We are the source of everything that isn’t a rock or a tree. Including God. We made it all up, right out of our own Psyche/imagination. We told ourselves stories that scared us into making up other stories to calm us down. Hate, anger, fear and greed are the origin of most of our problemsContinue reading “September 19, 2025”

We are all that stands between us and the Void.That being the case, we might think we would be doing a better job laying a foundation with ourselves that will allow us to deal with what’s coming up, instead of looking the other way and hoping for the best. If the best were in play,Continue reading “September 18, 2025”

The relationship between the flow of life and emptiness, stillness, silence is “right there,” for all of us to experience any time.The place of silence (emptiness and stillness) in the life of the species from the beginning of consciousness until now is a topic I would like to have explored by those in position toContinue reading “September 05, 2025”

I’m thinking Psyche is something all life shares/has in common. All living things are one in this way. Consciousness is more or less aware of that connection. Emptiness/stillness/silence (one thing not three), or meditation/reflection, enhances/deepens/expands that connection, and we work together in the service of what is called for here, now, for the mutual goodContinue reading “August 21, 2025”

Each situation has its own direction and flow that has to be recognized and taken into account. Forcing action that is not conducive to the situation as a whole creates a disturbance in the flow that has impact and implications for the balance and harmony and wellbeing of the here, now and the not yetContinue reading “August 16, 2025”

We are capable of things we cannot imagine simply by relaxing into ourselves and opening ourselves up to each situation as it arises, allowing the situation to call us forth in the service of what is called for here, now. The old Taoist ideal of doing the right thing, in the right place, at theContinue reading “August 15, 2025”

This adventure of writing a daly reflection has opened before me as an exploration of myself and our (corporate/universal) need for this kind of exploration/realization/awakening/ enlightenment worldwide. Everything will do that if we let it.Everything is a portal, a port-key, a threshold to ourselves if we have the courage/luck to see what we look at,Continue reading “July 21, 2025”

This is the most bleak Fourth of July in my experience, and this is my 81st experience. The Constitution is out of vogue. The Bill of Rights is a laughter. The majority of the Supreme Court asks Trump how he wants them to vote. We have a king on his throne in the White House.Continue reading “July 04, 2025”

Silence steadies us and stabilizes us, grounds us and points the way. When Jesus said, “Pray always,” he was saying “Live out of the silence.” The silence is also emptiness and stillness. The three are one, like the Holy Trinity, and they connect us with all that is holy, and lead us to living livesContinue reading “July 01, 2025”

The best thing we can do for ourselvesis to be quiet in a routine and regular way.When Jesus said, “Pray always,” he meant, “Live out of the silence.”In the silence, we are in the presence of What Has Always Been Called “God.” The silence is the bridge between worlds–the world of conscious reality and theContinue reading “July, 2025”

Making a montage of the wisdom outlets of history produces a “single story” of what it takes to “right the world” over the course of several lifetimes. The elements required read like a spiritual recipe for “the right life.”High on the list are integrity, sincerity, authenticity, but I find the most revered quality is beingContinue reading “June 23, 2025”

Finding our niche and our schtick and our hangouts is finding ourselves. Which makes me easy to locate. I stand out like a snag on a mountain ridge. I am peculiar that way. And not particularly accessible, which is the driving idea.On the other hand, I’m eager to talk to anyone about the things IContinue reading “June 09, 2025”
