Today: Refuse the fruit offered by the serpent

Oppressors are attempting to seize power, violently, if necessary.  It is a situation of which many people are totally unaware.  When fruit offered by the serpent is refused, the snake swallows its own tail and the light is restored.  The main point is to remain grounded in reality and develop intuition so that subterfuge can be recognized and the damage it causes be avoided. There is nothing to be done other than to be aware and to look into one’s personal blind spots using the tools that we have been given.

I Ching: Today

The power of a teacher of Kundalini Yoga is in his zero…

SSSYWa“The power of a teacher of Kundalini Yoga is in his zero, in his shuniya. In shuniya you become zero, you reduce everything to nothing: “I am nothing. Everything is nothing. There’s nothing to be nothing.” The moment you become that, then everything radiates from you.” Yogi Bhajan

(via Ram Anand)

index fingertips very tightly against each other and chant, “Sat Naam, Sat Naam, Sat Naam Jee, Wah-hay, Wah-hay Guroo, Wah-hay Guroo Jee” with the instrumental tape “Duni.”

Today: You are the change – from the I Ching

You are the change that is called for. Read the Signs of the Times* and make the Season apparent to all.  Report the real abuse of power and oppression of the small by the powerful. You must rely on a strong personal foundation. Trust what you know because you will have to bring about this necessary change alone.  You cannot count on support among your peers, so you must summon the courage to move in the face of opposition.  Then you will be believed.

On Oneness and Division – Yogi Bhajan

You know each other, because you were all born in the same time and space as a batch of the third millennium. No matter where we live—we have all come to the planet Earth. You know that you are here. Do you accept that everyone knows everyone? Do you ever go up to someone and say “Hi, you are here, I am here!” without knowing the person’s name? Whenever dealing with people, remember you are here along with everyone else all of the time.

Today: Day of Reckoning – from the I Ching

Shock and thunder from the heavens bring a reckoning and justice.  They can bring distraction from reflection and clarity of vision to the point of insanity.  The best thing is to keep still until composure and clarity are restored. If you can give distance to the sources of agitation, you can remain free of mistakes and injury though you may be derided by those around you.  Then you will be passed over as justice has its due.

I Ching: Today

Ego is the very capacity to be finite…

 SSSYWa“Ego is the very capacity to be finite. You say, “I am. These are my things. This is my life. Nobody can tell me anything. I’ll do whatever I want to do.” In the end it confines you tremendously and tragically. You give no attention to your destiny and lose perspective.

Today: Peace and Prayer – from the I Ching

Today, the small departs and the great approaches.  Expect good fortune and success.  For now, heaven and earth have united, so it is a good and powerful time for prayer and advancing peace.  It is a good time to elevate ourselves and those around us through our word. It is a good time to forget differences and divisions and release our expectations of others. The greatly blessed and less fortunate, powerful and humble can come together in unity with the greatness within us and project our divinity into the world.

Today: Fear and trembling – from the I Ching

The thunder of the day is shocking.  Fear and trembling.  Forget the words. Forget the expressed opinions and preferences and the scenarios they offer.

Always be filled with reverence at the manifestation of God, setting your life in order and searching your heart, lest you harbor any secret opposition to the will of God. Thus reverence is the foundation of true culture.

Meditation: Know the Psyche of the Other

Yogi Bhajan – unknown date

Grasp the left thumb with the right hand, and place the  hands on your lap.  Close your eyes. After a few moments, feel the sensation of your nose becoming inverted, So that the tip of your nose is between the eyes, and the bridge of the nose is at the bottom.

Today: The Matrix of Us – from the I Ching

What is always with us and within us is the collective psyche of whom we identify with.  That’s we, just as the soul is I.  In Western terms (Jung) it is the collective unconscious. In yogic tradition it is interconnectedness through our subtle bodies.  Enjoy the times that bring a strong perception of common awareness with our brothers and sisters.  That is now.

Meditation Merge with the consciousness of others.
