“Individuals, through their experience in the world, and through their reactions to their own mental phenomena, create various impressions that are recorded in the subconscious and the superconscious minds. This accumulation of actions and reactions creates a kind of momentum in the mind. So the mind does not start from zero. It has a perception already focused on specific categories or features of experience, even before a thought is generated.” Yogi Bhajan
(via Ram Anand)
Go beyond your ego and associated self interest. Do not deny yourself, rather extend your vision to include everything and everyone, serving in any capacity you are needed. This attitude will dissolve the barriers that have formed between you and others. By your example it will extend to others, breaking down the divisions that have formed between people.

It is time to dissolve the rigidity of the heart that has led to extreme divisiveness among people. We must allow ourselves to be shaken with awe in face of eternity – stirred with an intuition of the One Creator of all living beings, and united through the strong feeling of fellowship experienced in the ritual of divine worship.

“The tattvas give a condition to the mind, and the mind can balance the tattvas. It is a back and forth relationship. These five tattvas give qualities to the manifestation of mind into our senses, actions, and perceptions.” Yogi Bhajan
(via Ram Anand)
“The soul passes through gradual stages from the one unmanifested consciousness to gross manifestation. It finally connects to the densest condensations of those stages – the five last tattvas: ether, air, fire, water, and earth. It is these gross qualities that we can perceive in the qualities of earthly existence.” Yogi Bhajan
(via Ram Anand)
Be still as a mountain. Bring to rest the sensations of the ego. Disassociate from the fears and desires of others and the visible world around you. Focus only on the immediate situation, dwelling only in the moment. Continue reading “Today: Be still as a mountain – from the I Ching”

“Out of that comes the art in which man equates himself with God,
And forgets the strength of the cyclone.
And as every pride has a fall,
The cyclone comes back
To complete the circle and start all over again.”
Yogi Bhajan
(via Ram Anand)
Stagnation thwarts all efforts to improve the situation. No amount of brilliant or creative endeavors seem to change anything. There is no blame. Rather than feel remorse for the state of affairs, just accept that you must hold to your course and keep your grace. Continue reading “Today: Stagnation and Retreat – from the I Ching”
“The cyclone brings the destruction and tests the plantation. It gives the chance of reconstruction. Out of reconstruction comes new designing, new planning
And new strength to beat the cyclone.”

“I am, I am.
I am excellence.
To the world of success
I hold the key.
I shall triumph.

I am, I am – I am to be.”
Yogi Bhajan

It is a time of conflict. Paths are converging that are unable to occupy the same space. If one or the other is unable to change, there can be no resolution. You can force an outcome with some measure of success, which you will constantly have to defend. Continue reading “Today: Conflict and Change – from the I Ching”
Use your discipline to overcome your limitations, but not too much. Too much discipline is too constrictive and cannot be endured. It becomes self destructive. Allow what you have been waiting for to come in its own time and through release of your resistance.
