Let your heart remain large and receptive, openly optimistic, even though there is much to be concerned about, for an open and receptive heart is a heart full of hope that all will be well, that the changes now current will bring forth that which has been hidden, and that new forces will join together to turn the tides in a new direction. What seems impossible is possible when there is no doubt, when the heart is in alignment with spirit and the cosmos, and when the positive has been enacted for the good of all. In alignment with all of that, everything IS possible.

Sending you love and support,

Remain heart centered in your intent, with compassion for yourself too, for though you may not be perfect you can still strive for perfection, and though you may not be fully in the place you want to be you can continue your quest for the self you know you are. All that is happening outside of you is reflected inside of you; the discontent, the inequality, the anger, the fear, the greed, the bigotry, the great need for change. The entire world is in an uproar. Do not let this uproar go to waste. Within and without, dare to change so that equanimity may be achieved, so that all may flourish, so that peace may come. A warrior knows that an opportunity like this may not come again for a long time. With loving kindness and compassion for all beings, a warrior does not let this time of great opportunity slip by. Begin by changing the self.

Deep Guidance for Now from The Mother

“…Suppose someone insults you; if in the face of these insults, you can remain immobile (not only outwardly, I mean integrally), without being shaken or touched in any way: you are there like a force against which one can do nothing and you do not reply, you do not make a gesture, you do not say a word, all the insults thrown at you leave you absolutely untouched, within and without; you can keep your heart-beats absolutely quiet, you can keep the thoughts in your head quite immobile and calm without their being in the least disturbed, that is, your head does not answer immediately by similar vibrations and your nerves don’t feel clenched with the need to return a few blows to relieve themselves; if you can be like that, you have a static power, and it is infinitely more powerful than if you had that kind of force which makes you answer insult by insult, blow by blow and agitation by agitation.” -THE MOTHER

Abide in knowing that all things change, that even this time will evolve, that even the most discouraging situations must come to a natural end. A warrior precipitates change by intending it within the self, by setting intentions for positive outcomes, by turning inward and enacting slow and subtle changes within the self. A warrior asks the tough questions circulating without of the self, so that everything that is happening in the world becomes a personal issue to be resolved within. In this manner a warrior reassembles the chaos into a clear route to personal positive change, from that which is seemingly impossible into something totally possible. For a warrior everything is possible.

Stay in alignment with that which is positive. Be proactive rather than stagnant. Be protective rather than careless. Provide yourself with that which is healthy, nourishing, and good, for body and soul. The soul needs positivity as much as the body does. The inner person needs as much attention as the outer person does, perhaps even more. Attend to the whole self with positivity and an attitude that says, “I deserve, I am worthy, I am beauty, I am love, within and without.” Now that’s positive!
