Hi everyone,

How are you all going with the Power to Cooperate?

– Are you experiencing a feeling of union around you?…            If not, why do you think that might be?…                    – If yes, how are you contributing to that?…

Remember – no matter what is going on around me, if I stop cooperating and start resenting or resisting, I not only become part of the problem, but I’ve allowed whatever obstacle to consume me because I had no strength to transform it. This is not to be hard on ourselves – on the contrary – this is to help us recognise a rather sneaky area where we often give away our power… We already feel hurt, but now due to frustration (one of many faces of anger) rising within me I collude with the destructive behaviour of others as I take on their stuff – I throw the ball back and lose perspective of my own value. Cooperating with others is not just to benefit others, it’s to benefit ourselves as well. Don’t focus on the situation or on the behaviour of others, instead to cooperate means I keep a firm eye on my own power, so I can nourish myself and continue to give, without being taken for granted.

Love Annemarie 🙂
