all moments

Are all moments acceptable?

They are,

but you don’t have to accept them?

Or do you?

Is it that the moment has to pass before

anything can happen?

Or is it that the moment never moves

and stuff passes through it?

Does time allow stuff to exist?

shielded

Is it that each individual is responsible for his or her own adventure toward the mystery and every path to it is different even though the starting point and ending point are the same for everyone?

Do all of us already carry around within us the truest, the most valuable of religions: the mystery, but are shielded from it by our own identities and the continual use of language?

Is it that no…

attitude

We constantly fill our present moments with language by thinking, speaking, listening and reading. There are exceptions like noticing the dramatic moments in sports, coming upon a magnificent vista rounding curve or corner, etc.

We are trapped in thoughts which is normal for us. If we can stop our habitual use of language for a good length of time, we will become more and more aware of the…

not thinking

Is it that if we are not thinking…

we identities don’t exist?

Is this why sports has a such a draw, especially for the participants…

When we are not thinking, are we not? If so…

Are we then the human animal and nothing more?

the thing which makes the room

the thing which makes the room

Are past and future real and not real at the same time? Not real because they are ideas but real because they take up actual time in the present thinking about them. It is their setting that makes them real, their stage, the present. Is it that the past and future can only inhabit the present?

Are the last moment and the next moment always established on the thin sides of the present? Is the…

the sad-go-round

The mind is usually begging, and its desire cannot be satisfied. The mind becomes sad because because all of its desires cannot be fulfilled so it automatically creates more and more desires.

Society teaches: Instead of taking, learn the talent of giving, but even then, folks become sad because they can’t give more.

To end this sad-go-round, the sages say one should accept whatever is the…

any other place

Is life a series of gettings and givings? And a series made up of refusals and grantings?  Can one give oneself the gift of more time by becoming more aware, by taking more notice on purpose? If so, why isn’t this normal?

Is it that when I’m thinking, I’m distracted from what’s going on around me? To observe deeply must I be silent?

How to spend time? Is now the only time to do what needs to be…

meditation

Is there a secret to living a satisfying life? There is no one secret. There are several simultaneous practices that lead to having a satisfying life.  Almost all counselors and doctors out there are yelling that meditation eliminates or takes the edge off of things that keep us unsatisfied.

Many of us continue to ignore this wise advice about this powerful one-of-a-kind tool. Among them are the…

more oneliners

Are we the totality of our choices?

Is innovation a type of art?

Why visit a library?

Did we all come from salty water?

Is storytelling the most powerful art?

Should we admit to the power of studying history?

Is history always beginning and never ends?

Is connecting with others the dessert of life?

Do everyday moments reflects our true selves?

One liners (author unknown)

One liners (author unknown)

1. I asked God for a bike, but I know God doesn’t work that way. So I stole a bike and asked for forgiveness. 2. Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience. 3. I want to die peacefully in my sleep, like my grandfather.. Not screaming and yelling like the passengers in his car. 4. Sex is not the answer. Sex is the question. “Yes” is the answer. 5.…

what is the path

what is the path

What is the path we should take to become enlightened? Here is a summary of what the sages say:

The sages say we should begin the process of finding a way to totally accept the way we are: how we think and how we appear. This is basic and is the first step. The second and last step is to totally accept existence as it iswhich includes all creatures including humans and the condition of our…

waiting 



Does life never wait? Life charges ahead and survives or not. So, should we wait? Waiting is allowed as a strategy. And procrastination is something else.

meditation & mindfulness



A function is defined as a natural activity or purpose for a person or thing.

Is meditation a function between one’s identity (one’s ego) and its human body (its being) and mindfulness a function between one’s awareness and the rest of the universe?

spiff you up (a sermon)

spiff you up (a sermon)

Is it that no group should be allowed to force their religious lifestyle rules upon those who are not members of their group?

Some want to force entire societies by passing laws based on their religious beliefs. Are they wanting to force folks instead of appealing to their hearts and minds?

Trying to force others to live under religious beliefs and rules which are not their own is shortsighted…

everyone’s helpmate

There are various ways humans can become rich. Is there a richness that soars above all others? Is it the richness that is felt when one feels in tune with everything that exists? That wholeness and completeness and oneness.

Is nature the greatest form of expression? Is nature everyone’s helpmate and richness but only a few experience it?

short stuff

Is there no time to lose?

If it can’t be measured it, does it exist?

Is cheap not always the most expensive?

Is there no meaning in life unless we create it?

Why do we feel separate when we aren’t?

Why should the fear of striking out keep us from playing?

Why does knowing where one is going attract folks?

Why ask “What is the worst thing that can happen?”

Does being defensive bring into question…
