“What is greatness? Greatness is when you have found that you are not great, but everything else is. When everything else is great and you have experienced that, then everything else holds you in its esteem.” Yogi Bhajan

Today: “The mind is not subject to time and place. The mind cannot be subject to time and place, but there is a relationship of mind and body.” – Yogi Bhajan
“The mind is not subject to time and place. The mind cannot be subject to time and place, but there is a relationship of mind and body. If you have the technical know-how and you use that technique, mind and body can become one. The moment you can bring mind and body into one, then there is only one alternative left. When mind and body become one, then universality and creativity of the self can be recognized. This is very important.” Yogi Bhajan

“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
 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 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.

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

Meditation: NM0337-Bujung Kriya – For Wisdom and Understanding
Today: “God is not living on the seventh story and no lift goes to him. God is you, He is your expression.” – Yogi Bhajan
“God is not living on the seventh story and no lift goes to him. God is you, He is your expression. He is your identity in existence. That is why God is everywhere. Because wherever you are, God is. Because wherever you generate, organize, and destroy, it is a fraction of the same that is already prevailing in universal man. Therefore, we can conclude that man is the image, or the finite activity, of the universal activity in operation.” Yogi Bhajan
On Gangs
Sometimes, good people, even if they are religious, can fall prey to the desire to dominate and control others, for a variety of reasons. It’s not sinful that they have those desires.
If they act on them, directly, or indirectly, it’s another matter.
Directly, a person may act to manifest some very selfish intention. In this case, that person may be visible and identified as the perpetrator of that act to anyone who witnesses the act. The perpetrator may then be held personally to account. Then, there is an obvious cost for acting in that way.
Indirectly, a person may “hire” someone or something that they can hide behind to do their bidding in order to fulfill their desire. This tactic may provide personal distance from the consequences of actions perpetrated by the surrogate. They approve of the behavior and eagerly anticipate the result of the actions. This is an age old tactic that mob bosses and other gangsters use to provide “plausible deniability” for “the boss” while the deed is carried out.
In another case, a group of people, well organized with a social identity, is formed by members who desire power and control along with personal anonymity. They may wish that their intentions remain secret. This is sometimes known as a cult.
In a most extreme case, one plan is to hire a “demon” with sufficient means to carry out their selfish intentions. Having that kind of representation, members can defend their actions by claiming “it’s not I who did that”. When the actions are identified and called out and retribution is called for, then “yes, he’s a demon, but he’s my demon” and “I will protect him”. “It’s still more comfortable to me, and safer, that he does those things than I do those things”.
A problem with this plan is that the above declarations imply that a part, perhaps a significant part, of the members’ personal identity is given up to the alternative identity of the group. The group becomes an alter ego. To be a member, a person only has to deny one’s own identity in favor of the group identity and look to the group for the fulfillment of desires and protection from external consequences. All of the remaining consequences are then internal.
Another problem with that plan is that the behavior can quickly become nefarious. Demons often cannot be controlled.
Today: “It is easy to be God because you have all the power. But it is more difficult to be a guru because you have no power of a god.” – Yogi Bhajan
“It is easy to be God because you have all the power. But it is more difficult to be a guru because you have no power of a god. When you direct a person in the right consciousness, it becomes the direct clash of the ego with another person.“ Yogi Bhajan
