Spirit guided this class as I had a couple people ask the same question within hours of one another. So we tackled Common Law Courts tonight and had some profound discussions about the topic. I hope this helps people on their journey.
As I mentioned in class, there is an injury pyramid which you can see at this link:
https://www.jjwhiteinc.com/2018/02/06/the-injury-pyramid/
The idea is that 300,000 at risk behaviours will statistically result in 3000 near misses, 300 recordable injuries, 30 lost work day cases and 1 death.
If we want to eliminate work place injuries and death, we don’t focus on the injuries or death. We focus on the 300,000 risky behaviours people do at work.
Same goes with murder and rape. We don’t focus on the murder and rape behaviours but rather focus on the covert violent behaviours hidden in bed rooms, kitchens, board rooms, relationships, etc. We focus on healing our relationships with self and others so that we don’t engage in violence. The minor small stuff leads to bigger and bigger stuff, which leads to rape and murder. We address the bottom of the pyramid to heal and prevent those types of behaviours we don’t want to see in our lives. The state does not do this, but in fact, perpetuates the problem through violence, poverty, punishment and other abusive behaviours.
