Balance and Harmony,serenity and tranquility, at peace with ourselves and our situation in life…These are the conditions required to access our intuitionand align ourselves with it.And they are concurrent withemptiness, stillness and silence.The right kind of emptiness is contingent upon the conditionsrequired for alignment with our intuition.It all comes together to lead us along theContinue reading “August 08, 2024 – A”

Living intutionally puts us in the centerof the way that is the way,and relieves us of the burdenof having to know what we are doing.I have never known what I was doing.And I am five months away from stepping intomy eighty-first year.It feels as though I have been guided alongthrough the entire maize of choicesandContinue reading “August 07, 2024 – A”

I think we do it betterwith more of the right kind of emptiness/stillness/silence,conscious/mindful awarenessand intentional affiliation with our intrinsic intuition.Abandoning achievement/acquisition/accomplishment/productivity/etc.in favor of living aligned with,in full accord with,our intuition,would work wonders “right out of the box.”I am confident that the Buddha and Jesus did it this way,as have all those who have done/are doingContinue reading “August 06, 2024 – A”

The future is crammed with possibility,and we have to be ready for it all,though the likelihood of my being draftedinto some war is less likely every day.I will take a piece of blueberry piewith vanilla ice cream if one becomes available.It is amazing how difficult it is to whipone of those up.Possibility is never whatContinue reading “August 05, 2024 – B”

Doing it the way you thinkit ought to be done,doesn’t mean telling anyone elsewhat you are doing,or telling them what you thinkthey ought to do beyond,”Listen to your own heart,and follow your own intuition.”If everyone listened to their own heartand followed their own intuition,the world would be a different placeovernight.We do our part by listeningContinue reading “August 05, 2024 – A”

We are–or eventually will be–awash in circumstanceswhich challenge our resources, will, and intellectin rising to the occasionand doing what needs to be done.We can be swamped, in other words,and at a loss as to what to do,here, now, next.The work is to empty ourselvesof all anxietyand open ourselves to the stillness and silenceand to ourContinue reading “August 04, 2024 – B”

We wait for the right time to act,in the right wayand the right place,then we offer our bestin the service of what is called for.How do we know what is right,when, where and how?Ah, that is where our intrinsic intuition comes in.Our place is to invite/allow/permitour intuition to guide our boat on its paththrough theContinue reading “August 04, 2024 – A”

We live and die as though we are individuals.ButIt gets all blurry and slushylike a blenderized fruit medleyin death.All our lines are erased.We look around as single malt liquor mightin its curing barrel,wondering if we just made up individually,and if we didn’t, how did it all disappear so quickly?But really?I have a 1 year oldContinue reading “August 03, 2024 – A”

Knowing the differencebetween Stop – Go,Yes – Nois important knowing.Managing dualitiescorrectly,not incorrectlymakes all the difference.And dispensing with dualityin a cavalier,”Enough of that,it’s only appearances” kind of wayleaves us in Limboland,not sure if we are here or there,or somewhere in-between–neither here nor there,both here and there.What’s for lunch?Where is the checkbookand the car keys?Those who knowandContinue reading “August 02, 2024 – A”

I am for throwing out theology,doctrine, dharma, dogma, creeds, beliefsand opinions–and devoting ourselves,routinely and regularly,to emptiness/stillness/silence,opening ourselves to our intrinsic intuition,our original nature,and our innate virtues–the things we do bestand enjoy/love doing most.And seeing where it goes over time.You will not find a better,or more timely,suggestion in the entire world of ideasand talktalktalk.

What would be helpful?This is one of the most timelyquestions of the day every day. Here, Now.All day long.How can we be of helpto each situation as it arises?If we knew the answer to that question,it would be a different world,here, now.So, take the question as your own.Ponder the question.Offer tentative answers.Learn as you go.Seeking/doingContinue reading “August 01, 2024 – A”

The waitress at the Glacier Dinersaid, “Honey, if it isn’t raining,its burning.And rain is a lot better.”So we took the rain with a smile,happy it wasn’t worse,for a week of seven wet dayswithout a mountain top in sight.We were regulars at the Glacier Pie Place,with their “Pie for Courage” hatsand their menu with more piesthanContinue reading “August, 2024”
