Discipline is a mindset Dear One, an attitude, an approach, a guide, a commitment.
It is not a contract, a commandment, an order, a doctrine, or a law that must be followed.

Discipline is flexible, malleable, adaptable,and strong.
It is not hard, rigid, tough, and unforgiving.

Discipline is the boat on water Dear One, not the rope tethering you to the dock.
It is the compass pointing your way, not the points plotted out on a map
It is the sail, and not the anchor.

Practicing discipline should strengthen you, empower you, guide you, help you to feel stronger, freer, more connected and in-synch with the world around you. Not frustrate you, weaken you, and leave you feeling depleted and restricted.

If what you are practicing is not serving you in all of these positive ways Dear One, there is a very good chance that what you are practicing is not discipline at all, but that you are just being hard on yourself, and that is not the same thing.

You want to be surrounded by more people who “get you” Dear One?

We’ll tell you how to do it.

Don’t go in search of them.

Reveal more of yourself, reveal more of who you really are to the world in all that you do, and they will find you!

Today we have a request for you, Dear One.

We would like to see you share more, to have more open, honest, and genuine shared experiences with those around you.

We would like to see you share your true self more; your ideas, thoughts, feelings, laughter, tears, questions, fears, doubts, beliefs, creativity, love, compassion, and so on.

Interact, exchange, contribute, collaborate, merge, network, reach out, unite, keep in touch, correspond, connect, every single chance that you get.

Why?

What happens when you mix two colors together Dear One? What happens when you mix two ingredients? What happens when you mix musical notes, or numbers, or letters?

The answer is that something new happens, something different happens, and more often then not, something beautiful happens.

So now do you understand the reason for our request?

Take a deep breath, let it go, and begin again.

Starting over can be as easy as that Dear One, if you let it be.

Be here.  Now.

• Are you loving your body, Dear One?
• Are you treating it with respect?
• Are you feeding it well?
• Are you speaking to it kindly?
• Are you keeping it fit?
• Are you making it strong?
• Are you taking really good care of it each and every day?

If your answer to any of these questions is anything other than yes, we would be remiss if we didn’t ask you, what could possibly be more important?

If you want to help them grieve Dear One:

• Ask them what happened
• Ask them how they are doing
• Ask them how they are feeling

If you want to help them heal:

• Ask them to tell you about the one that they lost
• Ask them to tell you what they love most about them
• Ask them to tell you how they made them laugh
• Ask them to tell you how they made them feel

Help them to remember, and re-connect with the love, not the loss

There is a reason that you feel a strong desire for a physical connection with others Dear One, aside from just a longing for sexual gratification — be it through a nudge or a tickle, a handshake or a hug, a kiss, a smack, an intimate embrace, or, of course, through the act of sex.

Do you want to know why that is?

It is because you all have source within you.  A spark of the divine  exists within your physical bodies, and aside from your connection to it through your own heart, the next closest source of divine energy that is available to you at all times, is each other.

Trust, believe, keep an open heart and an open mind, and you’ll feel us with you every step of the way Dear One.

Don’t, and we’ll still be with you, only you just won’t feel it.
