I visited
Jamestown, Virginia for planetary healing.
I've
always been into solving really big problems. How to end
hunger, disease, or war - you know the usual stuff.
The
United States is a nation at war - with each other, with
other countries, and within ourselves. The things we glorify
most - at least through print and television - seem to all
involve conflict. Who is going to win an election? Which
team won against the other team? What is happening war wise
right now? You have to compete for grades, job promotions,
and with other companies for customers. There are always
winners and losers and those who feel victorious and those
who feel defeated.
It seems
to define us and to me it is like a disease. There is chaos,
turmoil, competition, high passion and rage over what often
is of little consequence. It causes a great deal of stress.
It leads to illness, mental breakdown, murder and suicide.
Many
people say that the founding fathers were "enlightened"
and that the United States was supposed to be the shining
jewel of the new world destined to lead the planet into
a time of peace and plenty.
We seem
to be doing a great job so far don't you think?
O.K.
many people have come here and really lived their dream.
And it is a heck of alot better than many other spots around
the globe. Yet it hasn't been so great for many others who
came here. It is still a land of promise. But the land is
literally tainted by the memories of death, hatred, bigotry,
slavery, war, suicide, starvation, and betrayal.
Sorry
for the bleak picture.
But
just as in your own life to really heal something you have
to sometimes look at all of its shadow and negativity in
order to move beyond it and let it go.
The
same is true of a nation.
So I've
been looking at this conflict within the United States for
a long time. How can we approach it in a planetary healing
way? How can we fix what seems to be broken?
It's
been in the back of my brain brewing. New information gets
added and then I mull it over a bit and then it goes off
to be worked on some more by my subconscious and Higher
Self without my conscious input.
As
I talk to my son, Jess, about history, I've been reminded
of the beginnings of this nation.
We have
very little information about how the natives lived before
the europeans showed up.
The
first group of europeans who came to settle were lost
- Roanoke. No-one seems to know what happened to them.
The
second group who came were looking for riches and settled
in Jamestown, Virginia. They had been told that
there were so many riches here that gold and jewels were
just lying around on the ground for a person to pick up.
They came for greed and greed alone. They were so consumed
with the desire for riches that they almost starved to death.
The
next group who came were obsessively religious and lived
their lives as they believed God intended. And
their view of what God intended was in direct conflict with
what others felt God intended. We still run that discrepency
throughout the world and it has caused countless deaths
and centuries of sorrow.
The
fourth group who came brought slaves.
My what
a grand way to begin a new nation. Sorry for the sarcasm.
It feels better than crying about it.
Eventually
there were 13 colonies which later became states. They got
tired of being a colony and paying outrageous taxes, so
they went to war with the motherland - England.
So now
there was a nation founded on the glorious ideals
of greed, religious fanatacism, slavery, and war.
They
say the founding fathers were inspired (in spirit) with
the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. However,
the representatives from each of the colonies - except one
who was in such conflict with its neighbors it wouldn't
even send a representative - spent 7 months in Philadelphia
arguing about the Constitution and how this new nation should
govern itself. When the piece of paper was finally agreed
to and signed, a copy was taken back and read in each of
the colonies and it caused great outrage everywhere.
Beautiful
beginnings.
The
former ownership of slaves translates to feeling more important
than, feeling you have greater value than, another. It is
called arrogance. It still exists. Thank heavens it is no
longer legal to own slaves.
Unfortunately
feeling better than, or more important than, another still
runs rampant in the form of career and treatment of others.
Who has a higher education? Who has a fancy house? How those
with money treat their hired help, or the waitress, or the
clerk in the store. How the hired help have to keep their
mouth shut and do what they are told or lose their job.
Often
the level of self esteem is directly proportionate to the
amount of money one has.
The
europeans came in and took over the land, killed and/or
moved those who were the actual custodians of the land,
destoyed the forrests, killed off most of the wildlife,
polluted the air and water, and all out of arrogance.
My former
husband, Raven, often just shakes his head at how the Unites
States operates and the decisions we make and the things
we hold dear. He is from Canada. They don't run the same
energetics or thought processes there.
Have
you seen Bowling for Columbine with Michael Moore? You should.
It is hugely eye opening about some of the differences between
Canada and the U.S. and tries to make sense out of why Columbine
happened.
When
I lived outside Toronto I discovered that they earn about
the same as we do for the same career. Their housing and
food costs about the same.
They
own as many guns and yet have practically no murders anywhere.
The movie compares two cities of the same size on either
side of the Great Lakes. The U.S. city has over a hundred
murders per year. The canadian city had 1 murder in the
previous 10 year period. Wow.
It really
makes you wonder why there is such a difference. It is the
same continent. The land is as large. They are both the
new world. They are both thriving and beautiful countries.
So
why does Canada experience so much harmony and why does
the U.S. experience so much of the opposite?
I am
blessed to have some wonderful and psychic people in my
life. I was recently talking to a friend about my trip to
Virginia Tech and D.C. and I said "Don't think, just
tell me what you get when I say 'What is the point of origin
of all of the conflict within the United States'."
Their response was, "Jamestown."
My own
intuition and several other psychics confirmed Jamestown
as a prime suspect. I went under the presumption that that
a lot of the conflict in the United States was born in Jamestown
and has festered and grown and morphed and expanded and
run amuck until now.
So I
headed for Jamestown, Virginia.
Many
people joined me through prayers and intentions to provide
planetary healing at the "point of origin" and
every conflict since, so that the harmony and magic can
be restored to this glorious land and nation, within the
people, inside their homes and organizations, between each
person and their surroundings.
After
Jamestown, I headed for Washington D.C. for more of the
same.
I don't
presume to have all the answers, nor do I feel that one
person alone can heal wounds and conflicts as large as this.
I do feel that if each person does their little part we
can live in a much healthier, happier place.
Blessings,
Debbie
