TEA AND ZEN - THREADS

I....Love makes no judgements its has no preferences II...Love does not wound us—only the belief that we stand apart from it does. Love itself never harms; it is our forgetting of love that aches. When I speak of Love, I don’t mean sentiment or preference. I’m pointing to the quiet, radiant presence at the heart of all things — the living intelligence that holds and moves through us, beyond grasping or control. It isn’t an emotion to chase, but a reality to remember...it is the organizing principle within every dimension.

I volunteer to sit with those who are dying—individuals without family or friends—at a few hospitals in Seattle. I offer a quiet, steady presence for those who might otherwise take their final steps alone. By the time I am asked to attend, they are usually in comfort care and appear unconscious, yet over time I have become acutely aware that something in them still meets me. Beneath the surface of the body, we enter a subtle field of consciousness together—a quiet, spacious awareness where presence is felt more than spoken. My role is not to fix or to guide, but simply to be with them: to listen, to hold silence, to offer warmth, dignity, and human companionship in the most vulnerable hours of life. I breathe with them, honor their stories, and help sustain a gentle field of peace as they transition. This work arises from love: a devotion to ensuring that no one leaves this world without being met, recognized, and held in compassion.

In this episode we explore how healing begins when we recognize our shared responsibility to one another and move beyond the wounds and the illusion of separateness that keep us in darkness.

No control. We have no control over outcomes of anything. No matter how hard we try, life unfolds according to its own mysterious intelligence. We may hold an intention, a vision, or a heartfelt desire for how something might turn out, but the actual unfolding is never in our hands. The river of life moves as it will. Our task is not to control its course, but to bring sincerity, clarity, and love to how we move within it. Intention is our offering. Outcome is grace.

This episode explores the tender practice of releasing the past—not to forget, but to be refined by it—and to reclaim presence, wholeness, and the unhurt love that underlies every story.

This episode traces the ego's final unravelling as a series of small, necessary deaths: the dissolution of identities, protective reflexes and old narratives. Blending neuroscience and contemplative insight, it explains how survival circuits react when consciousness shifts and how surrender engages the parasympathetic system to restore rest and repair. What feels like regression is actually completion—the nervous system releasing stored energy, the self reintegrating, and a steady presence emerging. Practical cues—breath, pause, and compassion—help the body remember that peace is possible. In the quiet between heartbeats a whisper calls you home, you are not broken you are becoming.

What you’ll find here is not teaching, but remembering — a returning to the stillness behind all sound.

My old teacher, Gurunath, once said: Anything not rooted in the soil of love flowers not. I have carried that truth for decades. I have come to see that the universe itself is the flowering of love — not metaphorically, but literally — that love is the creative impulse behind every atom, every breath, every birth and death. It is the field through which all form arises and to which all returns. When we think, speak, or act without love at the root, the universe withholds its blessing. The thing may sprout — it may even grow for a time — but it will not flower. For what is not born of love cannot endure, because it is out of alignment with the very fabric of existence. To live wisely is not to cease acting or speaking, but to root every thought, every word, every deed in love from its inception. To pause before creation — whether that creation is a sentence, a decision, or a gesture — and ask quietly: “Is this arising from love?” If it is not, let it rest. Let it compost in silence until love reclaims it. For only what is planted in the soil of love will flower in eternity.

This episode reflects on how Jesus' core teaching was radical love, compassion, and inclusion rather than division, hierarchy, or dogma. It ties Christ's message to a universal spiritual current found across religions — forgiveness, service, and the remembering of the divine within — and invites listeners to live that love in everyday life.
