Grasp the left thumb with the right hand, and place the hands on your lap. Close your eyes. After a few moments, feel the sensation of your nose becoming inverted, So that the tip of your nose is between the eyes, and the bridge of the nose is at the bottom.

What is always with us and within us is the collective psyche of whom we identify with. That’s we, just as the soul is I. In Western terms (Jung) it is the collective unconscious. In yogic tradition it is interconnectedness through our subtle bodies. Enjoy the times that bring a strong perception of common awareness with our brothers and sisters. That is now.
Meditation Merge with the consciousness of others.
Nurture others in need, as if you were feeding yourself.
Take care not to provide sustenance for those who feed off others. In bestowing care and nourishment, it is important that the right people should be taken care of and that we should attend to our own nourishment in the right way. If we wish to know what anyone is like, we have only to observe on whom he bestows his care and what sides of his own nature he cultivates and nourishes.
“There is only one simple fact: On the spiritual path you have to pass through your mind, your power in experience, to reach the soul. But mind is not bound in time and space. So you must create a focus, an identity, a sensitivity to be beyond time and beyond the challenge of space. The soul is always immediate and present. It gives you a flow and makes your presence glow.” Yogi BhajanNurture others in need, as if you were feeding yourself.

Everywhere people are oppressed and held in restraint by those who serve the narrow interests of their own egos. When a strong person meets with adversity, he remains cheerful despite all danger, and this cheerfulness is the source of later successes; it is that stability which is stronger than fate. He who lets his spirit be broken by exhaustion certainly has no success. If a strong person bends and is not broken, a power grows within that will in time manifest itself. Be true to yourself and sparing of words until that power grows enough to take effective action.

Rhythms in nature produce forces that move our consciousness like the tides that follow the phases of the moon. Water does not resist the moon’s gravity, nor should we struggle futilely against the cyclical forces of natural attraction. Following what comes from the sense of adaptation to the demands of the time is a joyful pursuit.

The total sum of this life and this Earth, of this planet, this cosmos, and this space is nothing but energy. Call it any kind of theory you want, this life is constructed so that the energy of existence is transferred into matter. That matter can also be transferred into energy. Whatever the details of your theory, somehow that essential energy created matter and that matter sustains us through the energy! Life is about that balance and exchange of energy.” Yogi BhajanContinue reading “The total sum of this life and this earth…”
If what is going on with people worries you, if it seems like everyone is stampeding towards a cliff, don’t panic. With gentle words that are firm, calm and confident, and by your example you can help effect change. All persuasion should be almost unfelt, yet consistent and persistent. People are aware of the anger and discontent that drives this insanity, but they don’t know how they got there. Understand that the pain and discomfort of the condition is real, but they have been mislead about the causes for their condition, and they believe it.

Curb your anger, excessive ambition and desires. To be frugal and content is to possess immeasurable wealth within. Downsize. Shed a dependency.
If you are touched by a living demon and you let him into your psyche, resistance is futile. The only known antidote is Sadhana.

In this time we are presented with two very clear choices: We can choose hate or not blowing up the world.

We are waiting. Dangling in apprehension and anticipation. Purgatory. We are under siege by powers beyond our control.
As we endure the taunts and contempt of and towards our brothers and sisters today, know that the Cosmos is moving toward equilibrium. Extremes are being tempered, excess is beginning to shift toward the empty. We can personally use these changes to affect people modestly and moderately in our near environment. This effect (butterfly) will subtly ripple outward to bring a broader balance and a sustained equilibrium to to the human race . Perfect your own neutrality.
We are blessed with an opportunity to resuscitate that which others have abandoned as beyond repair. This ruin wasn’t caused by evil intention, but by indifference to decay. Just by addressing the problem, we gain a new awareness, a fresh perspective. This is a time of recovery, renewal, regeneration.
We can set things right.
