Healing the Inner Child
This is my personal composition

in May 2007
As usual, I only copy and edit graphically, what is relevant for my own understanding,
learning and applying to my living.
May 22-31, 2011: enriched by more nourishment
Healing the Inner Child
…. we are taught that the mind is our
master ... Can we blame our parents, our societies and
our churches? …. When our True Self is not acknowledged
or heard The Inner Child is our emotional
self
It is through healing our Inner Child ... It is possible to feel feelings without
becoming a victim. |
M
a y 2 2 , 2 0 1 1 "...the young woman gives birth to a child..." [Isaiah 7:14] [See My Song for Immanuel my Son 1963/1993 On Independence Day I heard the noise of the Airforce aeroplanes flight formation and ran out. My neighbors Albert and Tzacha also watched. To foster the relationship (Tzacha so far didn't like me), I walked over, barefoot, as I was, and said: "Albert, since a week ago we talked about my pilot son: last year El-Al flew such a formation for the first time, though only along the shore of the Mediterranean. My son Immanuel was flying one of the 4 planes! And you know, what that means for me? I'm thinking of my father, who fell at the age of 31 - what would he, a Nazi soldier, say about his grandson?" [see the contrast between Elah's Holocaust Show and her father's participation in El-Al's flight-show on Independence-Day above Israel] Tzacha was deeply moved, she told about a holocaust victim in her close family, and at some point said (-she manages the local library-): "I want to find a biographer, who will write your story! You are a gift to Israel!" Now she mailed me the address of "Keshet-Publishing House", asking me - "to sell myself" [my words], though I had told her that it was not me, who has to take care of that. There are 40 biographical pages in Hebrew in my book, but what I write, is too complex, - I don't reach people. And this is what I wrote to her about my son and Germany: |

The Death and Rebirth of our Divine Child
By Kate Spreckley

May
23, 2011
At the end of this night I was shaken and torn by a familiar nightmare, having to be in time somewhere, in this case for a flight to my son, and not finding the things and items that I needed to take with me, not even the suitcase or backpack in which to put them. I woke up 3-4 times, trying to pull myself out of the terrible dream. But it became worse: the panic of realizing, that most things were not with me, but in my parallel abode, in this case in Heidelberg, where my son was born. Finally, I recalled - in the dream - what Boris (24)said yesterday several times : "I want to get rid of more and more things so that all I need fits into one bag." Since Markus, my German Skype-friend in Texas (30) has the same ambition, and since I myself lived for 3 months at the SaltSea in 2000 with one bag only, we said: in the future we'll get whatever we need in a certain moment, by magic. [I mentioned the passage from Godchannel on May 21, 2011 on the previous Nourishment page] In the dream, and more so, when I woke up, I was exhilarated by this prospect: To magically bring to myself whatever I need in a certain moment, and to let it go just as magically, when and where I won't need it! But there was another aspect in this dream, which expressed an unfulfilled desire: Though - in time - there were many people and different locations, the person, who was closest to me and who was to travel with me, was Jonathan, my eldest grand s o n, whose sad face troubles me. [I saw this face often, when I now sculpted the photos of Itamar's Bar-Mitzva] He was born on April 15, 1991, the date in 1964, on which I immigrated with my son Immanuel, Jonathan's uncle. When he was recruited into the army, I created an artful letter. It never arrived, since his mother gave me the wrong address. I felt then, that it obviously shouldn't have arrived and saved it. Now, that he most willingly agreed to a 'grandma-birthday talk', (20 thanks - he is now 20 - about his past year , and 3 wishes for his new year) but "could never make it" on the fixed phone-time, I may send him that letter, written on Dec. 12, 2010. |

