How
are you at Honoring your Word?
|
In the beginning was the
Word and from that all was created. This is where our
true power comes from. Once we truly begin to
understand how powerful our word is we will begin to
understand how we have the power to stop all wars; in
our home, our community, our country, our world, and the
universe around us.
Who would you have to be
to play this game?
Everyone Included, No
One Left Out!
In order for us to help
express the Power of Our Word we would like to share
with you a family story, which includes our neighbor
Mark who we consider to be part of our family.
The Family Story
One day I noticed my 15
year old son, was spending a lot of time in his room
playing computer games. Those of you who have kids and
especially boys may relate to this. I also notice that
although he was having a lot of fun he was also hiding
out from the rest of the family. The strange thing was
it looked very much like my life when I was his age. I
could tell he was hiding out because I did the same
thing at that age.
Now a lot of us think
this is just normal teenage behavior. What I know from
my experience is that there was a lack of love and a
break down of family values.
I had a talk with my son
and said "I know you like the computer games and you are
having fun and I know you are also hiding out in your
room from the rest of us. What I want you to know is
that I have created a dysfunctional family. I have
killed off our family communications with you by my
greed for holding my time to be more important than our
time together. I have gained agreement through divide
and conquer that let other family members to see you as
less so we could be better, have more, or have it our
way. I have not been a true leader of this family and
have not managed it fairly with the love and compassion
that would make you even want to come out of your room
and be around us".
He said, "Duh! Like what
took you so long to figure that out!"
I said "I love you and I
am taking a stand to include and complete with you and
everyone in this family as opposed to divide and
conquer. I said I don't have all the answers right now
although I have the commitment to you right now and
forever". We talked much more about our family,
grandparents, and their grandparents. We both cried and
became much closer in our relationship because of our
sharing.
Divide and Conquer
As the weeks passed, I
explained what the difference was in my mind between
divide and conquer and include and complete. Divide
and conquer is an act out of survival as opposed to
include and complete which is an act out of love.
Divide and conquer is
something I learned, and we, as the human race, have
learned and have used for thousands of years and
continue to use today. We use it to split up two
people, groups of people, nations, races, genders,
political groups, rich and poor, ect. We see it every
day in our home, at work, on the news, and in the
world. We gain agreement on one side while splitting
off the other side, then conquer them, then control
them, and kill off those that get in our way.
It has worked for
thousands of years because of a low level of
consciousness or maybe even un-conscious thinking. We
have had the luxury of using it and abusing it because
we simply have not been at a level of power that it
really mattered. We have now reached a point in time
that we no longer have that luxury. We now have the
knowledge and power to kill every living thing on this
planet through nuclear and biological war.
Include and Complete
"So what does include and
complete mean and how does that work?" my son asked. I
gave him and the rest of my family my meaning and how I
will manage this and how they could manage it as well.
Let's use an example of a
family dinner and we are all at the table eating. This
by the way is a very important part of family bonding
that is fading away from many homes so I suggest we all
bring this most important ritual back into our lives.
When I see a family
member at the table being very quiet and another one
dominating the conversation I engage with the one
talking and comment on their topic and then ask them to
include and complete. This means for them to look
around and spot the person that is being quiet and ask
them what they think about the topic or engage them in a
topic they are interested in.
The intent is to balance
out the conversation, tone down the one dominating the
conversation and include the person being quiet. What
we are doing here is completing our conversation and
including someone else so they can express who they are
and what they are up to or interested in. We want to
get to know them and have them realize we love them and
are truly interested in them too.
For the first few weeks
my daughter was very upset with this new balance of
power in our family. As normal the competition between
brothers and sisters and of course adults does not go
down or away very easily. We could all see the dynamics
of our family changing right before our eyes and changes
can be difficult although this was well worth the work,
dedication, and intention for more love and equality in
the family. Are we now a perfect family? Far from it.
Do we experience much more love, harmony, and fun, in
our family? Yes, we do and by constantly managing
include and complete it just keeps getting better.
The Balance of Power
This balance of power in
the family is always a dance, never perfect, and always
the intention we strive for. Realizing I was in the
un-conscious world of divide and conquer was not easy.
It took coaching from all members of my family and many
seminars, and I had to be very coach-able to get it.
Universal Peace
Once I realized it I then
began to understand how that same principle worked
outside my home and in my neighborhood, place of work,
in my nation, and in the world. I finally had the power
to stop all wars one person at a time. How could I make
a difference in any war? Well now I know, include and
complete, one person at a time. The concept works and
spreads from your home, where it starts, and out into
the world. We have had people living off this planet
now for a few years in places like the international
space station, and soon the Moon and Mars. We are
moving beyond peace on earth to universal peace.
We asked our daughter
"how would you end the war in Iraq". She said "I would
ask the people of Iraq what they wanted". Now there is
an example of simple wisdom and truth that the innocence
of a child can bring forth.
Our family members looked
at each other and said yes! We need the people of
America speaking to the people of Iraq and other nations
not just the leaders. We need to tell them the truth
and the lies we have been holding and find out what they
really want so we can truly have a relationship that
works. Not one dictated by the leaders of nations. We
came up with Dialogs For Peace
www.DigPeace.org. This is a forum for creating the
conversations between the people of nations which is
filled with possibilities.
The Power of Our Word
We do create our world
and our universe from the Power of Our Word. The lie
that we tell our self is we don't have the power to stop
the war on fossil fuels. What we are not willing to say
to the world is that we want the cheapest gas, food, and
everything else on the planet and we are willing to kill
for it. We will also put the blame on any president,
republican or democrat, so we do not have to accept
responsibility for our actions, mostly because we lie to
ourselves thinking we just do not have the power to do
anything about it.
We have the Power
We do have the power through the technology of our words
like include and complete and through the technology of
our tools like solar and wind. When we really get our
responsibility in 9/11 we can take our technology to the
world and give the gift of true power and freedom we are
capable of giving.
