Paul Lenda – In Taoism, there are three qualities of life and self that Lao Tzu has called treasures. I’m not talking about jing, qi, and shen, which are treasures in themselves but are different types of energy. The three treasures I am referring to are simplicity, patience, and compassion.
As Lao Tzu said in the Tao Te Ching, “I have just three things to teach: simplicity, patience, compassion. These three are your greatest treasures. Simple in actions and thoughts, you return to the source of being. Patient with both friends and enemies, you align with the way things are. Compassionate toward yourself, you strengthen your connection with all beings in the world.”
Let’s break this down and look at each treasure individually. Continue reading →

As the old adage says, “Nature abhors a vacuum,” meaning that whenever you release something toxic, it is always healed or replaced by something better.

Today, the Sun advises us to keep things simple, but complex energetics make that a little bit of a challenge.
The Sun is discharging the energy of 27 Aquarius and the Sabian symbol of “an ancient pottery bowl filled with violets.” This images simplicity and purity in an innocent form. The bowl is formed by human hands using the elements of the Earth. It tells us to keep things simple, and it also inclines us toward beauty.
Tis the gift to be simple, It’s a gift to be free, ‘Tis the gift to come down where you ought to be, And when we find ourselves in the place just right, Will be in the valley of love and delight.

When true simplicity is gained,
To bow and to bend, we will not be ashamed,
To turn, turn, will be our delight,
Till by turning, turning we come round right
‘Tis the gift to be simple, It’s a gift to be free,
‘Tis the gift to come down where you ought to be,
And when we find ourselves in the place just right,
Will be in the valley of love and delight.

To bow and to bend, we will not be ashamed,
To turn, turn, will be our delight,
Till by turning, turning we come round right
Till by turning, turning we come round right
It is always an honor to address my words to you. And there is always urgency when these words need to find their way into your hearts. We are there with you always; we know which level of readiness you are connected to. We know when we can start our direct communication with you person by person. And we are fully aware of which are the issues that need a broader audience to talk to you about.
There are those long awaited preparation steps that make your recent rise in consciousness levels ready for certain planetary changes. They are the same as the universal changes, but no need to deal with them at the moment from this stage of operation. Soon the call will arrive to your heart to pay even more attention to these changes. Always seek the interconnectedness. There are no separate events to unfold but there will come a chain of events, which will bring the recognition of the broader spectrum of the transformation you and your beloved planet are in the middle right now.
This year brings all the changes to open the gate for the new energies to arrive full speed to your reality. The only tools needed are to be found residing within you. Silence, and simplicity are two of them. They are carrying the needed vibrations to be prepared.
Silence – not that of the hermit who keeps physical silence for months and uses the method of pulling away from his physical reality. The silence I am referring to here keeps you in your reality with a constant presence in your heart that gives you the scoop of your recent life, and helps you to recognize and manifest into it all you need to learn from, and to be gifted by it.
Silence is the simplest method to connect you to your own heart. This silence is like your personal master that can help you to stay in focus. Staying in the focus of the heart and not the mind. Silence is like a Golden Dome you can use to eliminate all the noisy disturbances around you.
