“If you assume you can do it, then you probably can.  Ignore the naysayers; take action without fanfare.” from the I Ching

If you assume you can do it, then you probably can.  Ignore the naysayers; take action without fanfare.

See:   Today: “My job is to share with you knowledge” – Yogi Bhajan

and then this: Tao Te Ching – Verse 21 – The Master keeps her mind always at one with the Tao; that is what gives her her radiance.

See the previous reading:  “As you enjoy the multitude of options before you, you must include the well-being of others in your lofty plans.” from the I Ching

See the previous previous reading: You are beseiged with adversity.  Correct behavior which comes from your heart will allow you to act safely amidst the danger” from the I Ching

Give this a try:  Try any kriya that you see here.  The first one below reflects my recommendation for a practice that will facilitate the advice given by the I Ching today.

The following entries were selected as recommendations from past readings.  If you choose to practice one,  do it for 30 days.  That is the expected time it takes to modify any particular habits or tendencies that the kriya addresses.

If you practice one for 90 days, it will penetrate your subconscious and help you form new habits.

If you practice it for 120 days it will penetrate your unconscious.

If you practice it for 1000 days, you will master it.  It will become a part of your psyche.

15 – Fifteen.  Ch’ien / Modesty

The Mountain does not overshadow the Plain surrounding it:
Such modest consideration in a Superior Person creates a channel through which excess flows to the needy.

Success if you carry things through.

SITUATION ANALYSIS:

The Cosmos is moving toward equilibrium.
Extremes are being tempered, excess is beginning to shift toward the empty.
You can use these moderating influences to strike a balance in the world around you.
Remember, though, that this Leveling will not come about through an arrogant confiscation of excess, but through subtler persuasions.
Modesty and moderation are the keys.

Six at the beginning [yin at bottom] means:

The Superior Person is modest about his modesty, and thus may cross to the far shore.
Good fortune.

A superior man modest about his modesty
May cross the great water.
Good fortune.

A dangerous enterprise, such as the crossing of a great stream, is made much more difficult if many claims and considerations have to be taken into account. On the other hand, the task is easy if it is attended to quickly and simply. Therefore the unassuming attitude of mind that goes with modesty fits a man to accomplish even difficult undertakings: he imposes no demands or stipulations but settles matters easily and quickly. Where no claims are put forward, no resistances arise.

36 – Thirty-Six.  Ming I / Eclipsing the Light

Warmth and Light are swallowed by Deep Darkness:
The Superior Person shows his brilliance by keeping it veiled among the masses.

Stay true to your course, despite the visible obstacles ahead.

SITUATION ANALYSIS:

This time calls for a saintly effort to turn the other cheek.
You have been deliberately injured.
Going blow-for-blow will only escalate this war.
Abstain from vengeance.
Show all watching that you are above it.
Sidestep your aggressor’s headlong charge, giving him the opportunity to fall on his face.
