Getting Out of Insecurity
Excerpts of lectures by Yogi Bhajan from The Aquarian Teacher Level 1 Teacher Training Manual Each student of yoga must confront the mental attitude of insecurity and doubt. Actually, there are two mental styles we can use to go through life. In one style, we act as if everybody were saints until proven thieves. In the other style, we act as if everybody were thieves until proven saints. Which style of life your mind uses depends on the strength and balance of your nervous system. People who live the first style walk through every wave of life with an even attitude….

Yogi Bhajan Lecture: I, the Self, Call on My Psyche
In this lecture excerpt, I, the Self, Call on My Psyche, Yogi Bhajan gives us a way to tune into our intuition. This lecture was given on March 8, 1995. When we do not have consciousness, we do not have basic intuition. The problem is that intuition has to be developed. It is there but is dormant.

When you don’t control your impulse, you have no intuition. And when you…

In this short lecture excerpt, The Little Voice Inside, Yogi Bhajan is talking about intuition. This lecture was given on July 20, 1994. Intuition tells you what is for you.

Yogi Bhajan Lecture: Be Contained Within Your ‘You’
In this lecture excerpt, Yogi Bhajan talks about being secure and contained within yourself. This lecture was given in Los Angeles on March 1, 1989. Take any religion, take any teachings, deal with anything—there is only one thing: you should become you, complete and competent. That’s the process. Life will have no other process but that. Your problem is that to keep alive inside, you use emotions, feelings, sex, and all that you can feel. Those who know the inside, know the entire outside. Those who know outside do not know the inside. That’s why there is an emptiness. Life…

Yogi Bhajan Lecture: Welcome Your Tomorrow
