^From Incompetence to Competence Within Recognized Heritage^

The affronts of fortune are sometimes hard to bear. Have we tried too hard to do something beyond our powers or our current skills and possibilities? No sweat, just regroup and try something else. Incompetence is temporary for someone who is intent on learning. Sepharial says we should "study humility and service of others, and cultivate a proper understanding of [our] aptitudes and powers." There is freedom of spirit despite any "hardship or privation." If Dear Prudence has abandoned us for a while and we "lie upon a heap of stones by the roadside," we could remain content through natural simplicity of spirit.

Or, if we take a different tack and get angry with the world, we could be disagreeable fault-finders. "Two bulls fighting" may forget what the quarrel was about, intent on being victorious. Hypercriticism is the other side of the coin of hypocrisy. We may assume that we are upholding some national, ideological, partisan or tribal right. "A flag turns into an eagle that crows." Maybe it is good to identify with a group and be its hero, but there remain ethical adjustments to make if we unwittingly advocate unfairness.

Who is the idealized leader you believe in? Many are considering that in view of the U. S. primary season almost upon us. "A shepherd on the mountain top with crook in hand looking to find his sheep" could be candidates in Iowa looking for voters. Of course it is also Donald Trump and his rallies. Sol is in this degree today and Charubel says it indicates "one who, by reason of his superior powers and advantageous position in life, will be called to be a leader and a commander of a society, a community, or perchance a nation, in the capacity of president." "This ruler will be a ruler indeed." Who is that? The question of the day for Americans. Charubel also advises us to consider "a spacious park with a baronial mansion in the background" and says that this is something our ancestors have bequeathed to us. This could, for you, be a homestead you remember from your childhood, no matter how humble; or a park or building you utilize. We use what we have and thus are fitted for more.
