Today: “Unity in the social structure is not the same as tribalism. ” – from the I Ching

Unity in the social structure is not the same as tribalism.

“The clan holds tightly, armed against outsiders.
This inbreeds fear and cruelty, which can only give birth to strife and extinction.”

Unity is inclusive, not exclusive.

Tribalism must once and for all be discredited and abandoned.  The destiny for tribalism is extinction.  The destiny for unity is freedom and abundance.

#13, line 2, #43

Heaven reflects the Flame of clarity:
The Superior Person analyzes the various levels and working parts of the social structure, and uses them to advantage.

Success if you keep to your course.
You may cross to the far shore.

This is a matter of Positioning — not only yourself, but others as well.
There are niches to be filled, potentials to be realized, right livelihoods to be found.
You are not building a new organization, but shoring up an existing infrastructure.
It’s worth the effort, because it will provide union, community, and an ironclad alliance.

The clan holds tightly, armed against outsiders.
This inbreeds fear and cruelty, which can only give birth to strife and extinction.

A Deluge from Heaven:
The Superior Person rains fortune upon those in need, then moves on with no thought of the good he does.

The issue must be raised before an impartial authority.
Be sincere and earnest, despite the danger.
Do not try to force the outcome, but seek support where needed.
Set a clear goal.

Your iron will must come to the forefront now.
It will take great personal determination to resolve the situation in question.
Your adversary would love to force you into an angry display.
That would legitimize his opposition to you.
Such a berserker rage would drag you down to his level.
You must resolutely take a public stand against what he represents, but refuse to engage him.
Without compromise, you show others the way to higher ground.


 

Today: “Why find God? Where is God? Is He on holiday? Whatever happened to Him?” – Yogi Bhajan

“Why find God? Where is God? Is He on holiday? Whatever happened to Him? If you realize that God is omniscient, omnipresent, and omnipotent, then you must forget finding Him. You have already found Him. He is in you and you are in Him. But if you have no real connection with Him in that way, then keep on searching and I can guarantee that you will never find Him.” Yogi Bhajan
