Unfortunately in our society we are taught where to find the solutions to our problems outside of ourselves. In so many ways that is an efficient way to meet challenges, but there are situations where external authorities don't have the answers. I think that is the case globally with the problems we face. There is no quick simple answer. The sacrifice we all are being asked to make requires us to let go of the conditioned past that didn't work and participate from our deepest inner wisdom.
The only way I survive an incurable disease is to focus beyond thinking and tap the Wisdom of my Body. That requires going beyond my selfish interests and developing life skills like a positive self image, self trust and confidence. The beyond thought reality is similar to what athletes call the Zone. We all have that ability when we go beyond our normal ways of thinking, but the way we think defines who I am. At least, that is what most of us think.
If society was able to follow President Obama from a Zone consciousness, selfishness wouldn't sabotage our efforts. Then we could follow someone who could possibly lead us from the mess we are in. The sacrifice of our own thinking reality is really what is asked for. For if we focused beyond our thoughts there still would be a reality: It just wouldn't be created or limited by our mind.
That is where the life skills of confidence and trust become essential. Confidence in Latin, con fide, means with faith. We need confidence to go beyond the security of thinking and connect to our powerful inner resources. Unfortunately our thoughts and possessions define who we are and we hold onto them, but if we are to participate in President Obama's dream, we need to let go of the past and participate from our deepest inner wisdom.
Now this depth is really not so out of the ordinary, we just don't know it because we focus on thinking so much. Just as our breath goes in and out, we can develop habits that take us from thinking to that depth and then back to our thinking mind. We have learned a shallow breath which ignores that depth. Shallow breathing keeps us on a superficial level and we ignore our deepest wisdom.
Are you willing to participate from that depth to help our President? If you are, you will take part connected to powerful inner resources in a selfless way.

The most we can do for our country begins within us on a very deep level. When we sacrifice thinking, we let go of our mind and an inner wisdom emerges. Learn how to tap the life skills that take you deep within at a Tele-seminar you can register for at http://lifeskillsinc.com
Read my E-book A Healthy Way to be Sick on that website also. The purpose of that e-book is to show how to face challenges with the Wisdom of our Body.We all have a part to play in this solution.
