Is More the opposite of Less? This is true only when comparing your personal states of affair, for certainly, your condition of More is less than someone else’s, and your condition of less is More than someone else’s. Looking within these conditions, you must also compare the quality of the matters perused, thereby making comparison between anything outside Self quite skewed.
Do you seek the attainment of Peace: More peace than you currently master? Seek to grow the peace that you have, rather than comparing its quantity according to the quantity of peace that you believe someone else has attained. In actuality, you cannot know another’s mind. You cannot know what they are feeling or thinking, and cannot therefore accurately assess how much peace they have mastered. You therefore, cannot know if the amount of peace they have mastered is More than the amount you have mastered, or less.
How can More serve you? Inclusiveness.
Think on this: look at the tree. First, you may see the tree as being very different from yourself. Think of all the ways that a tree is different from a human being. Now, sit on the ground and place your back against that tree. Touch its roots. Stay very quiet—until you can feel its pulse.
Soon, you will understand that the tree takes nutrients from the earth, air and water; as do you. You will understand that the tree has a protective skin, and interior structures that help it to function, as do you. A tree breathes. It reacts to its environment. It feels.
While you might have entered your time with this tree in a state of Less—Less inclusiveness and Less understanding and Less brotherhood, you will likely part ways in a state of More. You now feel More inclusiveness, More understanding, and More brotherhood, with this tree, and possibly, with all plant life, because of this experience with this tree. More has served You. It has served the tree.
The condition of More has served the brotherhood of Great All, because it has led you to remember that you are More than one, singular human with an isolated mind and ego, going about willy-nilly in a singular, isolated life. The condition of More has reminded you that you are part of More than you remember, day-to-day.
The most effective way to combat loneliness, isolation, fear, regret, longing, and grief, all conditions of the Less, is to open your Self to the state of More.

Whether you’re hitched to a star, stuck in a ditch, plodding along behind mules, or being pulled by matched stallions, when you find that your Wagon is headed the wrong direction, what actions are required to Turn?
We will assume that you have seen, felt and confirmed, with all clarity, that the path you’re currently following is ready to be exchanged for another—and will not remind you of those tools. We will remind you that no path is wasted if you will take the time to understand its journey and see yourself for who you are and what you do and achieve while on the path. In addition to Self, however, you might have tethered to your Life, assets, and interests, a Wagon containing the Life, assets, and interests of others.
This Wagon is of what we speak. When you have seen clearly that a Turning should be done—that you should change your current path and begin another—you must also negotiate that Turning for those who are in your Wagon. Let us say that you are a steward, a head of household, a business leader, or leader in your community: your Wagon is peopled by those whom are influenced and affected by you and your choices.
Have you said to yourself: “I would like to work at a more fulfilling job, but my family (the persons in my Wagon) depend on me for the steady income and benefits of the job I currently hold—and my Beliefs tell me that switching paths is without guarantee, and may negatively impact those whom depend on me.”? What if your High Self is guiding you to move onward to something different, to take a leap of faith? How does one do that, in the face of these external, mortal responsibilities?
Karma is a tricky thing, as tricky as the human mind. How do you believe in Karma? How do you believe that Karma believes in you? We assure you, that however you believe in Karma, believe that the people in your Wagon are part of your Karma, and that you are part of their own. Believe that you are here with your karmic group to work together. That said, any time the Wagon needs Turning, communication is key.
Shadows occur where light is cast around obstruction. What is the obstruction? The obstruction is something that is currently so dense, light does not move through it. If you see shadow monsters before you, sometimes it is merely a condition of density—that requires the condition of light and lightening in order to be erased. Simply said: unspoken, some problems become large shadow monsters, while in communication and with light and lightening, some problems become very clear, erasing all shadows.
Therefore, Turning Your Wagon, is a matter of communication: first, with your High Self. Next, where appropriate, communicate in ways that help you to clearly see what Turning Your Wagon from this path to the next path requires. Once that is determined, speak with those—as appropriate—in your Wagon. Of course, as a parent, caretaker, overseer, or steward, you may not speak to those in your Wagon, but instead, consider them and their interests with the greatest responsibility and from the perspective of benevolence and grace.
We sometimes believe that our Wagon can’t be Turned or shouldn’t be Turned; that the ruts made are too deep, especially when the same line has been traveled many times before us. We often believe in Tradition in such ways, when it is sometimes no more than ruts, repetition, and stagnant thinking. Sometimes, High Self is telling us not only to abandon the path, but to abandon the Wagon altogether, to give that over to another, even temporarily . . .
Some paths grow very narrow, requiring singular travel. What then occurs with our Wagon?
Imagine a long thread leaving a tapestry, looping away from a point where its fiber is pulled out from the whole. It exits and re-enters very close to the same place. It is so with this singular travel. If your path narrows and you must walk it alone for a while, the point at which you re-renter and join again with your Wagon will seem long for you and brief for those others, provided there is no abandonment, but responsible re-assignment.
For these singular journeys are interior and complex.
Illness and disability are such times and conditions.
If there was proper communication, you might find someone new at the head of the Wagon. You might find that the persons in the Wagon have moved around. You might find, through proper communication, and by leading through doing and being, that you have inspired others, and that several more have taken a singular path. If you are a leader, teacher, guide, or caretaker, this will always be true . . .
You might come back to the same path, and be changed, and lead that Wagon differently. Your Wagon may contain a body of others that will be ever-changing in this lifetime; part of your karma in a distinct way. Some Wagons are more complex than others, some heavier.
Let us say that you are at a crossroads. Will you Turn Your Wagon left or right? Will you Turn and go back to the road you just passed, that was calling out as you went by? At the very least, look at your travel. If you travel in a Wagon, take its inventory—see if its wheels go forward in the ruts of past travelers.
Turning Your Wagon is not only Turning Your Life. Whether singular or group-inspired, what you do, now, today, every day, affects others and their Turning. Your Turning. Our Turning. The Turning Eternal of Great All.

