WHAT WE FIGHT -- WE FORTIFY

Wars are never won.
The War on Terror.......
The War on Poverty.......
The War on Cancer........
The War on War........

When we focus specifically
On a need for a "cure" or a "solution" to a problem
We bring equal attention and negative energy to bear upon the dis-ease itself,
Augmenting it.
When we oppose,
We empower what we oppose,
And get towed around by it
By the nose-rope.
This is the Law of Polar Opposites --
Inescapable in this world of self-balancing Duality that we live in.

How do we break a tightening nexus?

Ask any dolphin or dog trainer worth their salt --
Give undesired behaviour no energy,
No feedback whatsoever,
Neither approval nor disapproval.
Do nothing.
Say nothing.
No disapproval?
Yes, you read correctly.
Disapproval reinforces the disapproved behaviour,
And drives it out of sight and out of light,
Where its power becomes more insidious.
When a human being can't get an experience of approval,
We'll settle for, and energetically feed off disapproval.
In the long term,
Nagging has never worked,
And never will.

If your attempts to correct a situation aren't working,
Try another way.
First work on the only thing you CAN effectively work on --
Your contribution to the conflict;
Reclaim your power and balance:
Give up your vain need to control what's going on.
Take what you get , when you get it,
And up-level every addiction to a preference,
And every preference to one of a growing number of possible options.
Surrender and allow,
And find a creative and supportive way to engage
With any incremental steps that show up towards
What you DO want.
