“The blend of your soul, mind, and body makes you talk. This is the art of vibration. If your mind is off you cannot talk sensibly. If your soul is off you don’t exist. Hence, it is a blending of the three that makes you vibrate. You vibrate anyway, but vibration in the form of communication is effectively recognized when you talk. Word was with God and communicated with maya to create this universe and its beauty. Word is with you. Communicate to create your own world.” Yogi Bhajan

Victoria and Abdul is the story of the meeting and friendship of an elderly Queen Victoria of England and a young and handsome Abdul from Agra, India, who happened to visit the royal court on an official state visit to present a nondescript gift to Victoria from the colonial government of India.
The story is told from the points of view of Victoria and Abdul. The story emerges from their relationship. There are many complexities to the story, such as the imperialistic tendencies of the British empire, white racial dominance, and power seeking sycophants at the royal court. Sound familiar?
In its telling, the intention is to distill the aspects of the experience that are important to the characters and express them in human terms that we can understand, for our benefit. Many of the scenes are humorous, but real.
It is tempting to see the race relations and power structure portrayed in the movie in today’s popular terms, but only doing that limits the impact of the experience of the movie. Those things are secondary in importance at best, though that seems to be mostly what the critics are hung up on and all they can talk about.
We, the audience, are not objective observers of a drama played out in a certain (maybe familiar) context. We can actually share the characters’ experience if we allow the suspension of disbelief and merge with them. What they see, feel and know is what we see, feel and know. That is the virtue of how the movie is crafted.
We don’t emerge from the movie loving Victoria and Abdul. We do love the love these characters found as it resonates in us. After the movie we can go on with great satisfaction having had that experience, just as Abdul suggests to Victoria for her final journey as he recites Rumi’s poem.
Listen, O drop, give yourself up without regret,
and in exchange gain the Ocean.
Listen, O drop, bestow upon yourself this honor,
and in the arms of the Sea be secure.
Who indeed should be so fortunate?
An Ocean wooing a drop!
In God’s name, in God’s name, sell and buy at once!
Give a drop, and take this Sea full of pearls.
Rumi

Stagnation. Doe not make bold attempts to change things. Don’t try to feel better. Hold to your inner truth and ride out the quagmire.
This is one of a few movies that I have been moved to recommend. In my world view, it deserves everyone’s attention.
Many stories have been written about war and the consequences of engaging in it. Here is a movie that strips away most of the consequential horror, leaving an experience of very absurd humor and pathos. Not districted by all the graphic ugliness, the audience is allowed to experience some very profound truth about the mind and human behavior when anything is allowed to happen. It resonates with and brings a fresh view to today’s world-scape of non-fact reality. Enjoy.
Here is the review from the Los Angeles Times.
“It is a simple thing: When you are attached, how can you be universal?”

Meet shock and upheaval with vast awareness. Avoid being crippled by reaction and fear. A more favorable circumstance follows close at hand where the agents of darkness are dispersed and the light returns.
It is our natural inclination to seek fellowship with others. In bonding with kindred spirits great things can be accomplished. We should seek the proper relations with all whom we associate.
Be careful not to make a casual relationship a pivotal one that is the basis for any serious endeavors. Choose your colleagues carefully. This requires careful self examination. See what you are attracting and make adjustments that will align with your aspirations.
Relax the arms down with the elbows bent. Raise the forearms up and in toward each other until the hands meet in front of the chest at the level of the Solar plexus. Press the entire length of the fingers of the opposite hands together from the mounds to the fingertips but leave the palms spread far apart. Cross the thumbs with the right thumb over the left thumb. The fingers point up as this is traditionally taught. A variation is to point the fingers forward. (This is the way Siri Singh Sahibji prefers to practice it.) Continue reading “Meditation: LA057 780928 Change your frequency”
“If you have the power to believe, then what you believe shall come true. It means this little unit computer has the power to organize the main Master Computer to act on a signal. In simple rational words, man has the control over the Universal Consciousness. They call it bhakti yoga, also devotion, worship.” Yogi Bhajan

“Liberation is from the subconscious mind, the watchdog of the self, the recorder of the self.” Yogi Bhajan

Do not become too attached to your circumstances. Keep your manners and associate with good people. Take responsibility for your actions. Liberate yourself from the subconscious that ties you to your ego. Move on when it is time.
The solution to uncertainty is not to worry with empty imaginings about what could possibly go wrong. The answer is to give mindful attention to the problem, contemplate, and trust your intuition. Then you can lead yourself and others out of any jam.
