Sacred Cow Tipping – Re-establishing Connection

Tuesday, December 12th, 2006

Countdown: Day 1 out of 5 Days for Releasing Extremism and Fear

A baby requires attention and love. When those things are witheld or absent, the child’s growth and happiness is stunted. As an adult they may exhibit learning and behavioral difficulties, a fear of being abandoned or left behind. Or they may feel disconnected from themselves, other people, or the Earth.

In an attempt to feel connected, they often seek out organizations, gangs, or cults that promise a sense of belonging. Unfortunately, the connection is usually based on an “us vs. them” mentality, which only perpetuates the isolation and sets up the conditions for extremism.

This Sacred Cow has caused endless strife and suffering. As our last game in this series, I hope that you will take the time to release your personal, familial, cultural and collective agreements with:

“I am all alone.”

Give yourself the gift of releasing the fear and loneliness of the past and join with others to build a new collective consciousness based on love, respect, and tolerance. 

Thank you for participating in our tipping game, and remember that you are never alone.

Sacred Cow Tipping – Releasing the Guilt

Monday, December 11th, 2006

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.

Sacred Cow Tipping – Unlocking Genius

Saturday, December 9th, 2006

Countdown: Day 4 out of 5 Days for Releasing Extremism and Fear

As children many of us were conditioned to think that what we thought didn’t matter. Perhaps we were called names that insulted our intellect or potential based upon our sex, race or social position.

Possibly we were thoughtlessly called stupid or moronic, simply because we didn’t agree with the Status Quo.

Whether we responded with fear or anger, our ability to stand up effectively for what we knew in our hearts was compromised or squelched entirely. That’s why today’s Sacred Cow is:

“What I think is not important.”

Experiment with the idea that every insult, trauma or lie is etched somewhere in your DNA like graffiti. Use the circles in our game to clean, clear and restore each strand to it’s pristine condition. Breathe deeply, and in your mind’s eye, watch the DNA spirals relax and brighten. Allow them to change and reorganize themselves so that you can unlock the genius that lives within.

Sacred Cow Tipping – Remaining Focused

Friday, December 8th, 2006

5 Days to Releasing Extremism and Fear

Timing is an important aspect of Tipping Sacred Cows. If you are venturing into this set of Sacred Cows, the timing is probably right for you to release more agreements that are preventing you from establishing balance and equilibrium in your life. I would like to begin with this one:

“The squeaky wheel always gets the oil.”

As you play our tipping game, I suggest that you visualize releasing your personal, familial, cultural and collective aggreements to pay undue attention to the whiners, complainers, opportunists and trouble-makers. What you choose to do instead creates the foundation for your future happiness and focus in life.

Sacred Cow Tipping – The Road towards Peace

Friday, December 1st, 2006

Countdown: 1 Day remaining of 30 Days to Creating a Change in Direction

Today’s game brings completion to your experiment with tipping Sacred Cows. I am grateful to you for joining in and contributing your wondeful, creative energy. Whether you tipped one cow or all thirty, you have helped to create a more cooperative and flexible atmosphere where greater things can be accomplished.

Our final Sacred Cow is:

“Create and maintain a division and hostility between the male and female sex.”

Let’s use this opportunity to release the oldest war ever fought and see what can be done to bring in a new era of peace and prosperity. Of course there are still plenty of Sacred Cows out there, so you can keep an eye on your situation. If you see a negative, outdated cow blocking the road ahead, I hope you’ll remember to play our game.

Sacred Cow Tipping – Sympathy for the Devil

Wednesday, November 29th, 2006

Countdown: 2 Days Remaining of 30 Days to Creating a Change in Direction

We are almost complete with our 30 day experiment in tipping cows. Thanks to you for participating. It truly has been a month of taking positive, pro-active action.

In order to make the most of our last two games, I want to be sure that you have handled all the major cows that might sabotage or slow you down, so let’s take a look at this one:

“Use self-pity to exploit others and bring progress to a halt.”

Pity and self-pity is like the crazy glue of the psyche. It takes our good intentions and turns them against us in the bat of an eye.

Remove the big, hairy Sacred Cow that is blocking us from the light.

