I've been reminding many friends and clients of one or more of these over the past two weeks, so figured it may be relevant to what many are currently going through. I've been pondering these for several decades, and still haven't found a fourth "truth" that isn't related to one of these three.
For your renewed consideration, The Three Truths In Human Life. With all the radical changes going on, with the acceleration of the time stream, with all the pressures we're all under on a daily basis, keep these close to your heart. They may help you remember some things that are beyond the fluctuations of the white noise of daily living.

Hi Robert,
The greatest truth that I've wanted humanity to embrace for I don't know how long ... is very simple. Outer appearance means nothing - only the spirit within matters.
If people would embrace this, learn from and be enriched by one another - rather than to fear one another - everyone would benefit.
The Olympic spirit of sharing is one thing - but it needs to be that way every day.
Blessings,
Lori

Hi Robert,
Not to change the subject, but Pluto rx and Jupiter rx in my 2nd house has been rough for me the past 4 months. May I say that I will be glad when they both go direct next month! : )

Hi Lori - Yes, form is empty, Spirit is all. On a related note, the "Olympic spirit" seems to me to have disintegrated into a competition to push a political agenda, if the totalitarian display of regimentation by the host country in the recent Olympics is any indicator. It was an authoritarian spectacle unlike any since Berlin 1936. Riefenstahl would have been proud. Billions of dollars to push an image of a country who cheats to ensure medals while rounding up thousands of dissidents and throwing them into gulags for indefinite periods. Good sportsmanship indeed!

Robert,
How funny that you mention Ram Dass (or not, perhaps): When I started reading your column and listening to your podcasts, Ram Dass is exactly of whom I thought. A lot of what you say (and the way you say it) resonates in the same way for me.
Amazing man.
Peace,
Annette

Hi Annette - Ram Dass is also an Aries, so I suppose we have some things in common. This life I have been privileged to produce events that raised a lot of money for Seva Foundation which allowed me to hang with him in person. I deeply love his compassion, honesty, humor, and directness. His/Its work is remarkable, and yes, he's truly an amazing man.
