Friend, Do It This Way
Friend, do it this way.
When you stand in the Sacred Hoop of the People, you must be responsible because you do not stand-alone.
Many others stand behind you, depending on you, supporting you, praying for your success.
Not only your living relatives but, also those who have gone on to the spiritual worlds, as well as, those that are yet unborn; all of your relatives stand with you.
And so when you stand in the Sacred Hoop of the People, you must be responsible.
And when you have a need and want to serve the People you must ask for what you need with a pure heart of the Creator.
And when you ask what you need to help the People, there must not be any trace of doubt, in your heart, that what you requested will be given to you according to your needs.
Then exactly as you have asked, that is the way it will be.
