• Our Abusive Parents Loved Us.

  Tinogona, It is Achievable! Tererai Trent

  Sometimes it is hard to grasp the how or to figure out the way, but all that is needed is the faith in that it can happen.

  Surrendering the details up to the Universe and just keep our energy and focus and feeling in ‘it is achievable’ for Who is on our side.

  As I sit and begin to hear and know more of the abuse that is running rampant in families and how their legacy goes on for generation upon generation, I feel an overwhelming weight of not just turning one person, but their whole pathology.

  A child sits so young and malleable, so impressionable and is being taught the pedagogy of his ancestors most of which have suffered as he is, having been raised by adults who have failed to see their own pathology.

  To reach the child, it seems we have to sway the adult, to appeal to the wounded child within, to get the fearful hurt confused essence to hear our words.

  What I must remember, is that I heard… I was able to resonate with the words one brave little girl spoke, so perhaps, the children will lead this parade.

  Alice Miller speaks of an enlightened witness and the word enlightened means,

  1. rational: free of ignorance, prejudice, or superstition
  2. well informed: having a sound and open-minded understanding of all the facts, or based on such an understanding
  3. having achieved great spirituality: having achieved the realization of a spiritual or religious understanding.

  I love the first two meanings, for without them, you can’t achieve spiritual understanding, for I believe that real spirituality is having an open mind that understands all of the facts.

  Being an Enlightened Witness for a child means that you will report to the Authorities so that they can question the child. Sadly, our system is set up so that the child has to be the one to start this ball rolling, and perhaps it is they that are the strongest among us, the least ignorant to the lay of the land within their homes.

  By being a parent who is willing to say, that the legacy of abuse begins with me, is to free the child from having to point this out. Children are dying and suffering all to keep an image of a good parent, even when all evidence is to the contrary.

  It is achievable to stop the legacy of abuse, if we all stand up and speak the truth of what is going on in our homes, for the shame to fall upon the adults and leave the children to be free and innocent.

  As it stands now, the children are suffering silently due to the silence of so many knowing adults.

  What is your pathology? How was it being a child of your parents? However you were treated as a child, you will ‘naturally’ parent that way, for it was what was taught to you.

  In order to change this pathology, you have to see that the parents who raised you were wrong, they did not teach you love, they taught you evil.

  It is by becoming enlightened to the facts and by seeing the truth, which you can then stop this insidious disease.

  It is spread by ignorance alone…we simply were taught that our abusive parents loved us.

  It is achievable to know real love.

• Blanket of White Light

  I just awoke from a dream in which I was conversing with my mother, part of the dream she was there, the other she was on the phone, it vacillated back and forth.

  There was a lot of over talking where our loud voices drowned out the other; it portrayed pretty accurately how my feelings would react to her words and sentiments.

  What I feel the most is being washed over by her needs, like a heavy pull into her very twisted life, or being sucked into a vortex, while what I need the most was the serene peace away from her.

  Yesterday I heard about twenty minutes of an interview that Oprah had with a child suffering from being too sensitive to negative energies, and how he stated that he has to steer clear of negative people or their energies will invade his life and overtake his calm peace.

  He profoundly spoke of using White Light to surround himself and how this keeps the negative energies away.

  (I just went to http://www.oprah.com and watched him talking to Oprah about negative energies and White Light…it is at towards the ending of the write up and you can actually watch him.)

  His simple description of wrapping himself in White Light prevents him from being spun out of control by negative people and things, equals my backing up from many in my family. Once you know where the drains are we need to steer clear.

  What he also stated is that negative energies feed off of the calm energies…. When you put this into practical practice, you can see how pedophiles feed off little girls, and it changes them once the negative energies are allowed in, it alters their balance inside.

  It is clear to me the visual of dark energies and how if you are not aware, will be sucked into them and their world, how you will serve them and leave your calm peaceful self behind. As a child you are unaware of what even happened, and sadly in the case of the monster in the home, you can’t escape the negativity, you are saturated in it.

