Day 15 of 30 Days to Creating a Change in Direction

The further we go on our journey and the more Sacred Cows that get tipped, the easier it is to see the real agenda of those who want to stay in control. Creating and maintaining conflict of any kind is the name of the game for them. They are helped by the fact that so many contracts have been built into the very fabric of society. Nevertheless, we will persevere in tipping those Cows that interfere with our forward progress, particularly those that fuel conflict.

Conflicts get a lot of fuel from the Sacred Cow of superiority:

“Strictly enforce a moral and economic code that reinforces the power of the Status Quo.”

This contract is particularly effective because it enables the Status Quo to define and enforce the perimeters of what’s important and what’s not. Here are only a few examples:

Hard work = important
Rest = not important

Short term results = important
Long term best interests = not important

This contract also gives Society the power to impose it’s preferences about what’s good (compliance) and what’s bad (being different).

And there’s more:
Peaceful = weak
Violent = powerful

Flashy & glossy = desirable
Straightforward & basic = undesirable

Simple = less valuable
Complex = more valuable
Weapons of Mass Destruction = very valuable

Are these arbitrary value judgments coming from outside of you having a negative effect on you or your ability to manifest?

Some people would say that this kind of social imposition of values is inevitable, an inescapable by-product of a civilized people. I respond by respectfully releasing any familial, racial or national agreement that says it has to be that way.

Play our Sacred Cow Tipping game and take back your power to freely choose what has value for you and what doesn’t.

In “The Magic If” you were asked to imagine your idea for a new direction as a seed. The reason is because a seed is a kernal of pure potentiality, nothing more. What you do with it makes the difference between whether it becomes just another “pie in the sky” or a “down to earth” idea that can grow into a full-fledged project if you are patient.

For example, I saw one of my ideas as an apple seed and couldn’t figure out for the life of me what it symbolized to me in that situation. My ego wanted the answer right now, but my intuition told me to just let it rest. Three days later, I was playing another game and the meaning of the apple suddenly became very clear.

So be patient with yourself and let your idea grow naturally. If you try to force it or act as if it were already fully mature, you will squelch it’s potential. On the other hand, when an idea is ripe, it’s important to put it into action or you’ll miss the harvest.

Alternative fuel sources are an example of an idea whose time has come, yet we have been here before and nothing happened. So what’s required to a create a tipping point for energy sources that will really stop contributing to pollution and global conflict?
In What’s Next? let’s focus our objective in to see what happens when we cultivate our gardens to find a positive solution for economical, sustianable energy.

Let the ideas flow,

The purpose of The Magic If is to develop an idea that flows with more than one point of view.

Any idea that takes only one point of view into account can be hijacked by your critical mind and used to take you places you don’t want to go.

Take for example, the war in Iraq. If the administration had taken more than one point of view – if they had listened to their detractors – they would have received real help about possible problems in their plan.

You can avoid having your critical mind (or ego, if you prefer) hijack your good ideas by letting your imagination play with it for a while first. That way, you can access all of your resources and find a solution that has a better chance of taking you where you really want to go.

Everywhere you hear the familiar refrain, “the country’s heading in the wrong direction”, so let’s use that as our first Tipping Point.

Ghandi said, “be the change you want to see”. Play with that. Play The Magic If using your own idea about what direction you want to see our country going.

Let the ideas flow freely,
