‘Home sweet home’?
Home is not always “sweet home”, and home for the holidays may not be fun.
Many like myself, grew up with trauma, PTSD, and the dysfunction, neglect, domestic and child abuse, violence and isolation that often exist behind closed doors. Sadly, we tend to treat others as we were treated, but thankfully, this is not always so.
Some of us become Seekers of Truth and Spirituality and question the status quo, not wanting psychologically and spiritually to deny and normalize society’s dysfunctional norms.
Within us is precious and divine capacity to connect with our Heart and notice what’s harmful and wrong. We can address our own and society’s needs for healing and reform.
This time of chaotic change and great planetary Shift, exposes harmful and terrible individuals and systems, while offering more openings and opportunity for the miraculous. Technology can help us connect and utilize intersectionality so humanity’s higher potential can be peacefully realized.
Hidden pearls and secret meaning in life once confined to mystics and great teachers like Moses, Jesus, Buddha and Mohammed – are finally coming through more clearly now. So, let the people hear!
Freeing ourselves from fear and control-based dogma, autocratic leaders and regressive economic, religious, governmental and corporative hierarchy – does involve ongoing devotion and effort.
We’re learning that democracy and democratic institutions can be lost in front of our eyes and remain lacking at home and in the workplace. Again, loving attention is needed from each and all of us.
As micro affects the macrocosm, society like individuals, can acknowledge, forgive and heal. Homecoming is sweeter when we reflect the unconditional compassionate love of the God-Source.
When universal food, health care, housing and adequate educational needs are met, inner happiness prevails and widespread depression, despair, violence, drugs and illness will recede.
American communities can become healthy, hospitable and caring when we commit to prioritizing people over money, corporate profiteering and personal greed.
Home will be a sweet place as communities measure up to those which followed close to Jesus’ teachings and his life on earth. They lived together sharing things in common, Scripture says, and no one did without.
We CAN penetrate the lies and fear-based taboos for the socialistic solutions that can save us, which are demonstrably working in other countries. Just a little research will shed light on the myth that Democratic Socialism is the same as Communistic dictatorship.
It’s time we wise-up and stop going along with the destruction of our planetary home. Man-made exploitation, suffering and war are finally being seen by many of us, for what it is.
The day is coming when no one will fall for solving problems and issues with violence.
As we take time out for being still and knowing what’s really going on, needless pain will cease and Mother Earth will experience renewal and rebirth.
With harmony restored, we’ll avoid extinction and rejoice in regenerated Gardens of Eden with the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth!
Meanwhile, let’s make the holidays beautiful and happy!