A Resonant sound, feeling, or thought is one that patterns harmoniously with your current vibration. It could be new or old, but it is recognized.
An Echo has more about it, a shadow tone, a familiarity that lights up something which says to you it has traveled in that groove before. A déjà vu is a similar sort of awareness, a memory that is reaching forward, backward, or even laterally, causing you to stop in your present and become aware of some existence you might have missed.
What happens when the Resonance Echoes, or when the Echo has Resonance? What if you hear a piece of music—it Resonates—and you feel an Echo as well, some feeling that, though you don’t recall hearing the particular music in your mortal lifetime, you’re sure you have heard the music or known it before?
What happens when an Echo—say a vision of yourself at a piano—catches you when you find yourself near to that instrument, and sitting down to that piano, you find that placing your fingers upon the keys causes a Resonance in you? That Resonance tells you that making music with this piano is harmonious to your nature. That Echo in you, distant or close, is telling you the idea is not foreign; you have visited this idea, or reality, before.
When you experience Echo and Resonance, do you study your Self and the experience, or do you tell yourself that you are indulging a vivid imagination? (But, ho, without vivid imagination, what would any act of Creation be?)
You have been much more than you are today. You are much more. And you will be even greater. Listen to the Echoes and the Resonances as they enter and exit your Life streams. They will show you things beautiful and amazing. They can show you all the things you dare not dream for your Self.

Why is it said that the Night Falls, when just as surely the Morning is Rising? Is this not a matter for perspective? Is a glass that is half empty not also half full? And, can it be that these things just are, and in and of themselves are neither good nor bad?
Do you listen to your language as you apply it to that which you describe, and to that which you interact with in your world? Do you recognize when you have applied your language in such a way that its meaning is derogatory or desultory? Do you understand that language, whether thought or spoken, sums up your Beliefs about your Beliefs? Do you follow our meaning?
When we say that Night Falls, what do we mean? Do we mean that Night is above us, and that it begins to lose its grip, falling down towards the point at which we perceive it? Is this what we mean? More importantly: is this what we Believe?
How does Night Fall in your world? From which direction does it makes itself known? It is likely ruled by your landscape, and by your proximity to the earth’s equator, and by the cycle of the solar year in which you are its witness. As the sun appears to sink on the horizon, it might physically appear that the darkness follows it, Falling behind the light.
But Falling itself seems to indicate a condition that is less controlled that what actually occurs. Does Night Fall? Does Morning Rise? Are they opposed, or paired?
Think on this one phrase today, and perhaps you will think on other phrases that you say which are mere habit and repetition—and before Night Falls this eve, perhaps you will discover something about the power of your words, in ways or means not previously understood.

