I don't really believe in plotting a course. I actually think that most will be "saved" (call it what you will, imagine it how you like) in spite of their beliefs rather than because of them. No-calculation. Let reality surprise me. But...

You and I are following the same path. I haven't owned a TV or radio in 10 yrs and I don't read newspapers. I listen to music that I, myself have hand picked and uploaded to my playlist. You are correct in saying that a lot of useless noise has stopped. Inner Peace is powerful.

Definitely. We can look down the road but we can't see around the corners. There's always surprises. And most of them are pleasant. It's so nice to have frequent feelings of impending good. Lol

I agree, with everything you have expressed. 😊

@ShadowWorker Yes, maybe getting a balance. The Pure Land "way" really gets along without being a way at all. Things are "made to become so of themselves" beyond our calculation. Faith (Japanese "shinjin") is "salvation" itself, not a means to salvation.

Whether going to the Pure Land

All is in Amida's hands

The pure Trust that all shall be well is everything.

Nevertheless, some choices remain to be made. It is a learning curve.

Very good that you are learning to be centered. I need to improve on this myself
