Anybody can be Jesus.Anybody can be the Buddha.All it takes is getting out of the way.Jesus and the Buddha got out of the way.And were one with what was called for,with what needed to happen,in each situation as it arose,without imposing themselves–in the form of their gain, their profit, their benefit, etc.onto the situation.They didn’tContinue reading “September 06, 2024 – A”
