Today: “It is right to put yourself in danger for a worthy cause.” – from the I Ching

It is right to put yourself in danger for a worthy cause.

A quote from Yogi Bhajan

Tao Te Ching – Verse 22 – If you want to become whole, let yourself be partial. If you want to become straight, let yourself be crooked.

28 – Twenty-Eight  Ta Kuo / Critical Mass

The Flood rises above the tallest Tree:
Amidst a rising tide of human folly, the Superior Person retires to higher ground, renouncing his world without looking back.

Any direction is better than where you now stand.

SITUATION ANALYSIS:

Several high-priority concerns demand immediate attention.
All are crucial.
None will be denied.
Yet some demand the denial of others.
Like two atoms seeking to occupy the same space, these irresistible forces and immovable objects threaten to ignite a cataclysm that could irreversibly alter your world.
This is no time for fatal heroics.
You are at Ground Point Zero.
Remove yourself from this situation without delay.
Find sanctuary.
Later you may deal with these concerns on your own terms, from a position of strength.

Six at the top means:

One must go through the water.
It goes over one’s head.
Misfortune. No blame.

Drowning

Here is a situation in which the unusual has reached a climax. One is courageous and wishes to accomplish one’s task, no matter what happens. This leads into danger. The water rises over one’s head. This is the misfortune. But one incurs no blame in giving up one’s life that the good and the right may prevail. There are things that are more important than life.

50 – Fifty  Ting / The Caldron

Fire rises hot and bright from the Wood beneath the sacrificial caldron:
The Superior Person positions himself correctly within the flow of Cosmic forces.

Supreme Accomplishment.

SITUATION ANALYSIS:

Your needs are coming into harmony with the requirements of the Cosmos.
Blending brilliantly with the Dance of Life, you are becoming an actual element of Cosmic Law.
Your goals will now be realized because you no longer cut against the Cosmic grain; you are no longer swimming against the flow of the Tao.
You are acquiring an intuitive sense of what can and cannot be, and aligning your efforts accordingly.

Today: “Preserve yourself. That is an art. It is an art to preserve yourself.” Yogi Bhajan

“Preserve yourself. That is an art. It is an art to preserve yourself. It is an art to selflessly serve somebody. It is an art to give your total everlasting friendship. It is an art to understand all activity so caused by you in good faith, because you are a living being. It is an art of gratitude. The attitude of gratitude is the highest living experience in a human life. I don’t care whether you believe in Jesus or not, whether you believe in God or not, whether you believe in Buddha or not. This is not my problem, it is your problem. But be grateful for every moment, for you must remember this moment will never come back.” Yogi Bhajan
