Sacred Cow Tipping - ScapegoatingDay 24 of 30 Days to Creating a Change in Direction It's an important day on our journey and the Status Quo has called out "Old Reliable", the Sacred Cow that always knows what to do when the going gets tough: "Find a scapegoat to distract attention and defer responsibility." This age-old custom of sacrificing an individual, group or race is affectionately called "the blame game" and is responsible for entangling humanity in most of her Civil Wars. She has a very seductive quality that we have difficulty resisting. Yet, in order for us to manifest the change in direction we desire, it is imperative that we keep the transition as smooth as possible. Indulging in scapegoating today has the potential to bring our momentum to a halt. You can help by releasing your personal, familial or racial agreement to participate in the scapegoating game. Play our Sacred Cow Tipping game to make sure that "Old Reliable" can't use your energy to stop progress.

propeace quoteAll ideologies end up killing people. If you separate love from nonviolence you turn nonviolence into an ideology, a gimmick. Structures that are not inhabited by justice and love have no liberating or reconciling force, and are never sources of life. daily omrecent blog postsactive discussions

False*Fear
It is the shepherd who leads the lambs to slaughter with the false fear of the wolf, who's aim is to keep the sheep roaming free, healthy and united.
There is really no reason to hate anyone, especially those who hate you or act aggressive toward others, you see they hate and fear themselves so much that most of the harm which they think is being focused on another, just reflects back and sits recoiled inside their being, digging and clawing the very inside of their heart to a useless, bloody sack of vile, putrid waste, it is a sad thing, which one can only pity.
One is both the mirror and the reflection, seek not to give energy, but to return light.
