Today marks a completion in a transition to a new order. It is not final. A delicate equilibrium has formed which will again change into something else. The tendencies that have contributed to arriving at this point are now at rest, but be assured that new ones will arise to move the situation in a new direction. It’s like another chapter in a story.
Don’t get too comfortable. Be flexible. The scenery will continue to change.
We are experiencing stagnation brought about through apathy and neglect. The security we have been experiencing will topple as the last measure of stability is compromised. We cannot look to celebrity, fads or the current buzz, yet that is where we are at. The poor choices we are living with will have to play out before something new can happen. Order will be restored, at a cost. The darkness has to play out before a turning point can be reached. In the meantime, give up complacency and remain personally vigilant in order to survive the coming time.
The text reads:
“Danger arises when a man feels secure in his position. Destruction threatens when a man seeks to preserve his worldly estate. Confusion develops when a man has put everything in order. Therefore the superior man does not forget danger in his security, nor ruin when he is well established, nor confusion when his affairs are in order. In this way he gains personal safety and is able to protect the empire”.
If our inner light is brighter than the darkness is dark, then we can project that difference and become a beacon to the world.
Aligning with the natural rhythms of heaven and earth, you can lead the primal dance that inspires enthusiasm and devotion.
Nothing is holding you back. You may complete your task. In the new year, contemplate in silence. You will have the wherewithal to proceed successfully.
It is a time when we are well advised to look within ourselves to know what is going on rather than trying to make sense of what we read from the external world. That world has ended the year engulfed in chaos and delusion. The perception of its image ceases to serve us in any useful way. It is the memory of our life and the choices made that inform us of who and where we are and where we are going. Not only must we examine every corner of the self. Our vision must include the example we set for others by our very existence. We must become aware of our impact in the lives of others. We must see our self in others as clearly as we see ourselves. This type of inquiry will of itself will make us more visible and provide the exemplary model for others to adopt and align with.

Regardless of stature or rank, be humble in your relationships. It is important to know the experience of the other. True joy in your relationships rests on firmness and strength within, manifesting itself outwardly as yielding and gentle.
It is important to choose relationships wisely. Include mutual affection as a basis. It doesn’t matter how long it takes to get it right. Let the darkness of no options pass until the right opportunities present themselves. It is never too late to start again.
You have it all if you can use your strength and clarity to bring balance, wealth and compassion to the world. Coupled with grace and modesty they also attract and inspire others to join in any undertaking you initiate. Continue reading “Today: Possession in great measure – from the I Ching”
Keep still in your silence. Communicate deliberately and choose your words carefully and sparingly. You will have a strong impact on your friends and family.
Those who are committing atrocities will be called to justice. Their treachery and treason won’t go away on their own, but they will be judged by a higher power for their actions. There is nothing to do but be uniquely yourself and let justice have its due. Separate yourself from the gang of traitors. Don’t go along with them nor be influenced by them. Overcome your fear and follow your heart.
Take care of each other. Retreat from the forces that would cause you harm. Don’t engage them. Regroup among your friends.
Be kind and charitable. Give freely to those who do not know the blessings that you know. Give in spite of external oppression. A breakthrough will ensue that is shared by giver and receiver. The initial act will set in motion a movement that propagates and benefits all.
Fellowship and friendship has turned into division and mistrust. Use whatever occasion will serve to gather together in common cause. Start with the family.
Focus on the family in your actions and words. Beware of their impact. Always remember the love that you hold for the family and they will trust you. Find silence within and contemplate your closest relations and the immediate situation. That will resonate in its own way in its own time far beyond that narrow scope.
Fill in the gaps in your experience through your discipline. Rather than entangling yourself with empty imaginings, give yourself the opportunity to have a real experience. Yesterday’s reading gave an example of keeping it real. Turn your devotion to a discipline of yoga and meditation. Don’t read too much into what’s happening. Simply experience it inside through your raw perception. Increasing your awareness in this way, you will begin to align yourself with the reality of what is going on and allow you to participate in the cosmic dance.