More Nourishment from "Driving Backward" to 1941, 1983, 2010 - and
from some synchronicity with the Present on this very day...
To my birthday letter to
Jonathan in April 2010, a letter which also never arrived,
I added the following document: "The Irony of Destiny" July 12, 1983, A poem to my father, a Nazi-soldier, killed in Sicily on August 5, 1943, 10 days before my 5th birthday, - missed for 3 years, till we got the "news". Next to the poem I had glued a photo made by him on July 4, 1941 in Riga: "Jews have to clean up!" (after the German bombardment of the town). Synchronicity in the Present - on Monday, May 23, 2011, 11:30 AM I wanted to search for "Riga" , to put a link on it, when I saw a news-item: "An aeroplane of El-Al, on its way to New-York, returned because of a failure in its wheel, it landed safely!" I sent an SMS to Efrat, asking if Immanuel was involved in this. She called me: Yes, yes, he was in that plane, though as a passenger, in order to bring another plane back. He was supposed to fly already at 6 PM, but because of a failure, the flight was postponed till midnight, so he went home to take part in the Lag-ba-Omer bonfire of Mika's kindergarden kids & parents. At some point Mika threw a stone, which hit her father's forehead, he felt so dizzy that he almost fell into the bonfire, but recovered . Before midnight - in the plane - he missed his computer-charger. He called Efrat and she sent a taxi with the charger, and an SMS: " It's after midnight: A new day has begun, which will be better." But then, at 7 AM: a phone from Immanuel, and the news on TV! "We had to return midway, I put on my tag and calmed the 270 passengers. a F16 [a fighter-plane] flew underneath us and identified the failure of the wheel, we poured out 91 ton of fuel over the sea, and when we arrived we saw some hundred ambulances & fire-fighters ready for us!" He didn't come home this time, but - dead-tired - sat in another plane. Right now, Monday, he is still on flight, and will return on Wednesday. Why did Efrat hope for a "better day"? Because of other "hitches" before: 4 days earlier, daughter Elah was supposed to fly to NY for performing in a commercial. At midnight they were sent home, "because of a plane-failure", and were "invited" at 6 AM. After the exit of Shabbat, Immanuel was to fly as a reservist in the Airforce. On the way there his car said: stop!! .............. the car had died , unrepairably. "But no one's life has been hurt!" I say and breathe grate-fully , and so does Efrat. "Yet why did all this happen?" I asked and she said: "At least I always tell myself, that you are saying, that none of your actors will die!" I continued to ask myself why they attracted all this into their drama? "One incident I understand: Mika's stone on her fathers forehead on Lag-ba-Omer! You should not participate in this horrid celebration of this criminal Bar-Kochba!" "I know", said my daughter-in-love meekly, but how can Mika understand that? As to the other incidents, 3 times with aero-planes, once with a car, I don't know. |
When
rereading this letter, before trying to send it to Jonathan again, I see, that it is a summary of all my life's DOING in the exterior world, so dense and so tense, that, no wonder, he was not supposed to get it. But as the last sentence predicts: "perhaps at your 20th birthday?" continued below |

Still
on May 23, 2011, 16:20 While swimming, swirling in the pool , I saw myself phrasing a long, pointed letter to my son, in which I wished to convey my understanding about the "contretemps" with the aeroplanes and the car. On my way back I asked on the inside, if such preaching would not put him off, and I prayed, that "magic" would help me to make him receive without words, that he has to s l o w down, and that means, to limit his too many occupations. Now, while trying to take a nap, some commercial on the Internet started to talk of itself. I had to get up to make it shut up, and it was then, that a very concise phrasing came to me: |
"Thank you very much! And thank you that "in
the mean w h i l e "
I can do without pressure of time and of being obsessed with "completing"
things!

"Walking humbly with your God" [Micah 6:9] |
Above
the screen in the center Rotem's sculpture for my 70th birthday: A grownup and a child on Planet Earth, or so I see it. A slow turtle from the left a slow turtle from the right and nature symbols to their sides, but also devices of "faster, higher" below them: the computer, and to the left: the Skype-camera, and behind them two women in Succah in the desert in 1994, Hamdah and Yael, between them: the symbol of "Partnership" Israel & Ishmael: "walking humbly towards each other" |
"to be one who works among others to help them put the pieces together and not be responsible for the pieces being put together herself, is a lesson. People must be given small steps to turn their lives around. Things that are within their immediate grasp. She must always give thought to what is their next step as an individual or as a group and help them see the next step, something that can be obtained rather than shooting for the stars. Depression will result from this and falling back into old habits and lack of motivation. [See this quote, channeled to me in 1988, in "Mika's small creations with Nature"] [See the quote also- together with my cherished song from the movie: St. Francis of Assisi: "if you want your dream to be, build it slow and surely, small beginning, greater ends..." - in the sequence "My Desire", Dec. 1-2, 2009, which is also the end of "Abraham's The Vortex"] |
Aren't
the sons of the desert, the Bedouins, the epitome of going slowly, of walking humbly with thy God? Why did little Immanuel , at the age of 9, draw this picture: "The Bedouin comes back from the waterfall to the tent, and the child awaits him" ???? Ever since I "settled" at the outskirts of Arad in the Desert not so far from the waterfalls of Ein-Gedi above the Salt Sea, I have this silver-tray (inherited from Efrat) on my desk [See the the tray behind the labtop and "Hagar&Ismael above one of the loudspeakers]: with a most crucial passage in that 1988 message for me, glued to my son's image, and enhanced by a prophecy, a second stanza to the known song: Rejoice will the Wilderness! From my biblical sculpture "Hagar&Ismael" "There will be no peace here, until we, the Jews, will become the guests of the Desert People, and let them connect us to the earth (adamah). Once we shall be dependent on them, they will feel equal and then they might forgive us the expulsion of Ismael."

