Personal I Ching readings

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

#26, line 2, #52

Heaven’s motherlode waits within the Mountain:
The Superior Person mines deep into history’s wealth of wisdom and deeds, charging his character with timeless strength.

Persevere.
Drawing sustenance from these sources creates good fortune.
Then you may cross to the far shore.

There are important precedents in this situation.
Others have trodden this Path before you, overcoming the same obstacles facing you now, and making crucial decisions at the same crossroads.
Study their journals, watch for their trail markings.
Gain inspiration and wisdom from the heroes and learn from the mistakes of those who chose a sidepath.
All were Seekers, explorers whose daring mapped a course you can follow.
The words and deeds of the finest can imbue you with the courage necessary to face what lies before you.

The axles have been removed from your cart.
Good reason to remain in place for the moment.

Above this Mountain’s summit another more majestic rises:
The Superior Person is mindful to keep his thoughts in the here and now.

Stilling the sensations of the Ego, he roams his courtyard without moving a muscle, unencumbered by the fears and desires of his fellows.
This is no mistake.

There is a higher vantage point available to you, but it is obscured by the visible peak of personal ambition.
To climb to this higher plane, you must shake off the desires and fears of the conscious, visible world around you.
To make this journey you must quiet the Ego, empty your mind of past and future, and dwell totally in the moment at hand.
Thorough mindfulness of what is before you is the only tranquility.
Be. Here. Now.. .

Today: “It is not everybody’s karma to learn everything.” Yogi Bhajan

“It is not everybody’s karma to learn everything. If all reached Godhood, then what would happen to the creation? God would be perturbed. God loves everybody. He is not in a hurry. He has no jealousy, no ego, no involvement. He has created this whole universe, given the body, let all enjoy. God is not in a hurry for you all to have salvation, for all to come and hug Him. He knows where you are and what you are doing. Whether you do it in private or in public, it is one and the same thing to Him. The Unknown knows everything. He is the secret eye of the self and it is in every self.” Yogi Bhajan
