”

03 Getting what we want and having our way take us straight to the heart of the Wasteland. Everybody knows what they want: Their Way! And everybody thinks it is all someone else’s fault that things never work out for them. Things never work out because they want the wrong things, and try to acquireContinue reading “February 22, 2021”

07 It is important to know the difference between trusting your luck and pushing your luck. It has been my experience that I can count on “invisible means of support” (Bill Moyers) whenever I venture forth in the service of what needs to be done. But to try to use that support to serve myContinue reading “February 15, 2021”

02 The greatest mystery all-time without a close competitor is the Psyche that forms the nucleus around which we revolve. The old definition of God being a circle whose center is everywhere and whose circumference is nowhere is as close as we are likely to ever get in talking/thinking about the Psyche. Words make noContinue reading “February 14, 2021”

02 Before retirement, I spent my time tending matters that I haven’t tended since retirement. They were all necessary aspects of my employment, and I did them well enough to not know where I stopped what I did for a living started, but when I stopped doing it for a living, my life became myContinue reading “February 02, 2021”
