01 Living from the center of our Original Nature, seeking the Source of Life and Being, embracing the Mystery at the heart of it all, we become the Messiah, The Anointed One, come to set others free to live from the center of their own Original Nature, seeking the Source of Life and Being, embracingContinue reading “April 16, 2021”

01 Think of Karma as the other side of Tao. Living in accord with the Tao creates good Karma. Living out of accord with the Tao creates bad Karma. Living in accord with the Tao creates balance and harmony. Living out of accord with the Tao creates complexity and chaos. We add complexity and chaosContinue reading “April 15, 2021”

01 Genghis Khan lamented that conquering and governing were two different ways of life, and mutually exclusive. Conquers cannot govern. It is the difference between ruthlessness and kindness. The Genesis command to “fill the earth and subdue it” is not a call to be stewards of the earth but a directive to conquer the earthContinue reading “April 13, 2021”

01 Nothing is more important than being right about what is important, and serving it with your life through each situation as it arises from beginning to end. The same thing goes for what matters most. Human beings throughout time, have been famous for missing the point of their life, striving for the wrong ends,Continue reading “April 12, 2021”

01 Pace and timing, Kid. Pace and timing. The geese fly when it is time for flying. The photographer takes the picture when it is time to take the picture. Now is always “the acceptable time” for something. Being right about what is where we come in. It is our place in the cosmos toContinue reading “April 10, 2021”

01 Learning to be alive in the time left for living is a simple matter of transforming your relationship with yourself and with your life. You’ve been doing it all wrong. Reconciliation is a two-way street. We have to reconcile ourselves to the world, and we have to reconcile the world to ourselves. Here’s theContinue reading “April 09, 2021”

01 The fascist dream is a nightmare– for everyone, including fascists! If we rid the world of everyone not like we are, we are left with ourselves, and the realization that who we hate is us! Fascists hate themselves and blame everyone not like them for it: “It’s people like you who make people likeContinue reading “April 08, 2021”

01 Our balance and harmony are strictly contingent on our safety, security and stability– which, in turn, rely on our being free from the intrusions, incursions, invasions and overrunings of Those Who Know Best And Must Be Pleased. Balance and harmony are generated by, and flow from, a life that is lived from its ownContinue reading “April 07, 2021”

01 Doing what needs to be done, when it needs to be done, where it needs to be done, the way it needs to be done, and repeating this process through each moment of every situation as it arises, is more about listening and looking, seeing and hearing, than it is about prioritizing. We needContinue reading “April 06, 2021”

01 We die because it becomes too much trouble to keep going. We Peter-out. We dwindle down to nothing. Our knees go. Our eyesight goes. Our teeth go. Our hearing goes… The list goes on and on. And we get to the place of saying the hell with it. I’m suggesting that longevity is notContinue reading “April 05, 2021”

01 When you are thinking, also be thinking about your thinking. To not be thinking about your thinking is to be swept away by your thinking, carried off, into emotional fits of rage, or terror, or remorse and guilt– possessed by your thoughts and your feelings about your thoughts to the point of losing allContinue reading “April 04, 2021”

01 The impulse of our original nature comes to us in the silence of watching, listening– which characterizes the Aborigines’ walkabouts, and the Native American vision quests, and our own search for the source of life and being– to guide our boat on its path through the sea. “The path that can be discerned isContinue reading “April 03, 2021”
