Knowing what is called for in a situation and doing what needs to be done about it, when, where, and how it needs to be done is done trusting ourselves to our intuition and allowing, in the words of the Tao Te Ching, “the outcome to be the outcome.” This is the crux of theContinue reading “February 24, 2026”

How we live in response to the vicissitudes of life tells the tale. IS the tale. Life happens and we respond. And that is all there is. We generally respond in light of what we want to happen.

Yesterday, here, I put to rest the doctrine of Original Sin and the need for the Substitutionary Theory of the Atonement, or any need for atonement as a way of helping God get over the sin of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, which never existed at any time anywhere in the historyContinue reading “January 22, 2026”

This is #40 of “200 More Zen Thoughts From Jim Dollar #1” blog on WordPress: In the New Testament, we get to pick our God, and there is a wide variety from which to choose.

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”
