Kuan Yin’s I Ching Reading – Oct. – Nov. 2011

We are receiving help during this time of transition from Kuan Yin, the Goddess of Compassion, who is guiding us through the I Ching, an ancient Chinese text that follows and predicts movements and energy flow in the cosmos. Her advice as always, is direct and to the point!

“Let us use the analogy that describes this period of time in America to a series of freeways that you have the opportunity to travel on – or not, depending on what you choose…

The first freeway is heading towards the I Ching energy of Hexagram #12 STAGNATION. The odd thing about this freeway is that everyone on it is traveling at a frenzied pace.

The second is the freeway that’s moving in the flow of Hexagram #23 DETERIORATION. As one might guess, those who are traveling on this freeway are experiencing a lot of things in their life and work falling apart.

The third freeway is transitioning from the flow of RESOLUTION (Hexagram #43) into Hexagram #15 MODERATION.

The ancient Chinese text description of MODERATION can be compared to the modern meme “Everything in moderation” and it’s basic advice is:

“You should now concentrate upon establishing a harmonious equilibrium with your fellow man and bring MODERATION and order to social institutions. This not only means avoiding radicalism and ostentatious values but also tolerating weaknesses and inferior elements… Do not indulge in extremes of any sort, and instead strive for MODERATION in all that you do.”
~ The I Ching Workbook, R.L. Wing

Finding the Road to Moderation

“Generally speaking, MODERATION is the more advantageous flow to follow, however that can be difficult when so many extremes and endings are coming together. Karma that is ready to be triggered is very abundant because endings are like that. Many Soul contracts have been completed or need to be released because you are getting ready for a whole new way of being.

To assist you and make your lives a bit easier, I suggest that you let go of any karmic agreement that is complete – over and done with or that is causing you harm in any way. Do this with your family, friends, organizations you have been involved with, business acquaintances, completed projects, where you are living, modes of transportation, communication issues, etc. By doing so you will free up a lot of mind power that is still caught up in the past. You need all of the presence you can muster to help you during times such as these.

Letting Go So You Can Be Present

Use this Soul Contract Circle to help you identify and release the agreements. Simply gaze softly at the Circle while you use the affirmations. It can be helpful to imagine the agreements burning up into ashes as you go through this process.

“I let go of anything that is finished and done with.”

“I let go of anything that is causing me harm.”

There are a couple of other syndromes that might be making it hard for you to find and stay on the road to MODERATION, so we can include them here:

#1: The 24/7 syndrome.

For example, ‘I should be able to do everything and be on top of everything’.

“I release my agreement to be in a hurry.”
“I let go of the pressure I put on myself.”

“I release any agreement I have to overbook myself.”

“My new agreement is that it’s okay to relax.”
“I can catch my breath.”

#2: The ‘if some is good, more is better’ syndrome.

For example: The Sun is good, however too much Sun causes cancer. Butter is good, yet too much butter causes cholesterol, etc.

“I let go of extremes and over-indulgent behavior.”
“I now create balance and moderation in my life.”

It’s always helpful to release old agreements that are complete or need to be let go of, especially at times of endings and beginnings.

For some people, the end of this cycle signifies an opportunity to go within and expel deep patterns of fanaticism within their psyche so that they can evolve and emerge from that pattern, much as a beautiful lotus emerges from the muck and mire at the bottom of a pond.”

Letting Go of Deteriorating Situations

Many people are having a difficult time staying grounded and clear in the New Paradigm because they are still “tuning in” to the Old Paradigm. You can easily get centered and remedy this situation by going through this I Ching game that Kuan Yin has given us for letting go and moving on.

“If you are experiencing a situation where there is a great deal of incompetence, argumentative persons, a break up in friendship or family relations, refusal to participate in cooperative ventures or poor health due to a toxic environment – this situation is definitely in the flow of the I Ching Hexagram #23 – DETERIORATION.

In cases such as these, forceful displays of power will absolutely backfire. Do nothing to advance your positions in regard to this particular situation and be very conservative with any investment of time or money. Doing so would probably result in loss.

