THESE ARE OUR PEOPLE! HUMAN PEOPLE!

Wars, persecution, and instability have driven the number of refugees to historic highs. Rather than offer protection, many countries have erected new barriers, leaving many of today’s refugees in protracted limbo.

Now lets see where did I see it…..
Ah yes here it is…. in the great book of knowledge it says….
Wisdom is the greatest thing one can pass on to another….
Unconditional Love and Forgiveness are two of the Wisest teachings from the Great book of Knowledge.

Please remember today to Love And Forgive all your brothers and sisters across the globe unconditionally today and always.

In a world where hopelessness is starting to give hope a run for its money.

We live in a world where hope is starting to look bleak to many. and considering hope is invaluable when it come to a humans will to survive, i feel like i must be very mindful of what i say and how i say it to others in order to maintain a sense of hope within myself and for others.

Things to consider.

1. Let go of any ideas/thoughts/ belief you have of “I Can’t'” and never say it to yourself again,  and start building your relationship with your higher power immediately, surrender is vital in all walks of life

2. Relax and breathe, allow for the calm peace and quiet between the words as you speak to people, more often than not, less, precision, objective, clear communication with people will be received and heard more completely by your audience.    

3. Know your demographics, its really important to speak in the most relative manner you can to those listing so your message can be received and there’s can be heard.  

4. Find your truth in this life, your top three core values, don’t worry to much about beliefs they will change to much over time, and then just own it! embody it every day every moment of your life! know who you are so when you speak people take you seriously and to heart.

5. Be slow to speak, quick to listen, let go and let God, stay humble and reverent, always a student as well as a teacher of the truth, remember that you are an instrument through which great things can and will happen if you get out of your own way enough to allow for it to happen.

First, the value of those we save must be at least equal to or grater than the amount of money it will cost to save them… then perhaps we shall even narrow it down, are the people we are keeping from drowning even the right people? interestingly enough, 10,000.00 people just died while we were setting out guidelines…..At least now there are few to worry about !?!

Bottom line for me is people are drowning at sea, lets doe everything humanly possible to help save them, regardless, knowing that there are those who will be the ones who take action, and those who insure that our actions do cause more problems as a result. Regardless of what a human looks like or sounds like the cry for help from a drowning human sounds the same to my ears, as i have already jumped overboard with a life preserver and a rope tied to the ship.

When I read about Wolfgang I realized that some do…. Some really do… they put it all on the line for others because it who they are… While the book Crossing the Sea was no where as interesting as Nothing to Envy, mostly because of the writing style, what i learned was equally as riveting, and what it provoked has been terrifying, it provoked my own research into the matter and that is just as powerful as anything that could ever be done. Top bring to the attention of its readers the catastrophic events of human suffering all over the world…. awareness is something that no oppressor can change once it has happened. That is power my friends….

Become aware of whats happening, who knows what will come of it or how the ripple of your awareness of things like this will affect the situation, perhaps that not even for you to know, ever…. thats ok though….. just become aware and lets see what God does with it….

I was born into this world ARIES! FIRE! GOD OF WAR!, ALSO A WOOD TIGGER, MOST COMPASSIONATE, ALWAYS PUTTING FAMILY AND THE INNOCENT ABOVE ALL ELSE MY FIRST PRIORITY.

I often feel like I must have been left orphaned on a dying planet called mars, rescued by the paladins, given a second chance in the universe taught the old ways of compassion and forgiveness, given a second soul of the CHINESE TIGGER, the two fused together within me by powers beyond my understating, yet a truth I cannot deny to be what i feel in my heart and soul. its what makes me one of the most powerful unstoppable forces in the universe, and simultaneously makes me insane.

The more I learn about the suffering in this world and the epic proportion of it, the more my heart breaks, the more I just weep continuously, not just because of whats happening, more often its because I feel chained to the post of nonviolent resolution, left only to watch as millions suffer, as an Aries and Tigger mix I feel my blood boil and the rage of what I was born to do want to take flight. when most people hear something like “light em up” they probably think about a doobie, an innocent or some pretty scented candle…. I hear the sound of my own voice giving the command to lock and load and light up up the oppressor! reign holly hell fire down on them with an all out assault meant to leave nothing but rubble, crushed bones and burning flesh behind in my wake, walking through the fields one last time pleased with the smell of death, and sound of there skulls breaking under my feet as I insure safe passage to the men women and children of the innocent behind me. People like the Syrians….

