holy water sprinkled on him by his
aunt, who was trying to help him
survive the injuries from his fall.

Bea Bernkrant and her husband
filed a lawsuit last month against
the Radisson Suite Hotel in Boca
Raton, Florida, accusing the hotel
of negligence in allowing the cou-
ple’s personal towels, which they
had brought to the hotel, to be
stolen from their room,

Failure to work on this integra-
tion inwardly with great honesty
and diligence will often bring
about either a tremendous feeling
of discontent or, in some cases,
psychological disturbances which
can eventually lead to a large- .
scale disintegration of the person-
ality/persona/mask.

Stand on truth. It could be the
key to your own particular heaven
or hell. .

ALL SIGNS

In addition to being kind to
yourself/others (same thing), junk
something every day.

Junk your fears, junk your
various worries, junk your anx-
ieties, junk your petty jealousies,
envies and hatreds.

Whatever interferes with your
rising and shining and getting on
in the world —- junk it!

Before you go to sleep, put
upon the junk heap aff your
disappointments, grudges, your
vengeful feelings, your malice.

Junk everything that is hinder-
ing you from becoming a strong,
vibrant character.