  This also seems to explain even my daughter, how her good energy was slurped up by his negative life situation eventually darkening her, changing her brightness, and dimming her.

  The little boy speaks of doing the White Light by saying and knowing he is calm, love, awesome, cool, wise etc.

  This is how we overpower the negative, by knowing who we are.

  In his case he is overly sensitive to anyone who is carrying negative energies, and that even in his home, his parents have to try and be peace, love and joy, for if they are worry, fretting and anxious, he feels that and responds.

  This brilliant example shows how our energies affect others.

  How I had to back up from my original family to maintain my inner peace, love and joy.

  And oddly enough it also shows me that my husband is right on track, when he said that our home had to be the safe haven for my daughter.

  My greatest feat in all of this, was to continually push away the thoughts and fears, and settle instead of keeping it a normal peaceful place to be and for me to match that peace as well.

  Our home had to be a White Light zone.

  My dream of the vortex of negative energy and how it wants to dance with my peace by washing over me and leaving nothing but a shell remaining.

  Unless I speak up, saying loudly and clearly, I know who you are what you want and I refuse you entrance in my world.

  My intent 6 long years ago was to go forth with Love, Peace and Joy, what I didn’t know then was that I was hooking my wagon to White Light.

  All my choices from that day forward had to match peace, love and joy inside. If I didn’t feel at peace I didn’t make that choice, be it mother, father, sister or brother, I let them all go for my peace.

  Now I know I was choosing to wrap myself in a blanket of White Light.

• That Kind are not Family.

  I heard the Oprah show on the radio about the twin girls that were abused for years by their brothers and father, whose mother knew but did nothing.

  At the end of the show Oprah gives them a few words of wisdom, one about forgiveness and the other about not letting their spirits be killed by what their brothers and father did to them.

  She said her definition of forgiveness is,

  “Forgiveness is giving up the hope that the past would have been any different.”

  She told them to let go of the hope for a different kind of father.
  Let go of the hope for different kind of brothers.
  Let go of the hope for a different kind of mother.

  Letting go of the hope a Different Kind…you have to then accept the kind you have.

  In my case, I had to accept a raping kind of father and a mother who also knew, but did nothing.

  We did not get the loving kind or the supportive protective kind, we got the abusive kind.

  Secondly, Oprah said, “I want you to not let the spirit be killed by what your brother and father did, to not let the spirit die.

  The toughest part is really feeling that the hope is gone for a different kind of father/mother/siblings, but at that point when you lost all, you are then left with a part of yourself that is beyond all that, your spirit.

  It seemed to me, in the darkest moment of seeing the kind of family I had, I was then able to see a small seed that wasn’t going to be defined by what they did to me, it was a part of me that separated from them.

  I then set to work on redefining me and reworking the parts of me that were confused and mixed up due to abuse.

  I had to learn how to love, to trust and to find faith within myself.

  I had to reestablish what I felt were my boundaries since I was raised in a home without boundaries, in an unsafe place, where a father can rape a child and the mother remains married to him, forgiving his ‘sins’, Sins that hurt me.

  If these twins can find the strength to fully accept that the kind of parents and siblings they have, they can then begin to make choices that will not include abuse.

  If you don’t see the monsters you will continue to have ‘father/brother’ like relationships with a men who rape you.

  The greatest work that needs to happen is that you have to pick only one. A father OR a Monster, you can’t have both.

  And at that time you will also pick which one you will be.
  A daughter who allows this behavior or one who will save her spirit and walk away free.

  Also at the end of the show, Oprah said that 99% of abuse is from family members or someone we know, and we have to be willing to put fathers, brothers, uncles and friends in jail. And this is huge. This is key, this is very had for most to do, which is why mothers don’t see and sisters don’t tell etc, no one wants to put family in jail, families that rape and abuse children! Families of that kind are not family!
