Summary of Ordinary Life for February 11, 2024

Dear Ones -

I have so much energy and enthusiasm about the theme I am pursuing in Ordinary Life -

Living in The Sacred Stream

This week I began with a statement about how I am currenting seeing these times together. We are trying to turn information into transformation. The illusion we are under is that we can figure this all out. We can only do so provisionally because we are not now who we were nor are we now who we will be.

In both spiritual and religious prophetic and mystical teachings, there is nothing to hold on to. This week I focused on the spiritual side of this and began by raising the question of why the Buddha got to live into old age while Jesus was executed at an age younger than most who are reading this. There are many valid answers to this but Buddha didn’t challenge and change people’s self-identity the way that Jesus did.

In searching for things to hold on to we begin with the perennial tradition. This tradition isn’t something new but a rediscovery of what has always and will always be true. I list a few of the things we can hold on to beginning with the fact that all reality is one. I called the talk -

What To Hold On To When There Is Nothing To Hold On To

That’s a brief summary of this week’s time in Ordinary Life.
