In recent weeks we have witnessed many examples of what happens when we expect anger and rage to solve our problems. Hatred of this kind is an acting out of ancient patterns that are crying out to be healed. You may say, "those incidents are just an anomaly, Cho was sick, most people don't have that problem."

Say that to the people in Iraq.

"But that's way over there," you may say. "the Sunni's and Shiites all hate eachother."

I recently went to a meeting to promote an economy based on peace and the hatred, resentment, superiority and indignation was palpable. I drove home and watched several people be cut off and flipped off. I walked into the house to find my husband watching the TV. His eyes were practically bugging out, he was so outraged by the lies of the pundits shouting at eachother and the politicians making their excuses. Within moments, I found myself completely buying into it.

Sorry, folks. It's not just "out there." It's here in our hearts - a nasty old weed that feeds this Sacred Cow:

As Sacred Cows go, this one is primed to be tipped and if enough of us release our ancestral and collective agreement with it, we have a much better chance for seeking out a new way.
