[This was written this morning from my gut, and can be relevant for many people from many nations or tribes. Identify your tribalism, and read on]

Israel is an abused collective, in a state of perpetuated generational ancestral trauma, topped up with constant fresh trauma, sustaining a routine state of fear, which sparks shame, divide, hatred and revenge, leading to a constant state of war. Internal and external. Spiritual and physical.

Humans who are able to break out of this matrix can see it.

I don’t care if my view is popular or not.

The only way to bring about change is to engage in personal trauma healing, to break down, to experience an ego death, to allow oneself to be in the void, in the unknown, unfamiliar, unsafe. From that void, a new kind of visceral knowingness is born: a knowingness that you are your own source of power, you are the divine. From that knowingness - humbleness is born, and a new space can unfold, making way for inner peace, compassion and love. Making way for a new, ascended consciousness that embraces the true essence of who you are.

If we won’t be the ones acknowledging this, finding the courage to say: “this generational trauma, this pain, this victimhood - it stops with me, and my kids” then we won’t be able to change.

I stand here declaring - this stops with me. Not on my watch.

I don’t have to carry the conformity, the compliance, what I am conditioned and expected to carry.

I humbly drop this weight, and choose a new armor: the vulnerable armor of truth, freedom & love.

I speak from a place of privilege because I didn’t grow up in a culture that suffered from generational trauma, but I can only imagine that such a cycle can be broken if individuals take responsibility and step out of the victor-victim-savior trap. It almost certainly would need an ego death experience to do that

Yes it requires IMHO to lower the guards, take responsibility and accountability and seeing yourself at the source of your life.

It takes work, and facing some hard truths, and most people can’t do it / won’t do it - it is very hard and their souls choose not to. I have compassion, yet it’s not easy to witness the tribalism. Thx for your support.

Last time that region wholeheartedly embraced elements of Buddhist teachings was two thousand years ago.

Apparently it did last only for a few generations until people with hats took their power back.

Think about the creation of better fail safe systems this time 💕

With respect, until Israel's neighbouring countries stop trying to annihilate it, then it cannot as a nation do what you are suggesting.

Much of what you have said resonates with me.

I believe that we each create our own matrix with the help of the conditioning we receive upon our arrival. That conditioning is wildly different for each of us but there are some common themes in our constructed matrixes.

I think shedding the mindset of both judge & victim are important in realising power over our experience here. Recognising that we each chose to have this experience & choose all our experiences (consciously or otherwise) is important. Responsibility & freedom go hand in hand.

Thank you for expressing your authentic self Efrat. While we can't force people to accept any of this, it is helpful for them to be exposed to it. At the root of all the trauma is the illusion of seperation.

Actually you are right. It doesn't have to be science-fiction-matrix like in the movie.

It's a matrix of invented norms and identities. We are all just human.

No nation has existed since the beginning of time. Neither jews, nor arabs, russians, greeks, macedonians, muslims, christians nor any other religion or nation.

It's all a human invented matrix that somehow historically evolved, but we should get out of it, if we want to stop killing ourselves. That's at least how I'm looking at it.

Very nice written 🙏. I agree and I think we almost all carry generational trauma in some form and it will be good to choose to let it stop with ourselves.

Thanks for this reminder 😊.
