It was January 31, 2010 when I first shared this Post. Think about what has happened since then and think about how little things have changed. The Paradigm or Directive of Competition is still winning out and as a result the entire human family and most of life on planet earth is suffering. What are we doing? How bad does it have to get before each of us rises (as Dr. M. put it)?

Who said life is suppose to be easy? It is more about finding the balance between the Fight-or Flight Response and the Peaceful Space Response. As you look around at the natural environment you can see that competition is a central component of life. From the tiniest organisms to the global ecosystem, at every level of existence we see evidence of competition. Even when you try to quiet your mind you must overcome the chatter of what has been called our noisy monkey mind. Competition is present in the inner and outer world, in the micro and the macro manifestations of reality. Even the Dark Matter and Dark Energy that Dr. M. discusses in the Handbook are in a competitive dance with one another.

The natural environment also manifests the characteristics of a cooperative system where each of the parts serves its unique function insuring its own survival through its service to the survival of the whole. This cooperative relationship between planets, animals, insects, and other aspects of the environment appears essential to long term sustainability. Dr. M. wanted to share this story with you!
A very long time ago, three men and their wives lived within view of each other. Each man had a special talent, one a master of wood, another a master of the soil, and the third a master of the animals that lived in their area. Being masters, they were each alpha males, independent, stubborn, and proud. The master of wood built a beautiful home for he and his wife, full of handmade furniture and carved wooden beams. But they had almost no food. In fact, they were slowly starving themselves. From their second story patio they could see the master of the soil and his wife working their land which was full of food that made their mouths water. The master of the soil and his wife had plenty of food but they had only a palm leaf hut as a shelter from the weather and a place to call home. At the edge of the master of the soil’s land, the terrain took a gentle slope into the valley were the master of the soil and his wife could see the master of the animals and his wife grazing and feeding their animals on the dry grass that grew between the slope and the range of mountains that provided a rock canopy as their shelter. Alpha males are by nature more competitive with each other so contrary to their otherwise logical minds, the three masters always took a competitive view of each others condition, a fact that kept each of them limited in their condition and in a state of constant stress (Fight-or-Flight Response).
One night, the Enia made the three women dream together. They dreamt that they were together at a common well. They each shared the good news that they were with child, but none of them was smiling. The wife of the master of wood said that she was afraid for her unborn because they had no food. She shared that she and her husband scavenged their barren land at night like animals to find things to cook that no human should each. The wife of the master of the land said that she was afraid because her unborn might not survive if it they had to take shelter under palm leaves from the weather. She added, but her husband is so proud and stubborn. The wife of the master of the animals agreed that their rock canopy was no place to raise a baby and that they need more than milk and eggs to survive. The women dreamt what their husbands would do when they heard the news.
Weeks later, on the same day, each woman announced to her husband the good news that she was pregnant. That night the Enia made the husbands dream together. They dreamt of their wives and their children not having shelter, being without food, and not knowing that a part of the world was green, yellow, and red. The dream triggered the Peaceful Space Response in each of the masters and the next day they met and worked out a plan to cooperate with each other for the sake of their wives, their unborn, and their mutual survival. The plan was the Prime Directive!
What our world needs now is…! What do you think?

I am not surprised by the conflict we see in our world. The Mysterious Dr. M. and the Enia predicted this relentless degradation if the Ti-Enia do not change their attitudes and behaviors. Each of us has a role to play. The Enia plant their seeds of wisdom into the Ti-Enia's dreams. But in your and my reality most of the Ti-Enia are asleep even when they are walking around and going through their daily life. We say people should have the opportunity to make informed choices. Our children are growing up thinking that this competition-driven madness is the only way to be in the world. They should at least be told and shown that there is an alternative. You could plant the Prime Directive in someone's mind everyday, like a seed, trusting that when the time is right the seed will grow.