Arad, May 25, 2011
What about sexual abuse and incest?
click!
It is proven, that
I want to celebrate what is right with the world.
But there is still one theme, with which I am incapable of coping,
on both levels: my personal life and humanity all over the world:
the " l i n k " between the sexual abuser and the sexually abused.
Dr. Christine Bergmann, former German family-minister, and now Independent
Delegate for the Assessment of Child Sexual Abuse":
Yesterday, after more than a year, she
published her report , based on 15000 notifications of victims.
Of these - 62% cases pertain to incest in families, and the others to cases
in the Catholic and Protestant Church and other groupings.
Channel
3SAT dedicated last evening to this issue, by showing a) the excruciating
Dogme 95-movie Festen,
The Celebration (1998),
and b) the doc "We were
not the only ones", about the horrid hell in "the best
boarding-school of Germany", the Odenwald-Schule.
I forced myself to watch both, since I was left frustrated by my
correspondence with the Channelers of Godchannel concerning incest.
Two facts - though not new to me - hit me more than before.
The charismatic director! of that school, and the teacher for music! (there
were 16 other perpetrators in the seventies and eighties),
were both truly humane and kind men, who created a relationship of peers with
their pupils, listened to them and empowered them.
Therefore one of the "psychologic" reasons, "lack of zest and
fulfilment", mentioned by me in my letter to the
Channelers, does not fit.
The other fact: the "collaboration" of the victims was mostly due
to their awe and respect and feeling inferior towards their teachers.
My own "collaboration" at the age of 10, of 22, of 40, of 55, was
always caused by my terror of men, older in age, greater in fame.
If this terror-trauma was not triggered, I behaved like every "decent"
woman behaves, as - by coincidence - I just read
about
1986.
I've healed most of my own shame, powerlessness and victimhood, but I cannot
heal what happened to ...
And worse: I cannot understand, what t i c k s
the perpetrators, except condoning that they are "sick".
But the
divine "Folks" say, that I am both the perpetrator and the victim.
"Bring the ancient war home to the only place it can
be healed,
inside of you.
You will be pleasantly surprised by the powerful results
of owning and healing the perpetrators within yourself."
And the Channelers
are emphasizing what is the overall message of Godchannel,
that all of the gaps in Creation
have been the result of unconsciousness
and that healing them within ourselves
is the only way they will heal in the outer world.
In their article which they linked to their letter to me: Loving
Life Force Energy
they say:
"Trying to resolve the issue at the level
of the story
keeps us in the mind, and away from the actual feeling.
It's only by feeling the energy of
the feeling
where it is located in body
that we are able to heal it."
Though I find this helpful,
I was put off by another part of their response:
"As to the healing, we're being guided
to continue with the process of first identifying
as Body
and then finding the energy of the triggered feeling
in the chakra system. "
I'm sorry, but just as I can't meditate,
I can't feel any chakra,
though I tried to learn both "methods" for a long time (1978-1984)
but the following advice does resonate
with me:
"Dropping out of the
'story' in the mind that has triggered the feeling,
j u s t b r e a t h e s p a c
e i n a n d a r o u n d t
h e e n e r g y o f t he f e e l i n
g i n t h e
p l a c e i n B o d y w h e r e
y o u f i n d i t. "
I'll do this today again and again, while "palming" my eyes (see
song, story and info),
perhaps "The Folks" will tell me directly, what they have to say
to this dire "issue"?
Later:
I seem to feel "it" in my throat:
"it" - being the terror of not pleasing someone on whom I deem myself
dependent,
be it mother, husband, teacher or a politician who "could help me with
my vision.".
In that moment I heard the pigeons from outside, which at this season keep
cooing.
The German word "gurren" with the double "r" in the throat,
is making this very real.
Later - 13:19
As usual, when I decide to listen to what You have to say to an "issue",
I find ever so many things "to do", so as to escape talking with
YOU,
like continuing to prepare my veranda for someone
who might 'live under my wings'.
But now, 40 minutes before the last chance to go to the
pool, I'll write blindly:
I
see you smiling, since you see me postponing listening to you for yet
another minute! But you know the reason for this: I always suspect, that it's not really YOU, whom I'm hearing, but myself. "But I am You!" "If you focus on your desire to hear yourself
through ME, So now tell me, how should I cope with the evil of incest. "First of all, you should express your
grate-full-ness again and again "Second, denying sexual abuse, "So, if this horrid denial of at least
five thousand years is now exposed, So far, I am with you, and I am eager to detect
and strengthen these signs. "But you do understand, what makes a victim
collaborate But – I scream at you – what about
small children? Scream at me and feel all that pain in your
throat. I don't believe you "You don't believe me? I bow my head. |
Moreover,
if we say, that the only place to heal anything in the world, - and first and foremost this most abhorrent denial called sexual abuse - both during the collaboration and afterwards through the not talking, - is in yourself, then the link parent- child is just a demonstration of what happens between you and all people, since you are a hologram of all. The fact, that you let yourself be abused so often in your life,, [and above you mentioned only the most severe incidents...], can be understood from two perspectives: You perpetuated the perpetration by your personal collaboration. but also: you, since you came to heal yourself and by extension all Creation, staged these humiliating, shaming, disempowering scenes n your life, in order to understand what "creation" is like – still. Remember, that at the age of fourteen you said to that priest, to whom you felt able to confess that "rape" at ten [for you it was rape, though you could get away before penetration -] "it happened to me, so I would never judge anybody else". But all this doesn't explain why there is this
raping everywhere, First of all, there was also Clinton, not
a Jew, remember? The Channelers tried to explain to you
[in Godchannel>.pain2],
This is, what I'll help you to do, No. I'll at least trie to do that: thank you! Amen =I trust that it will be! |

