We seem to continually be faced with healing the collective trauma of war as a result of allowing others perception of belief to take precedence over our own. I don’t know many people who would choose war as a solution to their problems, simply because of the negative aftereffects. It does, however, seem to be quite an economic powerhouse, is that cause enough to continue it? Why would anyone legitimately choose to harm others as a means to achieve a goal (whether it’s our goal or not)? Is it fear? Is it complacency? Is it programming? Is it psychological influence? WHY??
War separates mothers from children, children from parents, psychologically challenges organic loving aspects of humans and emotionally disassociates the ‘soldier,’ physically maims and damages the body, and literally chooses who lives and dies by association of cause. In my humble opinion, war is THE worst kind of trauma that perpetuates generation after generation, and it is quite easy to see in our world, country, and communities.
The psychology used to encourage suffering, sacrifice, and martyrdom among humans will loop until one (or hopefully many) choose not to participate in or even entertain such behavior. If we choose to exit the loop, we can change the trajectory of outcome. A choice made to love, rather than be persuaded to harm out of either persuasion of belief, anger, or simply a lack of knowledge of the human condition itself, which is kindness (humankind.)
I’m choosing to view the trauma of war through the eyes of a mother. As a mom of two grown daughters, the selfless act of growing a human, even if it came unplanned, is life changing. Many women take this for granted or choose to view motherhood as a medical condition of sorts without regard to the incredible blessing it is to grow a human within our being. It’s more than a body, its and entire emotional, thoughtful human being within our being, how incredible and SUPERhuman is that?!!!
Speaking from this place, it is impossible to fathom having harm come to my child or another’s. It brings grief to me; even more so when war seems it is for selfish gain. power, control, or worldly stature. The bond of love is unending, created from generation to generation in every human ever conceived. The gift of life coming from the mother’s womb which held, nourished and grew every consecutive generation one after the next, with each human also holding the ability to do the same, creating human life. Ever female created all the eggs to be fertilized within their ovaries within their mother. Every male began the process of sperm production within their mother. The FEMALE is THE vessel for creation, even though the male holds a specific role, the mother’s womb facilitates the act to completion and exit from watery home to dry land and breath. Can you see why a MALE will never fully inner stand this gift? Why no matter how they try, they still seek a warm place to be held when they are hurt or unloved? Without reverence and respect to creating another human, the role is diminished to a simple task that anyone with intention could replicate, but the reality is not that. The human condition of emotional love supersedes the ‘task’ as superhuman, and it is the familiar reason for every belief genre to glorify motherhood. Will the sanctity and respect gain foothold in our current earthly climate with unrealistic expectations where motherhood is relegated to a ‘role’ and not a condition of birthing a human?? To disregard the miracle of motherhood is to disregard CREATION itself to the point where we are dicing, splicing, and interjecting patented codes for the creation and supplementation of existence as a human.
Now, it wouldn’t be fair to point out mothering in our world poses challenges; from simply choosing to be one, being a healthy vessel for growth, being emotionally balanced to handle the challenges of raising a human to adulthood, having a partner who supports the process, having the freedom to manage influences around the growth process, etc. Humans are essentially pre-programmed and simultaneously externally programmed and conditioned through their immediate surroundings and experiences. To consider the mothers responsibility is daunting, yet we each embark on this task when we deliver our children. The sons and daughters of our mothers have the ability to both break cycles and heal bonds in upcoming generations. Evolution in motion through awareness, conscious decision making, loving and nurturing choices in parenting. It’s beautiful, really! We can learn to empathize with mothers’ who struggle and whose choices were based in the influence and experience they entered into motherhood with, be it external persuasion, illusion, or corruption of belief in prior generations AND hold space for them and encourage and empower them to heal these wounds (often from their own childhood). When we learn and know better, we are responsible for choosing better. And so it is.
Bless the mothers and those who respect this incredible ability and ultimately, gift. Bless the mothers and those who find the courage to change behaviors from harmful to loving and break cycles of traumatic behavior. Bless those who are not capable of seeing how an attitude of war and putting any one human over another is anything by harmful and traumatic, I pray they will soon have their eyes opened to this truth without experiencing a loss to complete the cycle. There can be more than one kind of warrior, a warrior of love and courage who seeks compassion and forgiveness will empower others to do the same without bringing death or harm in the process. Love and Light, and as always…”In all you say and all you do, simply BE authentically YOU!” Tammy
