It is now several days past the 10th anniversary of the tragic events of September 11th. The day was horrific and world changing. What were the changes? On September 12th the world poured out support for the people of the United States. The first call to the president was from Russia. Countries rallied to offer aid. The world came together against injustice. The evil-doers were brought fully to light, exposed for all to see and to judge their actions. Arab nations condemned the attacks. Dictators with power agendas praised them. September 12th was a new dawn. Muslims stood side by side with Christians and indeed people of all faiths to condemn the actions taken by a few fundamentalists. In more ways than not on September 12th, 2001, we united the rational, loving, caring people of the world. It also set those offering fear and destruction on the run. No more would the world stand aside.

Slowly the world is coming together as one. The “Arab summer” is a case in point. The overthrow of dictators who ruled with an iron fist by people wanting to work together to create a new future is a sign of a peaceful future.  As with everything, however, growth comes with growing pains. We are witnessing some, but as each atrocity comes to light the less darkness the world has to offer. We are in a renaissance of humanity. We are stepping into a new future.

September 12th is a day to rejoice. Year after year let us celebrate this bold step of humanity to choose to come together against wrongs and create one giant right.

“It's important to talk about it. You raise awareness. But you can also prevent it (child abuse) by not letting it be a secret.”~Chris Witty

I am always amazed at the number of victims of sexual abuse that I encounter in my private sessions. Not one day of sessions goes by that does not include a visit with at least one or more sexually abused person. From family members and trusted friends, to strangers and authority figures, the abusers come in all sizes, shapes, and colors. Working with men, I find very large percentages that were molested by their parish priests - more than society has really recognized. It is not uncommon for me to have two or three of them in a day. With women, the leading culprit is a father figure. The effect this has on these people’s lives is devastating, and often creates a lifetime struggle for them.

It is a lifetime struggle, that is, until they go through the process of releasing their personal fears and altering their direction. Forgiveness is what every therapist says must happen. But, before forgiveness can take place, two things must occur-- acknowledgement and understanding.  It is important that there be an acknowledgement that the abuse did happen and that the abused is not at fault.  Once there is acknowledgement--a very personal process that is different for each individual-- there can be an attempt at understanding. Without these two steps, acknowledgement and understanding, it is impossible for the abused to even conceive of forgiveness.

The remainder of this article will delve into the reasons why these types of abuse happen, so that it can help readers break through the barriers they may have lived behind and achieve that understanding. Let us break it down by gender and abuser, starting with the Men and the Parish Priest.

Men and the Parish Priest Priests are an interesting group. Many priests are truly caring, loving individuals that are just doing good work. Many individuals, however, join the priesthood because they feel shame for their very natural sexual desires and use the priesthood as a means for hiding from those feelings, whether straight or gay. Let’s look at their feelings of shame. First of all, many of these men grew up in Catholic families where homosexuality is not okay in the eyes of the “Lord.” When their natural feelings of homosexuality arise, they feel shame for those feelings, and suppress them.  The promise of a devout, celibate life draws suppressed men to the priesthood like moths to a flame. For the gay man, the reality is that their homosexual inclinations are a very natural and normal part of who they are. The problem is that they feel shame for their natural tendencies and build walls around them.

In priests' lives, they have suppressed the physical need for a natural way to receive love, and so, the desires must burst forth because they have halted the natural flow of love in their lives. This can lead to making bad choices. These choices then reinforce their feelings that they are bad people and should be ashamed. They struggle with this shame before, during, and after the horrible acts that are committed against the boys and girls in their charge. This all comes down to the simple fact that they are afraid of not having love, and find ways of justifying their lust as love. The damage this causes the world is farther reaching than most people realize.  I see it all the time, in every city I visit.   Every person on earth just wants to be loved, be they gay or straight, man, woman, or child. Our natural inclinations of sexual love can not truly be suppressed.  There will always be some sort of release. The sexual side of our nature is a representation of who we are and how we express our love. Whether being born homosexual, or choosing homosexuality, love is never wrong.  I take joy in helping as many of the abused as I can.   I help them to find their way past these blockages in their lives, and show them that there is love and it can be safe and unconditional.

