when you are doing the right thing, for the right reasons, the right people will enter your life at exactly the right time.


“The original instructions direct that we who walk about the earth are to express a great respect and affection and a gratitude toward all the spirits that create and support life. We give a greeting and thanksgiving to the many supporters of our own lives – the plants, the animals, the water, the air, and the sun. When people cease to respect and express gratitude for these many things, then all life will be destroyed, and human life on this planet will come to anend.”
John Mohawk, Ha-de-no-sau-nee.
That is so Buddhistic--Buddhism teaches the same respect and awareness that everything is interdependent...nothing exists separate from the existence of everything else...we must be aware and appreciative.

The christofascism rampant in the US today is perfectly and willfully unaware of this fundamental truth of life.


Real truth--true spiritual teachings -- explain how life works. Obedience to scary authoritarians standing in for punishing judgmental deities is NOT a spiritual teaching.
