Today: “Be careful not to trust too quickly nor too deeply.  Discern your own strength in relation with negative influences in your relations.”- from the I Ching

Be careful not to trust too quickly nor too deeply.  Discern your own strength in relation with negative influences in your relations.

See Yogi Bhajan’s quote for today

Tao Te Ching – Verse 28 – Know the male, yet keep to the female

Meditation: NM091 – 19921110 – Self Emboldenment, Engagement, Vision

Today: I Ching – Previous Reading – “When you are feeling trapped under a mountain of difficulties, do not trust offers of relief from dubious or unknown sources so as not to become obligated to perform acts supporting their agenda. Beware of cult and mob mentality.”

Today: I Ching – Previous previous reading – “Nothing is working. Work on your inner development and start from there rather than try to fix anything all at once. This moment of stagnation will pass.”

Read the text from Richard Wilhelm's, Thomas Cleary's, Brian Arnold's and other translations of the I Ching
58 – Fifty-Eight.  Tui / Empowering

The joyous Lake spans on and on to the horizon:
The Superior Person renews and expands his Spirit through heart-to-heart exchanges with others.

Success if you stay on course.

SITUATION ANALYSIS:

This is the sign of true companionship.
The principals in this situation exchange energy, ideas and feelings, constantly invigorating and encouraging each other to new heights of Spiritual achievement and Self-discovery.
This exchange is not for the glory of the Team, but for furthering the process of each individual’s ‘Te’, or pure potentiality.

Nine in the fifth place means:

You place your trust in an unworthy ally.

Sincerity toward disintegrating influences is dangerous.

Disintegration of Persistence of Memory

‘The Disintegration of the Persistence of Memory’ – Salvador Dalí

Dangerous elements approach even the best of men. If a man permits himself to have anything to do with them, their disintegrating influence acts slowly but surely, and inevitably brings dangers in its train. But if he recognizes the situation and can comprehend the danger, he knows how to protect himself and remains unharmed.

Salvador Dalí

19 – Nineteen.  Lin / Noble Calling

The rich, loamy Earth on the banks of the Marsh provides fertile soil for exceptional progress.
The Superior Person is inexhaustible in his willingness to teach, and without limit in his tolerance and support of others.

Supreme Success if you keep to your course.
But be aware that your time is limited; your power will wane, as Summer changes to Fall.

SITUATION ANALYSIS:

You are in a position to help another.
This is a temporary situation, because your power is cyclical, seasonal.
Knowing this, you must perform your good deed without hope of reward.
You are not furthering your own process, but another’s.
Though you may cherish this other, you will never possess.
Touch without grasping.
Take comfort in becoming a fond memory.
Nurture, then let go.

Today: “Mantras have power. They are the mind vibration in relationship to the Cosmos.” – Yogi Bhajan

“Mantras have power. They are the mind vibration in relationship to the Cosmos. The science of mantra is based on the knowledge that sound is a form of energy having structure, power, and a definite predictable effect on the human psyche.” Yogi Bhajan
