Donald Trump is an evil man. He thrives on the pain of others. And has gathered around himself a cadre of people who thrive in an environment of hatred, ruthlessness and cruelty imposed upon a wide range of people who share one trait: They are not like Donald Trump and his co-hearts. To be different,Continue reading “February 04, 2026”

We do not need theology! We need only to drop into the silence (Emptiness, stillness and silence are one thing, not three. Naming one of them implies the other two). We can drop into the silence anywhere, any time, and breathe three slow, deep breaths, and step back into the life we were living throughoutContinue reading “February 03, 2026-B”

We live our life in the service of having our way and getting what we want. Why not? What alternative is there? All life, every living thing, throughout the Cosmos lives to have its way and get what it wants. Flip it to not have our way and not get what we want. We wouldContinue reading “February 03, 2026”

We learn util we die because we forget what we know all along the way. The guides who lead us have to be long on patience and short on disgust to stick with us and see us through to our final breath.

It is called “Getting out of our head and into our body.” Not allowing what we want/desire/fear/dread enter into theContinue reading “January 31, 2026”

This is from my WordPress Blog “200 More Zen Thoughts From Jim Dollar #3” 006. Different choices, different outcomes. Sounds easy. The problem is that we want particular outcomes. Servants of the Outcomes is the role we want ours to be. As though we know what is best for us. We only know what weContinue reading “January 29, 2026”

And that means being with the scene in a way that invites/allows the scene to reveal itself beyond its initial impact. It means being with the scene in the right kind ofContinue reading “January 29, 2026”

Our place in each day is not to impose our will, wants, wishes upon the day, but to align ourselves with the drift and flow of the day, doing what we can to aid and abet the day with its needs and interests. The question is not, “How can we be happy today?” but, “HowContinue reading “January 28, 2026”

Jesus came to tell us that nobody goes to hell, that everyone realizes the truth eventually and bears the pain of having taken so long to wake up to all things being the way they ought to be finally, at last, forever. The Prodigal’s father is the way God is. Drop into the silence andContinue reading “January 27, 2026”