What has our world come to that so many suffer so much! That evil is left to roam the planet so freely and treat the human species so harshly! Who fights for those who cant defend themselves! Especially the CHILDREN!

This looks so painfully familiar… a syrian death, a ukrainian death, human death. What/ who are we truly at war with. How long must this go on…

Some things Ive learned.

First lets keep it simple, honest, and as real as I can be about what i’ve learned, because it’s not just about the academic curriculum, it’s about every moment of my awareness, my personal perception of the experience and the people and places involved. I’ve learned a great deal more about the value of life, the value of all aspects of life, the blissful, the hell on earth, kindness, hate, suffering, forgiveness, finding peace and serenity in the acceptance of things as they are meant to be, and the unbelievable  transformational power of unconditional love……

As well as the incredible resilience of human beings to withstand some of the most unbelievably painful experiences, mentally, physically, emotionally, psychologically daunting, because of two particularly powerful aspects of human beings. One the will to live, willful intention, quite possibly the most powerful aspect of humanity fueled the one and only other thing to possibly match its power….. Hope. I personally can’t say for certain which is more powerful considering how in so many cases across the world a mere glimmer of hope, the tiniest little sparkle it in the darkest of hours when all seems lost and there is no apparent reason whatsoever to carry on, can give a single person or even 100’s of 1000’s of people what its take to harness the power of the will to live and carry on….. To carry on. I’ve come to this realization in many different ways, but for the sake of this paper I’ll just point out three, my personal experience of nothing left to live for over the last 4 years, broken beyond the simplicity of death, glimmers of hope, and the will to live have allowed for the paper to even exist. Many of the people here at W.C.C constantly remind me why it’s so important to never give up, and that there are wonderful people in the world, in particular here, that are kind, loving, caring, people who make have a positive influence and impact on the world and the people they come into contact with, showing me all the time that humanity is still very much worth fighting for.  Reading about the North Koreans and The
Syrian Refugees have certainly exposed how millions of humans all over the world push on because of the will to live and glimmers of hope.         

The world is full of wonder and beauty, just as it is full of hell on earth and seemingly endless suffering. Considering the fact that I live with the understanding that there is no separation, that there is a singularity of consciousness that connects all living things from deep with in myself down to the atomic level and beyond into the infinite luminous consciousness that I am at my inner most state of origin, back out in to the universe as far as time and light can travel, I’m not surprised that I too experience both extremes.

An account of who I  am today, transformed and evolved from becoming a full time student at W.C.C in the spring of 2019 by the grace of God, and my own willingness and determination to not give up and become another human filled in the obituary column somewhere in the files recording victims of severe mental, emotional, and physical domestic violence abuse, psychological torment from corrupted spiritual leaders, finally death by short lived but intense drug addiction, to escape the pain and suffering of COGNITIVE DISSONANCE.

Things I’ve learned @ W.C.C in classroom 112, Hale Manaleo, Kaneohe, HI 96744, since I started taking Eng-100 with Lance Uyeda and my fellow classmates. Including a brief look at how it has changed my personal perspective on the value of education, the powerful impact it can have in pursuing one’s dreams of helping in the process of bringing a better quality of life, love, joy and happiness to EVERY SINGLE SOUL I CAN POSSIBLY REACH of the human, animal, and plant based species across the globe, and even eventually out into the universe.

