If we look for that soft heart we guard so carefully, we can’t find it, all we find is a kind of tenderness with some sadness.  This sadness is not about somebody mistreating us.  The sadness is an inherent sadness, unconditional sadness, this is sometimes called the genuine heart of sadness.

Whenever the optimal time of day is for you, use this time for self-cultivation.  If it is early morning when it is quiet and fresh, immerse yourself in these energies.  If it is evening, put your cares of the day aside rest and relax, use the gestating powers of the dark.

Shining the light on yourself will never boost your eminence.  Being self-righteous precludes you from being right.  Parading yourself parodies leadership.  Boasting about yourself will never boost your eminence.  Avoid the cultivation of these ego-bloated voids.

Political structures change as do nations, but life and our basic life’s needs remain eternally the same.  These needs cannot be changed, no matter our disposition or education.  The need for harmony can be achieved when a leader and people work together in cooperation with a unity of purpose.

Quote: Start a huge, foolish project, like Noah…it makes absolutely no difference what people think of you.
