“A Lesson in Quality”
Reading for the Collective

Again, we see this difficult rune appear for us in 2022, reminding us of the friction, hardship and obstacle within our lives that force us to grow & supply the fire needed under our asses to institute change. It’s not a situation we would have ever chosen for ourselves but often it’s through adversity that we discover new solutions to deal with our old problems. This abysmal last year or so was a critical period & precarious place to be, A place where we had to collect our forces, summon our strength & face our fears. These times provide us with the opportunity to shine as well as fail- moments when we proved our worth to ourselves & to the Universe. A true test of the quality of our inner reserves and how well we could weld them to cut through all the distractions & get to the core of the danger. Being pummeled by one danger /disaster after another without being provided an indication as to its true nature, direction, or estimated conclusion, we had to assume a warrior mentality to battle our way from the panic & confusion. Many felt alone overwhelmed, but those who maintained an unshakable & abiding trust in their own sense of what was right succeeded. Made it through by paying attention to their intuition and by staying flexible, responding to how life unfolded day to day- making decisions & adjustments accordingly seeing each moment as completely new – and yes at times totally unfamiliar or unexpected. As time goes on, it will be necessary to take each situation as it comes. To avoid sticking to rigid or intensely structured methods but instead look at the times ahead with fresh eyes, applying novel spontaneous approaches to upcoming problems or situations. Where our innocence was betrayed, we will have the opportunity to resiliently bounce back, forgiving ourselves for making the mistake of being too trusting. By acting from a place of natural openness & childlike curiosity, we will stay open to inspiration and unexpected good fortune. We learned the lesson of paying attention to our true needs & necessities because often what we desire & what we need are not the same. As a result, we are choosing to raise our standards & are grateful for the opportunity to start from scratch with quality materials-ones that nourish one’s body, mind, and spirit. Now, we can discern between what truly nourishes us & feeds our well-being. Through our individual and collective experiences, we now can distinguish between need and greed, wholesomeness from debauchery, real from junk, self-development from self-indulgence, eliminating anything that is sickening. We can feel the quality in our bodies, mind & spirits better than before. With eyes set towards future, we will be grateful for increased development & progress with those who share similar values of integrity & quality. With a focus on nourishment, we are eager to break new ground with those who feed themselves with good ideas, good actions, good teachings & good people.