The best thing to do when dealing with DETERIORATING situations is to take care of yourself very sensibly and to find acceptance of the times within yourself. Be generous and kind to those you care about.

Meditate, surrender to the fact that all things must end. Know that eventually there will come a change for the better.

If you deal with a situation of DETERIORATION with an attitude of “I’m going to fix this” or “I’m going to change how this person is thinking/behaving”, you will actually be giving the situation more fuel, rather than just letting it die out on it’s own as it would naturally. Keep interference to a minimum.

Here is some help through an Intuitive Learning Game called Letting Go.”

Gently gaze at these Circles one at a time and consider the question or affirmation that goes with each Step. This process helps you to become aware of what’s bothering you, so that you can make a different choice to use your energy more productively and in tune with your Inner Guidance.

 Step 1:

What is a situation around you now that is in the flow of DETERIORATION? Trust the message that comes through from your deepest, wisest guidance.

Step 2:

What is the emotion that tends to pull you into that energy?

Once you have identified what you’re feeling, take a moment and just relax into it.

“I accept that this emotion is present and that it must change.”

The more you relax and accept, the faster and easier it will dissipate.

Step 3:

Allow yourself to connect with the wisdom and power of your Soul.

Continue to relax and breathe as you use this affirmation:

“I am centered in the energy of my Soul.”

Step 4:

Now you can get present. You can use this affirmation to help you:

“I live in the present.”

If you are having trouble getting present, it can help to open and close your fingers. If you are feeling a strong emotion come up, go back to Step #2 and repeat the process of relaxing and dissipating the emotion.

Step 5:

Now that you are present, ask your deepest wisest guidance:
“What is an action I can take that will help me?”

Take as much time as you need to reorganize your thoughts and energy around positive action.

Step 6:

Continue to strengthen yourself by gazing softly at this Circle. Consciously let go of issues that are not your problem. It may help to visualize them as balloons that are floating back to whoever  or wherever they belong.

Step 7: Finish the game with these positive affirmations:

“I let go of the ways I prolong or maintain suffering for myself or anyone else.”

“I turn all my energy towards productive, constructive thoughts and activities.”

Congratulations!

Having the faith that you don’t need to be in control of a DETERIORATING situation is a big help in coming to terms with change and making the best of it.

An Abrupt Change in Momentum

On the 12th and 13th of April, 2010 we went through a significant transition in America through the I Ching Energy of Hexagram #2 NATURAL RESPONSE.

Since the 13th, we have gone through multiple Hexagrams, which is very unusual. We have just moved out of Hexagram #26 Potential Energy and are now in #9 RESTRAINED. What does that mean?

Kuan Yin has compared this period of time to a white water rafting trip and at this particular stage it feels as if some things that were moving quickly with a lot of potential energy have suddenly slowed way down.  The ancient Chinese described the Hexagram of RESTRAINED as “Dense clouds, no rain.”

I have promised to keep you informed as much as possible and Kuan Yin has some more advice to help us make the adjustments that are required to effectively handle this kind of change in momentum…

Feng Shui To Raise the Vibration

Here is a feng shui remedy that Kuan Yin shared with me to help raise the vibration in my home as these unpredictable energy shifts continue into May.

In times where there is a lot of instability in the general energy level, it’s good to apply remedies that will help to balance things out. I was guided to plant some yarrow in the front yard, which will bring increased emotional balance and to place a piece of selenium nearby which has the ability to repel negative energies.

As soon as I set them out properly, I felt a huge sigh of relief go through me and the vibration in my home returned to its normal level. If you are an emotional type, I highly recommend this remedy.

Kuan Yin’s I Ching Reading – Heading Into May

We are receiving help from Kuan Yin, the Goddess of Compassion, who is guiding us through the I Ching, an ancient Chinese text that follows and predicts movements and energy flow in the cosmos. Her advice as always, is direct and to the point.

“The text for the I Ching energy of Hexagram #9 RESTRAINED states:

“Nothing can be done externally…work on the Self. Refine your impulses and desires.”

