Subject

^Honest is a ^Super mode of ^MESS and a mode of ^MESH that may ^Follow from ^When we ^Practice to ^Choose after we ^Learn to ^Become ^Trustful.  From this ~process~ to ^Choose and ^Care, ~communication~ is ~born~. 

For those ^Who don't ^Know ^How to ^Teach others ^How to ^Dance ^Like them.  That is you!  Yet you got the right stuff, I ^Know it! 

This is the ^First ~point~ on the ~PATH~ that must have its predecessor (~trustful~) to ^Develop itself in us ^Properly.  Don't ^Aim to ^Develop ~honesty~ nor ^Worry about its ~lack~ until we are ~trustful~.  And ~as~ an extra ~benefit~, this is the ^First ~point~ to ^Develop with ~duality~ on the ~PATH~.  ^As we ^Learn ^Honesty in tandem we ^Improve ~gratitude~.  That also may ^Make it a ^Half-or-double lift ^When we don't ^Start with ~gratitude~.  So ^When our ~effort~ doesn't ^Make us ^Honest, ^Focus instead on ^Gratitude so we may ^Gain ~power~ to ^Be ^Honest ^Later. 

We may ^Notice that our ~honesty~ is situational.  Sometimes we have ^No ~problem~ to do it and sometimes it is a ~challenge~.  Our ^Honesty or ~lack~ thereof may ^Happen to ^Vary and ^Surprise us quite often, because we ^Hold each ~mind~ and ~relation~ it has for others and our world but we ^Hold neither an ^Equal ~share~ nor a ^Mutual ~point~ to ^Move therein. 

Some ~parts~ of our ~mind~ are on ^Different ~parts~ of the ~PATH~ than other ~parts~ of it.  ^What are we, spiders?  Our fingers are little spiders that crawl out the ~information~ in our heads ~as~ we gesture, ^Write, swipe or type and this is ^How it is with ~honesty~.  We ^Attend to every ~topic~ in ~turn~, so we may ^Grow the ~honesty~ of it in those ~parts~ of our ~mind~. 

Our ~mind~ is ~as~ the ~wind~; we don't ^Know from whence it may ^Come nor whither it may ^Go except in ~part~.  Yet despite the ~chaos~ of its ~form~ we may ^Learn to ^Be ^Honest in each ~part~ of our ~mind~ and in ~relation~ to others and to our world.  And in the ~beauty~ therefrom we ^Find the luxury of ~communication~. 

We have ~food~ and ~aid~ for our ~body~.  ^Likewise we ^Need ~strength~ to ^Become ^Honest in ~mind~. 

^As we ^Become ^More ^Honest with ourselves and, to others and our world, we ^Move toward ^Moderate ~agency~ ^Among ourselves, others and our world.  So, ^Less ~agency~ from ^When it is at a ~maximum~, and ^More ~agency~ from ^When it is at a ~minimum~.  Do you ^See ^How?  ^Honesty also may ^Grant ^Moderate ~independence~, ^Likewise. 

Target

Anytime. 

Anytime it is missing. 

Anytime we ^Notice we ^Feel unable to ^Be ^Helpful. 

Anytime we are ^Trustful and have ^Sufficient ~strength~ to ^Try.
