And it moves into doing what is called for in each situation as it arises, when,Continue reading “April 09, 2026”

The heart of Taoism is seeing the truth of who we are in the moment of our living. Living with nothing to want and nothing to hide, open to the here, now, free to do what is called for when, where and how it is called for.

Babies are not trying to be anything–they are simply being who they are. Why/when do we stop that and start trying to be who we aren’t? And then spend our old age becoming who we were.

And we won’t be gone, necessarily, but moving onContinue reading “April 03, 2026”

If the entire world worked together in putting this into effect, the entire world would be a better place to live, like that, he said, snapping his fingers. And, if we act to enactContinue reading “April 02, 2026”

There is trying to please someone and there is simply being who we are. There is striving to have/get what we want, and there is simply being who we are, letting come what comes and letting go what goes. There is nothing more important than being who we are, doing what we need to doContinue reading “April 01, 2026”

God is not a spiritual being. “God” is the name bestowed upon a psychological process that is experienced/known by every living thing. This process is also known as “Psyche,” “Tao,” “Flow,” “Intuition,” “Atman,” “Brahman,” Etc., and is experienced as Presence, Intuition, Guide, Director, Peace, Aid, Etc. “God,” “Psyche,” et al, are just alternative ways ofContinue reading “March 31 – B, 2026”
