The Tao,the Dharma,and our Intuitionare all as onewhen it comes to declaringthat it comes down todoing the right thing,at the right time,in the right way,in the right place–for the joy of doing itand the satisfaction of having done it.And, beyond that,there is nothing in it for us.So, why would we do it?Because that is whatContinue reading “June 22, 2024 – A”

The amount of noise in our lifeis the degree of distraction in our life,is the measure of the amount of life in our life.The noisier we livethe less alive we are.Our life is one distraction/diversionafter another.And we hate silencebecause we don’t know what to do with it.And we have to have something to doto takeContinue reading “June 21, 2024 – B”

I am against things that introduce noise into the equation.People are always introducing noiseinto the equation.All equations.It is as though everyone thinkslife has to be loud to be alive.I see noise, not as life,but as complexity, drama, trauma.And, I see silence–the right kind of emptiness, stillness, silence–as the womb of life, living, being alive.We returnContinue reading “June 21, 2022 – A”

We don’t get there by trying,and we don’t get there by trying not to try.We get there by responding naturally,automatically, without thinking about itto the situation as it arises,doing what is called forwith the gifts at our disposal:Our original nature,our innate virtues/virtuosities(What we do best and enjoy doing most),and our intrinsic intuition–doing what needs toContinue reading “June 20, 2024 – A”

When The Right Thing To Doloses consensus nationwide,we no longer can boast of “One nation under Godwith liberty and justice for all.”All it took were malcontentswith conspiracy theoriesbroadcasting the endless waysdemocracy was unfair to themand their kind,for “What about ME?” and”When is it going to be MY turn?” to expose the fragile nature of goodContinue reading “June 19, 2024 – A”

If you are waiting for your lossesto be made up to you,you are standing in a long linewith other losses accumulatingwhile you are waiting forthe original ones to be redeemed.Better just to let them goand let it be.Some parents are better than others,and some kids get the good ones,and others get the rotten ones.It isContinue reading “June 18, 2024 – A”

“God” does not have to be, need to be, posited in any of it. In “God,” we find a well-developed projection of ourselves (Our idea of our “best self”) that is “believed to be ‘Out There’” but is actually only faith in faith. We could as well consider it to be faith in ourselves. ThereContinue reading “June 17, 2024 – B”

I had a dream last nightdriving home the point that I have no idea of what I’m doing–I have a chant that goes:”I do not know what to do,I do not know what to do (Repeat)–and am stuck eternally with trustingmy intuition to find the way,the path,The Tao,through the darkness of the time and place,theContinue reading “June 17, 2024 – A”

Ghetto Economics will be Trump’s calling cardif he is re-elected,stealing from the poorand giving to the rich.The Billionaire foundation paving Trump’s wayis composed of people in a Money Bubble,aware only of what they stand to gainwith Trump in office,and oblivious to what the peopleoutside that bubble stand to lose.That would be,for all practical purposes,everything. Me,Continue reading “June 16, 2024 -B”

It comes down torevolves around,flows fromlistening to our intuition. There is never,was never,never will be,any more to it than that.The people who listen to their intuitionare who they need to be,doing what needs to be done,when/where and how it needs to be done.And the world is better off for them.Our calling is to live theContinue reading “June 16, 2024 – A”

Intuition guides us along the way,past the withering exits to the Wasteland,disguised as shortcutsto Happy Ever After,beyond the off rampsto All Our Dreams Come True,through the darknessof lost hopeand bitter disappointments,to the realizationof oneness with balance and harmonyand the best we have to offeraligned with the heart of life and beingthrough the situationsand circumstances asContinue reading “June 15, 2024 – B”
