Today: Be very cautious performing the task you are undertaking.  Be aware of the danger that has arisen as you proceed. – from the I Ching

Be very cautious performing the task you are undertaking.  Be aware of the danger that has arisen as you proceed.

A quote from Yogi Bhajan

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.

10 – Ten. Lü / Worrying the Tiger

Heaven shines down on the Marsh which reflects it back imperfectly:
Though the Superior Man carefully discriminates between high and low, and acts in accord with the flow of the Tao, there are still situations where a risk must be taken.

You tread upon the tail of the tiger.
Not perceiving you as a threat, the startled tiger does not bite.
Success.

SITUATION ANALYSIS:

You have reached a perilous point in your journey.
This is a real gamble — not a maneuver, not a calculated risk.
The outcome is uncertain.
If it goes as you hope, you will gain — but if it turns against you it will cause serious injury, at least to your plans.
The best tack is extreme caution and a healthy respect for the danger involved.

SITUATION ANALYSIS:

You are about to experience a rebirth — about to be given another chance, a new lease on life.
You have persevered, gone the distance through an entire cycle — through the Spring of hope or new passion, through a Summer of growth and building, only to be sacrificed like the archetypal Harvest King at the Autumn reaping.
You lie dormant like seed beneath Winter snows now, healing and absorbing new energies in preparation for the new young Spring coming shortly to your life.

Nine in the fifth place means:

Though fully aware of the danger that lies on the narrow path ahead, the man is fully commited to move forward.
The future is uncertain.

Resolute conduct.
Perseverance with awareness of danger.

This refers to the ruler of the hexagram as a whole. One sees that one has to be resolute in conduct. But at the same time one must remain conscious of the danger connected with such resoluteness, especially if it is to be persevered in. Only awareness of the danger makes success possible.
41 – Forty-one. Sun / Decrease

The stoic Mountain drains its excess waters to the Lake below:
The Superior Person curbs his anger and sheds his desires.

To be frugal and content is to possess immeasurable wealth within.
Nothing of value could be refused such a person.
Make a portion of each meal a share of your offering.

SITUATION ANALYSIS:

This is an occasion for downsizing to fighting trim.
Simplicity and economy are strong defenses against the slings and arrows of Outrageous Fortune.
Whether this is a time of want or a time of plenty, it is an auspicious time to shed a dependency.

 

 

Today: “Your grit is not based on your muscles, your grit is based on how deeply you breathe.” Yogi Bhajan

“Your grit is not based on your muscles, your grit is based on how deeply you breathe. The length of your breath and your sustenance (endurance) are proportionate. How attractive you are is not based on your makeup, your dress, your jewelry, your art of speaking, and your everything. How slowly and long you breathe, that is attractive. Because your psyche affects the psyche of another person and the life energy is measured by the length of the breath and the depth of it. Length and depth of the breath measures the effect of your psyche on another person’s psyche.” Yogi Bhajan
