On the Current State of Democracy – a reading from the I Ching
One may wonder whether the world’s democratic institutions are unravelling in the face of their neglect and the exploitation of peoples’ discontent by unscrupulous and powerful (oligarch) autocratic forces.
The I Ching warns that, though we have achieved a pinnacle of human achievement as a civilization, peoples’ complacency and indifference to the influence of bad actors imperils the status quo and the health of our society.
The long term outlook is favorable for the survival of democracy.
This is supported only if first, the level of general awareness of the world’s citizens expands enough to check the pattern of decay that has taken hold, and second, enough people are in a position and able to serve to preserve it.
It has been shown that too many people have been placed in positions of power and influence who have been corrupted by the seduction of the promise of personal gain. They need to ask “at what cost?”. Everyone must ask “at what cost have we neglected our civil duties as citizens and nations?”
The first thing is to wake up. Then, serve.

Yogi Bhajan – LA021-780319 – You Will Feel Totally Conscious
Sit with crossed legs and a straight spine in a meditative posture. Interlace the fingers with the palms facing the body. Touch the thumb tip to the tip of the mercury (little) finger on each hand respectively. The mudra is held at shoulder level.
Inhale completely and repeat the mantra j as you exhale. Inhale and begin again.
The eyes are nine-tenths closed.
Inhale deeply and chant the healing mantra:
RA MA DA SA! SA SAY SO HUNG!
Make the SAY long and pause briefly between SA’s. The mantra is chanted in a particular melody. Refer to tape for correct melody.
Practice for 31 minutes, then inhale, relax, breathe while stretching up for one minute.
In the first 3-5 minutes you will feel enthusiastic about it. After another seven minutes you will be “badly relaxed” yawning and spacing out. The next 10 minutes will bring you to a different state of consciousness, ecstasy. The final 10 minutes, you will feel totally conscious.
“When faced with overwhelming opposition, it is wise to cut your losses and retreat to a stronger position.” – a reading from the I Ching
When faced with overwhelming opposition, it is wise to cut your losses and retreat to a stronger position. Still, one must protect faithful allies who have stood by you from the wrath of the evildoers. Don’t expect anything positive in the near term. Give attention do details that help you to survive. Hold quietly to your inner truth.

Today: “For anyone who will live up to his word to infinity, this world will become too small.” Yogi Bhajan
“For anyone who will live up to his word to infinity, this world will become too small. It will seem as small as a Ping Pong ball. The whole universe will dance on the word of that man. This is the vibratory effect an individual has, because your end is infinity. Your beginning is infinity. You are only in trouble when you have not realized you are infinity. To realize the infinity in the finite state is the extension of the mind. That is the reality of the mind.” Yogi Bhajan
