What and Who We Listen to Is Very Important Right Now.
Are You Choosing Resolution or Conflict? Continuity or Disruption? Lack or Abundance?
YOUR CAKE
Why not have YOUR CAKE and eat it too?
Why not choose resolution, continuity AND abundance? This is where our true strength lies.
There is a very large effort focused on creating the belief that we must either choose this or that. If you are not with us you are against us. If you choose this, you can not also have that.

And this effort has been in place for a long time.
The big issue with this idea is that it implies our authority comes from somewhere outside of ourselves and this is not true.
We are responsible for our own lives and our own choices. Nobody has the right to choose for us – ever. That’s what free will is about. Each of us has our own authority. We need to exercise it. We have gotten into the habit of looking outside for someone else’s approval:
- The government,
- The medical community
- The church
- Our parents
- The neighbors
- Whomever or whatever…
It’s our call – not theirs.
Here are some NEW questions:
WHY?
Who came up with that absurdity?
Why is it true?
Why does it have to be this way or that?
Why can’t we choose this AND that?
Answer:
We CAN. Somebody’s been conning us for a long time.
It is THE GREAT SCAM – the great scam for all seasons.
Something dawned on me while watching a very poignant and powerful video this morning. The message was the same as the first time I had watched it – only this time I was different.
Something within me said: ”You need to communicate this message. This is the message.”
Somehow, it was clear that there is no: “either/or”. Our choices are not absolutes and there is no rule in the universe that says if you choose this, you can not also choose that.
There is either…
and
There is either/and.
You can choose this AND that AND that AND whatever else you want. And by choosing one, you do not eliminate the other choice. You can go back and choose it again later or add it – OR NOT. It’s up to you.
Either/Or is a fallacy. It’s a control game. Somebody made it up. It is not TRUE. Quit buying into it. Throw that rule out and let it decompose in your compost pile. Delete it from your thinking and your vocabulary. It is not law and never was.
We have been told and trained to believe that we can not have our cake and eat it too. What kind of crazy thinking created that idea? Of course we want to eat the cake. Why have it otherwise? Cake is for eating not looking at.
There is a grand effort to teach us that when we do challenge what we are being told, we are behaving in a way that unacceptable for the greater good.
Whatever happened to listening to different opinions and choosing for ourselves?
It wasn’t always this way. Questioning authority and challenging the status quo through thoughtful discussion and logical argument have historically been respected qualities among our greatest thinkers.
Here is a quote from Albert Einstein that seems to fit:
“Great spirits have always experienced violent opposition by mediocre minds.”
Remember, you can always change your mind and we often do.
The big fallacy really is this. If you have abundance, someone else will have to have less.
WRONG ANSWER. There is abundance for everybody and anyone can choose it without penalizing anybody else. Ignorance is not bliss and poverty is not a spiritual quality.
Abundance is. Wealth is a good thing. When we have more resources, we can help more people, our family and the community. We create more options for growth, expansion and improvement.
Remember what Mae West said:
“I’ve been rich and I’ve been poor. Believe me, rich is better.”
You can have your cake and eat it too. And you can try every flavor. Dig in.
Choose abundance. It is your right.
