Knowing what’s what,what’s happening,and what’s called for,and doing it when, where, and howit is called for,in each situation as it arises,is all Jesus and the Buddha ever did.No one can do more than that!And the path to doing thatis the path of emptiness, stillness, silence,and waiting for clarity,or enlightenment, realization, awareness,and allowing our intuitive impulseContinue reading “April 02, 2025”
