Finding our way to The Way one situation at a time. I don't know how great it will be, but I expect it will be interesting, and I look forward to it going on past all reason because wonder is just that way. Are you coming or not?
I do not know many peoplewho are content with doing what is called forin each situation as it arises.Everybody has an agenda.A plan.An idea of how things ought to be.They live in the serviceof what’s in it for them–of what they stand to gain or losein each situation as it arises.They have opinionsand a willContinue reading “August 28, 2024 – A”

Thinking is the sourceof all of our troubles today,and every day.Our troubles disappear “like that”when we change the way we think about them.Thus, thinking is also the solutionto all of our troubles today.Changing the way we thinkchanges everything.See how many different ways you can think about the thingsyou normally think about.If you sense trouble arising,changeContinue reading “August 27, 2024 – A”

There is only being who we are,doing what is ours to do,the way only we can do it.In each situation as it arises.No matter what.What’s the problem?Oh, wait! I see!Having our way–right?Getting what we want,when we want it–right?What does thinking about what we think aboutkeep us from thinking about?That’s called diversion,distraction,escape,denial.Which is where we spendContinue reading “August 26, 2024 – A”

People like Donald Trumpcannot comprehend the reality of restraints, confinements and limitations.To them, money can solve any problem,and they buy/threaten/force/coerce/extortthemselves to whatever they want.Well. Money can’t buy weather.Or shutdown volcanoes.And paying our enemies to not attack ushas not worked for anyone throughout time. There is a limit as to what money can do.But limits don’tContinue reading “August 25, 2024 – B”

Making sense of things is a full-time job.And we can’t ever be surewe’ve been successful.We take everything on faithin this world.We trust ourselves to our intuitionand take our chances.Our biggest chance is being rightabout how we read/understand our intuition!Too often, it seems, she says exactly what we want to hear.Which is to say our thumbContinue reading “August 24, 2024 – A”

We come equipped with three guidesto lead us along the way.There is what we do best.And what we enjoy/love doing most.And there is our intrinsic intuitionas our ever-present helpin all times and places.Our place is to know what we do best,and what we enjoy/love doing most,and to develop our relationshipwith our intuitionby simply watching/listeningfor whatContinue reading “August 23, 2024 – C”

What do you have to say?How are you saying it?What is yours to do?How are you doing it?Who is it yours to be?How are you being it?What we say–what we do–who we are–are ours to say-do-bein the time yet left for living.How are you going to get it done?When are you going to start?Let yourContinue reading “August 23, 2024 – B”

There is a rhythm and flowto our life and to all of life.When we cooperate with that rhythm and flow,all is well.When we co-opt that rhythm and flowand try to direct it toward endsthat are pleasing to us,it all goes to hell.Cooperating with the rhythm and flow of lifebegins with our looking to our intuitionforContinue reading “August 23, 2024 – A”

The most important thinghas always beendoing what’s called forin the moment at hand.The here, now is alwayscalling for something,and we are always havingto rise to the occasionwith the right responseto meet the circumstances,rhythm and flowof the times that always “are a’changing.'””Wake up and meet the day,”day after day.is the wayof seeing how, and where,it goeseveryday.ItContinue reading “August 22, 2024 – B”

We don’t need to know anythingthat we do not already know.Another Bible study isn’t going tomake any difference in the way our lifeis lived. Neither is another sermon.Or another book.It comes down to us and our intuition,and the emptiness, stillness and silence.And our being clear about our original nature, our inherent virtues–what we do bestContinue reading “August 22, 2024 – A”

We don’t need more information.We don’t need to know somethingWe don’t know.We only need to establish and developour relationship with our intuition.Understanding/comprehending/knowingthat we exist to serve our intuition,not that your intuition exits to serve us.We are Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden,and Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane,where the right relationship with ourContinue reading “August 21, 2024 – A”
