"The behavior of the hijackers who participated in the Attack on America, was indeed shameful behavior. It was morally wrong from any sane person's perspective. That does not make them shameful beings. It does not make them subhuman. Because a person commits a monstrous act does not mean they are a monster. Their behavior was a reaction to their emotional wounds and twisted distorted mental perspectives. They were Spiritual beings - a perfect part of the ONENESS that is ALL THAT IS. Their beings, their essence, was/is Divine - an extension of the Source Energy.Their behavior was insane and monstrous. It was evil. Their views of Islam were twisted and perverted."
*** "The twisted, distorted beliefs of the Old Testament - with it's angry, judgmental, vengeful male vision of God - are at the foundation of the beliefs, the intellectual paradigm, that humans in Western Civilization have used to define reality."*** "Honesty with self is absolutely vital to recovery and healing - to raising our consciousness. As we start to awaken to Spiritual Truth, we can start to peal away the layers of dishonesty that we have wrapped ourselves in out of our codependent defense system. It is very painful to start getting honest with ourselves. We feel ashamed as we start to see how dishonest we have been.The Truth shall set you free - but it will be a very painful process."
*** "With the events of September 11th, as with any life event, we do not have any choice in experiencing the event - but we do have the power to choose how we respond. . . . . . The bottom line goal, as it is always in recovery / healing / Spiritual growth, is to access the wisdom to accept the things we cannot change, and the willingness and courage to change the things we have the power to change within us.Accepting the reality of life does not mean we have to like it, does not mean we are not going to have feelings about life events and other people's behavior."
"As long as we are reacting to old wounds and old tapes we cannot respond to the now. The more we heal, the more responsibility we have - that is, ability to respond. The ability to respond in the moment.
By honoring and releasing the sadness and the pain and the anger we can get to the Joy and the Love and the Peace. By stopping the war within we can create world peace. Not today. Probably not in our lifetimes. It will take generations (unless the "hundredth monkey effect" kicks in) but the process has begun!"

Attack on America - A Call for Higher ConsciousnessOne of the core characteristics of this disease of Codependence is intellectual polarization - black and white thinking. Rigid extremes - good or bad, right or wrong, love it or leave it, one or ten. Codependence does not allow any gray area - only black and white extremes. Life is not black and white. Life involves the interplay of black and white. In other words, the gray area is where life takes place. A big part of the healing process is learning the numbers two through nine - recognizing that life is not black and white. Life is not some kind of test, that if we fail, we will be punished. We are not human creatures who are being punished by an avenging god. We are not trapped in some kind of tragic place out of which we have to earn our way by doing the "right" things. We are Spiritual Beings having a human experience. We are here to learn. We are here to go through this process that is life. We are here to feel these feelings. We - the old souls who are involved in the Transformational Healing Movement - have been given an incredible opportunity for growth and healing. We have been presented with what - to our human eyes and our human hearts - is a great tragedy, a profound injustice. Thousands of innocent people killed. A whole nation traumatized by horrifying images. Our way of life has been fundamentally altered - possibly permanently. We need to feel the emotions but we need to do it honestly and responsibly in order to maximize the healing possible from this opportunity. Of course, none of us will do it perfectly. We are wounded humans in the process of healing. We are doing the best we are capable of in any given moment. This is an opportunity on a personal level for each of us to do some more healing within - in our relationship with our self. What is so important both individually and collectively, what I am feeling a great urgency to communicate to you Kindred Spirits, is the importance of not buying into black and white thinking. We have an opportunity to do some major healing in relationship to polarity. Polarity is the enemy here. Polarity supports the illusion of separation - from each other, from The Source. Polarity is a lie. Yin and Yang are ONE - not opposing forces in conflict. We are all ONE in LOVE. As I show in my book, quantum physics has now scientifically proven we are all connected, we are all ONE. We old souls already Know that. We have already been remembering that for some time. What is important now is to integrate it more fully into our inner process. Change some more of our polarized ego programming. Have faith enough to walk through fear - based upon multiple lifetimes of experience - and open up to tuning more clearly into Love. While writing this there were times when I was feeling a lot of fear. Verging on terror at times. My human self would much prefer to keep a low profile and to not put my self out there as a target. My mission however is to be a messenger of Truth. In order to settle the Karma I came into body to settle in this lifetime, it is necessary for me to stand up in public and speak my Truth.