~ The I Ching Workbook by R. L. Wing (Doubleday)

This is the unchanging line, so that means that there is an external blockage that will eventually move on it’s own accord. However, nothing that one might try to move it forcefully will work.

The Importance of Working with the Flow

Remember, there are certain activities that do better when the energy of the Cosmos is flowing in certain ways. In periods when the I Ching energy is RESTRAINED, grand schemes are out of the question. It is a good time to look very closely at any opinions or beliefs that you hold that might be causing trouble from behind the scenes. Look especially closely at conflicts that may surface during this time.

In general, it is to your best advantage to wait out what may seem like a very unfulfilling situation by going within and looking closely at your current projects and activities to review them and make adjustments if necessary.

How will you know if something needs to be adjusted? Here is one suggestion:

Make a list of important activities that you plan to achieve over the next week or so. Go through them one at a time while you check in with your Highest Guidance through the Circle below.

Ask these three simple questions about the activity and you will know if an adjustment is needed.

Question #1 ~
“What am I doing?”

Question #2 ~
“How will it help?”

Question #3 ~
“Am I pushing?”

If you are unclear or get an unfavorable answer, it is for either one of these two reasons:

1) This particular activity is being blocked externally and you would do better to wait for a more auspicious time.  To find out ask, “Is the problem the timing?” If the answer is ‘yes’, pull back. If you can RESTRAIN yourself from pushing forward, especially when the time isn’t right, you can avoid costly mistakes. Allow the Universe to work for you.

The other possibility is:

2) The activity needs an adjustment from within.
Ask,  ‘Is an adjustment needed from within?”

If that is the case, it would be wise to closely examine your opinions and beliefs with the help of your Inner Wisdom.”

Moving Through the Chaos

On the 12th and 13th of this week we went through a significant transition in America  through the I Ching Energy of Hexagram #2 NATURAL RESPONSE.

Since Tuesday evening alone, we have already gone through two other hexagrams (#49 CHANGING and #18 REPAIR) and are briefly under the influence of Hexagram #42 BENEFIT. Kuan Yin likens this period to white water rafting and warns that there will continue to be frequent and unexpected shifts of energy. The shifts are furious and it’s a good thing she recommended that we remain calm and centered.

Here is another short message that she would like me to share…

How to Benefit from Mass Changes

We are receiving help from Kuan Yin, the Goddess of Compassion, who is guiding us through the I Ching, an ancient Chinese text that follows and predicts movements and energy flow in the cosmos. Her advice as always, is direct and to the point.

The text for the I Ching energy of Hexagram #42 BENEFIT states:

“Exceptional energy is being directed into the current situation. Many things will become possible, even very difficult undertakings. It is important to make the best use of your time now, as conditions will change… Because of the benevolent forces surrounding you, you are presented with an excellent opportunity for self-improvement.

The changing line states that:

“Success is yours if your goal is worthwhile and can BENEFIT others.”

If you can utilize this Hexagram properly, the flow of energy will move into Hexagram #20 CONTEMPLATING and this will be the energy available to be used for your highest BENEFIT:

“By CONTEMPLATING the cosmic laws and their effects on both your life and the lives of others, you can gain an insight into the unfolding pattern of events. This perspective is extremely powerful, and the gifted individual can use it to master him (her) self and his environment.”

~ The I Ching Workbook by R. L. Wing (Doubleday)

The Importance of Working Together With the Flow

Why is it important to be aware of the I Ching flow?

Because there are certain activities that do better when the energy of the Cosmos is flowing in certain ways.

For example, if the flow of the cosmos is in the Hexagram of RETREAT as it was two weeks ago, it would be a poor time to start a business, launch a campaign or announce an important event. A better choice of activity in that case would be cleaning out the garage or reviewing business plans to weed out ineffective activities.

In the current Hexagram BENEFIT, the energy supports activities that create positive seeds for the future. If after that, you have the advantage of Hexagram CONTEMPLATING, you will have an opportunity to CONTEMPLATE how you can best nourish those seeds and put them into action.

