Follow what is true. You will find that it becomes irresistible. Once you awaken to truth you cannot unknow it.
See: Today: “I see you all in only one way. I see divine everywhere. ” – Yogi Bhajan
and then this: Tao Te Ching – Verse 14 – Look, and it can’t be seen. Listen, and it can’t be heard. Reach, and it can’t be grasped.
See the previous reading: Today: “Punishment and other forms of aggression are only justified to rectify a transgression and resotre order. It is an atrocity when used to control behavior.” from the I Ching
See the previous previous reading: Today: “Apply yourself to your chosen path, or engage idle distractions. It’s your choice. You know what the wisdom of the ages tells you.” 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.
For today:

17 – Seventeen. Sui / Following
Thunder beneath the Lake’s surface.
The Superior Person allows himself plenty of sheltered rest and recuperation while awaiting a clear sign to follow.
Supreme success.
No mistakes if you keep to your course.
SITUATION ANALYSIS:
Thunder from the Lake — the lulling, rhythmic roar of the faithful tide, eternally wearing away the stone of the shoreline, forever obedient to the phases of the moon.
The pull of the moon on the tide is the Following called for now.
As mighty as the tide is in its own right, it is ever the puppet of the invisible, irresistible gravity of the moon.
What cyclical forces pull you along?
Are you futilely attempting to resist a natural attraction?

The trigram Tui, the Joyous, whose attribute is gladness, is above; Chên, the Arousing, which has the attribute of movement, is below. Joy in movement induces following. The Joyous is the youngest daughter, while the Arousing is the eldest son. An older man defers to a young girl and shows her consideration. By this he moves her to follow him.
THE JUDGEMENT FOLLOWING has supreme success. In order to obtain a following one must first know how to adapt oneself. If a man would rule he must first learn to serve, for only in this way does he secure from those below him the joyous assent that is necessary if they are to follow him. If he has to obtain a following by force or cunning, by conspiracy or by creating factions, he invariably arouses resistance, which obstructs willing adherence. But even joyous movement can lead to evil consequences, hence the added stipulation, “Perseverance furthers” – that is, consistency in doing right – together with “No blame.” Just as we should not ask others to follow us unless this condition is fulfilled, so it is only under this condition that we can in turn follow others without coming to harm.

THE IMAGE Thunder in the middle of the lake: In the autumn electricity withdraws into the earth again and rests. Here it is the thunder in the middle of the lake that serves as the image – thunder in its winter rest, not thunder in motion. The idea of following in the sense of adaptation to the demands of the time grows out of this image. Thunder in the middle of the lake indicates times of darkness and rest. Similarly, a superior man, after being tirelessly active all day, allows himself rest and recuperation at night. No situation can become favorable till one is able to adapt to it and does not wear himself out with mistaken resistance. |
