THIRTY-ONE

咸

COMMUNION

CONCERNS:  Mutual receptivity, influence and interaction; contact and response; circulating energy with an open heart; sensing unity.

1. It is best to let favorable first impressions settle before we are impelled to action.
2. An appropriate level of intimacy is arrived at when we are sensitive to our calm inner guidance.
3. We risk humiliation in relationships when we are driven by impulsive desire.
4. Real relationships develop when we allow positive mutual influences to arise and harmonize with each other naturally.
5. Interaction without expectation.
6. Influencing others through persuasion or argument is a superficial approach which will have superficial results.

COMMENT: How do we exert our influence? Through force, money, manipulation, argument? Or through understanding, cooperation, helpfulness and kindness?
