Today: Fellowship and friendship, again – from the I Ching
Fellowship and friendship has turned into division and mistrust. Use whatever occasion will serve to gather together in common cause. Start with the family.
“This is the day to call upon yourself …” Yogi Bhajan
“This is the day to call upon yourself – beyond politics, beyond social, personal, sensual, sexual, all needs – to understand: you have to serve and you have to lead to surround all other humans to uplift their souls.” Yogi Bhajan

Today: Focus on the family, be still – from the I Ching
Focus on the family in your actions and words. Beware of their impact. Always remember the love that you hold for the family and they will trust you. Find silence within and contemplate your closest relations and the immediate situation. That will resonate in its own way in its own time far beyond that narrow scope.
“Human love is for one thing only…” Yogi Bhajan
“Human love is for one thing only: to love your soul. Then the Infinite world around you will be in love with you. Yogi Bhajan

Today: Overcome fantasy with discipline – from the I Ching
Fill in the gaps in your experience through your discipline. Rather than entangling yourself with empty imaginings, give yourself the opportunity to have a real experience. Yesterday’s reading gave an example of keeping it real. Turn your devotion to a discipline of yoga and meditation. Don’t read too much into what’s happening. Simply experience it inside through your raw perception. Increasing your awareness in this way, you will begin to align yourself with the reality of what is going on and allow you to participate in the cosmic dance.

Today: The key to shining brightly is through the family – from the I Ching
On the Winter Solstice
All influence must start from within and work outwardly. Yesterday it was noted that your should maintain your light in a very dark time. How best to do that? Your personal radiance, your greatest asset, comes from within, from your self. Working closely with your inner circle (family), your radiance propogates through its identity into the world at large. Your words and actions thus become powerful. Continue reading “Today: The key to shining brightly is through the family – from the I Ching”

Today: Maintain your light in a very dark time – from the I Ching
Maintain your inner light in a very dark time. Do not let your resoluteness be shaken. Do not distinguish yourself with bold behavior. Knowing the source of the darkness, dissociate from it. Don’t struggle with it. Resist, but don’t try to defeat it directly. The dark power is at its zenith and will, in time, depart, as noted yesterday.

Today: The stage is set for a breakthrough – from the I Ching
Resoluteness sets the stage for a breakthrough. Just as yesterday the reading stated that things must take their course, the overall movement is toward the waning of influence of inferior people. When we worry about a situation where self-serving people have seized power, the source of that concern tends to be an uncertainty about the resoluteness that will be required to break the stranglehold. There are rules for that to happen. Continue reading “Today: The stage is set for a breakthrough – from the I Ching”

Today: Gradual development; things must take their course – from the I Ching
Proper development in the established course is important. There is no need to rush it or provoke an outcome. Only perservere.
The text reads:
“…the essential factor is a correct way of development through cultivation of one’s own personality. No influence such as that exerted by agitators has a lasting effect.
Within the personality too, development must follow the same course if lasting results are to be achieved. Gentleness that is adaptable, but at the same time penetrating, is the outer form that should proceed from inner calm.
The very gradualness of the development makes it necessary to have perseverance, for perseverance alone prevents slow progress from dwindling to nothing.”
“We love our discipline more than our own life…” Yogi Bhajan
“We love our discipline more than our own life and deal with the world as a whole. We walk tall and talk tall, as exclusive, straightforward and truthful human beings.” Yogi Bhajan

Today: Move on – from the I Ching
When you have done what you can, move on. When you find yourself in new and strange situations, be cautious and reserved. Focus on what is close around you. Seek only good places to be and people to associate with. Then you can go your way unmolested and enjoy good fortune.
