Sacred Cow Tipping – Releasing the Guilt
Countdown: Day 2 out of 5 Days to Releasing Extremism and Fear
Today’s Sacred Cow is interesting because it is actually two beasts joined at the hip:
“There’s no way out.”
and
“What I say and do doesn’t matter.”
One is completely and utterly dependent on the other to hold intractable situations in place, for example the quandary that now exists in Iraq.
Whatever we say or do won’t matter because there’s no way out, and there’s no way out because we think whatever we say or do won’t matter.
Handling this double bind is going to require a bit of ingenuity. We can’t really tip them head on, however, we might be able to throw them off balance by releasing our personal, cultural and collective agreements to feel hopeless about there being no way out and then to release all agreements to feel guilty about anything that we have ever said or done.
Remember that guilt is a heavy weight placed upon us because we are not doing something that someone else wants us to do. Remorse, on the other hand, is a genuine and heart-felt desire for atonement.
By releasing the guilt and allowing genuine hope to flow more freely through our collective consciousness, we may be able to tip these cows.
