Love equals expansion, clarity, joy, and easy progress. When we love, it frees us from our poisons. “In a single day he is granted audience three times.” In practical terms what this means is that when we love, we spread forth and influence far and wide. We receive many blessings and our lives become less arduous. Our nature is essentially good, however as we grow we become “…clouded by contact with earthly things…” and need “…purification before (we) can shine forth” again. Love is part of this purification.
To love fosters “rapid and easy” progress. When we can truly learn how to love, we can begin to move ever forward on the Path. When we love, it sets everything in motion for completion. And, we can’t love at convenience. When we love, we love genuinely and without hooks; this is the only way. “…if the little fox, after nearly completing the crossing, gets his tail in the water, there is nothing that would further.” In other words, we must love to the end and we must love equally.
Conditions for us to love can be difficult. Often times requiring a lot of responsibility and commitment~ like leading a force through battle; the “…world out of (chaos) and back to order.” However, this is what brings us enlightenment. Love unites. Learning how to love does not come without difficult tasks. We often times feel surrounded by obstacles; mountains to climb, rivers to cross, hurdles to jump. When we are in these moments and circumstances it is best to be with like minded people and friends. It might be helpful to step back and pause and gain some perspective before continuing to march. In the end, this is what will serve best.
On this wondrous winter day, be watchful of blame, look within to correct the inner compass, and step into the ocean of learning to love.
Attend to your marriage or partnership today. Serious issues must be resolved before you can move forward. You may feel emotionally blocked by rules or restrictions or people in authority. The need to admit and accept that loss has occurred is part of the picture. Letting go of a losing proposition frees you to move into new, more promising arenas. As the day progresses, diplomacy enhances and smoothes everything. Men and authority figures are favorably active. Flaunt your power if you’ve got it!

Watch for an emotional surprise or shock early in the day that necessitates re-arranging or re-organizing something you thought was complete. Someone else has a new idea that needs to be incorporated into the plan. Be flexible since the change is an improvement that results in a better product. Men or authority figures are strong and correct in their actions. Energetic responses lead to success. A message from afar is beneficial.

Laughing offers us mini moments of retreat. Not to be confused with flight, they are rather moments of reflection, introspection, and joy. When we laugh, we offer joy through our smiles and become infectious. Like watching a fire grow, our laughter expands and spreads forth. And like the wind, it drifts from place to place. It resonates between the earth and the sky.
There is a lot of hidden benefit in laughing. It can calm the upset, lighten the loads we bear, and foster love.
There is something powerful and respectful about someone who can laugh and truly bring joy to the group. And laughter often illuminates the middle way in a difficult situation.
Laughing enables us to make the long haul, and helps develop our inner strengths of clarity and understanding~ compassion.
Coming to a place of peace, joy and serenity requires surrendering: letting go of the tightness and allowing the ease. When we can laugh together, there is prosperity.
Laughing develops our inner growth~ and offers joy to the world. Have a wonderful Wednesday, and don’t forget to laugh.

Relationships are built upon inner worth. This inner worth is developed by us following what we know to be true and right for ourselves~ following our hearts and not being swayed or influenced off our paths.
Question for 12.08.09 was: How do I build better relationships with people?

Relationships are built upon inner worth. When we feel “inwardly united with the fundamental principles” our inner power expands. That is, we feel confident and good about ourselves. When we possess this inner value then we are more likely to treat others well and with respect. This in turn offers harmony in our relationships with people. Furthermore, as we develop our inner worth, always cultivating it with compassion, we begin to have a deeper understanding in the meaning of all phenomena. In more practical terms, we have clarity about the overall picture of things. In relationships, this means when there is conflict we have a better chance of understanding what is actually happening and we can have compassion for both ourselves and other.
This inner worth is developed by us following what we know to be true and right for ourselves~ following our hearts and not being swayed or influenced off our paths. When we are in harmony with what is right for us, then we feel worthy. This lends to good relationships with all living beings.
Cultivating inner worth poses tremendous power. This power can offer positive example for others. When people are around someone who has strong inner worth, then it influences that person to have direction for themselves; the old saying, lead by example comes to mind.
When one casts out what is degrading in their lives, and incorporates what is right, they feel good about themselves; they can have love and compassion for themselves, and in turn have love and compassion for others fostering good relationships with people.
Go forth today treating people well and with respect. Cultivate your inner worth by following what you know to be true and right for yourself, and you will find harmony in your relationship with others.
You feel critical and carping toward others, and they feel that way toward you. Double check your work as you could make mistakes today. A “big picture” concept may be stalled or sidelined by mechanical mistakes. Think of an airplane waiting on the tarmac while mechanics check out a problem. Be patient. Something that has been developing in the background could suddenly spring into life. It’s a winner! You are glad you waited.

Confident, enthusiastic and aggressive emotions predominate. Feelings of invincibility encourage enthusiastic forward movement. Oddly enough, a group may vote down the best ideas or recommend “let’s think about it.” Feelings of anger can flare when a wonderful idea is put on hold. Think carefully about the objections, make a few concessions, don’t insult anyone, and the project is back in the works. Excitement! Be extremely cautious about the two extremes of either talking obsessively or else refusing to speak. State your case and stop talking. It’ll work out.