When you are led inside yourself, do you feel the boundlessness of Great All and its mighty riptide of Life, a force at the same time silent and symphonic? You are music and stillness and All That Is and will ever be, forever. This is The Procession of Life, making and remaking Itself, knowing Itself in every conceivable form.
The Procession is the one thing that leads to the next thing, that like pearls on a string, infallibly draws you through all that you will make and experience, to the Core and Heart of the All, knowing Itself. Eternity and Its wisdom and heart, knows every nuance of You. You dance in and out through Its fabrics as a needle dances, silver and glimmering, piercing your Self into the tapestry of What Is and What Will Be, that Is Ever After.
You are part of The Procession, and The Procession Itself. You are the Heart of All.

When you encounter Turbulence in your life, what form does it take? Is it most often self-initiated or is it otherwise? Chaos itself is a necessary disruption, a force for un-making and re-making, a tool for the Creator and Co-Creator to draw upon in order to revision things.
Turbulence is the state of movement that happens during the change where things become less-than, more-than, and different-than what you have previously known or recognized. It can create a sort of hypnagogue of seeing and sensing that throws one off center and causes one to re-calculate and re-calibrate. It can be a dreamtime, or an awakening. It need not center itself in panic, doubt, remorse, and sadness—though, often, it does.
Turbulence can be the Tsunami that stirs the bottom of the sleeping ocean and brings to shore the ancient secrets of civilizations long buried there. It can be the hurricane that transplants the exotic plants with healing powers to cure a community’s strange woes. It can be the earthquake that shakes loose despondency, calling out the lion-hearted to help its survivors.
Turbulence can also be the biosphere gently shaken to strengthen its roots. When Turbulence enters your Life, allow that you will be shaken. Lightly or at your core, this shaking will leave you changed. Accept it or not. Integrate it or not. Once change has changed you, you are changed . . .
Pretense and pretending serves nothing and no one. Ignore the boiling pot and it merely boils dry. As the flame continues, the pot cracks. Depending on the conflagration, the house may soon follow, or the village . . . maybe even its traditions, such as has happened with ‘lost’ civilizations.
Judge Turbulence for what it is when you meet it. Whether friendly to your causes or opposed, if Turbulence is upon you, wishing it away will do nothing. Meet it; study it; learn from it. How might this animal serve you, even in the smallest measure?
If you grow in strength and patience by knowing Turbulence, it has served you. If you learn to apply controlled Turbulence to that which you wish to re-make, hastening the old thing’s demise, It will serve you in great leaps.
Would you strengthen your roots? Turn the soil.

When we hold something in Trust, we become responsible for that thing, whether that thing be an emotion, an outcome, a belief, an action, or an interaction. In Trusting, we hold that thing secure. We take it inside us, giving it space and energy. Whether or not we later decide that our Trust was misguided, our initial decision to hold something in Trust is an act of surrender, and one of courage.
Do you Trust in day and night? Do you Trust that to live in your mortal body as it exists today, you will unconsciously breathe in and out? What else do you Trust—including the things that you have, perhaps, not thought of in terms of Trust—or in Trust’s opposite, Fear.
Have you experienced total darkness in the day, without explanation, and known Fear, losing your Trust? Have you had a mortal experience where you stopped breathing in and out, and for some moments, knew the state of crossing-over, or mortal death—and did you know Fear, losing your Trust? Even if you haven’t experienced these conditions, how might having felt them change your feelings of Trust and Fear? How would doubting the things you take for granted impact your life?
This is at work in your Life right now. We all Trust, and we all Fear. Sometimes we are confused about how much energy to give to which things and the reasons for which we should give it. Do you Fear change? Do you Trust sameness? Do you Fear isolation? Do you Trust group acceptance?
Do you Fear the radical idea while Trusting popular opinion? Do you Trust self-images of smallness while Fearing your own greatness? Can you dance?
To decide what you Trust, you must decide what you Fear. What do you most Fear? Is it the loss of your mortal Life? Is it the loss of your mortal health? Is it the loss of your mortal security? Your mortal reputation? Your mortal community? Your mortal family? What do you most Fear?
Now: What do you most Trust? We hope you can hear us. We hope you can hear this song. We hope you will dance.
