Wanting, getting, acquiring, amassing, having, owning, hoarding, etc. fuels our journey, provides purpose and meaning to our days. If it weren’t for that, what would we do?The emptiness of a life overflowing with stuff is reflected in,exhibited by, addictive attraction to drugs, sex, alcohol and an aimless wandering through our birthdays with nothing to indicateContinue reading “June 13, 2025”

I know where to put the tripod.I have always known where to put the tripod.And that knowing is not something I can claimas having generated. It is something that Ihave received, recognized, acknowledged. I do notcreate it–I simply know it.If you are quiet, silent, still, empty of all thoughts, emotions, memories, desires/wants, etc.you will knowContinue reading “June 12, 2025”

Who was it who said, “It is the wave’s place to realize it is the ocean”? This realization makes meditation simply a matter of relaxing into “Peaceful abiding, here, now.” It can’t be about achieving anything, accomplishing anything, doing anything. The wave doesn’t achieve, accomplish, do anything to be the ocean. Meditation doesn’t achieve, accomplish,Continue reading “June 11, 2025”

The Four Points of Heresy1. Orthodoxy killed Jesus. The Priests, the Elders, The Scribes and Pharisees, the Sanhedrin were all the epitome of Orthodoxy. As to their faith they were without sin. So don’t hang your hat on orthodoxy. There is nothing, Biblically speaking, to commend it. 2. Jesus was crucified for heresy and blasphemy.Continue reading “June 10, 2025”

Finding our niche and our schtick and our hangouts is finding ourselves. Which makes me easy to locate. I stand out like a snag on a mountain ridge. I am peculiar that way. And not particularly accessible, which is the driving idea.On the other hand, I’m eager to talk to anyone about the things IContinue reading “June 09, 2025”

Wanting is the origin of all of our problems today, every day.Take the word “want” out of our vocabularyand our difficulties disappear like that (Snaps fingers).The old Taoists and Buddhists and everyone who knows anything have known this from the beginning.Speaking of the beginning,there is Adam and Eve wanting, and here we are.From the startContinue reading “June 08, 2025”

Heresy is the path to truth. Is truth.Truth is not static. Frozen. The same forever.”The Spirit is like the wind that blows where it will.””The old has passed away! Behold! The new has come!”If we aren’t thinking things we have never thought before,we aren’t thinking. We are remembering.To be alive is to experience things forContinue reading “June 07, 2025”

What is your experience of That Which Has Always Been Called God?It dwells in the borderland between physical and psychic reality.It may be experienced as a dream state of being,or as intuition.A time when things just “Clicked” into place.A series of events that came together to “arrange”an encounter that transformed your life.A realization that cameContinue reading “June 06, 2025”

Think of this image as theology broadcast to thousands of people of a scene that never existed anywhere in real, actual, time.In real, actual time, the tree in the middle is the only one that is real and actual. At the time I took its picture, it lived across the street from my house inContinue reading “June 05, 2025”

Meeting the day as the day needs to be met is all that is ever asked of any of us. What keeps that from happening varies around the room. You will have to speak for yourselves, but my excuse is a profound lack of clarity. If the day were only more obvious about what itsContinue reading “June 04, 2025”

The place of the cross in our life is the place of death and resurrection.How many times are we asked to take our place on Golgothaand die again?Every time a “collision of duties comes along where obligation is pitted against obligation,will against will” (Carl Jung),where we are damned if we do and damned if weContinue reading “June 02, 2025”
