ABOUT A YEAR ago i
shared with you what I had
been calling The Choice Prin-
ciples. I’ve re-written them
and here they are under the
title Some Basic Principles -
for Nurturing Life at the
Growing Edge. If you are a
New Year evaluator and
look-aheader they may offer
a slight breeze of
encouragement. .
1. Be aware of your unison
with the Life Source and
learn by experience to trust
the reality of that unison.

2. Trust the evolving that is
now going on in your and in
every person and thing.

3. Love yourself, the
universe and everyone in it,
without conditions.

4. Be content with life as it is,
here and now, observing it
and éxperiencing it, withou
judgement. =

New Year's nurturing

5. Listen in silence to- the
wisdom of your higher Self
and respect it trustingly.

6. Be receptive to new
enlightenment whenever and
however it is revealed to you.
7. Be aware of your prosperi-
ty; accept it with joy; and,
guided by the wisdom of your
higher Self, use it lovingly.

- 8. Let go of everything you

are done with and be
everything you are ready for.
9. Allow yourself abuddant
expectancy. (although no
ific expectations) concer-
ning the ongoing enrichment
of your life.
10. Let your light shine by
allowing the treasures you
receive, though practicing
these principles, to radiate
through your life.

Be aware of choice as a
life-process, remembering

sion of some principles for —

living. As you ponder them,
there is a possibility, of
course, that you may be

naturally, but, if you don't | :
