New beginning today!  Emotions are high and so is sentimentality.  There is a tendency to think that because you really feel a certain way, it must be right.  Maybe so, but also use your mind.  A new timidity is present, and you aren’t sure you are up to the situation.  Abraham Lincoln said, “Seriously, I do not think I am fit for the presidency.”  Yet what a courageous man he was.  Feeling incapable of doing a job may be a signal that you understand what you’re up against.  And an accurate assessment of a problem is the first step to a successful solution.  Soldier on!

Men and authority figures are strong and in excellent form today.  An opportunity or solution comes through judicious expenditure of energy.  Women feel loopy, eccentric and moody. Go ahead and cry if you want to, it will clear the air. As is so often the case, once you let go of frustrating emotions an excellent plan is formulated that is a winner.  You really love doing things that help people feel better.  Cleaning, cooking, dusting and all sorts of work are surprisingly relaxing and invigorating.  Humility is the key today.

Fight!  Criticism, and everyone thinks they’re right.  Luckily this is easy to resolve, since both sides are willing to be flexible and change.  The real issue is stress and people are blowing off steam.  Later in the day you can mediate between two factions.  One side has stars in their eyes and the other side is lovely and proud.  If you explain them to each other all goes well.  This can turn into a party evening, and it’s good to watch your driving.  You could overdo and not feel well.  At the same time you can have an “Ah ha!” that is right on the money.  What a strange day.  Try not to talk too much.

Your thinking is sharp and flexible early today.  You can write the brief, or have the conversation that seals the deal.  Good communications prevail.  At the same time it seems you have your finger in a dike and you are trying to prevent something from happening.  It’s important to directly face the source of your uneasiness.  You can’t solve a problem if you don’t know what it is.  Learn more about your problem and you will be in a better position to deal with it.  Listen to alternative suggestions. Abraham Lincoln said, “He has a right to criticize, who has a heart to help.”  Help comes from an unexpected source.

Giving Rise to Recognition

An excerpt from the Mindfulness workshop given by Jetsunma Ahkon Lhamo in 1999

Do you want to be powerful like all Americans want to be?  Do you really want to be potent?  Do you really want to be a Great Being?  Well, if you want to do that, then stop seating your ego on the throne.  Awaken.  Get the fact that you are impotent unless you are able to move into a state of recognition.  You are impotent if you do not recognize that all the things you call your life are merely symptoms of the condition of your mindstream.  You are impotent if you do not realize that every time we have an opportunity to practice discrimination and lift up the sacred, we have an opportunity to awaken within ourselves; we have an opportunity to practice recognition, and that is power.

The way most of us live is like we’re trying to get through a dark room.  It’s pitch black.  There’s all kinds of stuff in it: furniture, sinks, bath tubs, all the stuff that they have in rooms.  We’re trying to get from the birth door to the death door.  We’re going across this room.  Now, you have two choices.  You can either go through this room and stumble over everything that’s in your way, or you can turn on the light and recognize what’s there, move around it, move over it, your choice.  But, that state of recognition requires constant mindfulness: constant mindfulness of that which is sacred, distinguishing that in the world.

I’ve given this again and again and again, and I will never stop because I love this so much.  It’s a line from a song that Art Garfunkel had in one of his albums. I think the name of the song is Mary Was An Only Child, and this one line that describes exactly what I’m talking about is perfect, another way in which the Guru speaks.  It goes like this:

“And if you watch the stars at night

and you find them shining equally bright,

you might have seen Jesus and not have known what you saw.

Who would notice a gem in a five-and-dime store?”

That five-and-dime store is ordinary perception.  To notice the diamond, we have to give rise to recognition and the View.  I feel that to practice like that is really a natural empowerment, a natural medicine that helps us give rise to the wisdom that is inherently ours.

You still want something.  Today be very careful that you don’t try to get it in an underhanded way.  If you can’t acquire something honestly, set it aside for the time being.  Anything gotten in an underhanded way will be paid for many times over in suffering.  You can’t shoplift peace of mind.  Luckily temptation passes and you do excellent work for which you will eventually be well rewarded. All’s well that ends well.

Go shopping today.  Buy things for the house, and settle in more comfortably.  Money matters are favorable and men and women are in harmony.  Cooking and all things domestic are favored.  Intuition and hunches also help.  Governmental organizations or special interest groups are on your side today.  A sudden loss or break can occur, but don’t worry it will be fixed by tomorrow.  A good investment comes your way, and a good meal makes you happy.

You are still raring to go.  Emotional enthusiasm permeates the day.  New ventures inspire you and life is exciting.  Yet you can feel tentative and uncertain.  Spend time with people who encourage you and have confidence in you and your aspirations.  Mark Twain said, “Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions.  Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.”  Remember the great people you have known and be encouraged!

Home and family have strong emotional pull for you today.  And at the same time you are still wrapped up in the project that has been taking your time.  You could feel impatient about sentimental demands, but go ahead and call your mother or your dear ones.  You are like a child who has just learned to run.  You’re zipping around enthusiastically but the second you notice you’ve gotten too far away from mom your confidence evaporates. Today be clear who and what is the source of your security and stay connected to that source.  We’re all children in that sense.

Something could happen today that pulls you back into a situation from the past.  It’s comfortable and it’s fine to visit and reminisce, but don’t stay long.  The dominant theme these days is aggressive forward action and avoiding roadblocks.  Life is exciting and self-orientation is present.  You are so involved in what you’re doing it’s hard to think of others.  Your agenda comes first!  King Louis XIV once famously complained, “I almost had to wait!” when his chariot was slow to arrive.  Be patient if you almost have to wait today.  Chat with people, look around and notice what’s going on in the world outside your head.
