"Remember love. The only hope for any of us is
peace. Violence begets violence. If you want to get peace, you can get it as
soon as you like if we all pull together: Get out there and get peace. Think
peace, live peace, and breathe peace and you'll get it as soon as you like,
Okay "

single "Give Peace a Chance", as quoted in The Beatles :

Another
indication that children will eventually get tired of being conditioned by their parents prejudices and beliefs and fully
surrender to their evolutionary tendency to unite and cooperate with each other
and inspire an older generation, including myself, in this universal movement
towards love, peace and social cooperation ~ which just so happen to be the driving forces
of evolution.

AND
DRUGS GET IN THE WAY OF THIS INTERNAL INTEGRATION PROCESS
Colonel Bart Billings is a military psychologist (retired after 34 years
of military service) who started the first U.S. annual conference on Combat
Stress more than 25 years ago. In all his years of practice with military
and Vets diagnosed "PTSD" he has never once had to prescribe a
mind-altering psychiatric drug and says the term PTSD is not a "mental
illness" but simply a normal reaction to an abnormal event, or
circumstances (combat/war) and that drugging our troops is not the solution.
Once you medicate, you all but terminate true integrative healing. Billings says that from 2005 to 2011, there has been a 700% increase in
the use of medication in the service with a corresponding increase in suicides.
Here's a recent video of Billings published on February 10, 2014. Eight
minute YouTube video ~ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F02HElsg8uI&list=PL79E9D68C92C00DAC&index=17
A new SFVA study
strongly suggests that soldiers who experience killing experiences are twice as
likely to attempt suicide ~ which strongly supports the reality of soul damage
as a contributing factor for the rising rate of veteran’s suicide as well as
the obvious need for a proven heart centered approach toward veteran
rehabilitation. And get this, the Defense
Department have found that pilots of drone aircraft, experiencing killing
experiences, also experience mental health problems like depression, anxiety
and post-traumatic stress disorder at the same rate as pilots of manned
aircraft.
This important April
13, 2012 research study abstract was entitled ~ KILLING
IN COMBAT MAY BE INDEPENDENTLY ASSOCIATED WITH SUICIDAL IDEATION ~ and the SFVA released the following
abstract:
BACKGROUND:
The United States military has lost more troops to suicide than to combat for the second year in a row and better understanding combat-related risk factors for suicide is critical. We examined the association of killing and suicide among war veterans after accounting for PTSD, depression, and substance use disorders.
The United States military has lost more troops to suicide than to combat for the second year in a row and better understanding combat-related risk factors for suicide is critical. We examined the association of killing and suicide among war veterans after accounting for PTSD, depression, and substance use disorders.
METHODS:
We utilized a cross-sectional, retrospective, nationally representative sample of Vietnam veterans from the National Vietnam Veterans Readjustment Study (NVVRS). In order to perform a more in depth analysis, we utilized a subsample of these data, the NVVRS Clinical Interview Sample (CIS), which is representative of 1.3 million veterans who were eligible for the clinical interview by virtue of living in proximity to an interview site, located within 28 standard metropolitan regions throughout the United States.

RESULTS:
Veterans who had higher killing experiences had twice the odds of suicidal ideation, compared to those with lower or no killing experiences, and substance use disorders were each associated with higher odds of suicidal ideation. Endorsement of suicide attempts was most strongly associated with PTSD.

CONCLUSIONS:
Killing experiences are not routinely examined when assessing suicide risk. Our findings have important implications for conducting suicide risk assessments in veterans of war. See Report:

These findings offer
even more justification for heart centered workshops for combat veterans as
well as other heart centered counseling. We’re talking about soul damage here and
only a heart centered intervention can effectively treat that psychic
despondency ~ as I have consistently demonstrated with combat veterans who
have virtually all participated in killing experiences.
I have long felt and
have now proved that PTSD is quite often Post Traumatic Heart Disorder for a
common symptom of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder is the inability to give or
receive love ~ which can obviously apply to non-veterans who have also
suffered significant loss
You don’t need to see
a therapist to understand this phenomenon, you don’t need to attend a workshop
to see this magic in action ~ all you need to do is see and understand your
life as a quest, versus a struggle, to realize that not only are we all loved
but that we are all part of a loving plan in action and gratefulness is the key
to this magic kingdom ~ God only reveals itself to a grateful heart. See my Article on the power of love ~ http://www.veteranstoday.com/2014/02/04/only-love-truly-heals/
We must eventually
learn to dance with our enemies ~ for the Palestinian and Israeli
children are telling us that our innate bonds of love, commonality and
friendship are far greater than our need to destroy
and hurt each other.
