Standing In the Sacred Hoop Of The People!

Friend, do it this way.

When you stand in the Sacred Hoop of the People,

you must to be responsible

because you does not stand-alone.

Many others stand behind you,

depending on you, praying for your success.

Not only your living relatives but also

those who have gone on to the spiritual world

and those who are yet unborn;

all of these stand with you.

And so when you stand in the Sacred Hoop of the People,

you must be responsible.

And when you has need and wants to serve the People

you must ask for what you need

with a pure heart of the Creator.

And when you ask what you need to serve the People,

You must have no trace of doubt

that what you has asked

will be given to you

according to your needs.

Then exactly as you have asked,

that is the way it will be.
