Tranquility/serenity/peaceful abiding here, now. Which is the gateway to seeing, hearing, knowing what’s what and what is called for and doing it when, where and how it needs to be done in every situation as it arises all our life long. The older I get the less respect I have for theology and doctrine andContinue reading “October 21, 2025”

When the President of the United States decimates and disregards Democracy, it is because the people who elected him no longer believe in Democracy themselves. When over 50% of the people who voted in the last election do not believe in Democracy–do not treasure, honor, esteem, venerate, serve and celebrate Democracy, we have become asContinue reading “October 20, 2025”

The meaning of a thing, anything, everything, is what it means to someone, everyone. There is no intrinsic meaning anywhere in/to anything. It is all imposed, projected, imagined. When someone declares, “It’s all meaningless!”, they say it as though the meaninglessness of everything is very meaningful to them. It all cannot be meaningless if itsContinue reading “October 19, 2025”

Getting our feet under us and stepping into each day as the day needs to be met is a simple matter of having the essential elements in place and following the routines of orienting ourselves in emptiness, stillness, silence to the point of peaceful abiding, here, now, and being clear about what’s what, what’s happening,Continue reading “October 18, 2025”

The plan is to be who we are, doing what is ours to do, in response to the situation and what is happening here, now, and what is called for in light of everything that is impinging upon the moment. We can rise to every/any occasion with what we have to offer from the giftsContinue reading “October 17, 2025”

The Garden of Eden did not exist. Adam and Eve are not real people. The story is about the danger of wanting the wrong things, of caring about things that do not matter. It is a great story. And terrible theology. All theology is terrible. Theology is a collection of opinions about hearsay. There isContinue reading “October 16, 2025 – B”

We cannot help how we see things, the way we think about things. We can change our mind about how we see and think about how things are, but not by force of will–only by growing up, some more, again. It is almost as though we can’t be held accountable for the way we seeContinue reading “October 16, 2025”

The two orbs, spheres, balls represent all that is. They are symbols/metaphors for the mystery of being and non-being. They are different sizes to represent the duality that is oneness but not sameness. All of which is of no significance (importance) to anyone but me. These two orbs, spheres, balls represent to me all thatContinue reading “October 15, 2025 – B”

Take away the psychological mechanism of projection (Which is our ability to imagine/make-up stories about what we experience) and nothing makes sense. We make up the sense we make of things by telling ourselves stories about them. We imagine the entire apparatus into existence. We look at this image and see it because of theContinue reading “October 15, 2025”

“All we ever wanted was smooth and easy,” said Ogi Overman, explaining the foundation of alcoholism. If that is the cause, the cure is simple as doing what is called for when, where and how it is called for with no fanfare, bucking, snorting moaning, complaining, whining, shouting, stomping, sobbing… Just get up and changeContinue reading “October 14, 2025”

What associations do you make with this image? What does it bring to mind? Follow the train of associations as one leads to another. See where it takes you,and where your refections go. Do the same things with the list of words below, though not in one sitting. What do they stir to life within?Continue reading “October 13, 2025”

If we sense our way into the rhythm and flow of our life, and trust ourselves to it completely–apart from plans, schemes and dreams–we will be placing ourselves at the sweet spot of our unfolding, not knowing or caring where it is going. We aren’t trying to make anything happen. We don’t have any ideaContinue reading “October 12, 2025”
