A Message from our Youth - " A Soldier's Heart " Good morning, I am a member and part of our Young Adult Group at Santa
Rosa Center for Spiritual Living.
Next Tuesday, November 11th, will be the 90th anniversary
of Armistice Day.
An armistice is a situation where warring parties agree to stop fighting. This day was originally
set aside to reflect and remember the sacrifices men and women made during World
War I. About 1953 it became Veteran's
Day to acknowledge the veterans of all wars and to thank them for their service.
But no matter which conflict they were in, our soldiers often return with
"Post
Traumatic Stress Disorder", also known as "Soldier's Heart". I prefer this term because it reminds
me of the soul-wounding that happens in
war.
In 1998, the total
number of Vietnam veterans who committed suicide after
returning
to the US was over 100,000. The memorial in Washington DC would be
three times its current length
if all the names of our dead were included
today.
What we don't
learn from the past, we are doomed to repeat. The Iraq Wars
have
not produced as many dead as other wars. But in 2007, CBS reported on
the "Suicide Epidemic
among Veterans" of the Iraq Wars stating that veterans' aged 20-24 had the highest rate
- conservatively estimating 120 deaths per week in 2005 alone by suicide.
It is important for me to remember that a spiritual being has no political party or agenda,
only love. And it does not matter if I believe in their cause or logic. I must remember that these men
and women are our brothers and sisters, mothers and fathers, sons and daughters; and are entitled
to God's love and therefore my love. Because of this love I can only give my
whole hearted support to the process of helping to heal and welcome them home. It is my belief that
we the people have a responsibility, by which I mean the ability to respond, to our veterans. To the
returning veteran, let our leaders and people say "You did this in our name and because you were subject to our orders. Let us help. We will share this burden with you. We love and honor
you. Welcome home."
Without this sharing of responsibility, the veteran becomes the
nation's scapegoat and carries the nation's grief and guilt for all of us. Keeping our distance from our veterans is how we dehumanize them.
I am not here to ask
for money or for a moment of silence. For those who have past have only silence left, and silence will
not serve those who are still with us. I ask only for your thoughts of love to touch those in your life that have come back and remember those who did not. To them say "thank you".
It is my hope that we begin to think about what we can do, as a community, to help bring peace to the
hearts & minds of all veterans and for us to help them find their way home. Ah, the WISDOM of our Youth! Blessings, Rev. Suzette

"Inner Circle" spirit group will be meeting Tuesday night @ 7:00
at Daniels home. CALL TO CONFIRM EXACT
DATES AND TIME MONTHS DATES. The meeting
starts with singing meditation, then singing songs focusing on the vibration that music brings, and how it connects us to
God's presence, then we have a short message and discussion, hope you can make it! The "Inner Cirlce" is a "New Thought"
spiritual group, it embraces teaching's from many great teachers "Jesus" "Buddha" "Ernest Holmes" etc. first
and formost we are an "experiential" meeting of individuals looking to find a deeper connection to "Source",. Through singing we create vibrational energy's that
can link us to a deeper understanding of our inherent communion with the Universe/God. As we explore the fullness of
this, we collectively experience profound consciousness shifts, that inspire and challenges us. the system
is birthed out of my process of connecting to spirit
and allowing it to flow through me, creating new songs that inspire me and at the same time lift my consciousness. after we
do this collectively there will be a short message,. (this week by Sharon Hudson ) 10347 Madrid
