TERRORISM: a Christmas carol

... a real beauty at home how safe is she outside of her home?

2 French Canadian women

If security were the motivation, and lived beneath our government’s actions American citizens would be empowered. We would be safe. Employing the tools of an abusive spouse or a lurking predator to trick people to believe in your menace is securing the citizenry is an insult to intelligence and the notion of security. Weakening the support structures of a people or a person, and watching their every move is intimidating, and the core paradigm of Homeland Security. American citizens deserve more than the cautionary tales of the Boogey Man passing as national security. Protecting families, and protecting a nation develops from the initial fear of losing to an enemy onto diplomacy, and up into the high place of a true Peace Keeper. The conflicts between people are the histories leaders, and citizens need to know and understand intimately.

The subtle elements of the Sacred Circle need to encircle, and embrace the history of our foreign policies, Natural Law, and an honest assessment of war, and the reasons for fighting in a way profoundly different from our tradition of agitating for more conflict. Agitating for conflict and exaggerating fears do not lend anything to the security a nation needs to function in a mature fashion that leads to peace. The truth is we do not, and have not operated from a high place with honest peacekeeping skills. We don’t have this kind of maturity yet. We are adolescents in the realms of power. Our hearts are separated from our minds. We believe in separation. It feeds our sense of superiority. We, like all Western nations, have learned none of the secrets of ancient Egypt’s abilities to remain in power for 3,000 years!

 

The basic elements of security come from a deep understanding of balance, and Life. They boil down to affirmation of life, facilitating birth processes, building and strengthening foundations, and empowering home and nations abroad. The highest elements of security are the release of spirit, the comfort and adventure of knowing, and being peaceful of soul, balancing and controlling the powers to destroy, and heal at all levels; at the same time.

The dangers of the world are the horrors of our hearts, and minds bent out of shape. One cannot fight a war against an act, a tactic. We war with self in rooms of mirrors, and find ways to lie to ourselves, and our children as we send them, as warriors, to fight an outside force we deliberately enraged. The inner man wars the way we all fought to latch onto eggs in our mother’s wombs. Needing to ascend to the highest heights we kill our souls before we grow because we are scared people out of relationship with truth, and separated from our higher self. – Gregory E.
