Ram Dass – “As you dissolve into love, your ego fades. You’re not thinking about loving, you’re just being love, radiating like the sun.”
Now – the path is to realize what love is – yes, it is that which happens between people for whom strong identification happens – but that has a strong element of ego in it, though it also transcends ego. Love means connection – and connection is the extension of consciousness to include that which objectively is separate from ourselves, yet in loving extension, the experience of self now includes that which is being perceived. Love happens from the heart, and heart-energy is where form and consciousness energy are equal and since it is not mind-energy, there is no ego in it. Look about you – open your heart – love the trees and the birds, the clouds in the sky, those you pass by, EVERYTHING. This is the ecstatic life, the mystic’s life. It is how we can radiate like the sun, lighting upon everything, and is how we are truly meant to live.
Thoughts on identity and you being you
You being you is the greatest gift you can give to the world. It is God who gave it.
This is the foundation for putting Yogi Bhajan’s teachings into practice. It is not a matter of belief. It is a matter of connecting with reality, i.e., you becoming you. You are real. God is real. Both become real in your awareness when there is no separation.
The first and sufficient assertion on the matter is “Ek Ong Kar”. God and God’s creation are one. God created the universe and did not separate from it.
Our personal application of that assertion is “Ang Sang Waheguru”. “God in me, me and God are one“. Look for God inside you, not outside you. Merging that reality in your perception is the personal manifestation of Ek Ong Kar.
We have sufficient technology to extend our temporal existence to a rich experience. Here are a few kriyas that address this topic.

“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.

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.
Love – the Common Element
Traveling the world over and over, Gurmukh Kaur Khalsa expresses the common denominator of her experience.
|
Sat Nam Divine Ones, Through the Grace of God, we have traveled and taught for the past ten days on the East Coast of the United States. Returning home last night to peaceful Taos, New Mexico, I have come to know the importance in the world of the elements: earth, air, fire, water, and ether. These elements feel so imbalanced these days, especially in cities. Everyday, alive and with breath, I am realizing more and more the only thing that will keep this world intact is Love. This may sound corny – however how many of us have forgotten this aspect? Love is the most important element! I have been witness to so much love in all of the gatherings where we were teaching. Walking down the streets in New York City, in a quiet retreat at Omega in upstate New York, at Sat Nam Fest East in the Berkshires in Massachusetts, and everywhere in between via planes, trains, and automobiles the common demoninator is Love. While sitting in community with thousands of people or with a handful of people, we gather around the dining tables. We eat a meal together. We catch up, we talk about babies, families, life and death and again I experienced the common denominator bringing us together is Love. I believe Love is the only commonality to heal and replenish everyone’s lives. I urge all of us, including myself, to meditate on just one word: Love. Love is not a catchy new word, a brand name, a bandwidth, an event, a new Netlix series, a new product that promises health and longevity for all, nor a pharmaceutical medicine. Love stands alone above all there is. I ask you as we go forward in this complicated world to meditate on this word: Love. That’s all. Through the meditation may our actions and our lives will be infused with Love. God Bless you all!

Meditation: M103 – 19941218 – To Call on Your Impersonal
You have Personal, Impersonal, and Self. If you call on your Impersonal, you will have tons of energy. If you call on your personal, you will be depressed. You should have that power, whenever you are facing circumstances to call on your Impersonal. Impersonal is You beyond you, and personal is you within the realm of your own knowledge.

Musings on Grace and Gratitude
The more that we bring up gratitude, the more that seems to be the only important thing about our relating with life — not belief, not comfort. The greatest grace that we have received as humans is exactly that capacity for gratitude. We have been blessed with the best teachers and the most sacred teachings…all just to realize that quality of gratitude in us. Gratitude promotes the alchemical transformation of our experience into compassion, which does not have any limit, which is Infinite.
How could we be intolerant of anyone who is limited by ignorance? refuse people the grace that they lack? cling tightly to what we have in unlimited abundance? begrudge people their limited existence?
Everything we see and everyone we look at reminds us of how we do not suffer and shows us the grace that we can share. Freedom is internal, not circumstantial. We are bound in this life to our karma, as is everyone. At least we can experience and savor every moment and every thing that are the gifts of time and space.
Look at people who are walking in the street. Where are they going? What is important? It all depends. That’s grace.
Remember the saying: “There, but for the grace of God, go I”?
You are a product of God’s Grace to the world. Remember that.

