Today: ”Come together to know the goals of humanity and then carry them out” – a reading from the I Ching

Come together to know the goals of humanity and then carry them out.  When inner clarity combines with outward strength, anything is possible.

Read the text from Richard Wilhelm's and subsequent translations of the I Ching

#13
True fellowship among men must be based on a concern that is universal. It is not the private interests of the individual that create lasting fellowship among men, but rather the goals of humanity. That is why it is said that fellowship with men in the open succeeds. If unity of this kind prevails, even difficult and dangerous tasks, such as crossing the great water, can be accomplished. But in order to bring about this sort of fellowship, a persevering and enlightened leader is needed – a man with clear, convincing, and inspiring aims and the strength to carry them out. (The inner trigram means clarity; the outer, strength.)

Today: I Ching – Previous Readings

Today: “When you fold hands, you neutralize yourself energywise, and when you bow, your whole blood circulation goes toward the head.” – Yogi Bhajan

“When you fold hands, you neutralize yourself energywise, and when you bow, your whole blood circulation goes toward the head. When the magnetic field is neutral and the circulation goes to the head, the brain functions very well, even the dullest brain starts, becomes bright and active; that’s why in India, it was a custom that when you went to meet your great master or guru or beloved yogi, it was customary to bow to him and it was customary until he tapped on your back that you did not lift your head. What the great gurus used to do was when somebody came and bowed to them, they would take a friend and go on a long walk, and come back after six hours. If the person was still there, they would come and tap his back. They would say, “How are you?” He would say, “I am enlightened.” Naturally, six hours, six hours in that position could enlighten a dead person.” Yogi Bhajan