Women and Father Figures

The men who are abusive to women are usually the victims of damaging relationships with their own parents. Most of the men I have worked with had parents with addictions of some sort, alcoholism being the foremost. Addictive behaviors are a search for a better feeling, also known as love. The reason they search for love is that their lives are full of negative feelings like loss, abandonment, and self hatred. All too often, this creates a horrible downward spiral from one generation to the next. I frequently am working with men who as children, wanted the unconditional love of their parents. Instead, they received only conditional love and not fully understanding that they were denied what they needed, they fall into addictive behaviors -just like their parents- in a search for the feeling of love.

These men always have low self esteem. Sometimes that same low self esteem manifests in a very large ego. This ego is a power play where they set themselves in a position of power so that they are respected or feared. They view this respect or fear as being loved. This viewpoint then leads to a cycle of behavior that often leads to sexual abuse because the sexual satisfaction they receive -from the bad things they do to innocent children- is reinforced by the positive physical sensations. As addicts they are driven by the need for these feelings, but since they do not fully understand what love is, they are never satisfied and the cycle continues until broken.  The good news is the cycle can be broken.  The feelings of shame and desperation, the self-doubt and suppression of love, do not need to be passed to the next generation.  Each generation has the power to choose.  To break the negative cycle is to choose love.

Choosing Love

I believe that we come into this world to fully experience love (God/Universe).  We do this by developing a healthy relationship between love and fear.  Understand that you are loved at all times. You are not alone in your experience. You do not have to search for the feeling of love.  We cannot know or experience love, without also experiencing its opposite (fear). Love is yours and you can follow your heart.  Love will flow, and love denied will burst forth in self gratification. For the abuser: get help and stop the cycle now. For you, the current victims: tell someone so that people can help. For the people who suffer from past abuses: choose to release the anchors of the past by seeing the abusers as victims themselves and forgiving them. Then choose this to be a new day and love as you want to love. Be the best expression of love you can be. It is who you are. I love you.

“Eventually you will come to understand that love heals everything, and love is all there is.” ~Gary Zukav

Memorial Day, originally called Decoration Day, is a day of remembrance for those who have died in our nation's service.

I have done six USO tours in my life. I have witnessed firsthand the bravery of women and men of our armed forces. I discovered early on that most are very determined to be of service. Though I am not one who supports wars, I must recognize the selfless service of these brave individuals. To be a US soldier means that you volunteer to go anywhere to defend the freedoms of others, and even though I feel that the drawing of lines between peoples and nations was the downfall of modern society, you must look at the act of joining the military as a supreme act of service. Today I honor those who have volunteered and fallen in their selfless act.

Service –noun ---- an act of helpful activity; help; aid: to do someone a service.

Today also I would like to remember some others who have passed in service to humanity. People like Mother Teresa who selflessly gave of herself to feed and care for the starving children of Calcutta. Mahatma Gandhi who gave of himself repeatedly to prove nonviolence was more powerful than violence. Let us also remember Moses, Buddha, Krishna, Jeshua, Mohammed, and many more Avatars who gave their entire lives as an example for humanity. These also gave of themselves selflessly. The soldiers are no less important than these amazing spiritual individuals. Where they are and what they are doing is unimportant; what is important is that they chose to be of service. The act of choosing and acting upon that decision creates a noble ripple in the fabric of the Universe. The intention of service is the most noble of acts.  

"Our prime purpose in this life is to help others. And if you can't help them, at least don't hurt them." ~ Tenzin Gyatso, 14th Dalai Lama

Today I honor the act of service. I remember those that have fallen in service to another. I strive to be as noble as they and hold high a memorial in my heart for each and every one. God bless Humanity. The Selfless serve, praised be to Allah. Be the hero they were in your everyday. One day we will set down our arms and celebrate together as humanity.

"The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others." ~ Mohandas K. Gandhi

“If we lose love and self respect for each other, this is how we finally die.” ~Maya Angelou

In our lives we have many relationships. I want to tell you about my day today. I woke this morning and went to pick up my son at my ex-wife’s house. I called my new wife as she is out of town for business for extended periods of time. After talking to my wife I called Holly, my friend and assistant, to see how her day was going.

