女人與兒童優先!
Women and Children First!
MSS Shakti Parwha Kaur Khalsa 的個人筆記
「女人與兒童優先」是當船隻即將沉沒時,安排人們登上救生艇的標準程序。
女人真的有那麼大的價值嗎?這是相當顯而易見的;沒有女人,文明就會走向終結,沒有人能夠出生。沒有任何人!
沒有女人與兒童,人類就沒有未來。
當瑜伽士巴贊(Yogi Bhajan)抵達美國時,他看見我們的社會正被拉向一條必然自我毀滅的道路。他看見這艘船即將沉沒。他立即開始為女性授課,並教導有關女性的知識。他始終如一地投入大量的時間與精力來教導女性,因為正如他不斷提醒我們的:
「任何不尊重女性的社會,都注定要走向毀滅!」
而第一步,就是女性必須重新找回並重新取回自己身為女性的尊嚴、神性與優雅。
瑜伽士們知道,女性所擁有的情緒力量與影響力,是男性的十六倍。問題在於,她如何引導自己的能量?是用來提升與啟發,還是用來削弱與摧毀?
瑜伽士(Yogiji)給了我們一個關於女性的定義:
「Double-you o man」
並讓我們理解,身為女性所擁有的力量與潛能。
當我們理解並掌握身為女性的自己時,我們就能運用自己的力量,為這個星球帶來和平與自由。我們或許曾經剝奪了自己的權利 — 即使我們已經贏得了投票權;我們或許曾經允許男性在過去剝削我們。但是,3HO 的生活方式與昆達里尼瑜伽(Kundalini Yoga)的技術,正在喚醒內在的女神。這並不是為了與男性競爭,而是當我們將自己提升到應有的地位時,也同時提升、啟發並使男性變得高尚。畢竟,女性就是 Adi Shakti(原初夏克緹),原初力量(Primal Power)— 神顯化出來的力量。
在過去的二十三年裡,我們的 3HO 家庭不斷成長,因為那些美麗的寶瓶時代靈魂,被吸引而誕生於 3HO 家庭之中。這些靈魂的命運,就是在新時代中生活、工作,並引領人類。這些靈魂前來尋求一個靈性的環境,以滋養並支持他們的命運。瑜伽士巴贊更進一步伸出他那充滿仁慈的大師之手,將教導擴展到這些孩子身上,傳授他們所需要的進階技術,使他們能夠完成自己的命運,並克服前幾代人的神經官能症(Neuroses)。
他在新墨西哥州為青少年開設的非凡課程、他傑出的演講,以及他在今年夏天為女性所教授的新型冥想,聽起來令人著迷,實際練習則令人獲得解放!
這一期的《Still Keeping Up!》收錄了 1992 年 KWTC 錄音帶中所蘊含的豐富資訊與啟發的一小部分摘錄。我希望你們能夠親自取得這些錄音帶。
(或許你們可以成立一個借閱圖書館,或者在你們的瑜伽中心或家中,利用這些錄影帶開設課程。)
男性們,請不要覺得自己被排除在外。這些知識同樣會使你們受益。雖然其中有些內容是「專門」為女性而設,但有很大一部分同樣適用於男性。而且,盡可能多地了解女性,對你們而言是明智的,因為:
「身為一個男人,你由女人所生。當你長大時,你想要一個女人。最終,你與一個女人結婚,並生下孩子。你從 A 到 Z 的整個生命結構,都是圍繞著女人,一圈又一圈地運轉。你想為了一個女人而富有。你想為了一個女人而貧窮。你想為了一個女人而搬到鄉下。你想為了一個女人而來到城市。無論你承認還是否認,基本上,你都以某種方式,成為女人的僕人。」

Women and Children First!
A personal note from
MSS Shakti Parwha Kaur Khalsa
"Women and children first" is standard procedure for loading lifeboats when the ship is going to sink. Are women really that valuable? It's pretty obvious; without women, civilization comes to an end, nobody gets born. Nobody! Without women and children, there's no future for the human race.
When Yogi Bhajan arrived in America, he saw our society being pulled on a sure course of self-destruction. He saw the ship about to sink. He began immediately teaching for and about women. He has consistently focused a tremendous amount of time and energy into teaching women because, as he has reminded us, "Any society in which woman is not respected is doomed!". And the first step is for women to regain and reclaim their own dignity, divinity and grace as Women. Yogis know that women have sixteen times more emotional power and impact than men. The question is how she channels her energy; is it to uplift and inspire, or to undermine and destroy?
Yogiji gave us a definition of woman:
"Double-you o man", and the understanding of our power and potential as women.
As we understand and master ourselves as women, we can use our power to bring peace and freedom to the planet. We may have disenfranchised ourselves — even though we won the vote; we may have allowed men to exploit us in the past, but the 3HO way of life and technology with Kundalini Yoga is awakening the goddess within, not to compete with men, but to uplift, inspire and ennoble them as we elevate ourselves to our rightful status. Woman is, after all, the Adi Shakti, the Primal Power (God's Power in manifestation).
During the past 23 years, our 3HО families have grown as beautiful Aquarian souls, whose destiny it is to live and work and lead humanity in the new age, have been attracted to birth to 3HO.
These souls came seeking a spiritual environment to nurture and support their destiny. Yogi Bhajan has further extended his masterful hand of kindness to include teaching the advanced technology these children need to fulfill their destiny and overcome the neuroses of previous generations.
His remarkable classes for the teenagers in New Mexico, his outstanding lectures and the new kinds of meditations for women he taught this summer are fascinating to hear and liberating to practice!
This issue of Still Keeping Up! features excerpts from just a fraction of the wealth of information and inspiration that came from the tapes made at KWTC, 1992. I hope you'll get them for yourself (maybe you can start a lending library or hold classes in your Yoga center or home, using the video tapes).
Men, please don't feel left out. This knowledge will benefit you also. Although some of it is "exclusively" for women, much of it is equally applicable for men and you are wise to learn as much about women as you can, for:
"As a man, you are born of a woman. When you grow, you want a woman. Eventually you marry with a woman and have children. Your A-to-Z structure is around and around a woman. You want to be rich for a woman, you want to be poor for a woman, you want to move to the country for a woman, you want to come to the city for a woman.
Whether you admit it or deny it, basically you are a slave of woman in one way or another." (From The Teachings of Yogi Bhajan, page 29.)
