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 where people work together to get climate change under control. A place that is free from disrespect and exploitation is a place where miracles can occur much more easily and sustainable prosperity can be achieved.

Bearing Fruit in a Richer Garden

You can loosen up the soil that imprisons your own family tree if you can take just a few minutes out of your time. Look at the Sacred Contract Circle to your left and release these agreements:

“War and competition is the source of my prosperity.”
“ I have to be rooted in disrespect and exploitation.”
“There is no common ground.”
“Miracles are not possible.”

Play our tipping game, and release your agreement to abide by these Sacred Cows from the Status Quo.

Here is a recent issue that came up regarding downloading our Intuitive Learning material for one subscriber:

“I have a blackberry and am having a problem. You are interested in many things I need. I’m in co spgs, co how can I work with you? One question a sick friend has placed dream catchers many of them in her bathroom I had a weird feeling about that like somehow not contributing to her wellness
Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T”

Dear Paula,

I take it from what you’ve said that your blackberry limits what you can see on our website newsletters and the ebooks, etc. Is that correct?

If so, here is what comes to mind immediately. Can you download the pdf’s and take them (or email them) to a Staples or other printer/copy center and have them print them out for you? As a subscriber, I give permission for you to do that with our free downloads (Taming the Bear, 5 Lectures on Reincarnation and the Spiritual Attachment Assessment) if they have any copyright issues. One copy per subscriber, please.

Another option is to get an internet account through your local library. That should work well for the newsletters and Games for Change if you have signed up for them.

Another option is for you to tell me what you want and have me print them up and send them to you. We can do that for a small fee that covers the cost of printing and postage. For example, we have the “Creating a Tipping Point for Economic Prosperity” complied in ebook form and can send that to you.

If you want to purchase a Book or Game, I can print and mail them as well for the price listed, plus postage.

For personal work (energy work and feng shui)  – A lot of folks purchase the Soul Prayer Charts and Gifts from the Rainforest and then I work with them over the phone. The Intuitive Learning Circles transmit beautifully for long distance work.

The best way to proceed is for you to tell me what you’re interested in and then I can make more specific suggestions based on that.

*    *    *    *

As far as your friend goes, here is what I suggest: See if she’s willing to trade out her dream catchers in the bathroom for a hanging feng shui glass ball (you know the multi-faceted ones that look like they might be part of a chandelier) for a couple of weeks. See if she feels better and her energy improves. You can tell her that the glass ball sends away negative energy and brings more positive energy and light into her house.

Since there are so many factors that need to be taken into consideration with feng shui, and I’m not there to see what’s going on, the best thing is to try things out and see what effect they have.

I hope this is helpful. Contact me at contact@intuitivelearningcircle.com  if you have any more questions.

Blessings,

As I am writing this edition of our Tipping Point Game for Changing Our Frame of Mind, we are currently witnessing, via “death panels”, the perfect example of how the Status Quo is borrowing old tricks and pulling rabbits out of the hat when it comes to health care reform.

By appealing to the baser instincts of their constituents, the Old Guard seems to have successfully bullied and intimidated those leaders who claimed they were dedicated to changing the way our government works.

If this is all it takes to cave their determination, what will happen when matters of greater consequence are debated?

Remember how George W. Bush used to distract us with his confusing double-talk and poor grammar? While everyone got all upset and emotional about the gibberish that was being said, Dick Cheney and his cronies were busily working behind the scenes, organizing outrageous schemes under the table. By the time everyone figured out what was going on, it was too late. The damage had already been done and a course was set that led us to the place where we are now.

They were following the Sacred Cow that has supported innumerable acts of war, poor planning and bad decisions:

“Use distraction and fear to get what you want.”

What would have happened back then if we had stayed focused on what was important and let cooler heads prevail? Would we have spent trillions of dollars fighting a war that should never have happened in the first place?

Now, years later, we seem to be letting the same thing happen again. Will we actually allow hysterics to distract us from a moral responsibility that has been left in the ditch for too long?

Change Begins From Within

Think of your own life. How often do you get distracted from the real issue by cheap theatrics and emotional outbursts from certain people who have their own agenda? Can you stay focused on what’s in your long term, best interests in spite of their behavior? What are they doing that is distracting you?

You don’t have to give away your power to decide just because someone is behaving irrationally.

You can decide that going for solutions that benefit us all in the long run is preferable to succumbing to screaming and going for the short term solution that isn’t really a solution at all.

Be The Change You Hope To See

You can support an underlying change in consciousness by looking at the Soul Contract Circle below and affirming these statements:

“I release my agreement to be distracted from what is important.”

“I release any agreement I have to refuse to learn from the past.”

“I release my agreement to make important decisions based on emotional reactions.”

“I stop feeding the screamers with my attention and take affirmative action for the benefit of myself and my fellow human beings.”

You can replace those old Sacred Cows with this:

“I now make a commitment to make sane and balanced decisions that are in my long term, best interests.”

