You quickly contest the charge and request a new credit card, but when you check your wallet the compromised card is still there. You try to think of shady ATMs or recent cashiers, but nothing comes to mind. Nothing, except maybe the online purchase you made while browsing the Internet at your local coffee shop.

Yogi Bhajan Story - Conflict: Convex or Concave?
by Hari Jiwan Singh
"Sir, what creates conflict?" I asked on an unseasonably warm January night. We were seated in our usual spots in the living room at my house.

 Yogi Bhajan quote
"Fortunate are they who start the day always looking to and cleansing the vibrations. With each breath they vibrate the Divine Nam, the Name of God, to cleanse themselves, to enrich themselves, and to energetically charge themselves so that they can be positively effective for the whole day."

Monthly Forecasts, for September, 2014

| Quote from Yogi Bhajan | |
"The Age of Aquarius will be the Age of humans and peace, love, and service. We shall all live as one family and wars will cease. Humans and humanity will prevail again. As the Berlin Wall fell, other walls will fall. We will all be united under one God, one spirit, one self."
Yogi Bhajan ~ 9/10/95
