Maintaining Focus

Shake comes and goes. Adversity, the hungry souls and angry ghosts. Stay intent on your desire. Do not lose your purpose. There will be service. The fertilizing shock comes and goes, bringing up old memories and quarrels. Keep your mind on what you truly want to do and all will be well. You have made a connection that will lead to real excellence. You must deal with the corruption of nourishment and care now. Stop running after impossible desires. You cannot rescue your followers though your heart may ache for them. Step out to meet the new destiny. Gather energy for a decisive new move.

Shock goes hither and thither. Danger. However, nothing at all is lost. Yet there are things to be done. ##### Comments This is a case not of a single shock but of repeated shocks with no breathing space between. Nonetheless, the shock causes no loss, because one takes care to stay in the center of movement and in this way to be spared the fate of being helplessly tossed hither and thither.
