Today: Recruiting allies – from the I Ching
One cannot successfully seek justice alone. It requires a collective, organized effort by people aligned in their needs and goals in order to oppose oppression, injustice and any threat to their wellbeing. Recruiting allies in such an endeavor is like building an army. Continue reading “Today: Recruiting allies – from the I Ching”

Today: Enduring union – from the I Ching
Enduring union is characterized by a constant movement and renewal that is not worn down by hindrances, but rather relies on the immutable laws of nature upon which the union is based. Marriage is such a union, with vows that last to the death. The United States is such a union, based on unalienable rights. Continue reading “Today: Enduring union – from the I Ching”

Today: Let it happen – from the I Ching
Let it happen. Yesterday’s reading indicated that a breakthrough is near. It has not happened yet. Until then, oppressive powers are on the march and are nearing their zenith. Misfortune has reached its peak. Once complete the occupants of seats of power will begin to break the structures of power and themselves. It cannot be avoided. Let it happen. It is wise to submit and avoid action. Continue reading “Today: Let it happen – from the I Ching”
Today: on the cusp; fearlessly use your natural attraction and influence – from the I Ching
A breakthrough is in the works. Even though outwardly we appear to be in a time of grave danger, have no fear. You can ride it out. It is a time when inferior people gradually begin to disappear. Their influence is on the wane; as a result of resolute action, a change in conditions occurs, a break-through. Continue reading “Today: on the cusp; fearlessly use your natural attraction and influence – from the I Ching”

Today: Heal what has been spoiled by neglect – from the I Ching
You didn’t cause it, but you can help to sweep away corruption and stagnation that has been allowed to develop by those who have gone before you. In doing so, you will need the help of others. Through your own radiance and strength of spirit, inspire others to take up the cause to right the wrongs and together purify the consciousness of your community. Speak gently and subtly and allow your intentions to be carried on the wind.
“The strength of the man does not lie in what he has…” Yogi Bhajan
“The strength of the man does not lie in what he has, but what he can give. Only those can give who have the capacity to tap into the Universe. If the Universe is not in your mind, your heart cannot give.” Yogi Bhajan

Today: Reconciling differences – from the I Ching
Differences seem irreconcilable. What should be understood is that differences of individuality are internal and need not preclude coming together over external matters that affect both parties. Through minimal discourse small things may be resolved even if great undertakings may not succeed given the climate of divergent views. What precludes any progress toward reaching agreement is the notion of each party that the other is the enemy. Continue reading “Today: Reconciling differences – from the I Ching”