Let’s begin with the ex wife meeting. I am a believer that love given comes home again. To say my ex and I have had a very rocky relationship is understating the facts. It ended harshly and with much pain. The damages created to the subconscious mind were tricky to overcome. Trust was taken and continually misused. It wasn’t until I shifted my attachment to the situation that the relationship could alter for the better. Together we have made a magnificent son. It is for this purpose that the relationship must function in a loving way. Still to this day she values my insights and allows me to help guide her through struggles occasionally. I value her good parenting of my son and respect her for that.

“Without feelings of respect, what is there to distinguish men from beasts?”  ~ Confucious

My son is one of the greatest relationships I will ever experience in my lifetime. He is a loving boy who tells me frequently throughout the day that he loves me. I, of course, tell him as well. We laugh and sometimes cry as we go through the learning curves of childhood. I respect him as a human and help him when he does not have the information he is seeking. He in turn respects me and always says “please”, “thank you”, and, “excuse me.” Our days are filled with fun and sometimes intellectually stimulating conversations. Kynan is 7.

I asked the universe for a "fun and easy relationship with a soul mate.” Kelly came into my life. I adore her. I am always impressed by her intelligence, wisdom, talents, and beauty. She has supported me in some of the weirdest things to ever happen to me in my life and I am so grateful for such a magnificent partner in life. She respects me and I her. We are peers and no hierarchy exists in our relationship. I love her and she me. The frequent geographic distances our relationship experiences have no effect on our feelings for one another, and we are secure in the partnership.

Holly, my friend and assistant, stood by me through the thick and thin of my spiritual work. She feels that the work is important and we must spread the word. Holly began her own business and has been watching it grow. I admire her courage for taking the leap and respect her for sticking to her guns. Holly brings a great deal of happiness to my life as she supports the work that I feel I am here to do and she also is a friendly sounding board from time to time as I am for her.

“I get no respect.”~ Rodney Dangerfield

One element you will find in all of these relationships is respect. I respect them for who they are and love them always. When times of relationship strife come in it never changes the fact that we love each other and respect each other. Dominating relationships are relationships where one is doomed to never excel. One is always held to the standards of another. Domination is in essence a lack of respect for the potential of the other. In my relationship with my son, I am the parent and a strong one. When decisions are made I always share with him the logical reason why. It is how I respect him. He in turn has come to understand that process and will not argue the point knowing there is a reason. I give him respect and he gives it in return.

There is no one on earth who is more or less powerful than anyone else. Each one of us has unlimited divine potential within. By recognizing the potential within and honoring it, you propel people forward. That is what “Namaste” is all about. I recognize the divine unlimited potential in you. Thank you for choosing to spend your time with me.

“When you are content to be simply yourself and don't compare or compete, everybody will respect you.”~Lao Tzu

“An eye for an eye would make the whole world blind.” ~ Mahatma Gandhi

Osama Bin Laden is dead. This man whom the world has hunted is no longer among the living. Truthfully I was excited to hear the news. Now as I watch the reactions I am a bit ashamed that I allowed myself to fall into the trap of high running emotions. I have done over one hundred shows entertaining troops overseas. I have traveled all over Afghanistan and Iraq. I have seen firsthand the countries devastated by hateful men. The representation of these men became Osama bin Laden. Osama bin Laden was no great guy to be sure, but to knowingly go and shoot another human being, no matter what they have done, I cannot support. The man was sick and misguided. He was not a friend to Christians or Muslims. He brought death to many more than the poor people of the New York, Washington DC, and Pennsylvania tragedies. Osama Bin Laden incited such high emotions that countries were toppled and hundreds of thousands lost their lives in the wars that followed. Did it help to kill him? Those running high in emotions will say yes. “Closure” will be word of choice.

“Revenge is often like biting a dog because the dog bit you.” ~ Austin O’Malley

The mission was quick and decisive. Afterwards, out of respect, they honored his Muslim traditions by having his body interred within a day.  So after he was hunted and shot in the head it was decided to respect his beliefs? It seems a bit late. Had we created a place of understanding decades ago maybe he would have been a harbinger of peace instead of death.  This man was responsible for atrocious acts. Let us not forget the United States trained him and armed him and then left him. Was it good policy then? Who knows? It is debatable. But undeniably by supporting a man bent on war and destruction, we created the very man whose death we are now joyfully celebrating. Our focus needs to be on peace and human brotherhood.

