Intuition Tip #11
Use Intuition to Stop Sabotaging Yourself and Your Work
In the work arena, the acting out of hidden agendas causes mistakes, wasted time, and unnecessary headaches, making the workplace an unenjoyable place to be. Stopping internal sabotage is a powerful way to increase an organization's effectiveness.

1. Become aware of your own and others' "yes-buts" and hesitations; learn to dissolve and move through them, and find the "gift in the garbage."

EXERCISE
Watch yourself carefully for the places where you pull back from moving forward. For a week, make physical notes of these avoidances. Where do you say "yes, but" and let that stop your action? Go into each situation in your imagination and take action in spite of your concerns. Run it through, letting yourself encounter obstacles, and overcoming them in various ways. Make notes about what you needed to do, whether doing the thing was worth it, or if you really wanted to do it at all. Each hesitation is there for a good reason; there's often a missing piece of data you need to include in your thinking. After you recognize your own hesitations, you'll be better able to help others deal with theirs.

What's Real Underneath? Editorial (cont)
(continued from righthand column. . .) So, politically, why are we reacting, or snapping back to a time when the world was highly divided and separatist? We are living into a time of global commonality, of shared humanity, where solutions are going to HAVE TO involve everyone and class distinctions are going to have to eventually disappear in the light of our Soul Awareness. Is this Marxist? I think not. I think we are headed toward an evolution of the best in capitalism and the best in socialism and even the core truths in imperialism and in dictatorships, etc.. . . We have to reexamine core motives and concepts, and reinvent politics, governance, nationality, and commerce.

So I'm asking those of you in reactionary mode right now: What are you so afraid of, and why are you choosing to live in a fear-based reality, unconsciously leaping back into the past, instead of being fully engaged in this super-alive moment, creating a new reality directly from soul, something that is fresh and new? Security is an issue that needs to be redefined as well, and it is now in our faces. . .

I feel strongly that this present period offers us an amazing opportunity to reprogram our thinking, to be able to see through the old separatist logic, which is now downright stupid, into an ingenious new way of materializing improved solutions to problems, which are really not just national anymore, but part of a global healing process.

PLEASE MAKE SURE TO GET OUT AND VOTE, AND INSURE THAT YOUR VOTE IS COUNTED!

Quotes from Rev. Charles H. Parkhurst
Quit imagining that somehow we are going, by some indescribable means, to drift into a better state of thing... say all you please about the might of the Holy Ghost... you and I have something to do about it. If we have a brain, or a heart or a purse, and sit still and let things take their course, making no sign, uttering no protest, flinging ourselves into no endeavor, the times will eventually sit in judgment upon us, and they will damn us.

Human reconstruction, however, is not complete unless along with the re-establishment of normal relations between man and God, the like result is achieved between man and man. The first does not carry the second along with it. It might seem that it ought to, but it does not. Being devout does not guarantee being fraternal... There are men who pray to God on Sunday and prey on their neighbors weekdays.

We have enough to make us all happy and thankful if we will be quiet long enough to take an affectionate inventory of our commonplace mercies, and let our hearts feel of them and mix themselves with them till we become saturated with their comfort and awaken into a loving sense of the patient goodness of their Giver.

WHAT'S REAL UNDERNEATH?
MARXISM? SOCIALISM? WHY TAKE THE FEAR-BASED VIEW?
I wrote this in response to some of my intuition colleagues, who were expressing worry over Obama's "dangerous," socialist leanings:

I am really surprised at those of you who are responding to the superficiality of the conservatives' charged and highly loaded accusations of Obama's being a Marxist, communist, terrorist, etc. Those words are OLD words that describe a highly fear-based reality from at least 50 years ago, when the paranoia and self-righteouosness of a McCarthy and a Nixon could be whipped to such a state that even friends could be turned against each other.

We, as intuitives and visionaries, are supposed to be on the leading edge of the new unity-based, love-based reality--the "new paradigm." Through our ability to experience oneness via intuition, and by our ability to know the unified field via our energy-sensitivity, we are the ones who should be showing others the way into realities that are based on fellowship, mutual support, conscious communion, and the healing of ancient emotional wounds and human suffering. Obama, as I sense him, is a person who lives via his intuition and sensitivity, who is trying to live cleanly and ethically into the new paradigm--as it emerges. He is looking for the new forms, and is not caught in old ones.

You cannot open up spiritually and enter the new energy-based reality that is presenting itself to us, without understanding--at a visceral level--the profound interconnectedness of all life, and that includes people of all political persuasions. If we really want to live this new life, we look for new organizational models that reflect the "new" truths. Both capitalism (and I like what Thom Hartmann says, that we are now in the "cancerous stage of capitalism") and communism, and all other forms of national organization, are by themselves flawed. They are functional in particular ways, and dysfunctional in other ways.

The West functions according to one perfectly good reality, for example, and the East by another. People from both East and West think their way is "the way life is"--unless you travel and work globally. When you do see the sanity of other ways of thinking and acting as perfect designs for specific situations and conditions, it humbles you and expands your perspective. For me, being international has expanded my view of what might happen if varying world views could be merged, if we could learn "how to be" in each other's actual reality constructs.
