Start anywhere, any time. The path begins with the next step, in any direction. Just start walking with your eyes and ears open, being aware of everything. There is nothing more to enlightenment than realization, and there is always more to realize than we realize, so we are always being enlightened, we are always wakingContinue reading “September 27-A, 2022”

When Jesus said, “Wisdom is known by her children,” he is saying, “Time will tell.” The way we read and respond to the situation as it arises will be validated or invalidated in time. And that will inform how we read and respond to similar situations in the future. We learn from experience only whenContinue reading “September 24-A, 2022”

It is easy for me to see that slavery should never have happened, and that “manifest destiny” was a slogan carved out of capitalism as an excuse for taking the entire country from the indigenous people who were clearly the “destined” “owners” of the land, its waters and minerals and oil, etc. It is wrongContinue reading “September 21-C, 2022”

All we need to know is what’s what and what needs to be done about it, when, where and how in each situation as it arises all our life long. Then there is only doing it, and that’s that. What makes that so difficult? Caring. All we care about is what we want. Also knownContinue reading “September 20-B, 2022”

To get a sense of the world beyond theology, we would have to go back to the Garden of Eden. Once Adam and Eve ate the Forbidden Fruit, theology was born, and we had the world as it is today. The Knowledge of Good and Evil is theology. “This is Good, that’s Evil!” is theology.Continue reading “September 19-B, 2022”

If you are contented, comfortable, at peace, satisfied, and glad to be where you are stay there. Continue doing what you are doing, exactly as you are doing it. Go with balance, harmony and well-being all the way. Do not disrupt what is working. People all over the world are quite at home in theirContinue reading “September, 3rd Week, 2022”

Finding your life and living it means knowing what constitutes life for you, and what takes the life right out of you– and doing more of the things on the first list, and fewer of the things on the second list. Since my wife and I retired, we don’t do much at all on theContinue reading “September 19-A, 2022”

Life is a great place to practice being alive. It is a proving ground, a laboratory, a testing facility, where we get up every day and find ways of being who we are, living true to ourselves, anyway, nevertheless, even so, no matter what, for as long as we breathe. Breathing is the key, theContinue reading “September 18-B, 2022”

The old formula has held its value undiminished throughout the ages: No expectations, No plans, No agendas, No opinions. The right kind of emptiness, stillness and silence. Sincerity, Integrity, Spontaneity. Original/Essential Nature. Innate virtues from birth. Lead with feeling, not thinking. Re-adjust, make corrections as needed, trusting ourselves to see, hear, understand, know, do, beContinue reading “September 17-C, 2022”

Life is the source of life. There are no gods. No pecking order. No beginning. No end. This is it. Basically, all there is– just another representation out of an infinite number of possibilities. What are the chances? It is all possible over time, and we have all the time there is. And all theContinue reading “September 14-B, 2022”

We have to make it work. We have to know what we are working for, if it can be had, and if it meshes with, exhibits, expresses, incarnates, reveals our essential/original nature, who we are. Is our heart in it? Does our work say who we are? This is always where it comes apart. WeContinue reading “September 13-C, 2022”

Facts don’t change to suit our preferences, but denial never met a fact it couldn’t disappear like that (Snaps fingers). If denial doesn’t like something, denial disappears it on the spot. There never was a truth denial couldn’t deny and X-out in a wink. You could talk to Jesus about that. Denial is a superpowerContinue reading “September 13-A, 2022”