“Be the change you want to see in the world.” ~Mahatma Gandhi

I watched as hundreds flocked to ground zero and the White House as the news broke. Parties erupted in public places celebrating the death of the enemy. Yet the world we should be creating is a world without such actions. If one person hits you is it not the higher ground to turn the other cheek? I am not saying to forgive and forget such actions but an eye for eye will lead us and our world into a barbaric future. People laughed and joked “thank God he is dead.”  Is this the world we want for our future? Is bloodlust rewarded with bloodlust? The world is rid of Osama bin Laden. Until we learn to work with each other, stop drawing lines in the sand and give loving respect and understanding, another will just take his place and it will escalate. Our world is at a tipping point. We can choose another path. Reach out your hand to people of all faiths. Respect their beliefs. Show them there is nothing to fear and allow them to embrace their own religious and cultural differences. The world is created through choice. Choose to love instead of fear. Mohammed said that "Kindness is a mark of faith." Let us be kind.

“My Religion is simple. My religion is kindness.” ~The Dalai Lama

“I found out that I can change my life. There is a possibility for that and it's an easy possibility. It's not as hard as it looks.” ~Veronica Martinez

Mahatma Gandhi said that we each must “Be the change we wish to see in the world.” This is a magnificent statement especially as it pertains to global matters.  If we take this same statement and apply it to our lives, we can make significant strides towards a happier experience. Every day we each arise to our day usually with a list of things that we are going to do. As we fulfill each task the experiences that surround us are a direct response to the things we have done and are doing. In matters of spiritual thought we tend to aggrandize the prominence of the esoteric thought. If we look at the teachings with a much simpler eye we begin to find a great truth. We have much more influence in the creation of our lives. We must BE that which we wish to experience.

“To be, or not to be– that is the question: Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, Or to take arms against a sea of troubles and, by opposing, end them.” ~William Shakespeare

If you look at each of the simple aspects of your life (relationships, career, home, finances) you will be able to quickly discern which of these areas are not harmonious with your intent. In each of these areas we must be the change we wish to see. Your thought, word and deed create motion, and though you may not be where you would like to be, if you started thinking, speaking, and acting in alignment with the experience you wish to see then that experience is the byproduct of your actions.

In relationships, for example, we each in our lives wish to be loved. Many of us actually spend a great deal of time focused on what we don’t want and so those things rush towards us. If you foster the loving relationship, it will show itself. Look at your partner and see the things that make them happy and find joy in their joy. Realize that in your relationship you want happiness and not strife and so be happy in your relationship.

The essence of fear that permeates our world tends to make us think and act in negative ways. It is a conscious choice to create something different and that creation comes in your being. Be that which you wish to see in this present moment, I AM that I AM.

“Be the Change you wish to see in the world” ~Mahatma Gandhi

Good Morning Love.

I am grateful for the love in my life. I feel it in so many ways. Due to my fianceé’s work we do spend quite a bit of time apart. When she is away, the first thing I do each morning is roll over, grab my phone, and text her “Good Morning Love.” It is a simple message, but one with a great deal of meaning to me. I convey my message to her and yet this statement is powerful in that I start each day greeting love. After our morning exchange I then think of the other aspects of love in my life. I have a beautiful relationship with my son. We laugh and jokes and tell each other, “I love you, “often. I also remember that I love the world and the people in it, no matter what their actions are. I then remember the love I have for myself.

Good Morning Love.

All of these Loves make up my experience of Love. It is a wonderful experience of my choice. I choose daily to greet love into my life and so it manifests in many and varied ways. I Love…. Love. It fills my spirit. It lightens my step. It makes the day begin and end with a smile. There is a quote in the book of John that says, “God is Love.” God/Universe/Goddess, Whatever you call the source of it all, is made of Love. Each morning to greet Love and move forward is to see our source in all Her/His glory. It is to welcome the feeling of Love into our day. The day is of our choosing and how we interact with Love is the experience we are creating. Love is not judgmental or vengeful. Love is always there and supportive. Love always gives a second chance, But it is you who has to take that chance. Choose Love over fear and negativity and you will touch something larger.

