Remain fully conscious of who you are and where you are heading. This is a crucial moment in your life. It is imperative that you remain fully committed to your path, centered in the domain of self that you have worked so hard to bring into fuller realization. With eyes focused forward and feet firmly planted continue your journey. Stay balanced by keeping your weapons of strength and creativity at the ready, your spirit afire, your heart calm. This day is important. Honor it but also take full advantage of it and the powers within the newly forming self. Be your own best friend today.

Life naturally pulls at us, taking us off our path of heart, yet our spirit naturally pulls us back again. Remind the self often of the magical mysteries of life, so near and yet also so far, in our grasp and yet often hard to grasp. This is true reality, yet we are fully equipped to return to our magical path with a simple reminder to do so. Let nature be one guide, but allow spirit to be the other. In this manner balance is achieved and our path of heart becomes clearer and clearer.

As within, so without. As you reflect the brightness of who you truly are notice how the outside world responds. If you are different your experiences will be different too. Allow the hard work of changing the self to be more present in your life. Express who you truly are, even a little bit more each day, and see what happens. Things do not change if you do not change. You have already proven this. Be a little daring; if you change then things outside of you will change too. Prove that.

Containment leads eventually to explosion. To take advantage of right containment, so that explosion is beneficial and evolutionary rather than destructive, one must know why one contains. Containment must be a conscious process, alchemical in its properties to transform one state into another. This is using containment wisely. Containment that is merely restrictive without the components of change is destructive containment.

Now is a time of change and real change involves containment of old energy and transformation into new energy. If containment is to be useful, go inwardly with couscous intent, certain that the only way forward now is as a changed being. Set about making that change happen by taking inward only that which is beneficial. Conceal the container of self and do the work of the alchemist. Release will happen naturally when the transforming work is done. Conscious intent, knowing that it is a now or never situation, is the first priority to embrace; then act on it. Now or never?
