So, it seems when we reflect back in history the colonial dominant male wanted to invade lands and take over and claim territories, bringing death, war and destruction in its midst. Then lesser nations were bought in as slaves and seen as peasants, the world begins to realise that Boundaries are very important (as in the human psyche too) , so then border security is enforced and sanctions put in place. However in the very countries that we have tried to dominate the political corruption within those countries aren’t stopped by the Western world and people – the everyday individual fleeing these areas from war and political oppression are told we won’t help them, in fact we will put them in squalid conditions, women and children too and make them live in camps that resemble pig sty’s and in fact, we can politically oppress those everyday people there and evict them every now and then so they don’t even become comfortable in squalor.
After considering the situation myself and after recently resigning from my TA work in special schools I have decided to claim my sanctuary in other countries. Resign? I felt I had no choice – following a curriculum that supports no creativity whatsoever, where children were encouraged in class to play ‘Exploding Kittens,’ A card game that encourages manipulation and stealing off peers and computer games of the same. A curriculum that installs dinosaur theories like Pythagoras – of which I have never needed to implement in my everyday life and in the most recent class that I assisted in a Special school, the teacher ran it like a military operation and she took a big dislike to me, we went on a long walk with the class to a park, it was a hot day and I sat on the grass and took off my very sweaty trainers, this was reported and I was asked to never return, although the teacher was allowed to run the class teaching games of manipulation and deceit. The young adults were not even allowed to laugh within the class. Therefore, I have now resigned and I only hope that those young adults, when they leave that school realise that that kind of conditioning isn’t real and as I recently stated in a podcast that kind of teaching is controlling and not encouraging.
And as for my own journey? After prosecuting or exploring this against people in my reality that have abused power and control over me. I found myself completely ousted from a community that lied against me and slated me of my emotional and material abundance. When I hear of people that have lost their whole family and support network I found myself in exactly this situation but in central England and only 2 years ago but ironically as I have now built boundaries, forged pathways and rediscovered myself and my faith and obtained new friendships and have found myself happiness and on reflection some of those people I never ever want to come across again in this life or the next and my book ‘From the Shadows to the Sky,’ which was named from someone on the set of the next Star Wars movie that is out in March 2027 and that I was immensely proud of to be a part of. The book is out towards the end of this Summer and I can’t wait. As sometimes even families that one is born into, like some governments and organisations can be immensely corrupt and damaging and I didn’t realise much of this until I began my latter years.
And if you have caused anyone pain and suffering, there is time for repentance as whatever is done in this life is judged in the next. As I say God is like a bank, he will only invest in good business plans.
Although I am proud that the UK is not engaged in bombing and from what I can see on the news healing the trauma from all of this war is going to take years SO a time when creativity should be at the top of the educational system.
On that note, especially if you are a good human have a beautiful day and may you be blessed with a life not too troubled or traumatic.
