CONCERNS: The form aspect of experience; the accepting of direction and guidance from Heaven, the unmanifested aspect of the Universe; the world of the senses; that which is devoted, nurturing and gentle.

1. As we initiate an undertaking, attention paid to the first signs of deviation can prevent further digression. Get back on the path.
2. Natural responses to Heavenly guidance provide the best outcomes; wisdom comes from our conscious compliance with the subtle order.
3. In communion with the subtle realm, without seeking recognition, work diligently for the common good.
4. Here we are advised to gestate our ideas, plans and visions so they can mature and grow strong before we bring them for enactment into the world.
5. True inner evolution and development act subtly on the world, bringing about change without agitation; thus, proceed.
6. If we overemphasize the manifested energies of either Heaven or Earth, we bring them into competition, creating chaos within and without. A harmony of complementary energies is the basis of cooperation and balance in our lives.

COMMENT: Our ability to respond to subtle guidance is dependent upon increasingly purifying our minds of past conditioning and outworn patterns; only a translucent mind can let in the Light.