CELEBRATING the PEOPLE who CELEBRATE what IS
RIGHT with the WORLD
|
I
told, with what enthusiasm I learnt about the website: Khadashot tovot: Good News [see on May 12, 2011]. I translate, what they try to convey about their dream: "Good News intends to change the habits of information consumption. We see a lack of balance between negative and positve news . We believe that this lack of balance does not result from an "inevitable reality" but from a paradigm, which is rooted in our world, this paradigm creates a dynamic in which the deliverers of communication produce a communication which is unbalanced, and the consumers of communication demand communication which is not balanced. This site collects and creates only positive content, in order to change the existing lack of balance and to provide its readers with the delight in the good that happens in our world. Sagee Na'imi, born 1979, B.A. in economy and administration, studies towards an M.A. in business administration. El'ad Na'imi, born 1984, sound-engineer, music & media So far, the team that creates "GoodNews" exists of only two brothers, "who believe that it's possible to change the habit s of information consumption" but that they are brothers, who co-create, (not Cain & Abel , not Jacob & Esau, not Josef & his brothers), this is very, very, very good news in itself! |
When
linking to Leah's book, I discovered:
Gary Vay*ner*chuk: The Thank You Economy a 33-year-old self-trained wine and social media expert who has revolutionized the wine industry - "we are on the verge of a thankyou economy" " The Thank You Economy is much more than saying "thank you.” The Thank You Economy represents a ...movement... The Humanization of Business or Manners Marketing. I feel that we're living through
the biggest culture shift of our time. The internet, itself, is 17-years-old.
It's just hitting the social part of its life. It's just like growing
up. As you get to 13, 14 and 15, you want to go out and go to parties.
That's what's happening right now! |
“How long the road is. But, for all the time the journey has taken, how I have needed every second of it in order to learn what the road passes by!” Dag Hammarskjöld CELEBRATE WHAT'S RIGHT WITH THE WORLD Each
week I post a photograph It is my hope that, in some
small way, |
It was
this photographer
Dewitt Jones from whom -on 2010_01_10- I adopted the most exact, correct direction for my living in grate-full-ness. See my intro of 2007 to InteGRATion into GRATE-FULL-ness! See on each day in K.i.s.s.-Log from Jan. 8 till Dec. 31, 2008, my double hodayah = thanksgiving ! The info about this prophet of gratitude came to me from the practioners of GO GRATITUDE [see how often I quote them] e.g. "The Wave of Gratitude", since Sept.8, 2010 It is what Masaru Emoto epitomizes in the chemical formula of water: H 2 O, 2 parts of gratitude + 1 part of love |
|
Later on this
day, May 26, 2011, 5 PM "Of course", a coincidence was supposed to happen: Stacey Robins from "Go Gratitude" sent a message, in which she told about a ceremony, broadcast across the entire planet. "Oprah Winfrey took the stage to say farewell and wrap up her 25 year tell-a-vision [television] program. .....I ....marvel at Oprah's ability to
Witness and Appreciate others. So after 25 years, what did Oprah
Winfrey say
|
Not wealth, fame, or accolades. G R A T I T U D E [see, where I found Oprah on Healing-K.i.s.s.: in "Heaven-on-Earth or GRATeFULLness" ! open "Firing the Grid" and put "Oprah" in Ctrl/F] |
Of course, some might say However, Gratitude is the root CAUSE
Oprah is living proof Gratitude
works. |
And if
this was not enough, at 6 PM my e-mail shows Qwiki of the Day - May 26 [video] The last episode of "The Oprah Winfrey Show" aired yesterday morning with no guests and no giveaways. Oprah spent the last hour relating a personal message to her audience about how much the show has meant to her. Learn more about the amazing woman who dominated daytime television for 25 years... |
In this and in another
related video in Qwiki about Oprah Winfry I encounter so much truly "awe-some" info about this woman, who some deem to be "the most influentual woman of the world", once the richest Afro-American woman, and the greatest black philanthropist in American History, that I can only advise you to take in these 2 videos yourselves, remembering all the while, that "gratitude" is the C A U S E of a joy-filled life, not its effect! |
Still on May 26, 2011, 9 PM I almost never watch the end of the news in the Israeli Channel 2. But tonight, since I felt complete and whole with my day's work, I closed my local website and every other program except G-mail and leaned back on my bed and opened TV > 3SAT? no! >Ch. 2 ? I see: a report about Oprah Winfrey, and in it this scene: Oprah: "Here you see fifty men, each with a photo of himself, that shows him at the age of having been sexually abused." I saw the 50 men and I returned to my sculpture of yesterday.... So, for what am I grate-full now? FOR THE END OF DENIAL! |

