Dear Ones - Sat Nam,

When you are dedicated to raising the food for your entire village . . . you will always eat. Accused of being over idealistic, you run the risk of being an answer to all humanities challenges. This is a wonderful dilemma to be caught up in. This can be a real purpose-filled driver in your life.

Remember however; when you take on these types of idealistic tasks there will always be push back both from without and within. The outside push back is obvious, but the internal ones are most clever. They create the foundation for your doubts, for your concerns . . . all the way up to your largest fears. They are rich earth for the internal ridicule and self defeating monologues that lurk in the shadows of the unconscious. They are always there waiting, just like mildew waits for dampness. You are not being targeted; don't take this personally . . . you are just an opportunity for either achievement or defeat. This is the nature of nature.

Dear Ones - Sat Nam,

When you sincerely request to grow spiritually — life will take and lead you through the unknown, unfamiliar and uncertain barrios of this world. In this, you will be tested, taunted and tormented in order to surrender and become completely 'OK' with the total lack of security and feeling safe. How else are you going to become introduced to elegance of your faith?

Safe, after all, is different for each person — it is defined by the individual's karmic cycle of consciousness. With some, safe is being able to make up their own decisions; for others, safe is to have all decisions made for them. All persons have their standard, but unless something knocks you off your safe-zone, you will hold on to it for dear life and never grow. This safe-zone is then the most dangerous place to live. It will keep you attached to the illusions generated by your karmic cycle (the sum total of your incarnate scores). If you want to change and grow from where you already are: you must dramatically shift what you have already done.

Dear Ones - Sat Nam,

As a child . . . the tools of childhood served us well. These . . . the tools of doubt; jealousy; envy; frustration; fear; fascination; unreasonable humor and many, many others all provided the illusion of security and stimulated our childhood growth. As an adult we must put aside many of these tools except unreasonable humor (belly laughing) and fascination: otherwise, the other ones will hold us way back, disrupt our sacred perceptions of life, create disharmony amongst our peers and produce other unintended consequences.

Our life-destiny is conceived through the confluence of three (what yogis call) rivers — the Cosmological River (path of the soul's incarnations); the Genealogical River (path of the bloodline—the family tree); and the Experiential River (path of this lifetime's experiences).

Dear Ones - Sat Nam,

We are at the place in human existence where a race between 'ignorance being blissful & enlightenment being essential' is in full swing. To use the whole human system is an absolute must at this point in our evolution. The common belief of yesterday and today is: we have a body and when the body stops life is over. Because of this belief system, life is considered a fragile event and all the sensations of life are extremely insecure. With the sensations of life being fragile, everything about it is considered critical and unsafe . . . this is the driving motivation of today's human world.

In this environment: job is critical; family is critical; religious belief is critical; culture is critical. Where is the motivation for joy when it is all viewed from such a critically fragile posture? There is very little enjoyment in the world today . . . there is a whole lot of fear. If you teach otherwise; you are considered foolish, naive and irresponsible.

Dear Ones - Sat Nam,

While building the tribes into community, while building a relationship into unity; you will either establish identity through your excellence or your obstinance. By being collaborative not competitive you are envisioning an ideal content, while disposing consciously of its impenetrable packaging. You are allowing the balance to balance the polarities . . . both the positives and the negatives.

In the process, display great patience . . . patience is not sitting and waiting, it's sitting and knowing. Patience is holding the 'space' of achievement with the 'place' of absolute willingness. In the sailing of a relationship . . . (Place) is the position of your sails. (Destiny) is where you are going. (Purpose) is the pathway between where you are and where you are going. The winds are the circumstances of the infinite possibilities of the (Space). In these infinite possibilities are the infinite solutions awaiting your patience to unfold them.

Dear Ones - Sat Nam,

The human being is a social animal. When you befriend those in your life; you must accept them with all their quirks and all their qualities. Any relationship must be viewed through the eyes of gravity, the eyes of levity, and the eyes of neutrality combined. These are the three aspects of the collective human consciousness and each is required for a relationship to have any chance in this material world.

Without the discipline and the support of levity to guide you through this maze, entropy will bring in gravity and any relationship will fall down. It is the law . . . things fall apart . . . gravity wins when left as the sole ruler through its fear. Gravity pulls everything down; do not take this personally, just take it to heart — it is a law that cannot be avoided. Respond to gravity with levity rather than with unrestrained emotions.

