Creating a Tipping Point for Economic Prosperity

There are many good reasons why people have difficulty changing direction and some of them have to do with our Sacred Cows.

The majority of these unconscious agreements are held in place by trauma.

By far, the biggest cause of trauma is war and the members of the old guard that perpetuate it. That’s why today’s Sacred Cows are:

“Treat people like commodities; use them up and then throw them away.”

And

“Only weak people experience post-traumatic stress.”

What is Post Traumatic Stress?

Personally, I have suffered from many of the symptoms of post traumatic stress for most of my life:

• Feeling fear about the future
• Difficulty concentrating
• Frequent boughts of insomnia or nightmares
• Feelings of guilt or helplessness
• Uncontrollable crying
• Flashbacks
• Shock and overwhelm.

As a child, I had a horrible time getting along with others and school was a major struggle. I grew up with constant panic attacks and seemed to get myself in trouble no matter what I did.

It wasn’t until my mid-thirties that I realized my behavior was not due to just being a bad person as I was often told. I had reasons for my apparent lack of control, and they were good ones. My father was a navigator in the Army Air Corps during World War II and the Korean War and had participated in countless bombing missions. When he came home, the U. S. Military gave him a couple of weeks R&R in the Carribean – no counseling and no opportunity to decompress from the horrors of war.

Needless to say, he was not ready to return and take up the role of “Father Knows Best”, the popular TV show of the time. He was moody, given to rages, migraines and had no patience for small children. I lived my preschool years in absolute fear of him and as a young adult, I rebelled and went out of my way to hurt him. It wasn’t until I was 44 and he was dying of cancer that I understood where the violence had come from; what had happened to our family and what was really responsible for it.

Before he passed away, my father shared his deep regret and guilt about killing so many people. The pain and remorse that he had been holding in was eating up his body and palpable on his face as he recounted wartime experiences that both humbled and horrified me at the same time.

I literally watched him go yellow and break out into a cold sweat while he detoxed a drug the military had given him in place of quinine as a “treatment” for malaria. Evidently the drug did nothing whatsoever to protect him or the thousands of other soldiers who took it from malaria, it was only intended to keep them on their feet no matter what. No wonder he turned into a workaholic and could never relax. The mass use of that drug may explain a lot about the health problems of many men of his generation – heart attacks, stoicism, emotional inaccessability, workaholism, alcolholism, not to mention cancer.

In his death, my father taught me something very important about post traumatic stress. He had spent his whole life running away from it, yet when he realized his time was running out, he began to accept what had happened and how frightened he had been. By providing him with a safe and loving place to talk, he was able to let it go emotionally, spiritually and physically. I know that by the time he passed away, he had made his peace with me and more importantly, with himself.

With him as an inspiration, I sought after a form of treatment that might be instrumental in breaking the cycle of war, abuse, learning disabilities and chronic health problems, and that is how the circles we use in our Tipping game came to be.

This set of Sacred Cows will not tip on their own. Please join me in playing this game.

Creating a Tipping Point for Economic Prosperity

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 allows 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

Reclaim Your Ability to Choose

This contract also gives the old guard 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

Look at the Sacred Soul Contract Circle to your right and ask yourself:

“Are these arbitrary value judgments coming from outside of me having a negative effect on me or my 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 to this assertion by respectfully releasing any familial, racial or national agreement that says it has to be that way. Play our Sacred Cow Tipping Point game and take back your power to freely choose what has value for you and what doesn’t.

Tip All Sixteen Sacred Cows on Economic Prosperity!

Kuan Yin is helping us with her I Ching readings and divinations to interpret larger trends and the feng shui remedies that will assist us in moving forward and adapting to the energy of the cosmos during this time of economic and social upheaval. She is very direct and to the point, even though she is known as a Goddess of Compassion. Her messages are intended to offer practical advice and suggestions that will inform and illuminate our perceptions so that we can go through what she calls “the quickening” as quickly as possible.

The I Ching Reading

Kuan Yin’s message for December is:
“Admitting Erroneous Thinking Paves the Road to New Innovation”

“There is a problem in the thinking of your countrymen that has to be addressed before any further progress can be made. You may say that your economy is “stuck” yet we would say that it is more like a broken chalise.

Having money without integrity is the ultimate form of bankruptcy, for solvency is impossible without an intact container. No matter how much money you pour into a broken system, it will be to no avail because the leakage is not addressed.

The leak that is causing so much problem is not repairable. That is the bad news.

The good news is that there are other chalises that are ready to fulfill the purpose of economic prosperity. Therefore the problem is not so much about fixing what is. It is about shifting priorities and perspectives in a way that may seem strange to you.

A tipping point has been reached you see, and there is no going back to the way it was.

No doubt there will be much teethgnashing and dramatic experiences waiting around the bend. We would say that all is not lost if you can remember that sticking together is your best hope. Stay calm, support one another and do what you can to shift your perspectives and priorities in a new direction. This Sacred Cow Tipping Game provides a structure for you to reframe your thinking and let go of collective assumptions that have gotten you into this predicament.”

Moreover the abundance of light and color brings cheer to your hopes and dreams.

Build a tree this year with the intentions of being a light to the world, for you are all lights and don’t forget that.”

Navigating Our Troubled Economic Times

As a special feature of our e-zine and blog, Kuan Yin is sharing her I Ching readings and divinations to interpret larger trends and the feng shui remedies that will assist us in adapting to the energy of the cosmos.

As events in the external world clearly indicate, the change that we have been asking for is already upon us. Unfortunately, many decaying and corrupt elements must be faced and transmuted in the process. That is why Kuan Yin is very direct and to the point, even though she is the Goddess of Compassion. Her messages are intended to offer practical advice and suggestions that will inform and illuminate our perceptions so that we can go through what she calls “the quickening” as quickly as possible.

Kuan Yin’s advice as we go into October, 2008 is: “Access Peace from Within”

“The Culture of America is filled with instant gratification and external pleasures. This cycle in your evolution is over. The time has come to learn the value of patience and your own inner resources.

You have power and ability far beyond your current concepts of who you are. The world looks to you for guidance. Now it is time to find your guidance within your heart. Take comfort for you are not alone, nor are you forgotten.

The quickening requires a temperance for your tendency to consume. This you will do, either willingly or unwillingly. Those who temper themselves are blessed with new resources. Those who remain emotionally entangled in the past will suffer greatly. Creating healthy boundaries between you and the Mass Consciousness of Fear will assist you.

Negative circumstance in your external world are mirroring an internal imbalance. Use your senses to determine what is causing your problem. Simplicity is the key and solution. Your intuitive skills will benefit from this short game.”

Countdown: Day 4 of 30 Days to Creating a Change in Direction

The violence in Iraq is showing us where the core of the problem lies – sectarian violence. The question to ask here is, “Are they (we) really fighting because of the differences in their faith, or are they (we) fighting because of the hatred and insecurities of their leaders?”

It would be very helpful if we could separate our ties to religious leaders from our true faith.

“Six degrees of separation is the hypothesis that anyone on Earth can be connected to any other person on the planet through a chain of acquaintances with no more than five intermediaries.” ~ Wikipedia

What if we were to follow all of our respective family lines and our own past and release every agreement, decree, or vow that supports this Sacred Cow:

“It is not possible to have a direct relationship with the Divine.”

Perhaps, by using this theory to tip the Cow, we might be able to calm the fires that are burning so fiercely.