her exam]
GoodNews from Israel on May 27, 2011:
A thousand hearing

I only now discovered, that there is an American
Good News Network, watch the video with the woman who founded it already
14 years ago!
The following sculpture has little to do with "nourishment from others".
Its very creation with all the "past" pages, which I was guided
to open,
has the purpose to nourish myself, so I'll find my way and my strength.
The drama
began in Oct. 2004 and became more intense in
Nov. 2004.
See also one
page about ONE family!
While my heart is squeezed with fear, ever since a new
assignment hovers above me:
rescuing my child-angel
Hathra from her drowning swamp in the Zealots' valley ["Biq'ah"]
and prepare her for fulfilling her dream since the age of 12, to become a
radio moderator,
I am, at least, creating the physical possibility for her to live with me
in my one-room flat.
[This is the smallest of all dreads connected with this "idea",
but I enjoy the new beauty!]
Years ago my daughter-in-love
bequeathed a huge new linen cloth to me. I now cut it in half and painted
on the pieces with gouache-colors.
The mattrasses on my veranda had covers with desert-themes, but they are faded
and torn, therefore - towards Hathra... - I made new ones.
See
the poor veranda, when I started to "settle" in Dec. 2004.
and see
it with the desert-covers in June 2006
I rearranged my veranda's "furniture",which
includes my wrapped up pyramidal tent still not set up behind Yahia's home
in the Zealots' Valley...
I placed the computer-desk next to the electrical socket in the wall, so Hathra
will be more protected with computer and hopefully Internet...
[This desk, which my landlord had let rot in the
garden, I had brought to the veranda already half a year ago, "in case
somebody will want to live with me"]
The chair can be turned around, so that it faces two other seats: the old
Berlin knee-stool, neighbor
Zwi's chair and a tiny table, retrieved from street-junk.
But, of course, if Hathra's family, or other visitors, should come to visit,
there will be plenty of room on the mattrasses (though
they are a bit too soft...)!
[See
on July 9, 2011, when the new arrangement did not stand the test of my children!]
Two images [Dec.
2009 and - probably - winter
2004-05] may tell the story, yes the drama,

brother and younger siblings, and not only for the 17 extended families
