The newest edition of A Handbook For The Spiritual Journey is up and available ($2.00) at the Kindle store on Amazon. It revolutionizes thinking about all things God, though the cover will be a bit different due to complications beyond my control.

Looking out the window is another form of escape, diversion, distraction, denial, and a wonderful way of producing a self-induced trance state in which we can engage the force of Tao-Psyche-Intuition that aligns us with the truth of how things are and what is called for here, now in order to do what needs toContinue reading “June 09, 2026 – C”

The idea that the quality and amount of our silence can improve the quality of our life (And our luck) in itself improves the quality of our life and luck. What could possibly be the connection? Calming us down, focusing us on what we are doing and what needs us to do it. Taking ourContinue reading “June 09, 2026 – B”

It would be better if we had better choices. The choices we have, and have had, are and were the only ones available at the time, and we did, are doing, the best we can do with them given the circumstances we are working with. And the ony suggestion I can make to us allContinue reading “June 09, 2026”

Joseph Campbell said, “We know when we are on the beam and when we are off it.” And yet, being on the beam is contingent upon not thinking about it. Being at one with the Tao is not thinking about it. Not thinking about what to do, when, where, and how, and trusting ourselves toContinue reading “June 08, 2026”

Resting in the moment, being here, now, fine with everything just as it is in a “This, too. This, too,” kind of way, is doing it (Life, I’m talking about) exactly as it is to be done–in a “Nothing special” kind of way. Being here, now in a way that allows everything to be withContinue reading “June 07, 2026 – C”

Pretend it matters, and live like it does, whether what we do makes any difference or not. It will make a difference in how we live our lives–and that will make as much difference as we can legitimately expect to make with our life. So join me in living like it matters. Do everything weContinue reading “June 07, 2026 – B”

Wu-wei is a Taoist phrase that means “Don’t push the River!” Don’t force your way!” It actually translates as “Getting things accomplished without appearing to be doing anything.” Or, “No pushing, no shoving, no screaming, no shouting!” Or as, “Easy does it.” It means, “Looking things over,” “Sizing things up,” “Seeing what is needed,” “KnowingContinue reading “June 07, 2026”

I have several domains with Word Press. Tao-Psyche-Intuition.com is the newest. There is the God of theology, the God of the doctrines and the dogma, the Bible, the Sacraments, the Catechisms and the Prayer Books. And there is the God before theology, etc. The God Beyond theology, etc. Psyche is God without theology. The GodContinue reading “June 06, 2026”

All life has preferences. All life eats, breathes and sleeps–and knows when, where and how to do it. That is called “taking care of our basic needs.” The further from meeting our basic needs we get, the more our preferences get in our way–and we have to know when to over-ride our preferences, and whenContinue reading “June 05, 2026 – C”

Here is an excerpt from my book, “The Way of Wild Things, 6th Edition”– Our opposites, contradictions and polarities are thresholds to awareness, awakening, maturation, grace, mercy and peace. We only have to recognize and appreciate them for what they are, bear consciously the tension of their opposition and allow them to shape us intoContinue reading “June 05, 2026 – B”

Evey photograph is time and place. And a surprise. Unrepeatable, thus unique. A miracle of time and place. And a gift with the caption, “Are you kidding me?” Amazing Grace out of nowhere. That’s why we all carry cameras. No? And this is also the cover of my newest eBook on Kindle, although it isContinue reading “June 05, 2026”