To understand how deeply these Sacred Cows have affected you, play the complete Tipping Game and help yourself shift into a whole new way of thinking.

I was recently at a workshop where people were talking about careers and livelihood and was struck by the common theme of hate. These were all good people, mind you, people who wanted to be happy and prosperous. Yet each and every one of them (including me) was holding on to a reason for their unhappiness.

Several people didn’t like the city they lived in – they found it too dry, not enough green, the people too “in your face”, too much poverty, etc. Other people didn’t like their jobs, the people they had to deal with or certain aspects of their work.

Many of them were facing physical illnesses including depression, fibromyalgia and anxiety and most of them consistently used the word “hate” to describe whatever was challenging them.

“I hate my job. I hate this person. I hate the gangs. I hate having to chase after the almighty dollar. I hate having to feel all the negative energy around me!”

Release the Binding Energy of Hate

I learned early on in my intuitive practice that hate is a binding energy. What I mean by that is when you “hate” something, your thoughts, your mindset and your energy gets very hard and constricted – not to mention your heart. The same goes for anger, however, anger is more of an immediate reaction – it usually comes up to let you know that something is off – something is wrong that needs your attention right away. It’s telling you that there is some aspect of this situation that isn’t good for you. Anger can be a very useful emotion when it motivates you to take productive action to change something that’s causing you harm.

Hate is different in that it has taken anger and hardened it into a whole belief system. It is a refusal to accept that there might be something good about the object of our hate. We focus our attention on it and send angry thoughts toward it, thinking that somehow doing so will make it go away and ease our suffering. Unfortunately, the opposite is true. The more we hate something, the more we are bound to it.

What You Put Out, You Get Back…Tenfold

The negativity is made worse when the status quo teaches us to react with these Sacred Cows:

“If you hate, you can make something go away.”

“Hate somehow makes you safer.”

“Hating something makes you superior to it.”

“Hate helps you to feel better about yourself.”

“When you hate something, you cause damage to it, but not to yourself.”

A Complex Pattern and Recipe for Unhappiness

To see these social contracts in action, all one needs to do is observe some one like Rush Limbaugh or some other politico that you “hate”. Mr.Limbaugh deliberately and seductively uses the energy of hate to keep himself in a position of power. Let’s look at it.

He taps into an existing prejudice and says something hateful, something guaranteed to offend a large sector of the population and suddenly all eyes are upon him. Those of us who who consider ourselves to be tolerant and peace loving find ourselves being sucked into the hate energy and mindset. We hate the hate mongerer and are now riding on the same bus with him.

With Rush, it’s all the more insidious because he knows what he’s doing. He’s consciously using these Sacred Cows to keep himself in the public eye. Hating him does not make him go away. It makes him more powerful and it keeps the Sacred Cows fed, all fat and pleased with themselves. They say, “Look how easy it was to get them to buy into our delusion.”

So how do we get off the bus? How do we relieve the stress and suffering that comes with the mindset of hate?
I suggest that we start by releasing our agreement to hold on to hate as if it is helpful to us.

Look at the Soul Contract Circle below and imagine that you can burn and release any social contracts that are causing you harm. You can use the affirmation below it to help you:

It’s amazing how much energy you can free up by doing this and as intuitive people, we can do even more.

Emotions are Simply Energy in Motion = e-motion

We can sense the energy that’s being put out, right? So we can use that ability to disperse the energy too!

You can use this symbol to help you get in contact with with the energy pattern of hatred and dissolve it. All you have to do is look at this symbol, relax and get in contact with that hardened pattern of hate. Once you have it, use your intention to dissolve it, like dark clouds dispersing in the atmosphere.

Once you’ve freed your mind, attention and energy from the grip of hatred, you can go through the Tipping Point Game to get even more centered and find out what would work better for you.

We all have a desire to be free of suffering and head in a direction that will bring us happiness. None of us need any more hate. Don’t let it get you to take the wrong bus.

Get off the Bus by Tipping this Sacred Cow!

I have been working at an Animal Shelter lately (Animal Humane of New Mexico), working with dogs that are timid, shy or otherwise difficult to place in a new forever home. Recently, a young dog came in who was shot in the jaw and left for dead. The folks at the shelter named him “Casino” because he was found wandering around a Casino just outside of Albuquerque. I was asked to do some Reiki energy work on him because he was obviously in a bad way. Because he was young and such a sweet dog, the vets in the shelter had taken the time, effort and expense to rewire and reconstruct his jaw.

My friend Lisa, the behavior specialist, mentioned that she hoped that he would get adopted in spite of being a black dog.

I had never even thought of such a problem, but she informed me that black dogs, especially big, black dogs are often very difficult to place and the last to be adopted in shelters all around the country, if at all. I couldn’t believe it or didn’t want to, however, it appears to be true. Check it out at Black Dog Syndrome.

“Black dogs are commonly the last, if at all, to be adopted. Destined for death in many shelters they are passed up for whatever the reason.”

