Human Prayer: Cycle of Life

As we move through the passages of inner knowing,
may we be blessed in a lightened and easy path.

Divine Prayer: 5th Awareness

I allow Divine Source to fill me with a wider and larger
understanding of all life and relation.

Metta: Dana - Generosity of Giving of Oneself

The Reason of the Mind is to Be Visions OF Love.

The Mind reasons the desire:

To know of self and other.
To know of other and self.
This is Communion of Love

To Have Allowance of self and other.
To Have Allowance of other and self.
This is Compassion of Compassion

To Be Acceptance of self and other. To
Be Acceptance of other and self. This
is Co-Operation of Joy

To Be of One Universal Self.
This is Co-Creative Ascension of Equanimity

2. Unified Divine Human Quality: Truth (Aspect-Image to Love 'Imagination')

The Eternal Aspects: Partnership, Family, Work, Home, Vehicle, Friends in Ego/Soul Unity.

The dualistic nature of Ego/Soul enter into the Aspects as this and that, here and there, right and wrong, light and dark, up and down, etc.

The Eternal Aspects Imagine Love to be of Peaceful Ease and are the creative containers in finding Equanimity . Duality seeks Unity within the Eternal Aspects. Core dualities meet in the Aspects and evolve Harmony and Rhythm and become 'blended'.

In order to Co-create within the Aspects, Equanimity must be found as a balanced bridge built upon the foundation of Soul Truth in Human Trust.

Harmony and Rhythm must undergo the balancing tests between 'urgency' and 'resistance'. Here resilience is found as a reliable tether which is centered in authenticity and mutual respect.

Here we pray for the lightened and easy gentle pathway.

Both 'resistance' and 'urgency' must be able to say, with an open and clear heart:

To get to this point, both 'urgency' and 'resistance' must find the clarity of self-responsibility.

Clarity in Character for Blocks of Resistance:
Energies of Resistance are of:

• Of low slow moving energy.
• Seeks out high energy Being to take energy from.
• Embodies Dependency by taking energy from others.
• Fosters Co-dependency through personal neediness.
• Takes or receives energy without permission or clear boundaries.
• After energy siphoning, resistance feigns ignorance of actions.
  (However, these actions take away the joy of another and occur on an etheric level and are not visible in the physical material sense until illness sets in.)
• Lacks personal boundaries which allows for other not to take personal responsibility and allows self not to take personal responsibility.
• Is Judgmental diminishing of others as being weak and broken.
• Leaving relationship or returning to the relationship only for energy charge.

Clarity in Character Blocks of Urgency:
Energies of Urgency:

• Are high and fast moving energy.
• Seek out low energy person to give energy to.
• Gives energy without permission.
• Embodies Co-dependency by giving energy to .
• Fosters Dependency through neediness.
• Forces growth of another.
• Incapacity for either to sustain/maintain a mutual flow.
• Lacks personal boundaries therefore allowing other not to take personal responsibility and allows self not to take personal responsibility.
• Is Judgmental diminishing of others as being weak and broken.
• Leaving relationship or returning only for an energy discharge.

Resilience

This resilience is derived from Surrender to the Joy of self and other. Personal boundaries are defined by understanding what works and what doesn't work within each Aspect for gentle Ease and Peace.

For instance, if someone is making a batch of cookies and they decided to add artichoke hearts. Well, there needs to be a very specialized taste for that combination.

Equanimity is found in the knowing of self and other, the Allowance of self and other, the Acceptance of self and other, and the Freedom of self and other.

In other words, Equanimity does not mean that artichoke hearts belong in cookies necessarily, but there is a place for both at the dinner table. One happens to be part of the main meal, the other the dessert. There is also a unique possibility of artichoke hearts and cookies becoming a very defined relationship which my ultimately be able to co-exist.

Equanimity helps each Aspect to define self as Authentic, supporting self and other through the Joy of variance as the 'character of each quality'.

A supreme Truth of the Soul is that it has created and co-created the Eternal Aspects as a means to develop Home of the Soul. The Aspects are Life's containers for experiment and experience of living. These Aspects are Eternal in balance and steadiness and remain so Eternally. The qualities of our lives define the character boundaries of each Aspect. However, the individual will break before the Aspect will because the Aspects are Eternal. Our personal character as Ego defines limit and limitlessness of structure, while our infinite spark, the Soul, defines the amount of energy. Limitless structure and infinite spark live within the Eternal Aspects of life. The Eternal Aspects are the unification points, moments, pauses which define form and allow for the merging, blending, of the Soul and Ego for further advancement of Dignified Truth.

3. Descending Divine Quality: Courage (Intention-Dream for Love)

Intentions must be of Great Courage. Both the Ego and the Soul must have great inner and outer Courage to take this path. Strength lives in the Courage to Surrender in Trust to Divine, A Source greater than personal knowing or experience. Through this Courage, Beauty does show her face as the Eternal and unending 'willingness' to co-create.

4. Ascending Human Quality: Dignified (Quality-Dreamer from Love)

The Quality which is being evolved through the equitable heart is a Heart that is Dignified.

The Dignified Dreamer from the Heart of Love is a heart that lives in Equanimity:

• A heart that is generous and open to Love and well-being of self and other.
• A heart that is generous in the support and well-being of Joy for self and other.
• A heart that is Generous in Compassionate support and well-being of self and other.

Individual Questions:

• The purpose of this exercise is to help us connect with how we are feeling today. There is a lot of things going on in our world today.
  How do I feel?

• How does this Letter help you to understand something about the energies that are prevalent today?

Group Process:

• Each group is to come up with one question and submit it to the other members of your group. Each member answers all questions and posts in your group forum. From here you are to have a conversation about your questions and answers.

• Remember to use the communications skills that you have learned over the last couple of years. This is not a time to spew. It is a time to move to a higher level of comprehension and to help develop ways and processes for the practice of No Harm and to aide in the protection, health and wellbeing of our worlds and universes.

• What are some actions that your group can take in making this world a more user friendly place?

• What does your group agree to do to help bring peace to our world and universe? Share this with your community at the meeting.

Create a prayer to be read as a group for the Monthly Meeting.

Inloves continuing journey,
JiMi Tao
