HIROSHIMA REMEMBERED AND UNDERSTOOD

The Clock Stopped at Hiroshima

 At precisely 8:15 AM on August 6th, 1945 ~ 200,000 people eventually died from an Atomic Bomb dropped by the United States on Japan and our world permanently changed, for at that moment man had discovered the ultimate means to destroy ourselves but now, 69 years later, we are still learning the intellectual and soul based moral bearings needed to control the fearsome murderous beast we unleashed on Hiroshima and then three days later on Nagasaki. Perhaps now we are ready to fully experience the life sustaining choice of love, social cooperation and altruism which are the innate driving forces of evolution as well as our only choice for the survival of our species: Allen L Roland, Ph.D

 

The day will come, when, after mastering the ether, the winds, the tides, gravity, we shall master the energies of love, for God. And then, for the second time in the history of the world, man will have made fire his servant: Teilhard de Chardin

Last year, I wrote a requiem for the children of Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Vietnam, Afghanistan and now Gaza but today I write a note of warning ~ for the planet can no longer evolve without its moral conscience and bearings. See 2013 article

We as a world society have now reached a decisive point in human evolution where, as Teilhard writes, "the only way forward is in the direction of a common passion, a 'conspiration'. To go on putting our hopes in a social order obtained by external violence would simply mean to abandon all hope of carrying the spirit of earth to its limits."

Teilhard goes on to conclude in his book Human Energy a profound truth that I deeply believe and prove every day in my work as a heart centered transformation consultant ~ "Therefore, despite all checks and all improbabilities, we are inevitably approaching a new age , in which the world will throw off its chains and at last give itself up to the power of its inner affinities ~ Either we must doubt the value of everything around us, or we must utterly believe in the possibility, and I should now add, in the inevitable consequences of universal love."   http://www.archive.org/details/HumanEnergy

It's all about universal love or the innate urge to unite and the key to this Unified Field  of soul consciousness is Gratitude and it begins with ourselves. As the world approaches this point of conspiration ~ we must realize we all have a part in this coming together of mankind and our whole life has essentially been a quest to claim that authentic vocation.

 

My experience for the past 40 years as a heart centered counselor and consultant is that once a person breaks through their inner fears and pain to the joy and delight beneath ~ they begin to sense their authentic vocation within a constantly evolving loving plan and they want to claim their part in it.

 

In other words, as we draw closer to the darkness of destroying ourselves, more and more people feel the urge to claim their divine part in the loving plan as light workers ~ and I find myself increasingly being called to service as a heart centered consultant for people who want to find their authentic heart centered vocation within this loving plan in action.

 

Nuclear doomsday may be close at hand but that only accelerates the inner drive towards the light and I can attest to that in my work as a consultant for heart centered light workers.

The Science and Security Board of the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists operate what they describe as the “doomsday clock”. It is a clock which marks how close mankind is to annihilation as a result of reckless endangerment of the environment such as with global warming or nuclear holocaust. According to the progressive group at the University of Chicago, midnight on the clock marks mankind destroying itself.

 

The doomsday clock is now at 1155 PM ~ and that now includes Climate Change and Global Warming. Our choice is close at hand ~ Do we continue to use force and domination to further separate ourselves from each other in the spirit of war or do we finally surrender to our evolutionary innate urge to unite and cooperate with one another in the spirit of love?

Teilhard sensed this also in 1955 in his book Human Energy ~ " Love one another ~ those words were pronounced two thousand years ago, but today they sound again in our ears in a very different tone. It no longer says only Love one another in order to be perfect but adds Love one another or you perish."

 

My greatest sense of belonging is knowing that I'm a functioning part of a loving plan in action, which also happens to be God, and I'm not only in sync with my destiny but most importantly in service within that loving plan. I also maintain that I was born in 1934 with that inner wisdom and direction and all I had to do was surrender to love and listen to my heart to finally get in sync with my authentic vocation and gift.

Hiroshima must be remembered and understood as a warning and a wakeup call to the planet that it can no longer resist the universal urge to unite or we will surely perish as a species and a life sustaining planet.

REQUIEM FOR THE CHILDREN OF HIROSHIMA, NAGASAKI, VIETNAM, IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN

Hiroshima little Boy with his puppy

On August 6th and 9th 1945 my heart was joined to the children in Hiroshima and Nagasaki whose whole world was shattered in a few seconds by American atomic bombs ( one named Little Boy ) ~ that signaled to the world that the United States now had the capability of destroying countless others instantaneously ~ as we have since done to thousands of innocent children in Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan: Allen L Roland

It was a strange summer day, that humid 6th day of August in 1945, while I was sitting by myself just across the street from my home in Nahant, Massachusetts. I vividly remember the moment ~ I was gazing towards the Atlantic ocean and suddenly I felt a shudder from deep within myself.  It was a momentary sense of a deep collective human loss which at that moment was happening in Hiroshima, Japan.  

Shortly after that I saw my twin brother excitedly running towards me from our home across the street.  He told me that he had just heard on the radio that we had dropped an Atomic bomb on Hiroshima and that thousands had died in the blast. (Actual deaths were 140,000 of which 60% were burned alive) Three days later, like a dagger in humanity's heart, it happened again in Nagasaki. (Actual deaths were 80,000 of which 90% were burned alive ~ It is estimated that out of every 6 deaths in the bombings, 5 were civilians and 1 was military).  See Hiroshima and Nagasaki bomb fact sheet ~ overall death listings which does not include at least 23 American POW'S who were captured Naval aviators being held in Hiroshima and not acknowledged or reported by the U.S. until the late 1970's. http://www.domlife.org/Justice/Disarmament/bombfactsheet.pdf

Little Boy and one of its Japanese victims

I felt very sad for a deep soul connected part of me innately knew the world would never be the same and I also sensed I had felt, at that exact moment in time, the collective loss of thousands of Japanese children, like myself at that time, who were incinerated, maimed and left homeless by these unnecessary barbaric attacks. I also had a profound feeling that something very ominous for humanity had just happened ~ and I was right ! 

We now had the means to completely destroy the human race ~ particularly evidently the yellow and brown races.

Nagasaki on August 9, 1945

The following extraordinary 10 minute you tube video is all in Japanese but English subtitles are not necessary ~ for it fully captures the joy and then terror and utter despair of a young Hiroshima boy and his family on that fateful August day in 1945.

Take some time to watch it this week ~ but also bear in mind the tens of thousands of innocent children who have been killed and maimed in Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan under the same but now badly frayed American imperialistic flag of freedom, liberty and democracy.

Drone attacks are now the preferred American method to kill and maim the innocent without having to shoulder the moral responsibility for these unnecessary deaths. 

And then listen to these angelic children voices as they honor their innocent slain brothers and sisters in Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan ~ as well as Gaza and throughout the world with this profound requiem. ( 3 minute Video )

Rest in peace little children and may God have mercy on your perpetrators.
