Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me bring love.
Where there is offense, let me bring pardon.
Where there is discord, let me bring union.
Where there is error, let me bring truth.
Where there is doubt, let me bring faith.
Where there is despair, let me bring hope.
Where there is darkness, let me bring your light.
Where there is sadness, let me bring joy.
O Master, let me not seek as much
to be consoled as to console,
to be understood as to understand,
to be loved as to love,
for it is in giving that one receives,
it is in self-forgetting that one finds,
it is in pardoning that one is pardoned,
it is in dying that one is raised to eternal life.
Adopt an attitude of simplicity. Serve where it is needed. In so doing, you do not deprive yourself nor compromise your dignity. Abandon mindless consumption in favor of a judicious application of your faculties toward your own nourishment and care for others. Give attention to what is important.
Your faculties are the functions, aspects and projections that give you abilities. To excel and enjoy life you need to enrich your mind. You must blend and use different combinations of your mental facets to support you and your intentions. When your faculties support your mental fashion and your fashion supports you, you become effective and share a legacy that inspires others.” Yogi Bhajan

Look beyond your personal inexperience to the wisdom of the ages. Seek advice, then follow it. Do not engage in ineffective fantasies. Do not fail to act nor rush to judgement lest you fail to grasp the the situation completely. Chaos will yield to a new order. Enduring perseverance will see you through the transition unscathed.
“When you want to be successful and very convincing, just feel truth in your heart. Be sure. Be confident. Feel that truth in your heart, then speak that truth from the heart. Don’t try to run it around or manipulate it with your brain or head.” Yogi Bhajan

Lift up others as if they are family, because they are. When everyone benefits, the community flourishes. A time of blessing and enrichment has such powerful effects that even events ordinarily unfortunate must turn out to the advantage of those affected by them. One makes no mistakes while acting in harmony with the truth.
“And there are so many Infinities in our experience. God is Infinity. Love is Infinity. Commitment is Infinity. In every facet of our life we have the potential for the Infinity of our projection. Projecting with Infinity in our speech is the base of committed language.” Yogi Bhajan

Another turning point. All movement is governed by cycles: a starting point (return), progression and completion. There can even be cycles within cycles. Now is a point in time for a significant return. We discover what needs to be renewed, and we align our intentions and actions with that.
When things are ready to turn, then a nudge is all that is required to set them in motion. Only decide what is worthy of your attention, and give it. Right now, you possess a big lever with which to produce a significant impact. Use it.
It is a time for strong leadership and the gathering of helpers for important action. Under attack, we must recognize what bonds us together and hold that unity. What is under attack is that unity itself. With compassion, success is assured as it is the foundation of what holds us together.

Yesterday’s reading indicated a dire situation that needs to be addressed. Doing so, one must be certain to eradicate any remnants of oppression. One cannot negotiate with evil, nor fight it on its own terms. It must be thoroughly discredited. Even expressing the truth seems not to be good enough. One must appeal to people’s better natures so they can arrive at a proper view of the situation. Then, it is possible to arrive at an equilibrium that is free of oppression and conflict.