Use this Circle to BENEFIT You

So, in the spirit of working together to move effectively through this time, take just a few minutes to ask yourself:

‘What are some things I could plant the seeds for or send energy to that would really help me or others in the future?

Your answer(s) to that question cold mark the beginning of a progressive new era. Whether you decide to follow through, of course, is another question.

However, whatever you consciously create or nourish at this time will receive the extra boost of positive energy that comes from BENEFIT.”

Welcome to Part Two of Kuan Yin’s I Ching Reading ~

Last week we dealt with many of the chaotic energies having to do with family, partnerships and other close relationships. We came to the conclusion that RETREATING by going within and accessing freedom was the best way to respond to some very difficult news and events.

On Monday, April 12th, the I Ching Energy moves into Hexagram #2 NATURAL RESPONSE for just two days. Kuan Yin will give us a short I Ching Reading for this energy and shares an healing meditation to help us to lovingly hand over the anxiety, grief and feelings of resentment that we may be feeling at this transitive time.

We are receiving help from Kuan Yin, the Goddess of Compassion, who is guiding us through the I Ching, an ancient Chinese text that follows and predicts movements and energy flow in the cosmos. Her advice as always, is direct and to the point.

The I Ching energy for the United States through April 13th is Hexagram #2 NATURAL RESPONSE. The actual text states:

“The yielding and responsive quality of nature is the focus of this time. Nature follows with sensitivity the demands of the seasons, It reproduces, adapts, and evolves itself appropriately; it heals itself when injured and deftly maintains a balanced economy. Nature is the responsive, yielding background for all events on earth. The power of this time lies in reacting with a NATURAL RESPONSE to the myriad things around you, a response in keeping with the laws of nature.

At this time you are dealing with realities rather than potentials. You can know only the situation around you but not the forces behind it. Therefore you should not act independently or try to lead others. If you do, you will lose the way and become confused…you need friends and helpers to accomplish your aims. If you can accept this you will find guidance. Once you respond naturally and allow yourself to be led, even the greatest goals can be attained.”

~ The I Ching Workbook by R. L. Wing (Doubleday)

Kuan Yin’s Comments and a Healing Exercise

“There are times when the I Ching flow requires for humans to be as calm and still as possible. The NATURAL RESPONSE to this short influx of powerful energy is to remain centered within yourself and to refrain from taking aggressive action or pushing your own agenda.

The ideal of feminine receptivity is a good model to follow. There is much going on and it’s better to lay low. A time for renewed activity and advancement is coming soon, however, for now go within, meditate and pray for the end of fear.

To help you release the dominant pattern of fear that is still left over from the Old Paradigm, go through this short healing process.”

Pray for the End of Fear

Kuan Yin, the Goddess of Compassion

is helping us through these difficult times with advice and energy readings based on the I Ching, an ancient Chinese text that follows and predicts movements and energy flow in the cosmos.

The I Ching energy for the United States through March 20th is Hexagram #27 NOURISHING. However, the advice that is given can be useful at any time, for anyone seeking to make positive improvements in their lives:
“Exercise unrelenting discipline over your thought patterns. Cultivate only productive productive opinions and attitudes in order to properly nourish your character. If you are engaged in activity at this time, keep your mind as calm and relaxed as possible.” ~ The I Ching Workbook by R. L. Wing (Doubleday)

Nourishing Your Journey Into the New Paradigm

“Unfortunately, it can be difficult to keep a calm and relaxed mind when ingrained behavior patterns from the past are still being held in the collective mindset of your culture. Most people will say that they want to move forward towards peaceful prosperity, yet there are so few models in your media and social systems, everyone wonders, “how is that going to happen”?

It was only a little over a year ago when the U.S. was unified by the desire for change. Now many are frustrated and disappointed. Others are turning back in droves, looking for the false security that was fostered by the Old Paradigm. This split is being NOURISHED by the status quo with a negative tendency that still pulls at you – impatience.

As consummate consumers, America has been taught to jump from one method to another. If results are not immediate, it’s time to drop it and go out shopping for another method. They are looking for a easy and fast fix for some very old problems and they want it now.

