Small things may be done, big things should not be done. Lying low with modesty will bring surprisingly good fortune. If you seek help from competent sources with proven records rather than high profile personalities then you will succeed. Continue reading “Today: Lying low attracts success”
“You depend on the mind, but you cannot rely on it. It takes a thought and magnifies it, twists it left and right, and creates many short cuts, illusions, dreams, and temptations. It creates a mirage, and asks you to walk on it! Continue reading ““You depend on the mind, but you cannot rely on it…”
Rain fortune upon those in need, then move on with no thought of the good you do. You may accomplish anything you set out to do.
“Perhaps you do not understand one fundamental fact: you, as a living consciousness, are subject to time and space. It takes time to do something, and it requires space to do it in. But the mind by nature is faster than time and space. This is a split.” Yogi Bhajan

GEORGE WASHINGTON’S PRAYER FOR THE UNITED STATES
Almighty God: We make our earnest prayer that Thou wilt keep the United States in Thy holy protection; that Thou wilt incline the hearts of the citizens to cultivate a spirit of subordination and obedience to government: and entertain a brotherly affection and love for one another and for theirfellow citizens of the United States at large.
And finally that Thou wilt most graciously be pleased to dispose us all to do justice, to love mercy, and to demean ourselves with that charity, humility, and pacific temper of mind which were the characteristics of the Divine Author of our blessed religion, and without a humble imitation of whose example in these things we can never hope to be a happy nation.
Grant our supplication, we beseech Thee, throughJesus Christ our Lord.
Amen

“Every normal person thinks, imagines, and projects through the mind. You ultimately identify with your mind and become dependent on the mind. The reality is that you should not depend on your mind. Instead, you should project from the point of view of your consciousness.” Yogi Bhajan