Good Morning Love

Don’t think of Love as enormous. Think of Love as always there to greet you. Don’t think of Love as hurtful. Think of Love as Joyful. Open your eyes and greet Love with the anticipation that Love will greet you with a good morning. This brings about a joyful interaction with Love.

Good Morning Love.

“Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all peoples cry, laugh, eat, worry, and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other, we may even become friends.” ~ Maya Angelou

When I was young I was the product of my environment. My father was a bigot. On a regular basis I heard the “N” word coming from his lips. As a young impressionable boy I followed in his footsteps. I was a racist. I am blessed to have seen the error of my ways very clearly. My transition came in an interesting way. One night while paying for gas at a local convenience store the cashier gave me five dollars too much change. I returned to the store and brought the money back to the cashier. The next person in line said something that affected me: ”There is something you don’t see every day - an honest person.” I felt this swell of tingly energy surge through my body. I walked out of the store and the feeling stayed with me. I suddenly had the realization that I had felt this feeling before. “Jesus is that you?” I said out loud. The energy swelled even greater within me. From that moment on I was no longer racist or homophobic.

Now I do not consider myself a Christian and it was years after this experience that I discovered my past life connection to Jeshua. I do believe that enlightened teachers such as Jeshua carried a pure love that you could viscerally experience. It was one of the first things I remembered in my regression. I believe the intent within your heart is felt far greater than words, though words with intent are the most powerful things in the world.

“Bigotry is the disease of ignorance, of morbid minds; enthusiasm of the free and buoyant. education and free discussion are the antidotes of both.” ~Thomas Jefferson

There was a time when the “N” word was used much more frequently than today. Sometimes the words we use are interpreted in many ways. I had a friend named Atlas. Atlas lived in a poor section of town, but always seemed to have a smile on his face. I liked him a lot and have lost touch with him since moving from my home town. Every time I would see Atlas around town he would yell out to me,” You stupid ass white boy.” I would respond in kind, “you dumb ass N&5$8R.” We would shake hands and laugh.

One night I ran into Atlas and he was visibly upset. “What’s wrong Atlas?” I asked. “Man John, I had to fight. I don’t like fighting,” He responded.  I asked him what had happened and he told me that a man had called him a “N&5$8R.” “I call you that all the time, Atlas.” I answered. “Yeah but he meant it!” was Atlas’ reply.  Here was a man who could feel the intention behind the word. I no longer use the word out of loving respect for my fellow women and men.  We are all a part of the whole and to be hateful towards another is to deny a part of yourself a connection to God/Source.

I lovingly share my life with all the aspects of me that I see before me each day in all of my colors, genders, religious beliefs, and I am open to new and exciting introductions to other parts of me that will present themselves.

“Joy in looking and comprehending is nature's most beautiful gift.” ~Albert Einstein

Tonight I was sitting here with my six year old son. Every so often a bit of wisdom comes from his mouth that makes me stop in my tracks. Out of the blue this evening Kynan said, “Daddy no matter where you go you are always connected to nature.” My ears perked up and I began my process of questions,” Why do you say that Kynan?” “Think about it Daddy, right here in this room, if you pick me up, I will be touching you and your feet will be touching the floor. The floor is touching the walls and the walls go down to the earth,” the little sage retorted.

I couldn’t argue his logic nor would I want to. You see I believe we are connected to everything around us: buildings, nature, even each other. By recognizing this simple connection and realizing that we, in fact, impact our environment by our mere existence.  Our connection is every day in every way and we are part of the greater whole.  By acting in partnership with the world we create a natural flow of events that is harmonious. By acting with ill intent and disregard for our environment and each other we are creating a very unpleasant experience.

Take today and expand your awareness of all around you in this moment.  Recognize that you are a part of a larger entity. Nurture that entity. Care for that entity and see the results in your life experience. That entity is more than just the earth, sky, and water. It is also each other and our individual spheres come together is synchronistic order and the time we created. Look at the person you are passing in the street and realize that you are both connected to the same world. Realize you breathe the same air. Love them for who they are, Smile, say hello, nurture yourself through others. Change the natural environment by being aware and acting with conscience. Remember no matter where you go, you are connected to all around you and vice versa. You are a representation for them just as they are for you.

