“In order to dissolve the barriers between people in a state of tribalism and disunity, the ego must go.” – a reading from the I Ching

In order to dissolve the barriers between people in a state of tribalism and disunity, the ego must go.  Starting with each individual, a turn toward selfless service will catch on.  That message will be self evident as it is carried on the wind.
See today’s quote from Yogi Bhajan.

#59, line 3, #57

Walls meant to protect have instead separated and isolated.
Your defenses have kept you apart from those whom you most need to touch.
Whatever the reason for discord between you, it is time to lay down your arms.
Dispel the inflexible demands and fears of the Mind so that you may reunite in the Heart.
If you have begrudged, forgive.
If you have torn down, repair.
If you have injured, heal.
If you have judged, pardon.
If you have grasped, let go.
His ego dissolves and the void is filled with his Self.
No more fear and frustration.
Gentle persuasion is the key in this instance.
Though the words are soft, their speaker must be firm, calm and confident.
Gentle words are worthless if spoken with trepidation.
Wordless influence by example is also effective in this situation.
All persuasion should be almost unfelt, yet consistent and persistent.
Ask for feedback from someone you know to be an effective persuader.
