Tonight I was thinking how all the ballyhoo around the flu is a smokescreen, a coverup that will upset people–just like the savings and loan scandal was for the arms scandal.

Even so, if we don’t want the flu shot, we need to stand up and say no if it come to our doors. Others will line up by the thousands. Let them.

In the bigger scheme of things, it is a pretty puny game. Did you ever see the movie Wag the Dog? It’s a perfect illustration of what’s going on. It’s a game that has repeated itself over and over again, and now it’s full of new players–too young to remember the history of what went before, too eager to win, too willing to accumalate, too anxious to look good and feel powerful to realize it’s all miniscule in the larger view of things. Yes, we need our goodies, our homes and tools–but do we really need billions?

What does the universe care whether or not Wall Street moguls take temporary power of a planet? What does it care that some little virus gets released?

The REAL question is how do *we* handle ourselves as we participate in the Game?

• We commit to ourselves to uphold our personal sense of integrity.
• We stand firm for our values.
• We quietly, lawfully and honorably say no to what hurts us.
• We say yes to and embrace that which grows the health and well-being of the entire vita-sphere.
• We say yes to big hearts, wholeness and affection.
• We quietly turn our backs on greed, selfishness and self-aggrandizement, knowing that without the water of our attention, they shrivel and die of thirst.
• We invent ways of being and doing that completely bypass attempts to endarken us.

I’ve gotten letters from people thanking me for what I have been writing over the last week or so, and from people who said they were ‘hopping mad’ about the flu thing.

OK, be hopping mad. And then calm yourself and make sober choices. Find out what you can do, and do it, and help others who want to, too.

Tap on how angry you are–and then

transform the energy to creativity–right smack in the face of what used to scare you. Fear can’t exist in the same space of expanded love, appreciation and humor.

There are a few pretty chilling videos on Youtube that show fields of large containers that are called ‘casket liners.’ What on earth??? 125,000 of them, then later on in another video, 500,000. (Curious? Not pretty–be prepared to wonder. go to Youtube and type in FEMA.)

I felt so sick after watching it. But after I tapped, I thought, wow, those things would make great containers for gardens! Poke holes in their bottoms, fill ‘em up and plant tomatoes, cukes and green onions–each one a big living salad box. Pumpkins to the max. Rows and rows of sprouting corn and beans and red hot peppers.

Sobriety is of the essence. If we the people are going to stay free and not allow any kind of slavery to be foisted upon us through our own ignorance, denial or complacency, we need to learn how to transform energy, not just tap to neutralize it.

The energy we feel that we call ‘negative’ is the very same energy that, once we clean it up, we can use to create what WE prefer.

That is so important I’m going to repeat it:
The energy we feel that we call ‘negative’ is the very same energy that, once we clean it up, we can use to create what WE prefer.

It’s up to us to vibrate at a higher frequency, to attract, magnetize and MANIFEST our highest dreams and ideals.

THIS is what the Secret is for. THIS is why we’ve all been learning how to tap and use our minds and hearts in combination. Can we do it?

You betcha. I believe in the power of you and me and us.

But we have to stay resolutely directed towards the Light; fill ourselves with it; ask it how to do the things we cave in about; ask it to help us when we quail.

And trust it when it calls us, when we call it for help, and when we fill with it in delight.

If the “bad guys’ didn’t do the bad things, how would our fantastic 2012 transformation come about? There wouldn’t be any because all would be peachy-keen-lala-lovely.

This is the yin and yang world–we can’t just have one without the other.

What happens to us is determined by our inner connection to Spirit and in our growing ability to create delight, beauty and equilibrium in the very face of opposition.

That’s the Real Game. That’s the Love Game. Are you willing?

p.s. Maybe you wonder why I included a shot of my garden tonight at sunset. I included it to share with you what I see every afternoon just before sunset–how the light makes the flowers, grass and plant leaves glow.

And because the more I feel fear and transform it into creative juice, and the more I use it for speaking out–because I always seem to be the one at the party who says what everyone else is too shy to say–I appreciate my lovely little garden oasis more and more each day.
