What Does It Take for a Peaceful World to Become Reality?
How do we heal sufficiently to come together and create the world we long for?
An only child raised on a big farm in Virginia with neighbors a mile away, I learned early to be self-sufficient. With horses to ride, cats and dogs to play with, and a farm pond to swim in, I was hardly deprived!
I was also raised during an era where nobody ever talked about anything personal. The family's laundry was rarely aired even within the family. Emotions and feelings were kept to oneself. Violence and abuse, dysfunction and trauma were considered "normal" and something you just had to deal with on your own.
Entering the spirituality arena later in life, I discovered that "base" human emotions like anger, fear, guilt, jealousy, rage etc., were undesirable. Flawed aspects of human nature that had to be conquered and risen above. Love and peace, calm forgiveness and tolerance were the sole approved Godly feelings to be cultivated. Anything else needed to be eradicated.
Too messy
"Familiarity breeds contempt," was my family's favorite saying. In other words, if you get to know somebody's weaknesses and wounds, their fears and sorrows—you will come to despise them. And vice versa. When emotions and intimate personal details start flying around, there's no telling where things will end up. So, for God' sake, keep your mouth shut and your head down.
Living in the ivory tower of your own little world you might be lonely. Sad maybe, possibly even desperately depressed. But safe. At least by avoiding all those loud, messy emotions you're not putting yourself in a position to be hurt. Right?
Shocking revelation
But here's the thing. Secrets, self-protection, judgment and isolation are the result of already being hurt. Refusing to expose and deal with the pain just makes things worse. Isolation is not the path to healing, full self-expression and a creative, empowered life.
I should know. Even though I'd been vulnerable and forthcoming in all of my books, I wasn't necessarily that way in my personal relationships. I found relationship "drama" and the upset that goes with it distasteful. I figured past wounds were just that—past wounds that, as an adult, I should have long gotten over. I was also still running a religious/spiritual perfection program that said I was supposed to be "nice" all the time.
And then my closest friend called me on something—a "vampiric energy" about me she said she'd noticed for several years but had not mentioned for all the usual reasons. Why upset a comfortable friendship? Maybe she was just imagining things? Maybe it was actually her issue and she was projecting it onto me? Etc etc.
I was flabbergasted and predictably upset. Not with her. But about being seen as a vampire. "But I'm so giving!" my inner self cried out in silent anguish (and no small sense of guilt). "I always consider others! I hate people who suck on others' energy! She has to be wrong!"
Fortunately, I cared more about the relationship than I did my pride. When she asked if I'd be willing to engage a third-party mediator to get to the bottom of the energy dynamics between us, I agreed.
Road blocks to love
I'm not going to go into any detail about my first session with soul alchemist and healing facilitator Robin Duda, Founder of the Sustainable Love Transformation & Training Center in Santa Fe, New Mexico. I will say that, among many others things, I discovered that traumatic emotional abuse during childhood had made me vulnerable to interdimensional influence. (To understand what I mean by that, see "A Different Kind of 'NO!'“ )
My aching need for external approval from others had opened the door for some of these nasty parasitic beings to feed on others through me. Which was the vampire energetic my friend had been picking up on.
So, now, to the point of this whole article.
We say we want peace. We say we want love. We say we want a world where every individual is encouraged to find the right path for themselves. A world where children can grow and run free unmolested. A world where we can help one another find fulfillment. A world where we can revel in the beauty and intelligence of nature and support the evolution of all living things.
Well, to get there we have to deal with all the things that have been keeping us from being able to come together and do this. And there’s been a LOT perpetrated upon us to keep each other separate and at each other’s throats.
You probably won't believe it because we’ve been programmed to believe humans are basically crap. But the true base nature of the human being isn't base at all. Our true nature is pure love. PURE LOVE.
We've totally been manipulated into self-hatred and division —the exact opposite of our natural way of being.
Divide and conquer
In case you'd like to dismiss the existence of such an agenda, here's a small modern-day example of its reality.
