The grotesque conduct of the war in Gaza that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has presided over has generated the most severe threat to Israel’s existence that it has ever faced. Those old enough to remember the sudden and unexpected collapse of the Soviet Union may have some inkling of the power of the complete loss of international legitimacy to destroy a state. Netanyahu and his allies appear to have no clue.
Love, love love your idea of nations as the ego equivalent of peoples - the True Self.
This is so beautiful. I feel it so sweetly:
" an “internal path” concerned with our felt connections with all life as part of who we are. The latter is a spiritual path concerned with our true selves as unique expressions of everything else in the universe—with the spiritual truth, in other words, that we are all kith and kin to all living beings, including the Earth, in a universe that is itself alive. Such grandmother/grandfather teachings as those of the Anishinaabeg—the teachings surrounding love, truth, bravery, humility, wisdom, honesty, and respect—can be considered as conveying ethical principles, but they do much more than this. They convey deeply felt responsibilities to pursue harmony and balance with the world and within one’s being."
I honestly think the first thing is the inner path of the peoples awakening to compassion for one another from THAT place.
The leaders with the current "strings" I believe are on the opposite of that spiritual spectrum. So the answer is one from within first...
Then solutions may manifest that express that beautiful kindredness you express to gently and potently!
Thanks Alicia! I’m grateful to be so clearly understood. You might look into a group of Native scholars and activists and their allies who have influenced my thinking greatly (perhaps I’ve mentioned them before?): https://www.redthought.org
"When you pray, you are allowing a higher power beyond your human understanding and effort - the power of the Holy Spirit that exists within you - to divinely orchestrate the answers to your every prayer." ~ The Sophia Code, p 285
"In 1927, the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Anthropology (KWIA), an organization which concentrated on physical and social anthropology as well as human genetics, was founded in Berlin with significant financial support from the American philanthropic group the Rockefeller Foundation.[17]" W media
Who would we be if we chose the spiritual path of development instead of allowing eugenics to define our evolution?
@Alicia Here’s a talk on white supremacy and some of its opponents that I think you would appreciate (I’m biased: the speaker is my uncle):
White Supremacy and Misogyny Then and Now: Eight DU folks who fought the domination of the KKK in Colorado in the 1920\s and opposed eugenics at our university
“You can be decent on one issue and commit horrors on another because it’s a different group of people.”
The relation between the US and eugenics doesn't get discussed enough...the underlying dynamics...there is so much that doesn't make sense RE WW2. It seems the whole world was kind to Hitler until it was too late...
Is the same thing happening to both Palestinians and Jews today? Is Israel the same as Rafah... a place to gather the Jews for a publicly sanctioned backlash? Don't know if you've looked into the role of Lesley Wexner in influencing Jewish thought as well as his admitted relation to dark spirits. See Whitney Webb.
A whole class could be taught on your Uncles video. There is so much there! My husband was born in Denver. His dad was one of the first "diversity" students at Harvard. They were sure to rub that in his face...But as I said before, he still does not recognize what is really happening in Lahaina.
Time 4:00 PM HST. I just read your recommendation.
Here are two books: GEOENGINEERED TRANSHUMANISM: How the Environment has been Weaponized by Chemicals, Electromagnetism, & Nanotechnology for Synthetic Biology.
And, UNDER AN IONIZED SKY: From Chemtrails to Space Fence Lockdown.
I am aware that Lahaina was a geo engineered atrocity and the attempt is a smart city. Thank you for reminding me to pray for Lahaina, which is where the majority of the indigenous Hawaiian people live.
Yes, and no. Impoverished Kanaka Maoli (Native Hawaiians) are concentrated on what the “State” defines as Hawaiian Homestead Land, the worst possible land to live on.
The less impoverished were able to “buy” fee-simple (stolen) Land.
Lahaina and parts of West Maui were hit with Directed Energy Weapons (DEWs). FEMA is behaving as it always has in slow motion…
People outside of Hawaii are calling it a Land Grab, locals know it is also a WATER Grab too.
The big Land Lords of Maui want to redirect water to the Hotel Cartels, shopping malls and multi-million dollar mansions. Maui’s Police chief is the same man who was the Chief of police of Las Vegas during the mass killing at that Hotel some years ago. This is not a coincidence. For better coverage on the Murder of Lahaina, Maui: Brighteon.com, Rumble.com, Odysee.com, www.StandTogetherHawaii.com, www.BlossomInnerWellness.com. Most of Hawaii’s people are clueless to what actually happened on Maui. Legacy Media is doing a great job censoring and controlling the narrative.
Thank you! <3 I know the general idea of what happened, I am interested in who is standing up for the indigenous Hawaiians reclaiming their land and futures!
I once had a teacher who used to be a speech pathologist, working with autistic kids - one then she had an awakening and she started seeing kids light bodies and having them talk to her. One thing they said was that they required a specific frequency in order to fully incarnate: The Lemurian Love frequency!
I just came back to re-read and saw that I'd missed a whole section of your essay! You're so right that the soft peace comes through recognizing our oneness with all. I hope you'll consider posting this and other essays at our Socialist Currents blog! Susan Stevens, Debs Caucus SDUSA
Here is a book about The planned murder of Lahaina, Maui: BURN BACK BETTER: Lahaina a Perfect Storm or a Perfect Crime???by, Stephanie Pierucci and Shelby Hosana, Copyright Stephanie Pierucci 2023. www.pieruccipublishing.com, it might be on Amazon books too. Shelby Hosana might still be living on Maui. I’m not sure, she is definitely an empath. My personal comment concerning the book, some of the content is not quite accurate and there are some omissions that should have been included in their analysis of what occurred on Maui. But, Shelby is a transplant from the mainland, and does know the true history of Hawaii. This is true for most of transplants now living in Hawaii.
Steve, You write that lasting peace results when all peoples "accept their obligations to act with trustworthy, reciprocal, and consensual conduct towards all life." Might you comment on the difference between an obligation and a responsibility? Isn't an obligation a thing put upon one person by another (domination), whereas a responsibility comes from within the self? Thanks!
Yes. Exactly. I plead guilty to speaking, at least in part, in the language of the dominators. I have yet to figure out a way to communicate with them (us) without such language. Far better to speak, as you suggest, of responsibilities rather than obligations…
The top part of your piece seems to be trying to bridge to the way of thinking the dominators can understand, whereas your bottom half is the truth that resonates out the solutions from the center of the human-God heartbeat we all share. At least that's how it feels to me. One is not better or worse, it's just a matter of what you feel called to do moment by moment. <3
Love, love love your idea of nations as the ego equivalent of peoples - the True Self.

Aloha Alicia, I love your comment.
The current (old) materialistic / mechanistic scientific view of the world and Life is dying.
More people are identifying as Spiritual beings experiencing physical life on Mother Earth.
——Mother Earth Spirituality, author: Ed McGaa, EAGLE MAN.
Love your comment, also.
I saw a wonderful video on Eagle/Condor today!

Lemuria/Mu = Hawaii! <3
Suzy Miller was the one who told me about how the autistic kids need Lemurian love :) She also facilitated my name change!