Let us help you clarify what is required to pull you out of the quagmire and get you back on the road to living in the New Paradigm.

Making Choices that Support Happiness

Choice # One: Be Willing to be Open to New Methods and Ways of Operating

This is the first step and an important one. What ever you are willing to NOURISH within yourself is going to determine where you are heading at this time. If you are searching for and finding new methods to develop your own good qualities and are sharing them with others, you are feeding a willingness to align with the New Paradigm. What you must remember about this is that it is far better to make small steps in the right direction than it is to make dramatic, ego gratifying steps in the wrong direction.

Use this symbol for integrating positive, healthy energy to help you determine where you are in regards to WILLINGNESS.

Ask yourself these questions while looking at the symbol:

“Am I willing to try something new in order to live a happier life? If not, why not?”

“Do I still believe that fighting and struggle is the only way to create what I want?”

“If so, am I WILLING to change my mind?”

Choice #2: Have the Courage to Stick with the New Methods You Choose Long Enough To See if They Are Working for You

Results don’t happen overnight and if you are constantly changing course – going from one method to the next – you are actually hampering your own progress.

Many people think that impatience is a good way to get things accomplished and unfortunately for them, the exact opposite is true. Patience is a great virtue to NOURISH in yourself. A change of this magnitude (our Paradigm Shift) has to be taken step by step to effectively monitor how things are coming together. Courage is the motivator for the greatest changes in your history, and now is no different.

Use this symbol for COURAGE to see what kind of energy you are using to motivate you.

“Am I utilizing courage or fear when I face my daily challenges?”

“Am I being patient or impatient?”

“Am I willing to NOURISH patience and courage?”

If you are utilizing fear and impatience, realize that you will most likely give up on the possibilities for the future and turn back to the past looking for a safe and seemingly easier way to cope. This is an illusion. You can use this affirmation to help you:

“I release my dependence on fear and recommit to following the guidance of my spirit.”

Imagine that your fear is like a heavy old piece of luggage that you are still carrying around. See yourself dropping it and let it dissolve into nothingness.

Choice #3: Keep Choosing the Light, Rather Than the Dark.

The New Paradigm is based on the pure light of love and connectedness. If you are NOURISHING feelings of isolation or thinking only about yourself, gently redirect your attention towards people, attitudes and behaviors that support your better qualities.

How can you do that?

Use this symbol to fill yourself with light. Imagine that with every breath you are filling up your body with pure, white light. Doing this exercise will do more than most anything to help you get back on track. Remember, like attracts like, so if you are being the light, you will attract more of it.

“I am filled with the pure light of creation.”

“I release and dissolve the karmic pattern of using anger to get what I want.”

“I release karmic patterns from my mental continuum that would create terror in my mind or in the mind of anyone else.”

“I recommit to nourishing compassion and kindness for all beings, including myself.”

If you like, you can contemplate more specific behavior patterns that are causing you problems and dissolve them from your mental continuum now.

Even though you may not consciously be aware of what karmic pattern you are operating out of, this process will help you to release its grip on how you are responding to things in your life.

Kuan Yin’s I Ching Reading for August, 2009

We are receiving help from Kuan Yin, the Goddess of Compassion, who is guiding us through the I Ching, an ancient Chinese text that follows and predicts movements and energy flow in the cosmos. Her advice as always, is direct and to the point.

Currently we are moving through Hexagram #51 SHOCKING.  This is what she recommends…

“It is important that you accept the changing times and change with them. This means that certain habits and negative behaviors are bound to come to the surface over the next month and if you choose to put your head in the sand, you will miss one of the largest opportunities to heal your heart in this time of SHOCKING change.

Now is an opportune time to clear out confusing ideas and societal prejudices by going within and examining what is most important to you and make a firm determination to stay centered, even as chaotic forces are at their strongest.

Know that those who choose to use force or aggression to further their agendas will experience serious backlashes and setbacks during SHOCKING times. This is not the time to push ahead rashly, rather it is a time to step back and clarify your principles. Be certain that you are coming from a place of love and that you are clear about where your actions will lead you.

