Quote
“We can reject everything else; religion, ideology, all received wisdom. But we cannot escape the necessity of love and compassion. This, then, is my true religion, my simple father. In this sense, there is no need for temple or church, for mosque or synagogue, no need for complicated philosophy, doctrine, or dogma, Our own heart, our own mind, is the temple. The doctrine is compassion. Love for others and respect for their rights and dignity, not matter who or what they are; ultimately these are all we need.”
~Dalai Lama~
We are in a time when I believe it is healthy to get people to honor the truth of our past. Not from a place to make us feel better or worse but from a place of honesty and a recognition that nothing will ever change unless the truth is taught not from the place of making the victor feel vindicated or the looser to be allowed to rewrite the past in their illusion. But from the place of objective understanding. There are places that it has been done. So many Vietnam Vets have gone back to that country and connected to the men that they fought against and hugged and asked for forgiveness. They were not attempting to vindicate their decisions. They were coming from the place that they wanted finally to have peace inside. That requires you to tell the truth. That raw and vulnerable truth that breaks down the victimization of the rules that had to be followed and instead transcend us back to the humanity that was ignored and lost. That humanity can always be recovered but not from the place of continuing the toxic hatred and perpetuation of the language the makes others less than and animals in the eyes of the perpetrators. In war, it is our humanity that is lost. It is our compassion for another life that is suppressed in favor of our righteous choices that are taught and inbred that allow us to make decisions that harm our very soul. War is an atrocity of humanity. It was created by those in power that needed to feel that they could control large areas of land and the people of those lands. And then there are those still in America that play out the Civil War and keep the belief that the “South will rise again!” as they play-act out the battles but in their illusions now the “South” wins the battles again and again, validating their own inability to deal with the reality as they grasp on to an illusion that makes them the winner and the victim all at the same time. Such nonsense needs to be called out because that is the only way that it will actually stop. Truth reveals the ridiculousness of such actions and the pointlessness of playing out what never was and never will be. Perhaps those people still doing such things were actually the players in those wars in past lives and they are stuck in that time loop, endlessly repeating the pattern in an attempt to break through to some sort of clarity and acceptance. In the bigger scope of reality it may make sense but we are not helping others find that peace if we do not point out the absurdity of their actions and the waste of time in such a precious life.