Wisdom – Open the Capillaries: take a cold, cold shower first thing in the morning – Yogi Bhajan
So the best way to open capillaries, is get under cold shower LA and water is not cold enough. New York, New Mexico, (?) and what is that? There is a story and I will cut short that, somebody was very sick, he came to Guru Ji, he said, “You know, I am very sick, I don’t know what to do, I am dying.”
He said, “Go to Ganges and do six months there prayer.”
He said, “Thank you.”
So somehow (?) he reached the Hardwar, water comes, you know, ice cold, so the ceremony is, you go into the Ganga, Har Har Ganga, you sit, you come out, 108 time, you have to do that, so each time you go in, you massage his body, you come up, six months later, he was just a (?), everything was fine. Because hydrotherapy still (?) exercise. So all capillaries get opened, blood rushes from inside, outside, skin became bright and beautiful, all organs went right, Har Har Ganga was the way of life and he was very healthy.
He came to Guru Ji, he said, “I am very good.”
I said, “That’s normal.”
Now at home, take the same way the bath and the ladies who have breast cancer are going to get the breast cancer and get mammogram and this gram (?). Stand before the shower, cold shower and massage your breast so the circulatory blood may change and capillaries may remain open, you shall not be touched disease cannot even touch you. If all body’s capillary (?). Just remember, those few minutes of cold shower and body massage, there is a system to it, in hydrotherapy we say, you go under the shower and it’s very cold and then you take all the body out, come back. Massage your body, massage it with your, it’s a hydro massage we call it and go under again, it will be less cold this time. Finally, you know the fifth time, you can stand under the same cold shower and you will not feel cold. I can guarantee you. That means, touchwood, you will never get sick.
The Ten Light Bodies
Using the I Ching
The I Ching, or Book of Changes is based on the Tao. The Tao is the fabric of the universe that contains and connects every conceivable and inconceivable aspect and manifestation of consciousness. The Tao itself is undefined.
The primary manifestation of the Tao is comprised of the dynamic state of polarity of yin and yang. It is a system whose universe describes every possible state of existence. It is constantly flowing and changing its balance between the two extreme polarities, total yin (earth) and total yang (heaven).
The I Ching as a book describes a structure that is designed to divine the relative quantities of yin and yang in any moment and circumstance and the tendency for their direction of change. This structure, known as a form is a physical structure developed by mind that links to subtle structures of consciousness.
Through the use of such forms, physical orthogonal mappings of the mind (as produced by reason, relating to time and space as discrete phenomena) can be transformed into transverse experiences that transcend time and space (as produced in the realm of shuniya), resulting in new orthogonal structures that can be perceived by the mind and the senses. Using a form to produce a transverse experience in this way is called divination. Divining using the form of the I Ching produces an answer to a question. Engaging the I Ching or any form that produces a transverse experience requires intuition to facilitate the experience. Intuition is a byproduct of living in a state of shuniya. Another example of a form that produces a transverse experience is White Tantric Yoga. In this case, the form is facilitated by the intuition of the Mahan Tantric.
The I Ching itself is the ancient Taoist Oracle, which is formless. Its foundation is pure consciousness. One brings form to it by first relating intuitively with the Oracle in the form of a question. Then, performing a physical divining process. Then, assigning the result of the divination to one or two of the set of 64 predefined forms known as hexagrams. Then, consulting narratives provided by a translator of the selected hexagram(s) from original Chinese texts and oral tradition. Finally, interpreting these narratives relative to the original question.
America has lost her marbles and she needs them back
If thirty percent of the mind is experiencing the chaos of insanity, then is the person crazy? Maybe, but also maybe some therapy could salvage the whole. That is a rationale for adopting and embracing Humanology, which is not really a thing, but is rather the body of teachings that can be absorbed through the experience of a technology that we can embrace in order to begin to know, and ultimately, reclaim the self. Experience comes from the commitment to a personal daily routine, sadhana, or therapy. We do the meditation, and we get better. The technology was referred to us by my teacher, Yogi Bhajan. It is not a thing! Do not believe it, do it! Continue reading “America has lost her marbles and she needs them back”
Yogi Bhajan’s things to eat
Things to eat.
Normally, a milk and black pepper boiled is not a good human taste, but it is best thing for the pituitary.
There are certain things you have to start learning to drink very often. One is ginger, black pepper boiled in a milk, you ought to, you got to, you have to; that’ll be part of human diet for the rest of the two thousand years! Yes, it won’t change, otherwise you won’t survive. Your pituitary will refuse to act if the penial does not get what it wants. You need extra nerve energy, you need extra purification, you need to get rid of the allergies and there are only two things which can save you from this.
Garlic you eat lot of time but you shall be eating garlic as a full-fledged vegetable because the capacity of the time has gone so fast that you earthlings have to prepare yourselves to match to it. So three roots-garlic, ginger, and onion you have to have.
Those who are going to India, I am telling them ‘eat as many raw onions now, otherwise you will get Delhi belly, you will be just a liability, going to bathroom all the time, there is nothing I can do, water will change, mineral will change, bacteria will change, you will be gone. All in out, out-house but if you just start taking onions now, raw onions and you will be fine. I have to do it myself, you have to do it yourself. I used to think it won’t happen to me but I have become a American now, I went to Mexico this time I came back, it was same thing; I said, “Wow, got it.”

