Spirituality for Living

If you’re new here, seek and you will find…and subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!Imagine a life of gratitude? For what we are. For what we can do. For what we can experience. Would that be a selfish life? Why are we taught it is? Really the secret of gratitude isn’t a secret. [...]

Two subjects go together well: bonding and harmlessness. ‘Unity’ would be both topics as one word. What is called ‘love’ ultimately…unconditioned. I will discuss the conditions people labour under and perhaps why they arise and how we can own them in ourselves instead of being owned by them.
Internal focus. It doesn’t have to be created. [...]

The future is an assumption of linear advancement. It is a global advancement. Future is modeled thinking. Time flows in waves as does space.
“Global” is in the geometric sense. Consider a wave pattern, the preponderance of circles. The diagram of the golden mean and how it manifests, but you leave a legacy. The energy is [...]

What can be said about paradox? Literally everything, that is the essence of paradox. It is why seeking one truth, proclaiming there to be only one right path…well, it just never really works. There have been atheists who are more altruistic than the more religious types. Very materialist types that espouse a spiritual paradigm for [...]

What are the big attachments? Money is one and many find that no amount of money is enough. Is supposedly a good thing, but they make themselves miserable in the pursuit of money. Money isn’t evil but attachment to it is. Same is true of knowledge. Learning is a good thing, but there is a [...]

One paradox is that expectations are an interference with genuine practice…like meditation. One quote is: A true practitioner has an absence of expectation and doubt. -Lama Dodjum Dorjee. So we have this paradox, we are attempting to do something difficult, bring some clarity to the overactive mind. But we need to have that intention and [...]

Balance, the middle way, we hope to list toward it. At times it seems that we do not, often because we fear we are wrong. Like fumbling for a needed object in the dark, we go too far one way or too far another and we think it’s all very hard. We really make it [...]

We have become very lazy expecting everything to be explained and researched for us. Science claims to have avoided metaphysical speculation and this is one of the major lies of science. It isn’t malicious, but it also isn’t true. They have put forth an irresponsible view that we can ignore the why and focus only [...]

I’ve been asked to describe a normal day of mine, or rather abnormal? My day actually starts in my night. I have some unusual conditions I deal with so taking a Taoist view helps me accept “my way” in life, since I can’t implement “common sense”. I’m autistic among other things. I always dream lucidly. [...]

Many people in life strive for perfection which can be any loosely defined notion. The very word itself is heavily loaded. Some believe that personal perfection is impossible to attain. They see it as an impossible state, but can perfection be considered any fixed form? If so then why does the universe itself seemed to [...]

Certainty, as most people espouse it is fear based, but clarity is not paranoia and we cannot create clarity. We can only see clearly, and that is possible partially in those moments of surrender. We are not the way of the world, the way of the world is in us. When we see that unity, that [...]