From 1953 to 1973, the CIA ran several projects aimed at developing chemicals and techniques capable of creating effective mind control. In the 1950s, the CIA’s Office of Scientific Intelligence ran Project Artichoke, the purpose of which was to discover if it was possible to overcome the mind of an individual to the point where s/he would do their handler’s bidding, even to the point of “committing acts against the fundamental laws of nature.” Project Artichoke used hypnosis, forced morphine addiction, drug withdrawal, and the use of chemicals to incite amnesia in human subjects and make them pliable.[1]
Project MKUltra was similarly designed.[2] For twenty years, the CIA clandestinely manipulated the mental states of both American and Canadian citizens by dosing them with LSD and other mind-altering drugs without their knowledge. Many of these experiments were conducted on unsuspecting customers in brothels, safe houses and seedy bars. In more formal research conducted under false pretenses at more than 80 locations around the country, including universities, hospitals, prisons, and pharmaceutical companies, drugs, including LSD, were combined with hypnosis, sensory deprivation, isolation, verbal and sexual abuse, electroshocks, and various forms of torture. Hundreds of federal agents, field operatives and scientists worked on these programs before they were shut down in 1973.[3]
Across history, innumerable blocks have been created and set in our path to keep us from coming together to create the world we long for. For centuries we have been outrageously abused by interdimenional forces and a complicit hierarchical elite that has joined this Intelligence in a bid for total domination and control over the unwashed masses.
But the time of this influence and its minions is ending. The time for healing and uniting is at hand. So—what's our first step?
Stepping towards freedom
The first step out of the matrix is understanding how deeply we've ALL been traumatized.
No two ways about it, seeing the forces of separation and isolation and how effective they are, recognizing the ubiquitous nature of interdimensional penetration and how deep and wide the anti-life influence goes, is shocking.
Frankly, the fact that any of us are still standing—unabashed, holding fast for love, self-respect and heart-based values—is proof positive of the awesome resilience of the human spirit. Ultimately, life will not—cannot—be subjugated. But in the meantime, we have been terribly twisted up and misdirected against others and against ourselves.
So—the first step is seeing the hand we’ve been dealt and the true extent of the emotional damage. Then, the next step out of the matrix is to get untwisted and back on a wholesome track by dealing directly with our trauma.
What works?
Up until recently, I had no idea the effects of childhood and general life trauma that resided within me—the programs that were unconsciously running me—the short-circuits keeping me from real bonding and love—the negative energetic influences that weren't me, the triggers keeping healthy connections and happiness at bay—until they were finally exposed, faced, understood, the "not me" influences released and the "real me" parts that had been submerged or that had run away reintegrated. (In Soul Alchemy this is called conscious soul retrieval and integration.)
Every individual has their own healing path to walk, and there are innumerable therapies available in this world. After 40 years working in the spirituality/health arena, plus a master's degree in psychology, I'm familiar with many. However, it seems almost all the healing therapies and practitioners I'm familiar with are, frankly, desperately lacking in the knowledge of what they're actually dealing with. (When was the last time you heard a health practitioner talk about interdimensional interference?)
On top of that, the healing profession, for the most part, is built upon the false assumption that human beings are broken and need to be fixed. On top of that, most of us have been trained to believe that the doctor or the shaman or the chiropractor or the sound healer or whatever modality we're hoping will fix us will be "the answer" and fix us.
And yet, the truth is, we aren't broken. We are beings of pure love. Have we been messed with? Yes. Have we been convinced we are broken? Yes. Have many of us given away most of our power to external sources, including healers? Yes.
But this can change.
In the past year I have experienced, first-hand, the power of fully-informed, facilitated emotional healing done in relationship and full transparency within a community dedicated to self-healing. Today, in the face of what appears to be a rapidly disintegrating world, I have never felt more steady, solid, and steadfast. Not in a "I've got all the answers" conceptual way. Not in a controlling way. But in an "I feel strong in my love, deeply grounded in my body, rooted firmly into the earth, connected to and supported by people willing to do whatever it takes (IE. move into and through scary, dark places within!) to embody self-love and come into mature, authentic, healthy, human expression.
To say this has given me great hope is an understatement.
"Our wounding happens in relationship," says my friend, Robin. "Which means our healing can only be done in relationship." To help you understand better how to move into authentic self-healing during these times, I've recorded a short conversation with Robin. (See below) Unfortunately, the last part of our conversation got cut off, and I didn’t realize it until it was too late to re-record. So the ending is rather abrupt. But I hope what is there helps.
Bottom line, the time for apathy is over. The days of committing violence in return for violence—the old “eye for an eye” type consciousness—are over. It’s time to see, embrace and move through our fears and prejudices, our pride and our self-hatred, our judgments and limited identities … all the things that have kept us wounded and separated.
The time of isolation is over.
We need to come together and stand up for love and life together. If not us, then who? If not now, then when?
Much love and aloha ~
