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.

I 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”.

Countdown: 8 Days remaining of 30 Days to Creating a Change in Direction

In America, we are taught that being “nice” is the same as being co-dependent. In my practice, I find that the number one cause of stress came from people not being able to say “no’ and doing things for other people without asking. Whether it’s a business, friend, family or romantic relationship, the story is nearly always the same.

Interestingly enough, once the agreement was released and the person seriously decided to stop, either by saying “no” or by letting go of their need to fix the other person or the situation, their physical, mental and emotional health immediately improved, almost like magic.

Think about disagreements that happen during family get-togethers. Ninety percent of the time it’s because someone is pushing too far into someone else’s business.

Where does this urge to poke into other people’s privacy come from? It’s a learned agreement from Society and if you doubt it, look at what we’re doing in Iraq.

Perhaps its time to release our collective, personal and familial agreement with this Sacred Cow:

“Interfere in other people’s business without their permission.”

Thanks for playing.

Countdown: 9 Days remaining of 30 Days to Creating a Change in Direction

In order to firmly establish ourselves in the direction of peace and prosperity, our job will be much easier if we are unfettered by obligations that chain us to the past. One of the most effective ways that the Status Quo keeps from moving forward is through the negative use of debt. If we still owe our allegiance to outmoded and detrimental processes, it will be much more difficult to initiate and fully develop progressive models of society that include diversity, personal sovereignty and equal opportunity.

It’s easy to understand how financial debt can limit our potential and luckily, people don’t get thrown in debtor’s prison anymore; however, there are other kinds of prisons. Indebtedness to old ways of being and doing affects us on a spiritual, mental, emotional and collective level as well.

Some examples of how we might still be chained to debts from the past:

• Feeling guilt or shame because of the actions of our ancestors (slavery, genocide, and criminal activity).
• Carrying the burden of responsibility for what others do or have done.
• Limiting one’s ability to prosper because others are poor.
• Subordinating the ability to create to those in charge.
• Waiting for permission to be granted from the Status Quo before doing what is in our best interests.
• Going to war because of our obligation to our country.
• Suffering under the stigma of caste or class.
• Feeling obligated to continue certain beliefs, attitudes or professions.
• Being suicidal over money.

For all the reasons above and many others, let’s tip this Sacred Cow:

“Use debt to imprison the people.”

Countdown: 10 Days remaining of 30 Days to Creating a Change in Direction

It is almost as if the Family Tree of Humanity is rooted in the fields of war, unrest and devastation and is unaware that there are also fields of prosperity, cooperation and peace that we could be nurtured in.

Perhaps it’s because many of us buy into the rancor and shortsightedness of this Sacred Cow:

“Disrespect the Earth and those that inhabit her.”

If the collective agreement with that statement could be released, perhaps Humanity could choose to be replanted in common ground. A place that is free from disrespect and exploitation is a place where miracles can occur much more easily.

Play our tipping game, and release your agreement to abide by this Sacred Cow.

Countdown: 11 Days remaining of 30 Days to Creating a Change in Direction

Changing direction and holding the course requires trust. Unless we learn how to trust each other and ourselves we won’t be able to connect and align our goals. If we can’t align our goals, chaos will continue.

Therefore it is time to address the Sacred Cow behind propaganda, grudges, curses and witchhunts:

“Distort the minds of the people, so that they distrust themselves and react to their brothers and sisters with suspicion and fear.”

Play the Sacred Cow Tipping game.

This is a particularly important juncture on your journey. Without trust, it isn’t possible to break the pattern of prejudice. I suggest you play the game while thinking of someone that you are particularly distrustful of.

Day 17 of 30 Days to Creating a Change in Direction

The waters may have been quite turbulent for you the last few days. If you haven’t given up you instinctively know that somehow you are heading in a new direction towards peace and prosperity. Many other people have participated in this game, both within the U.S. and all around the world.

The next stage in your journey is almost ready to unfold. In the days to come, you will be continuing to connect and move forward more easily with others; yet in order for that to happen smoothly, it will help to take some time and allow yourself to stabilize before moving on.

One way to explain what’s happening is to think of this process as a bowl of Jell-O. You have combined the ingredients, heated them together and poured them into the mold. Now it’s time to allow the Jell-O to set. If you keep stirring it up, it won’t form properly. It’s time to chill a little, so to speak.