Dear Ones - Sat Nam,

Everything in life is a relationship. In our primary relationships — the ones near the epicenter of our activity — it is never productive to wait for relating to happen. You must creatively create each moment in order for momentum to take place. Guarantee the consistency of each outcome consistently. When outcomes appear to be blocked, remember; all any blockage represents is a perfect opportunity to begin. "No," is a starting point.

Use every blockage like a workout gym. Understand that the heavier the relational weight, the greater the relational possibility. Often times these relational weights are from ancient karmic memories that have grown into present moment "monsters" through many lifetimes of neglect. Also, relationships that are extremely enjoyable but lack the sparkling chemistry; these are huge gifts from the ancient past as well. Sparkle is but an illusion — an illusion that can be built and then enjoyed if you learn to do the work.

Living - true - relationships: these are connections with observations for participation . . . never . . . inspections with judgment for performance.

When you experience the fulfillment of such a relationship — a living - true - relationship — you have an awareness of connection without any credits for the performance. It is effortless . . . it is painless . . . it is gratifying.

There are many options in every moment of life, but in such a true relationship you are without options. You have surrendered all of your options to your commitment . . . and this is why — even though they are desired - living - true - relationships are generally avoided.

Dear Ones - Sat Nam,

When it comes to educating children in this world, one size does not fit all. Within the categories we have already labeled — the so-called unable, the disabled, the special needs and those lacking particularly common abilities — rests other advanced abilities excitedly sprinkled amongst these children with unusual and phenomenal capacities. Children are, in fact, able to see this world through a wide variety of lenses if we allow them to.

Our job as educators is not to label and categorize the child's abilities, but to excite our own ability of enabling their dormant powers . . . unique powers resting within every child on Earth. Our task is to invoke the discovery process, not define it.

Tension, pressure, stress and friction are the human consciousness impressed by gravity. Without gravity and these four impressions, there is no possibility of life, or any other 'matter' in this universe.

How you interpret the message from these impressions of gravity will determine how you feel about the world around you. At any given moment, how do you view your possibilities of moving forward? These views will cause all of your decisions. Am I supported in my dreams? Is the world out to get me and destroy my dreams or is it friendly? These questions will cause responses . . . I will succeed! . . . or . . . I will have problems!

All of these and many other questions with responses will arise on a daily basis and shape the ways you view the essential impressions of gravity. Since these impressions are a natural part of all existence, it is really up to you to make them work.

Dear Ones - Sat Nam,

To stop an argument, first stop arguing, and then speak with the fragrance of resolution, not the stink of confrontation. The louder the opposition wants to yell . . . the softer and more confidently you want to speak. Be an example of a pure existence having a pure experience.

Arguments stem from doubt . . . using the anger to force verification of a value that you yourself do not fully believe. Convincing another through an argument is actually striving to convince you.

It is more effective to work the inside. Achieve inner approval and no longer require it from the outside . . . no longer require others to validate you . . . no argument needed. Employ your life-force as a means of being . . . all that you are becomes merely what you are . . . all that you are engaged in becomes engaged.

Dear Ones - Sat Nam,

Fear is like an ocean — time never warms its waters while you shiver and wait. Entering slowly is not a valid strategy to make it easier either. The cold is not erased by any amount of — "waiting until you are ready".

If you are not ready now, you are not ready ever . . . that is the reality of time's illusion . . . "what is to be, already is" (Humee Hum Brahm Hum). Until you make your readiness active, your readiness is sleeping.

Slow your rhythms down, efficiency is not about speed, it is about connection, traction, grip and accuracy. These all tend to fulfill a time-line faster than any speed. There is a Native American proverb: a young boy asks his Grandmother how long it will take him to accomplish his task. "Well," she answers, "it should take about a week if you set your mind to it. But if you really hurry, it will take at least two weeks."

Be un-cautious, but do not be unconscious. Small focused steps produce greater achievements because they advance and do not stumble. Small steps become the biggest steps of all, for small steps add up. Big steps can become extremely small when they fall down and stumbles require recovery.

Dear Ones - Sat Nam,

Seekers — students of the Infinite, students of yoga, students of life — often complain that when they sit down to meditate, they are not always greeted by the pleasantness of openness, the attitude of readiness, or a heartfelt sense of willingness. The great master Yogi Bhajan said many times, "If when meditating — all your garbage does not come out to greet you — you are probably not meditating."

Meditation disassembles old thought patterns and reassembles them into ones that better serve the 'pre—awakened' on the path to becoming 'awakened'. This is not always a dance — much of the time it is a struggle — especially when you run into patterns that have become attachments.