Sacred Cow Tipping – Unleashing Potential

Tuesday, November 28th, 2006

Countdown: 3 Days remaining of 30 Days to Creating a Change in Direction

We are told that we use only a fraction of our brain capacity and that the vast majority of our DNA strands have been dormant since the beginnings of recorded history.

In my work with the circles we’re using in our tipping game, I know that it doesn’t have to be that way. I’ve seen people go through vast change and exponential growth once they decide to activate their true potential and release their agreement to stay in the box.

So I have to ask, what if our reduced capacity has something to do with an ancient contract that was made in another age, one that we cannot even remember? Is it possible that we somehow agreed to limit ourselves and compromise our free will?
 
As an experiment, I would like to suggest that we try on that possible scenario and use our game to reach all the back to tip the original Sacred Cow that says: 

“Limit the potential of the people so that they can be easily dominated.”

Sacred Cow Tipping – Developing Compassion

Monday, November 27th, 2006

Countdown – 5 Days remaining of 30 days to Creating a Change in Direction

Nobody said that changing directions would be easy. As a result of tipping all these Sacred Cows, you are probably more aware of the distrust and negativity around you than you were when you started.

Believe it or not, your new awareness is a good thing because it means that you have become more conscious of things that have the potential to pull you back into the muck and the mire. You notice when someone is acting as if they have no power. You understand more about what’s going on when they choose to blame you for something or try to take advantage of you. They are reacting unconsciously in the way that they have been taught to do. Just as you have done, and will probably do again at some point. The idea here isn’t to be perfect. The idea is to develop compassion.    

Compassion is not about feeling sorry for someone and it certainly isn’t about placing oneself above others out of some kind of spiritual superiority.

Compassion is the acknowlegement of what is true and understanding the difficulty there is in following what is true, because you’ve been there.

Having compassion for someone who is acting out of integrity does not mean that what they are doing is okay. It means that you recognize and understand how that could be you under different circumstances.

One of the most damaging expectations we have as human beings is the belief that we will be punished if we aren’t perfect. It has taught us to be so hard on ourselves – can’t make a mistake, can’t let down our guards for even one minute. This lack of compassion for ourselves leads us to this Sacred Cow: 

“Condition the people to be critical of themselves and others.”

Tip this Cow and see if you can begin to feel more balanced in your situation.

Sacred Cow Tipping – Family Identity

Saturday, November 25th, 2006

Countdown: 6 Days remaining of 30 Days to Creating a Change in Direction

Our Sacred Cow today is primarily genetic in nature. As part of the Human Family we have all had experiences that are handed down through our families of origin that form a kind of “family identity”.

Most of us have already released our direct agreement with this Sacred Cow:

“Annihilate those who think or believe differently.”

However, we may still be holding the various family identities that were formed on account of acts of intolerance and war in the past. For example, I know that in my family history, there was a period of time where we were literally thrown out of Europe because of our religious beliefs. It was a traumatic event that left it’s mark on how the family thought of itself and how it felt it should act as a result. After more than four centuries, I still find myself identifying with the imprint of the “undesirable outsider”, and that is only one identity out of many.

As you play today’s game, see if you can tap into the various ancestral identities and attitudes that are still affecting you and release your agreement with them. In that way, not only will you detach from the Sacred Cow; you will also detach from the unconscious behaviors that support it.

Sacred Cow Tipping – Carte Blanche

Friday, November 24th, 2006

Countdown: 7 Days remaining of 30 Days to Creating a Change in Direction

Doesn’t it seem as though there must be some hidden code somewhere that says it’s okay for officials and people in trusted positions to take resources earmarked for the public good and use them for their own purposes? Somehow, they think they can get away with it, carte blanche.

The law of cause and effect would normally prohibit this kind of a result. The only way it could possibly happen with such regularity is if we have a collective agreement to:

  • Allow such things as the misappropriation of funds and resources.
  • Put up with repeated broken treaties, agreements and pacts.
  • Tolerate the chronic abuse of natural and man-made law.
  • Have citizens pay the karmic price for an official’s actions.
  • Force customers to bail out dishonest or irresponsible business behavior.

Sacred CowI don’t think our change in direction would be complete without tipping this Sacred Cow:

“The Status Quo has complete freedom to act as they wish or thinks best.”

Play our game and take back more of your power to say, “no”.
