Today: “Intimate friendship and participation in a righteous cause is desirable.  Giving up any of your identity to a group or cause is dangerous.” – From the I Ching

Friends are here to help /
sharing, giving, receiving /
you remain yourself

Intimate friendship and participation in a righteous cause is desirable.  Giving up any of your identity to a group or cause is dangerous.

The joyous Lake spans on and on to the horizon:
The Superior Person renews and expands his Spirit through heart-to-heart exchanges with others.
Success if you stay on course.

Sincerity toward disintegrating influences is dangerous.
Dangerous elements approach even the best of men. If a man permits himself to have anything to do with them, their disintegrating influence acts slowly but surely, and inevitably brings dangers in its train. But if he recognizes the situation and can comprehend the danger, he knows how to protect himself and remains unharmed.

The stoic Mountain drains its excess waters to the Lake below:
The Superior Person curbs his anger and sheds his desires.

To be frugal and content is to possess immeasurable wealth within.
Nothing of value could be refused such a person.
Make a portion of each meal a share of your offering.

Tao Te Ching – Verse 8 – The supreme good is like water, which nourishes all things without trying to.

Today: “A guru is like an ocean where you can totally merge yourself and come out washed and clean.” Yogi Bhajan

‘The Disintegration of the Persistence of Memory’ – Salvador Dalí

Dangerous elements approach even the best of men. If a man permits himself to have anything to do with them, their disintegrating influence acts slowly but surely, and inevitably brings dangers in its train. But if he recognizes the situation and can comprehend the danger, he knows how to protect himself and remains unharmed.
