We were hoping that you would access your new tool kit without our urgings. Such has not been the case for most of you. Do you remember how the first time you used a computer – especially you baby boomers who were familiar with typewriters – the lack of a return lever stymied your early attempts to write a letter? So it is now. Your new tool kit is much more flexible and easy to use than your previous and, we might add, comfortable tool kit.

How do you access your new tool kit? Do you have to read a book, take a course or find a teacher? Of course not. All you have to do is be willing to practice with your new tool kit.

Let us give you some of the basic elements of your tool kit so that you will understand how easy it is for you to use. Listen to your heart/soul/inner being and it will direct you to the path that is correct for you. Listen to your body and it will direct you to the path that is correct for you. Listen to your emotions and they will direct you to the path that is correct for you.

For example, perhaps you are feeling tired. Using your old tool kit such feelings would warrant a nap with little reflection about why you were tired.

Your physical body is not separate from your heart/soul/inner being. Nor is it separate from your emotions. If your physical being is out of balance, your emotions will probably also be off kilter and you will probably have more difficulties hearing your inner messages. It is no longer appropriate to divide your being into three separate entities, anymore than it is appropriate to separate yourself from other entities on earth. All are one. All is one is your tool kit.

It is no longer appropriate to explain away all that happens to you with the need for more sleep or more positive thoughts. It is time to explore your being in its entirety. Ask your being what it needs – that is your key for all emotional, physical and spiritual concerns or questions. Just ask.

Many of you are thinking that such action is too simplistic, that you need another source outside of yourself to fix whatever is ailing you. While such might have been true in the past, it is no longer so. You are now your own mechanic, your own repair person.

You no longer need complicated rituals, books or gurus to heal what ails you. You merely have to ask yourself – and the correct approach, or if you prefer, the correct tool will be provided. Perhaps your repair kit might require sleep, journaling or hundreds of other techniques you are not yet familiar with. Ask and you will receive. Continue to try to direct your recovery, as you did in the Old Age, based on what others told you and you will be stumbling in directions that no longer define your needs.

Perhaps some of you will wish to continue on an Old Age path for security. That is fine and good. It is your right to fight yourself through this transition process and beyond. But if you wish to return to peace within your body, your soul or your emotions, know that you merely have to ask yourself and the correct answer will be provided.

You no longer need a return lever to prepare professional looking documents. Your inner workings are now much more sophisticated. Allow that thought to roll around your  being for a bit of time and then start practicing any day or moment you do not feel comfortable.

We wish to add one small caveat to that last statement. We are not suggesting that you should be cheerful and loving every second of every day or that if you are not, somehow you are not listening correctly. We are instead telling you that you may find a great deal of joy in being angry..or maybe not. Or that your body might need to feel some despair as it moves from the Old Age to the New Age. Only you know for sure what your  being needs.

There are no longer any rules including how you should behave in certain circumstances. Perhaps you need to feel joy at a funeral. Or sadness at a birth. It does not matter what you should feel or how you should act or who others feel you are – it is you. That is, it is you in all your glory if you listen and act on your tool kit of resources.

Ask yourself and ye shall receive – the life you wish to truly live. So be it. Amen.