Preparing For A New Way of Manifesting

The Heavens have created an awesome moment to facilitate transformation and if you are wise, you will utilize it to it’s fullest. Rarely has there been the opportunity to shift your perception so easily as in this time. Take stock of the persons, places and things that bring you joy and consciously connect them like a diligent spider weaving a web of love. This will assist you in staying centered in the storm.

If you willingly follow and adapt your life according to those things that are naturally good, you will find that you can rid yourself of ancient abuses that have long sucked the spirit of humanity dry. In the wake of SHOCKING times, there is much progress that can be made.”

Go through Kuan Yin’s “Realignment for a New Paradigm” to facilitate her advice.

Rheanni Lightwater © 2009

As you recall, Kuan Yin, the Goddess of Compassion is helping us through these difficult times with advice, divinations and energy readings based on the I Ching, an ancient Chinese text that follows and predicts movements and energy flow in the cosmos. Her advice as always, is direct and to the point.

Currently we are in transition between Hexagram #23 DETERIORATION (Splitting Apart) and Hexagram #2 NATURAL RESPONSE (The Receptive).  This is what she has to say…

“The forces of DETERIORATION have exhausted themselves in their grab for power. Over the last few months, in America, the energies of deterioration have been working on overdrive. Communities are suffering the effects of a deteriorating electro-magnetic field that your old way of life depended upon.

If you have been putting your attention on those things that are not working, life is probably very frightening to you.

We would suggest that it is much wiser to focus your attention on those things that are working and make a concerted effort to link them together in order to create a new electro-magnetic field. In that way, you are saving valuable effort that might be wasted on projects or infrastructures that have no hope of surviving the major environmental changes that are happening now.

Look around you and notice the businesses that are doing well. Notice the businesses that have not considered the importance of community and sustainability are falling like dinosaurs, for in a sense, that is what they are and no amount of money will resurrect them.”

Feng Shui Advice

“Do whatever you can to consolidate and simplify your lifestyle. In terms of feng shui the times dictate the necessity of simplicity in design. Reduce your accumulations.

We have asked Rheanni to disassemble all of the placement of objects in her home and we recommend that you do the same.

If you have family heirlooms or sacred objects, it is time to bring them down and let them rest. At the same time you would be wise to sort through and see if they are still bringing joy to you. If not, release them. If you hold on to objects that hold negativity or old patterns from the past at this time, it will have a very negative affect on your ability to adapt and move forward in your endeavors.

Changes will be coming fast over the next few years and the less you burden yourselves with accumulations, the easier it will be for you.

Do not stand like a museum – filled with monuments to the past, focus your attention instead on what you can do to help each other and use your resources wisely for the common good.

Once you have gone through the sorting process, you may choose to put some sacred objects up again. However, don’t be surprised if they are much fewer in number and want to be placed differently.”

Let Your Rooms Breathe and Receive

“The ego gets very attached to certain objects and even though you know in your heart that it would be better for you to let go, this part of your mind continues to grip to your detriment.

Many people are suffering unnecessary physical and emotional ailments at this time because they have not thought to clear their environment. You can think of it this way – your emotional, physical life is like a room with closets filled to the brim with things that you don’t use anymore and have completely forgotten about. There may be plenty of grand things waiting to enter, yet it cannot be because there is no room available to take them in.

Clear out your closets and rearrange your space. Make room to receive the new energy that is available to you.”

Advice for the Feng Shui Practitioner

“There are many practitioners, like Rheanni, who are working with specific energy fields and grids that support the return of the Sacred Feminine. These will need to be reset and adjusted to accomodate the incoming energy fluctuations. If you cling to what has worked before, and refuse to change, the effectiveness of your good works will be hampered.”

Feng Shui Practitioner – Heal Thyself

I took Kuan Yin’s suggestion and took everything down in every room of my home. It was quite a challenge for me because nearly every picture or object I still own has a sacred significance for me.

