Who said following the Prime Directive and Creating Peaceful Space was easy. It was not me! It really hurts me to see so many people walking around in so much pain, their faces and bodies contorted into images of resignation to an unwanted fate, despair, frustration, disappointment, resentment, anger, and the most contorted expression of all, hatred. The expression that is perhaps the most disturbing is the expression of loss. An emptiness and lack of vitality in their Ase Ami (Energy Signature) makes them stand out like a sudden and prolonged silence on a clamorous street. In the Handbook On Being Human, vol I, the Mysterious Dr. M. refers to these individuals as the Shonu, the Lost. They are described as humans who have given up on their selves and on humanity. They are not in rebellion but in a state of heightened discontent and confusion about how to change either their environment or their selves.
The Enia and I believe that each of us is born with a destiny that drives us if we listen or disturbs us if we don’t. Your Ori (inner head) whispers to you. It calls to you urging you on to the right decisions, although many of us don’t listen. We also believe that we are each born with a predisposition towards the Prime Directive, and that that predisposition can be nurtured or thwarted. Sometimes, I’d say too often, bad things happen to us when we come into this world and the consequences of those early experiences can knock us off our intended course for years, for a lifetime. Getting lost in this world is not difficult, not at all. It can happen anywhere along the way. It often starts in early childhood which is why the Enia believe the Prime Directive should be taught to all of our children as early as possible. As Dr. M. describes in the Handbook, we come into this world as pure potential and then someone meets us here, and they begin the process of squeezing a size 12 foot into a size 5 shoe. Most of us forget that we are really a size 12 forced into a size 5 and we carry and come to expect the related pain as though it belongs to us. And for many of us the pain of the conformity is too great, so unbearable, that we become broken people. And if we react too badly to our negative experiences we can become shattered beyond repair.
Sometimes broken people are like cracked vessels that leak what they should contain. Some broken people syndicate their sorry by striking out against anyone and everyone around them. It is not always intentional or conscious behaviors. More often than not, a broken person has retreated to their Instinct of Pugnacity and their Emotion of Anger as an unconsciousness defensive behavior to deny the internal reality of their own pain. As Dr. M. describes in the Handbook, the Instinct of Pugnacity (to fight) ranks with fear… in terms of …the great strength of its impulse and the high intensity of the emotion it generates. Critical to his description is the statement, …this instinct is called forth from the internal interpretation of a feeling or an experience, like being challenged, threatened, constrained, or deceived. The condition of its excitement is rather any opposition to the free exercise of any impulse, any obstruction to the activity to which the creature is impelled by any one of any such instincts. Broken people unwittingly challenge, threaten, constrain, and deceive because they want others to share the burden they carry. Generally they will persist until their temperament of pugnacity and anger are explained and redirected back to them as the source of what they claim to be happening to them. Too often family members, friends, co-workers, employers, employees, and the rest of us choose to claim the person’s pain as our own, share in their burden, and tolerate their obnoxious behaviors rather than to insist that they claim what is theirs and not syndicate it to others.
Some cracks are bigger than others! Have you seen Tyler Perry’s new movie Good Deeds. I recommend it, for what that’s worth! To me Good Deeds is really the story of the Journey to Peaceful Space. Tyler Perry’s character is broken in a way and over the course of the movie he learns how to turn down the volume of the world and listen to his own Ori. His brother in the movie plays the role of a really broken person who reacts badly to his experiences. I hope you see the movie so that you can see how his pugnacity and anger were explained and redirected back to him as the source, in order for him to be confronted with the choice to change. The choice Create Peaceful Space. Thandie Newton’s role is actually very much the way Dr. M. describes the Dabobo Enia (The Defender People) in the Handbook. They devote themselves to protecting the Leru (the Fearful). They often touch you lightly to open your mind (Ori) so that you can hear your inner voice guiding you to make the right choice (go this way, go that way, don’t stay here, don’t pick that up, don’t stop for that person, don’t accept that idea). Your ever-watchful Ori, Carrier of Your Destiny!
Creating Peaceful Space starts with the selfish act of taking care of your self. Give yourself a treat and see the movie.
