“At any stage of our life, if we can very sincerely and very honestly relate to the integrity of our own consciousness and start living consciously, we will start living happily.” Yogi Bhajan

The Snake Revealed
That’s right, Im a snake.
Snakes don’t have compassion. We are reptiles, after all.
Don’t pay any taxes? –That makes me smart.
Stiffed everyone I owed? –That’s just business.
Wished for financial calamity so I can exploit peoples’ misfortune? –That’s just business, too.
Praised foreign despots while they inflict atrocities and then blame my personal adversaries for all of it? –Why not?
Climate change? — a hoax invented by the Chinese for China
Democracy? — overrated. Believe me I’ll fix everything myself in this hell we are living in.
Insulted people for their looks, weight, gender, race, lineage, nationality?
–They deserved it.
Now you know. Wait until I reveal who I really am. But you will only find out if and when I am in charge and have control of the situation.
Recognize the Snake
Down the path along side the lake
A tender hearted woman saw a poor half frozen snake
His pretty colored skin had been all frosted with the dew
“Poor thing, ” she cried, “I’ll take you in and I’ll take care of you”
“Take me in tender woman
Take me in, for heaven’s sake
Take me in, tender woman, ” sighed the snake
A tender hearted woman saw a poor half frozen snake
His pretty colored skin had been all frosted with the dew
“Poor thing, ” she cried, “I’ll take you in and I’ll take care of you”
“Take me in tender woman
Take me in, for heaven’s sake
Take me in, tender woman, ” sighed the snake
She wrapped him up all cozy in a comforter of silk
And laid him by her fireside with some honey and some milk
She hurried home from work that night and soon as she arrived
She found that pretty snake she’d taken to had been revived
“Take me in, tender woman
Take me in, for heaven’s sake
Take me in, tender woman, ” sighed the snake
And laid him by her fireside with some honey and some milk
She hurried home from work that night and soon as she arrived
She found that pretty snake she’d taken to had been revived
“Take me in, tender woman
Take me in, for heaven’s sake
Take me in, tender woman, ” sighed the snake
She clutched him to her bosom, “You’re so beautiful, ” she cried
“But if I hadn’t brought you in by now you might have died”
She stroked his pretty skin again and kissed and held him tight
Instead of saying thanks, the snake gave her a vicious bite
“Take me in, tender woman
Take me in, for heaven’s sake
Take me in, tender woman, ” sighed the snake
“I saved you, ” cried the woman
“And you’ve bitten me, but why?
You know your bite is poisonous and now I’m going to die”
“Oh shut up, silly woman, ” said the reptile with a grin
“You knew damn well I was a snake before you took me in
“Take me in, tender woman
Take me in, for heaven’s sake
Take me in, tender woman, ” sighed the snake
“But if I hadn’t brought you in by now you might have died”
She stroked his pretty skin again and kissed and held him tight
Instead of saying thanks, the snake gave her a vicious bite
“Take me in, tender woman
Take me in, for heaven’s sake
Take me in, tender woman, ” sighed the snake
“I saved you, ” cried the woman
“And you’ve bitten me, but why?
You know your bite is poisonous and now I’m going to die”
“Oh shut up, silly woman, ” said the reptile with a grin
“You knew damn well I was a snake before you took me in
“Take me in, tender woman
Take me in, for heaven’s sake
Take me in, tender woman, ” sighed the snake

“When you bring your soul and your will together you become conscious…
“When you bring your soul and your will together you become conscious. It is all you and it is all about you. When you live consciously, you make a choice. That choice has to be valid and fully from the heart; a choice without duality and with complete clarity. Then you direct your mind – your head – to act on it. You direct your mind to commit and go for the goal you choose.” Yogi Bhajan Continue reading ““When you bring your soul and your will together you become conscious…”
Meditation: NM327-990930 Know Your Heart
Yogi Bhajan – NM327 – September 30, 1999
Sit straight in a cross-legged position. Place your right hand on your heart and extend the left arm forward at a 60 degree angle, palm facing forward, as if you are blessing the universe. Inhale through the “o” of the mouth and exhale through the nose. Eyes are 1/10 open and focused at the tip of the nose. Continue for 11 minutes.

Today: Deliverance and Enthusiasm
A thunderous cloudburst relieves the oppressive tension. Liberation comes from releasing all expectations and resentment of others. Free yourself of the endless vigil of policing the behavior of others. See them for who they are, not what they can or can’t do for you. Continue reading “Today: Deliverance and Enthusiasm”
“You produce a life full of things, but you are absent…
“You produce a life full of things, but you are absent. It is a life with no juice, no essence, no heart, and no reality. It lacks confidence, penetration, and impact. The mind was given to you to relate to Infinity, and consciousness was given to you to live. If you react and project mentally, and then depend on that, you as you are just zero. Anything multiplied by zero will become zero. With this habit even your elemental personality will eventually become zero and leave no trace.” Yogi Bhajan Continue reading ““You produce a life full of things, but you are absent…”
Today: Expansion
You will progress in every endeavor. A joyful awareness of the best within you, along with your shortcomings, provides a depth and clarity that will compel you to expand your horizons. Your benevolence, sacrifice and kindness born of necessity will be recognized and have great influence.
“You and your mind must meet…
“You and your mind must meet. If you rush ahead of your time and space, if you depend on the shortcuts your mind projects, your life will be half digested, and you will carry a bad smell.” Yogi Bhajan

Today: Lying low attracts success
Small things may be done, big things should not be done. Lying low with modesty will bring surprisingly good fortune. If you seek help from competent sources with proven records rather than high profile personalities then you will succeed. Continue reading “Today: Lying low attracts success”
“You depend on the mind, but you cannot rely on it…
“You depend on the mind, but you cannot rely on it. It takes a thought and magnifies it, twists it left and right, and creates many short cuts, illusions, dreams, and temptations. It creates a mirage, and asks you to walk on it! Continue reading ““You depend on the mind, but you cannot rely on it…”
