Sustaining, maintaining, regaining our balance and harmonyis the key to a well-lived life.Art, music and nature, trance states, babies and petshelp to center and focus us in order to do what is called for”on the heaving waves of the wine-dark sea.”And, That Which Has Always Been Called “God.”I say “That Which Has Always Been CalledContinue reading “May 10, 2025”

Projection, properly understood and diagnosed, is the end of religion. We are seeing things that are not there by being coerced into taking everything on faith. “It doesn’t exist until you believe it does! Then it becomes an absolute fact like that!

How long will recovery take?Nothing Trump is doing will reduce that time.And, if we think about recovery worldwide,from The Amazon, to Gaza, and Palestine…the time frame just gets ridiculous.Why do we live in ways that do not enhance life?What are we living for in ways worldwidethat do not enhance life?What are we seeking short termthatContinue reading “May 08, 2025”

We pick up and go on anyway, nevertheless, even so.And that is as close to forgiveness as we need to get.Grave transgressions against us change things forever.It will never be as it was.”A voice was heard in Ramah, weeping and loud lamentation, Rachel weeping for her children; she refused to be comforted, because they areContinue reading “May 06, 2025”

Do me a favor and stop right now and do an internet search forfather greg boyle, and watch some videos. Come back when you are ready.Greg Boyle is who God would be if God could be anyone God wanted to be.

We have to not care what our chances are,or what the odds are,or what our outcomes are.These things cannot matter to us at all.Our filial loyalty and our life-long devotionhave to be to who we are,not to what we achieve,or what difference we make.We all live and die,and who knows who we were or whatContinue reading “May 03, 2025”

On one hand, I would like to be able to saythat I am not going to kill anyone intentionally.On another hand, I recognizethat there are people who need killing,and, given the right circumstances, I could and would do the job.That opens the door to the contradictory essenceof good and evil–that good has to be ableContinue reading “May 01, 2025”
