We wait to see where it’s going, what to make of it, what to do. Everything shakes out by and by, clarifies, comes into focus. In the meantime, we wait. And watch, and listen, taking it all in without judgment or opinion. There is this, and that, and those things over there, but what needsContinue reading “July 12-A, 2022”

We surprise ourselves from time to time, with the right action done in the right way at the right time in the right place, even when nobody notices and life clicks right along. Clicking right along is the point. The wrong thing– particularly the really wrong thing- would have made an impact, rocked that portionContinue reading “July 11-B, 2022”

We are here to figure out what we are here for and how to achieve it. We start with finding our original nature and our innate virtues, and then think of avenues we might explore for applying our gifts/daemon/shtick/knacks/interests/etc. in the service of what needs to be done, when, where and how it needs toContinue reading “July 11-A, 2022”

We have to be right about what needs to be done, when, where and how, and do it in each situation as it arises all our life long, no matter what. And. There is no way we can be always right about it. So, we have to be alert to that reality, and make ourContinue reading “July 10-C, 2022”

The world needs its human population to be vitally alive. For that to be true of us, we have to be interested in what we are doing, and understand it to be necessary work, vital work, important in a substantive way to the welfare of ourselves and our neighbors. We have to be doing workContinue reading “July 10-A, 2022”

The life we are living needs to evoke, enable, serve our original nature and the innate virtues that are ours from birth. However, this may be other than what we do to pay the bills evokes, enables, serves. In that case, we walk two paths at the same time, by keeping an eye on theContinue reading “July 09-A, 2022”

It’s tricky. We have to know what we are doing, and we have no idea of what we are doing, so we have to know that we do not know what we are doing, and focus on knowing what we know. We have to know what we know in each situation as it arises. Discounting,Continue reading “July 08-C, 2022”

In the emptiness, stillness and silence, everything comes up for inspection. If we can hold it in our awareness as interested observers, without engaging with any of it, just watching, just seeing, just knowing, we can discover how our experience has impacted us by the frequency with which things appear to pass in review. andContinue reading “July 07-C, 2022”

The grounding center of true religion is listening, seeing, feeling, intuiting, knowing, trusting, doing, being what is called for in the time and place of our living. There is no believing any doctrine, theology, creed, or dogma. There is only the experience of the here/now and our response to it on the level of psyche/somaContinue reading “July 07-A, 2022”

01 We have to know what is required of us and be right about it. And do it. We are not free to do whatever we want with our life. We are obligated to live according to, aligned with, in accord with, our life’s idea for itself. We have to know what we need toContinue reading “July 06-C, 2022”

01 Everything starts with and flows from autonomy. You have to have the right and the freedom to be who you are, living out of your own sense of direction and purpose, being true to your original nature and the innate virtues that are yours at birth. You have to have the right and theContinue reading “July 06-B, 2022”

01 Bear the pain of life’s disappointments, betrayals and tragic turns with sincerity and integrity, living out of your original nature and innate virtues, doing your best to make the best of it all, anyway, nevertheless, even so, no matter what. And, when it is done, go to meet your death the same way youContinue reading “July 04/ 2022”