Release the Unconscious Social Contract

Prejudice runs deep and is often very unconscious. As children, we read about about black cats and Halloween, and buy into the superstition before we’re even old enough to understand what it means.

The old Sacred Cow that says

“White means good and black means bad”

has been part of the archetypal mythology for far too long. I hope you’ll join me in releasing your agreement to continue supporting it in any way. Just look at the Soul Contract Circle below and affirm to yourself -

“I release any social agreements or conditioning that discriminates against the color black in whatever form it takes.”

Then play our Sacred Cow Tipping Game to see how truly detrimental these kinds of superstitions and prejudices are to a society. While you are playing the game, you’ll get an opportunity to envision a different kind of world for yourself and others – including “Casino”.

PS. Casino is looking for a temporary foster home while his jaw heals – if you can help him or any other shelter animal by fostering, contact Animal Humane at (505) 255-5523 or your local Animal Shelter.

SOS

When I’m working with the dogs, I use Formula #Two and Three from “Soul Oriented Solutions – A Handbook of Formulas to Use in Times of Emotional Crisis” often.

Formula #Two helps to heal the broken spirit of a dog and help him recover from the trauma of being abandoned.

Formula #Three is good to use on dogs that are all wound up, confused or just all over the place.

All I have to do is go through the formula as I pet or massage Rover and imagine that the symbols are being placed all over the dog. I’m always amazed at how easy it is and how they really respond!

Not only that, but if you are at all intuitive, you will probably get some messages about the dog and how you can help him even more. I really want to encourage you to use the formulas in SOS to help your dog calm down naturally.

SOS was named Winner in the 2008 New Mexico Book Awards.

We are getting closer and closer to releasing our economic agreements with the Status Quo. However, before we’re finished this particular series of Cow Tipping Games, we really must handle this major Sacred Cow accompanied by her siblings, because they would just love to keep us stuck in the mire of doubt, fear and cynicism:

“Without the Status Quo in charge, the world will 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?”

Reclaim Your Faith in Yourself

Those kinds of thoughts have never lead us in a positive direction, they take us right back to avoidance of our own power and being willing to settle for less.
“Things will never change, we might as well give up.”
“It’s too hard. We don’t have a chance – we’re screwed.”
“Let’s face it, there’s no way out.”
“I’m too scared to make a decision, make it for me.”
“I’m stuck, we’re stuck, the whole world is stuck.

We aren’t stuck; the Status Quo  is stuck and we need to stop following the Status Quo. It feels really sticky and unpleasant, that’s true. However, the very fact that we’re feeling it so strongly means that we’re breaking away from it. Don’t give up!

Look at the Sacred Contract circle to your right and let go of your personal, familial and cultural agreement to be lead around by fearmongering of 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.

Creating a Tipping Point for Sustainable Economic Prosperity

The Status Quo is at it again – trying to blow the smoke of denial in our eyes. They would like us to rescue the Old Economy and bring back the old ways of manipulating commerce and unsustainable business practices.

What is actually required is to move forward and build the infrastructure for a New Economy based on sustainability, access and accountability. Yet the Sacred Cow that says, “Keep looking backwards” is front and center, stubbornly digging it’s heels in to sabotage any real change.

Most people know in their heart of hearts that the old economy is dying. The Old Guard would love to feed the sense of hopelessness and fear with their carefully calculated doomsday predictions and the Media will gladly oblige.

What we can do to pull the plug on this kind of thinking is to turn our focus towards businesses and solutions that are being built now, rather than spending our precious resources on keeping the Titanic afloat.

To do that, we will have  to release our social contract to comply with “Keep looking backwards”. One way to do that is to consciously make some new decisions.

Take a look at the Soul Contract Circle above and use these affirmations to break the contract:

“I release my agreement to buy into the fear, denial and doomsday thinking of the Old Guard.”

“I release any agreements I have to feed them with my attention or energy.

“I stop supporting those who are greedy or irresponsible.”

“I now focus on building the infrastructure for a sustainable economy.”

If you want to change your focus even more, you can play the entire Sacred Cow Tipping Point Game.

Creating a Tipping Point for Economic Prosperity

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, and it’s being used now with the economy:

“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 don’t want the economic recovery plan to help the people that need it the most. They think they are able to depend on compliance because the victims are so used to being abused, falling into the role almost automatically. A victim readily accepts blame because that is what they have been trained to do through repeated traumatic events.

Freeing Up the Victim Mentality

Look at the Sacred Contract Circle to your right and go through this checklist of agreements that support the identity of being a victim:

“I release the agreement that I am to blame for things others do.”

“I retract any statements I have made while being threatened.”

“I completely forgive myself for the mistakes I believe myself to have made.”

“I am forgiven, regardless of what any other person has told me.”

Now go through the tipping point game and let’s tip this Sacred Cow to send a clear message that there is another choice.

Thank you for your participation – the energy that you are freeing up through this process is making a difference on how bad this economic crisis gets.

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.

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.