Sorat’h, Fifth Mehl, First House, Ashtapadees: One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru: The One who created the whole world, O Siblings of Destiny, is the Almighty Lord, the Cause of causes. He fashioned the soul and the body, O Siblings of Destiny, by His own power. How can He be described? How can He be seen, O Siblings of Destiny? The Creator is One; He is indescribable. Praise the Guru, the Lord of the Universe, O Siblings of Destiny; through Him, the essence is known. ||1|| O my mind, meditate on the Lord, the Lord God. He blesses His servant with the gift of the Naam; He is the Destroyer of pain and suffering. ||Pause|| Everything is in His home, O Siblings of Destiny; His warehouse is overflowing with the nine treasures. His worth cannot be estimated, O Siblings of Destiny; He is lofty, inaccessible and infinite. He cherishes all beings and creatures, O Siblings of Destiny; he continually takes care of them. So meet with the Perfect True Guru, O Siblings of Destiny, and merge in the Word of the Shabad. ||2|| Adoring the feet of the True Guru, O Siblings of Destiny, doubt and fear are dispelled. Joining the Society of the Saints, cleanse your mind, O Siblings of Destiny, and dwell in the Name of the Lord. The darkness of ignorance shall be dispelled, O Siblings of Destiny, and the lotus of your heart shall blossom forth. By the Guru’s Word, peace wells up, O Siblings of Destiny; all fruits are with the True Guru. ||3|| Give up your sense of mine and yours, O Siblings of Destiny, and become the dust of the feet of all. In each and every heart, God is contained, O Siblings of Destiny; He sees, and hears, and is ever-present with us. On that day when one forgets the Supreme Lord God, O Siblings of Destiny, on that day, one ought to die crying out in pain. He is the all-powerful Cause of Causes, O Siblings of Destiny; he is totally filled with all powers. ||4|| The Love of the Name is the greatest treasure, O Siblings of Destiny; through it, emotional attachment to Maya is dispelled. If it is pleasing to His Will, then He unites us in His Union, O Siblings of Destiny; the Naam, the Name of the Lord, comes to abide in the mind. The heart-lotus of the Gurmukh blossoms forth, O Siblings of Destiny, and the heart is illumined. The Glory of God has been revealed, O Siblings of Destiny, and the earth and sky have blossomed forth. ||5|| The Perfect Guru has blessed me with contentment, O Siblings of Destiny; day and night, I remain attached to the Lord’s Love. My tongue continually chants the Lord’s Name, O Siblings of Destiny; this is the true taste, and the object of human life. Listening with my ears, I hear and so I live, O Siblings of Destiny; I have obtained the unchanging, unmoving state. That soul, which does not place its faith in the Lord shall burn, O Siblings of Destiny. ||6|| My Lord and Master has so many virtues, O Siblings of Destiny; I am a sacrifice to Him. He nurtures even the most worthless, O Siblings of Destiny, and gives home to the homeless. He gives us nourishment with each and every breath, O Siblings of Destiny; His Name is everlasting. One who meets with the True Guru, O Siblings of Destiny, does so only by perfect destiny. ||7|| Without Him, I cannot live, even for an instant, O Siblings of Destiny; He is totally filled with all powers. With every breath and morsel of food, I will not forget Him, O Siblings of Destiny; I behold Him ever-present. In the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, I meet Him, O Siblings of Destiny; He is totally pervading and permeating everywhere. Those who do not embrace love for the Lord, O Siblings of Destiny, always die crying out in pain. ||8|| Grasping hold of the hem of His robe, O Siblings of Destiny, we are carried across the world-ocean of fear and pain. By His Glance of Grace, He has blessed us, O Siblings of Destiny; He shall be with us until the very end. My mind and body are soothed and calmed, O Siblings of Destiny, nourished by the food of the Naam. Nanak has entered His Sanctuary, O Siblings of Destiny; the Lord is the Destroyer of sins. ||9||1||
