The month of July is a time to rest lightly on the water, and travel gently through this unique time and space. "Don't push things.” If you can remember these three words you will save yourself from a host of headaches. People in general will be experiencing a paper-thin level of tolerance, so keep your expectations at a low level and rely primarily on yourself. There can be a lonely quality to the number 7 when in the negative polarity; however, there is a way to elevate yourself above this emotion. We'll get to that in a little bit.

Leaving Hope, Wishes, and Desires in the Dust for a Life of Promises that Delivers
Imagine a life that not only promises fulfillment but truly delivers it. Imagine discovering that the God is real and that the Divine is genuinely on your side, and that no amount of gratitude could ever capture the depth of appreciation you feel for the security this life provides. This isn't just hope; it's a living reality, a realized prayer.
Happiness isn’t always about being giddy, or constantly smiling, or feeling good all the time. While those moments may be part of it, true happiness also embraces sorrow, grief, and empathy for the pain of others. Happiness is the ability to keep life’s events in proper perspective. It is the deeper understanding that pain and pleasure are not necessarily opposites—they are reflections of the same divine rhythm.
The only place inflexibility is not only welcome, but required, is in living the will of God. Through the guidance of true teachers and/or an authentic teaching, history has shown us, although rare in the Piscean Age, that saints, Gurus, sages, divine messengers have always appeared. They carry the virtues God requires, most notably surrender. Surrender to the Truth.
The number 4 of April requires us to look at the structure of our life, and make decisions in regards to the responsibilities we can carry. Sorting out what stays and what needs to be cleared from the shelf is a top priority now. There is a line of demarcation that needs to be established at this time, because once we emerge into the month of May it will be difficult to disentangle from even the suggested promise of a commitment.
Throughout history, there have been five major turning points that dramatically reshaped the known world: the fall of the Roman Empire, the rise of Islam, the Black Death, the Arab Conquests, and the Industrial Revolution. Each marked a complete shift in the human condition — and now, we find ourselves living through another such moment: the Information Age.
The month of March 2025 is a powerfully creative time, and we can catch a new wave of momentum if we carry ourselves in a posture of measured enthusiasm. Number 3 is the Positive Mind, and it is the storehouse of our dearest wishes and desires. We collectively want something bold, new, and brilliant at this time, because the mincing trepidation of the beginning weeks of the year is now getting a bit old.
A few days ago, I heard someone say, "Well, I’m doing the best I can." I guess that they thought that I should feel good for them. Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad that this way of thinking works works. It removes guilt. After all, this speaker has done all that they could do so nobody should expect anything more, including themselves. This is where the problem lies. Please, let me explain.
A “True” Story
I met Sangeet about 5 years ago, a couple yrs before covid when the Sangat in Espanola NM was bustling with community members and Kundalini Yoga students from around the world …
What is my purpose? Why am I still here? I thought I was retired and yet, I find myself called to one last very important task. I am searching for a student—or perhaps a group of students like a Panj, (five individuals) who are trending heavily toward truthful leadership. Allow me to explain what I seek.
The Qualities of Leadership
Let me begin by stating that the qualities I speak of herein are not ALL the qualities of leadership in this dharma and communities. This is just the beginning of the service and devotion held as a basic standard of who we are.
