Pearl Harbor

[Guest guest]

Have those of you in America seen "Pearl Harbor" the movie lately?

 

Those actors- the main couple in the movie, those were my parents. Both

Navy people. Their lives were one way before that day, and after that

day, it was all different. I was born from a union of pain and "taking

care" simply because of that horrific day. My mother at that age even

looked alot like the main actress. My father was an officer on one of

the ships in the harbor.

 

At 6:30 they were eating breakfast. By 7:30 everybody was dead.

Inbetween, he watched Mistubishi Zeros zip back and forth dropping death

on everyone he knew. He did the whole rest of the war as a needed

officer on a very needed ship. He came home damaged goods. My mother

took "care" of him by marrying him and having kids for Jesus. But he had

to be put away in a mental hospital eventually. Raising us 11 kids

alone, she was broke, and disturbed, all her life. She had essentially

an incredibly difficult and bitter life.

 

I just got a call last night that she's took a turn for the worse. It

seems to be the end. The Pearl Harbor parents, are gradually becoming no

more. It's the end of the days of those who fought WWII, it's the end of

an era of great pain. Last night I watched a documentary about the other

side, the German side of the war. So much pain. Unbelievable.

 

The pain and trauma, and all it's results, were so complete and total.

You have to understand the nature of "total irreversible dharma" that

she carried to not abandon this man. It's in the movie in a way. The

bindings of karma and caring are pretty total sometimes, in some lives.

That generation was affected by very heavy world events. Same on the

European/Holocaust side. The bindings of identity and commitment after

the war were total. The State of Israel for example, has some pretty

intense memories and feelings driving it's existence.

 

In the aftermath of this we discuss. The effects of these wars are still

with us. Many of the borders and other realities around us are created

by these matters. I know for myself, growing up in that family is part

of what made me aware that I just wanted to spread spiritual awareness

and PEACE ON EARTH.

 

Just processing out the pain. Thanks for listening.
