“I’m no body.  I’m no mind.  I’m no spirit. I’m just the Breath of God, the Breath of Life, Breath of Life, Breath of God.” – Yogi Bhajan

Golden Bridge
Dear Ones, Sat Nam.Please whisper these words from Yogi Bhajan out loud to yourself:

“I’m no body.  I’m no mind.  I’m no spirit.
I’m just the Breath of God, the Breath of Life, Breath of Life, Breath of God.
I’m no body.  I’m no mind.  I’m no spirit.
I’m just the Breath of God, the Breath of Life, Breath of Life, Breath of God.
I’m no body.  I’m  no mind.  I’m no spirit.
I’m just the Breath of God, the Breath of Life, Breath of Life, Breath of God.
I’m no body. I’m no mind.  I’m no spirit.
I’m just the Breath of God, the Breath of Life, Breath of Life, Breath of God.”

I was raised as a Christian in the Midwest of the USA in the 1940s, and I came to love Jesus very very sincerely.

As young children, we can do a lot of things.  Then the intellect takes over, and wants reasoning.  Then we lose to the wayside perhaps some love and perhaps some faith.

When we were little children, we saw many things.  Children see Fairies and Gnomes and lots of Angels.  By the age of seven, most of us left that realm; and the mind took over from scholarly efforts by society and by our parents’ preparing us for the future.

In my house there was a lot of joy and a lot of love.  My father was sick for twelve years with cancer; so my mother had to work, and she had these four kids.  I was the basic housekeeper of our home.  I would dust all the furniture.  I like my living environment to look pretty and tidy.  No one else had the time nor had in their natures that pretty-and-tidy inclination and tendency, which has stayed with me for many years.

Our home with one bathroom for six people was so very small, almost like a dollhouse.  Everything was so small.  Luckily my mother was Sicilian; my father was a slight fellow; and we children were small as well.  I think if we were a large-sized family, we would not have fit in that house at all.

The four of us kids shared one bedroom.  When we reached a certain age, our parents said, “We think there needs to be a wall since we have two boys and two girls.”  In the small bedroom they put up a wall, and thereby there wasn’t enough room for two beds for my sister and myself.  We had a trundle bed wherein one bed fits underneath, and is taken out at night.

Life went on very well.  I was cleaning the house.  When I was dusting the furniture, if I forgot a leg on the chair, that chair leg called me back, “You forgot me!”  Even inanimate objects became real to me.  Children have full-on relationships with their stuffed animals and their stuffed dolls.  They became alive.  That was how it went as a child.

Through Grace of God, many of us still remember all of those times; and perhaps some of those experiences are what have brought us to today.

#31

The name of the hexagram means “universal,” “general,” and in a figurative sense “to influence,” “to stimulate.” The upper trigram is Tui, the Joyous; the lower is Kên, Keeping still. By its persistent, quiet influence, the lower, rigid trigram stimulates the upper, weak trigram, which responds to this stimulation cheerfully and joyously. Kên, the lower trigram, is the youngest son; the upper, Tui, is the youngest daughter. Thus the universal mutual attraction between the sexes is represented. In courtship, the masculine principle must seize the initiative and place itself below the feminine principle.
Just as the first part of book 1 begins with the hexagrams of heaven and earth, the foundations of all that exists, the second part begins with the hexagrams of courtship and marriage, the foundations of all social relationships.

Influence. Success.
Perseverance furthers.
To take a maiden to wife brings good fortune.

The weak element is above, the strong below; hence their powers attract each other, so that they unite. This brings about success, for all success depends on the effect of mutual attraction. By keeping still within while experiencing joy without, one can prevent the joy from going to excess and hold it within proper bounds. This is the meaning of the added admonition, “Perseverance furthers,” for it is perseverance that makes the difference between seduction and courtship; in the latter the strong man takes a position inferior to that of the weak girl and shows consideration for her. This attraction between affinities is a general law of nature. Heaven and earth attract each other and thus all creatures come into being. Through such attraction the sage influences men’s hearts, and thus the world attains peace. From the attractions they exert we can learn the nature of all beings in heaven and on earth.

A lake on the mountain:
The image of influence.
Thus the superior man encourages people to approach him
By his readiness to receive them.

A mountain with a lake on its summit is stimulated by the moisture from the lake. It has this advantage because its summit does not jut out as a peak but is sunken. The image counsels that the mind should be kept humble and free, so that it may remain receptive to good advice. People soon give up counseling a man who thinks that he knows everything better than anyone else.

Today: “The moment the physical collapses and the soul turns from its physical structure to its astral structure, then the mind says “Okay, good-bye. I’ve had enough.”” – Yogi Bhajan

“The moment the physical collapses and the soul turns from its physical structure to its astral structure, then the mind says “Okay, good-bye. I’ve had enough.” Then at that time, if the mind has the power toward infinity, it grabs the soul toward infinity. If it has a finite part, then it leads the soul to that extent. You must remember that the personality is based on your mental self.” Yogi Bhajan
