The One Secret to Changing the World that Nobody Talks About By Dr. Lissa Rankin
Recently, when he was driving the Omnitrans Route 8 along Lugonia in the evening, he was startled to see someone run into the middle of the street and attempt to flag down passing cars. “I wasn’t sure what was going on,” Donald says. “At

first I was worried it was a drug addict or something, and there was no way I was going to get involved. Suddenly he jumped in front of my bus, waving his arms, and I was forced to stop. I could see that it’s this kid about 14 or 15-years old. He looked absolutely terrified and was crying hysterically. I had a gut feeling that he wasn’t a threat. There was seriously wrong though, and he needed help. When you’ve worked with kids as long as I have, you have a pretty good instinct when someone is safe. So when he came to the side, I opened the door.” Shaking and in tears, the boy explained that a group of kids had ganged up on him and tried to rob him. One had a gun and demanded that he turn over his cell phone. Afraid for his life, the boy had run into the street in an attempt to get help. Donald didn’t hesitate. “Get in!” he told the boy, quickly scanning the area for signs of the attackers. He saw a group of shadowy figures near the side of the road. Cont p. 4
You can’t change something by making it wrong. You can only effect change if you can wake up the sleeping people, and in order for them to hear you, you must have compassion for how they got where they are. Think of all the truly effective change agents. They didn't come out with hate, guns blaring and voices screaming. They came out with love and spoke to the hearts of those who knew there was another way. That's my intention with medicine. Many people are angr y at medicine because our system is so broken. I used to be, too. But the establishment can't hear you if you're beating them up. They'll defend against you, even if you speak truth. The only way to get them to hear you is to love the very people that are out of alignment with a universal truth. Then, feeling loved and safe, they have the opportunity to release their defenses and examine their own beliefs and actions and choose whether they'll come with you or
dismiss what you're teaching. If they don't choose to come with you, it doesn't mean they're wrong. We live in a very dualistic world, in which you’re right or wrong, awake or asleep, north or south, our side or their side, and we place judgments on all those positions. But we need to release the judgments. We all have our own paths. If you’re trying to change people who aren’t ready to change, release them without anger. It just means their souls are not yet ready for what you are inviting them to do. No need to be angry. Bless them and carry on. If it feels impossible to stop being righteously angry at those you seek to change, this is my prayer for each of you: “May you find the angry part of you, the part that feels violated and betrayed, the part that should have been nurtured, but instead was harmed, the part that is making others wrong, the part that is frustrated b e c a u s e y o u Cont p. 4