Way back in some closets, I came upon some family hand me downs that I hadn’t thought about in quite a while. I knew that they were emitting negative energy because I could feel it, yet I could still hear the excuses my ego was making to keep them around.

Finally, Kuan Yin suggested that I play her Simplicity Game with those objects in mind. What I found was very amazing to me. I lost the desire to hold on to those things and could finally get myself motivated to remove them. Once I did that, a tremendous surge of progressive energy moved through the house, releasing a lot of negative thought forms that I was unaware of.

The house feels lighter, our minds are quieter and business has improved. Yes, less is indeed more.

As you recall, Kuan Yin, the Goddess of Compassion is helping us through these difficult times with advice, divinations and energy readings based on the I Ching, an ancient Chinese text that follows and predicts movements and energy flow in the cosmos. Her advice as always, is direct and to the point. Let’s see what she has to say this month…

“American society has interesting and conflicting views about the Truth. You say, “the Truth shall set you free” and yet your actions often belie the statement.

The fear of the Truth is the subject of our reading and the Hexagram from the I Ching that conveys the energy of the cosmos at this time is #35 Progress. We are moving out of Hexagram #23 Deterioration where major aspects of your society have come face to face with defeat, yet that is not necessarily a bad thing.

If you have been paying attention to the media and believing that you have no options, you will disregard the underlying changes that have appeared for the better. If you, instead, will listen to the messages from your heart you will understand that indeed, Progress is being made.

Remember that the forward movement of humanity is not dependent upon false ideas about money and returning to the “good old days.” You know intuitively that the time for new answers is upon you.

Communication is the key and here I will quote from the I Ching Workbook by R. L. Wing:

“Communication is now of vast importance during a time of rapid PROGRESS. It is wise for you to stay in close touch with all levels of your social world. Monitor the needs of others and be supportive of progressive improvements. Take an active part in the affairs of society now in order to refine and enhance your inner worth.”

What Will Help During this Time?

Learn to stop identifying with the small mind for it would like you to believe that the Truth is something to be afraid of.

What if you stopped trying to control the Truth and made it a friend? Could you allow it to be more of a guide and objective force of Nature than something to be avoided or denied?

If you are unhappy, what is the harm in accepting the Truth and then taking steps to rectify it? Perhaps some may feel that there would be some form of punishment involved in finding a solution.

I would suggest that there is more suffering involved in denying or avoiding the Truth than there is in coming clean. The opportunities for reform are great and far reaching at this time, yet the opportunity is lost when the Truth cannot or will not be discerned.

Make a Pact With Your Spirit

Choose to follow Truth and forgive yourself unconditionally for any error or misunderstanding you may be holding in your small mind. Allow your heart and spirit to soften the harsh words you have for yourself and others. All are caught in the illusion of the small mind and you can help by removing your voice from the cacophony of accusations.

Your smile and gentle words will accomplish more in this time than forceful or punitive measures. Give yourself permission to reform your strength of character. Allow the the energy of the cosmos to influence your understanding of the human condition. Then, when you can see the seeds of discontent within yourself as well as others, you will know the true meaning of compassion.

Holding grudges against yourself and others is not productive and distracts from the true possibilities.

If you fear certain decisions that will set you free, allow your hope for the future to relax you and show you the way forward.

Release any agreement to be hard on yourself or others.”

Tips For Making Friends With The Truth

“Truth Knows No Master”

If your life has become too complex, play the Simplicity Game I have provided for you. The Truth is much easier to perceive when extraneous elements are removed.

Perhaps you have allowed some simple benefit to be ignored. Now is the time to become aware of it and embrace it for your higher good. Meditate on this symbol and place it in your home, someplace where you can see it often. As you look at it, ask yourself, “What benefits am I turning away from?” For most of you, there are many. Resolve to change your attitude towards them and accept them as gifts.

The small mind would prefer that you forget the gentler movements of the cosmos because it is addicted to dramatic and apocalyptic visions. Release your agreement with those visions and allow your heart and soul to guide you. Let yourself be supported by the emerging energy of Progress.”
