This is #160 in my “Zen Thoughts” on my other WordPress Blog, “Jim Dollar’s Published Works.” There is wanting, and there is guessing, and there is thinking, and there is knowing. Knowing how to know what’s what, what’s happening, what’s called for, what needs to be done, where, when and how is the Philosopher’s Stone.Continue reading “December 07 – B, 2025”

The Woman on a Black Horse is my metaphor for my Intuition, the Psyche-Psychic source and center of my being. What’s yours? With this statement and this question, I am reforming religion as we know it and making it more personal and more reflective, meditative, mindful, vibrant and alive than the religion I am replacingContinue reading “November 25, 2025”

You know Jesus’ instructions to “Pray always”? He was talking about creating a regular, on-going, uninterrupted conscious presence with our Psyche. Psyche is that which has always been called “God,”–especially before theology, doctrine, heaven and hell, etc. Which is to say, before the Church of Rome invented theology, doctrine, heaven and hell, etc. in theContinue reading “November 24, 2025”

The power of perspective cannot be overstated. How we see what we look at makes all the difference. And how we see when we look at our seeing–at what we see and how we evaluate it, so that we evaluate our evaluations–is the most important place to examine our perspective regarding how we are seeingContinue reading “November 20, 2025”

When I threw out theology all those years ago, I had to replace it with something that could serve as the core ground of existence, the “rock solid foundation” of who we are and what we are about, the Source of Life and Being. Initially, I referred to the bedrock of all that is “ThatContinue reading “November 18, 2025”

There is the God of theology, and there is “That Which Has Always Been Called God” beyond theology.Theology was invented by the Church of Rome over the 400 years between Jesus’ execution and the closing of the Canon which ended the amount of material that could be included in the Bible. The Church of RomeContinue reading “October 29, 2025”

We are paying the price for electing Donald Trump, and will be paying it for the rest of our life. This train wreck won’t fix itself, put itself back on the tracks and chug along to glory in our life time. We are on our own. It is up to us to put our lifeContinue reading “October 28, 2025”

The line between “Reformer” and “Heretic” is too fine to be seen. It doesn’t exist. It all depends on how we see what we look at. Jesus was a reformer who was executed as a heretic by the Romans at the request of Caiphas, the High Priest of the Temple in Jerusalem. And the doctrinesContinue reading “October 24, 2025”

When we toss theology and doctrine, all of which was invented by the Church of Rome during the 400 years between Jesus’ crucifixion and the closing of the Canon, with the Church coming up with the catchy slogan, “This is what Jesus did for you and you are going straight to hell if you don’tContinue reading “October 22, 2025”

How well we live is how well we respond to our environment–how well we do what is called for in each situation as it arises. We live to do well with our life. To do right by our knacks and abilities and the gifts of our original nature, our innate imagination and inherent intuition. WeContinue reading “October 04, 2025”

There are two things standing in the way of happiness all the time and ever after: Caring and Wanting. When we stop caring about and wanting the wrong things all, of our troubles disappear like that (snaps fingers). Figure out your Wanting/Caring ratios and you have it made. Stop wanting Trump to grow up, forContinue reading “October 03, 2025”

Tethered. The boat is useless and in the way unless it is tethered to something throughout its life. The same thing applies to each of us. To what are we tethered? What anchors us? declares what we are about? To what do we belong? What is our business? Ours to do?Our identity is wrapped upContinue reading “September 12, 2025”