Stay connected and live joyously.

“One touch of nature makes the whole world kin.” ~William Shakespeare

“You are a product of your environment. So choose the environment that will best develop you toward your objective. Analyze your life in terms of its environment. Are the things around you helping you toward success - or are they holding you back?” ~ W. Clement Stone

When not being the dashing man of spiritual thought, I have the cool title of Fight Director. I have been choreographing stage combat for more than two decades and find it fun and exciting. On a very rare occasion I get to combine my two loves. I recently have been working on a summer arts program for high school kids interested in the Arts. For six weeks I have taken twelve kids and taught them the fine and fashionable art of creating dramatic illusions of violence. What makes this program interesting for me personally is I get to work with kids from all backgrounds and the story I would like to tell is of a young man named "Tyrone" (pseudonym).

On day one of the program I noticed that Tyrone had a really bad attitude. He was the tough guy and had to keep everyone else in their place. His attitude was judgmental and at time cruel to the other kids. He is fifteen years old with a forty year old chip on his shoulder. Being the type who wants to be a positive force in the world my inclination was to find the root cause and help Tyrone work through his issue.  I slowly began working through the mire in his head.

One day I decided to try a new tactic. I had each of the children tell me their most painful memory. We went around the circle and I was amazed at the horror stories that were told by these very young children. When it came to Tyrone his story started with, “My step dad knocked me out with his gun.” The story was that his step dad got mad and pulled out his pistol and hit Tyrone with the butt of his gun repeatedly. I then asked each of the kids to show me how, in real life, a fight begins. Several got up and showed how a fight starts. As a fight director everything is about the story. Each story has to be told physically and verbally to then be able to choreograph the scene honestly. It became very clear very early that Tyrone had been in plenty of fights. Usually he was the instigator of them as well.

“Man is a child of his environment”~ Shinichi Suzuki

After seeing his scene I asked him outright, “In your neighborhood do you have to be a tough guy?” “Yes,” was his wide eyed response. “So you have to fight to save face?” I asked. He continued telling me if he wasn’t tough he would be a target. “That must be hard.” I followed. His face grew serious and his eyes welled with tears, “Real real hard,” he answered. This young man who has a natural acting talent, has because of his environment become a mean hardened punk, because his environment says that he has to be that or be a victim. Over the next few weeks of the program Tyrone has come to trust me and I have been able to make some serious headway towards helping him surpass his environment.

The pivotal moment, however, did not happen when he was working with me. Early one day I walked off as the group was playing a warm up game called Murder Ball. I came back to Tyrone and Rachel (yup, another pseudonym) arguing. I pulled each one aside and had a talk finding out each side evenly.  I talked to Tyrone first and his story made sense in that it was a miscommunication. Rachel’s also conceded that it was a miscommunication and then she asked if she could talk to him privately. I asked what about and she replied, “I want to share with him that I am from the same kind of neighborhood and am making different choices and moving forward in my life.”  I called Tyrone over to meet with Rachel and I walked away. I let them speak for about twenty minutes when I returned. As I walked up I overheard Rachel saying, “So you can leave you attitude there because here you're safe and because we care.”

Tyrone made a shift that day. He became a happy laughing kid who began to excel in acting and stage combat. He had a few relapses of bad attitude because of subconscious muscle memory, but he quickly adapted back. I tell this story for a few reasons. One, because Tyrone is just a product of his environment. His environment is the way he was treated. If you treat a person differently from what they are used to, then you are creating a different environment for them with you.

What Rachel did was allow Tyrone to put his guard down and be a fifteen year old boy because he was safe and un-judged. I took a great lesson from Rachel and told her how proud I was of her leaving the argument behind and helping someone in need. When confronted with someone with a bad attitude instead of judging them, I believe we should give them the benefit of the doubt that their environment is different from yours and become a different environment of respect and love.

“Our environment, the world in which we live and work, is a mirror of our attitudes and expectations.” ~Earl Nightingale

I am truly thankful to be able to witness wonderful works in the world.
