About RRCANNA™
RRCANNA is not the least bit organized.
Devoid of dogma or doctrine, RRCANNA emphasizes a personal code of honor, a personal sense of humor, and taking personal responsibility for one's own actions and their consequences.
Donny has been accused of being an anarchist. Well, OK. I prefer "Iconoclast."
The following generalities are not Rules. Feel free to argue, if your thoughts are your own.
I don't believe that there are metaphysical Judges who decide What People Deserve. RRCANNA has no gods. We lean toward the atheistic approach of Buddhism.
I believe that Life goes on.
I believe that all events, though seemingly random, are connected in a way that cannot be understood in the present reality.
I believe that so-called Creation, like God, cannot be understood, and that attempts to understand the concepts of Creation and God are pointless. I revere scientific inquiry. Science can be another avenue to At-One-Ment with That Which We Call God.
I believe that religions and religious leaders, for the most part, are full of baloney.
There have been Great men and women who have had Great things to say. There still are. Choose your gurus carefully; you don't really need them, and in some instances they have done great harm. If you go through Life memorizing and repeating other peoples' observations, making none of your own, you are limiting yourself.
Human beings are basically herd animals who seek the company of other human beings, and who follow the leader. Occasionally, one takes a different path, and...always...others follow. This is called Growth...don't be afraid of it.
Ram Dass said, "Be here, now."
Thich Nhat Hanh said, "The present moment is where life can be found."
To certain fanatic fundamentalists calling themselves Christians, I am a False Prophet, hell-bent and leading others astray. To liberal American Catholics, I am interesting. To most Buddhists and Bahai's, I am a brother. To most of the people of the world, I am "Who? Never heard of him."
Partnered with you, we are the Rock & Roll Church of All Nations.
If you would like to be a "member" of RRCANNA, all you have to do is say that you are. You don't even have to tell me about it, but I hope that you will.
We don't have any furniture, a building to put it in, or even an office, and we are not asking you to help us acquire those things. We don't have a list of members. We haven't had any meetings. I have no ulterior motives. I'm not going to get a bad haircut, go on TV, cry, and plead for your money.
God (whatever you perceive that to be) loves you, and I love you. Help me teach a new way!
My VERY BEST REGARDS to you ALL,
