If you look closely at the water it will move for you. It is an optical illusion, of course and. How much of our life is? How much of what we think is so is not so? If we say something about anything, anyone, and what we have said says more about us than itContinue reading “March 31, 2026”

Understanding “projection,” not as a psychological defense mechanism where by we imagine others to be as we are, and see in them characteristics that are actually true of us, but as a tendency we have to project our bias regarding an entire class of people as being true of those people. Racism is a whiteContinue reading “March 27, 2026”

Psyche is known best via intuition and dreams (Both nighttime dreams and day dreams). Psyche makes herself known to us in these ways, and becomes known herself. What has always been referred to as “the presence of God” is exactly the same thing as “the presence of Psyche.” I prefer “Psyche” to “God” because thereContinue reading “March 24, 2026”

Enthusiasm and vitality are not constant, regular, daily experiences. Boredom, ennui and monotony are much more reliable and frequent occurrences. And that’s a problem because we are addicted to the rush of wonder and delight, to the point of artificial applications of highs from a bottle or a pill. We will do anything to feelContinue reading “March 04, 2025”

It comes down to our relationship with Psyche and with Intuition, and they may be the same thing. How can we deepen, enhance, expand, enlarge our relationship with, awareness of, Psyche and Intuition? That is the only thing that matters in the time left for living. Reflecting in emptiness, stillness and silence will help. TakingContinue reading “March 03, 2026”

I am a strong believer in trance states. Self-induced trance-states. Looking out the window. Drifting off into wool-gathering or taking a walk-a-bout to nowhere in particular. Not going anywhere and not being here, now at the same time. Aware only of what occurs to me/you, to what appears out of the mists, to catch ourContinue reading “February 27, 2026”

We know things we don’t know how we know. If we sit quietly without thinking but being aware of the things that come to mind “out of nowhere” and following the things that have an attraction about them, we will come into realization “like a bolt from the blue.” And we will not have thoughtContinue reading “February 26-B, 2026”

The phrase, “after a certain age,” is one that is used frequently in doctors’ offices after a certain age. It means “these things can be expected,” “this symptom is not unusual,” “don’t let it bother you”… Those Who Know Best don’t talk to you that way in your 40’s and 50’s, but by your mid-seventies,Continue reading “January 30, 2026”

There is what we do to live, and there is what we live to do. Occasionally these may be the same thing. There are artists who support themselves with their art, and musicians who make a living with their music. Most of us do what we love by paying the bills doing what we don’tContinue reading “January 24, 2026”

A Philosophy of Health by Jim Dollar A healthy lifestyle is more than eating well and exercising. It includes how we set limits, draw lines, establish boundaries—and bear the pain of living within the within the environment of everybody else on the planet doing the same thing. The way we live has implications for usContinue reading “January 16, 2026”
