Day 28 of 30 Days to Creating a Change in Direction

The roots of intolerance, ignorance and apathy run wide and deep, like crabgrass in a bed of flowers. Every wise gardener knows that there is a myriad of factors involved in properly managing a garden. Proper watering, nutrients, and sunlight keep it healthy and vigorous. A balance of insects and microbial elements prevent infestations and decay.

Timing is also of major importance. If you catch the crabgrass at just the right time and pull them out all the way down to the taproots, you can prevent them from overrunning the garden later.

That is exactly what we are doing when we release these collective agreements. We are using this window of opportunity to reach deep into the bed of society and pull out opportunistic taproots that prevent us from prospering. 

Is it a panacea? No. Will our problems immediately and magically go away? No, again, yet it is an important part of bringing the ecology of our human consciousness back into balance with its environment. What we are doing with our Sacred Cow Tipping game is really a process of deciding what we want to grow.

That’s why today’s Sacred Cow is:

“An individual can’t make a difference”

The essence of this particular Sacred Cow is hopelessness, helplessness or a general attitude that says, “My choices don’t really matter, so why bother?”

Play the game with me today and release your personal, ancestral and collective agreements with this weed. Weaken it. Cut it off from its food supply so that our future collective garden has a better chance of producing the flowers we truly desire.
When you play you are making a difference.