Syrian, to be or not to be a Refugee

Wolfgang Bauer, a man who knows what it’s like to be or not to be a Syrian Refugee!
Wolfgang Bauer is a free journalist, whos has extensive knowledge in Islamic Studies,
Geography and History. He has reported for the German magazine Focus, Zeit Dossier, Neon/Nido, Greenpeace Magazin, Geo and National Geographic. In 2011 he was awarded with the European Award for Excellence in Journalism Columbus. In april 2014 along with a college of his posing as english teachers, by choice embarked on a journey that most would have considered suicidal, if not at least crazy! There journey took them into the lives of Syrian refugees, giving them a direct experience of the smuggler gang brutality, process of detainment and deportation, crossing the sea in boats that mine as well been made from paper mache and toothpicks, and the politics of underground black market  human trafficking through Europe. So i recant, Syrian, to be or not to be a refugee…
If  it weren’t for great writers like Wolfgang who are willing to have a living experience of what they write about i wouldn’t be able to talk about what i’ve taken from his book Crossing the sea what I feel is important about  Syrian Refugees, what they go through, and in my opinion, most importantly what happens to them afterwards.  

First i’d like to touch on a couple of things I find interesting and important…. First probably the single most dangerous part of the whole journey, crossing the sea, since the ocean is an unpredictable force of epic proportion, well swells that have been know to swallow up navy vessels in the blink of an eye, and winds that have capsized and destroyed so of the most formidable seanearing ships. This is where the smuggler gangs come into play, some of the most disgusting people in this story. To take money from people in such context, where they have worked incredibly hard to get enough money together to embark on a live altering journey across the sea, putting there lives at risk, the wellbeing, and possible future of their families name and existence. Then to be put in categories based on the amount of money they are able to give, only to wind up in the same boat, exposing the outright inhumane mentality of these human traffickers is just apahling. Sadly enough though under the circumstances these human traffickers, smuggler gangs as they are referred to by Wolfgang are the very catalyst in which Syrian refugees have any shot at all at a better life not only for themselves but for the future of their families. At the same time these smugglers are just doing what they can to make a living to provide for their own families. I personally like to hope for the
best in humanity and give people the benefit of doubt, in particular in extreme cases like these, i would like to believe, hope,  that at least a boat or two among these people would have someone at the helm, doing in there hearts, what they believe is the best thing they can to make some kind of positive impact on the situation, contributing in some way aid to these people know Syrian Refugees. A life not chosen but forced to embrace and survive,  Syrian, to be or not to be Refugee…..

Second….. Syrian, to be or not to be Refugee…. It one thing to truly be a refugee and know constantly in the forefront of your mind and every action you take literally from moment to moment that you can and will die or be sent back at any given moment if you are caught or simply taken by misplacement of you travels in the right place at the wrong time or the wrong place at the right time. Verses the dare i say Luxury, considering the circumstances, although it is still a luxury, of knowing all the way in the back of your mind that should you get caught, political asylum will be granted the moment you reveal the truth of who you are, Wolfgang Bauer, a reporter. Don’t get me wrong i’m grateful beyond measure for what this man and his family have done, proving to me once again that there are good people in the world doing incredible things to expose the inhumane treatment of other human beings and living what i would consider an altruistic way of life and making a impact that will last and cultivate the kind of awareness needed in others worldwide to start really working together to create a world in which the well being of the human species is what we hold most valuable and not money, power, or self centered ways of life. I personally work diligently to live my life altruistically and work mindfully every day of my life to help cultivate this very way of life for the present moment and for our future, so i’m in awe of what has come from the book Crossing the sea in regards to public awareness, of what syrian refugees go through for freedom and further cultivating positive solutions to what’s happening to them and what we can continue to do to make life better for them, in particular long term sustainable placement opportunities. Something i find to be very important, something i will cover in the rest of this paper through my own research.

An overall reflection for a moment.

We all come to a fork in road from time to time, the direction we choose greatly determines our experience. Kim Jung II was born into a life constantly faced with a new fork in the road. A big difference between his and most peoples is that his choices affected an entire country and everyone in it. No pressure…….

So he did what everyone does at the moment of decision, make what he felt was the right one and move forward, with what he felt was in the best interest of his people and country.

As you know i like to look at things with a different perspective than most, today is no exception to my rule.

I don’t see that much that Kim did in his rule that is different from any other ruler in the history of man kind, and at the same time the few things he did do that few others did not, put him in the “light of disapproval”

More elaboration on this point of view in the coming blogs, but for now i pose this question to all who judge others for there actions. If your families very life and future depended on your every action, would you not do whatever it took to insure there survival to the best of your ability?