With that idea in mind, let’s release the collective contract behind some of the stress we’re experiencing via the media and the politicians. Today’s Sacred Cow is:

“Keep the fear going by fueling it with speculation, uncertainty and psychodrama.”

When our minds and bodies are kept under continual stress, we are like the Jell-o that won’t set. We’re more susceptible to illness, misinformation, fantasies and accidents. Tipping this Sacred Cow will calm down the external noise a bit. Then finding some time to rest and still your mind will be a tremendous help.

For those of you who are looking for additional support in calming down and quieting the mind, we have three games in an E-book called “Taming the Bear”, which is available for free to anyone who signs up for our monthly newsletter.

Day 18 of 30 Days to Creating a Tipping Point

Elections are an opportunity a new beginning and beginnings are always filled with a myriad of opportunities. Unfortunately, we have been trained by the media and Status Quo to be easily distracted by irrevelent arguments and speculation about the future or the past.

Our strength and power lies in being fully present so that we can recognize, evaluate and make quality decisions that are based on the facts. That is the only way to create unity of purpose. That is why today’s Sacred Cow is:

“Divide and conquer.”

We are all part of the social order, regardless of our individual positions or occupations. Taking advantage of the opportunities to create more unity will keep us from floundering in a sea of contradictory and partisan goals.

Tip the Sacred Cow of Divide and Conquer.

Day 19 of 30 Days to Creating a Change in Direction

The Status Quo is angry at the prospect of actually following a new direction. Because of all the progress that has been made by many dedicated hearts, the beast is weakened and frustrated in its attempts to regain control.

One of the tactics it is likely to try is to push the use of this Sacred Cow:
“Appoint friends and associates to positions of authority, regardless of whether or not they are qualified to be there.”

I suggest that we head this one off at the pass because we have fallen for it before and a lot of damage was done.

When you go through today’s tipping game, imagine you can go back through the history of your ancestors. Think about all the traumatic experiences they went through on account of decisions that some unqualified crony made; wars, occupations, genocide, crusades, slavery, broken promises, mismanagement and so on.

As the living heir of your family, exercise your authority and release all those agreements. See every last unjust appointment, treaty and decree burn away into nothingness. Then consciously make a new agreement to incorporate competence and honesty into your new direction.

Day 20 of 30 Days to Creating a Change in Direction

Long, long ago, the Status Quo established a particularly opportunist Sacred Cow to use whenever cornered by their own abuse of power. This collective agreement was bred and perpetuated into the people through the use of force and trauma to avoid responsibility:

“Blame the Victim.”

The way it often works is for the perpetrator to insist that they had no choice – they had to do whatever it was they did because of the victim. They are able to depend on compliance because the victims are so used to being abused, falling into the roll almost automatically. A victim readily accepts blame because that is what they have been trained to do through repeated traumatic events.

Let’s tip this Sacred Cow and send a clear message that there is always more than one choice. Thank you for your participation – you are making a difference.

Day 22 of 30 Days to Creating a Change in DirectionWe are heading for another major Sacred Cow and her siblings, and they just love to keep us stuck in the mire of doubt, fear and cynicism:

“Without the Status Quo in charge, the world would fall into chaos and be destroyed.”

This “big one” sets the playing field up so that the others can spread their misinformation and thinly veiled threats throughout the pasture, keeping people like us corralled into a scenario of doom and gloom. This manure creates thoughts in our heads, like these:

~ “You don’t know what you’re doing.”
~ “You obviously don’t understand.”
~ “You’re lost.”
~ “What if you make a mistake?”

Those kinds of thoughts don’t lead us in a new direction, they take us right back to avoidance of our own power and being willing to settle for less.

“It’s too hard. We don’t have a chance – we’re screwed.”
“I’m stuck, we’re stuck, the whole world is stuck. Let’s face it, there’s no way out”.

We aren’t stuck; we’re heading in the wrong direction. Let go fo your personal, familial and cultural agreement to be lead around by the Status Quo. Tip the cow and make a new commitment to a change in direction. Not just any change, a real change that has freedom, peace and prosperity at its core.
