Today I discovered the truly inspiring John Healey aka "the awakened foot soldier"
In a time when so many "foot soldiers" are killed/maimed/traumatized, John Healey holds a vision that he wishes to share with other returning Iraq Veterans. His vision is the creation of a healing place where veterans could come and receive the time and space necessary to recover their spiritual/mental etc health via a variety of services, both cnventional and natural therapies. In his own healing he found that Rolfing (deep muscular alignment) and Reiki were vital in helping him return to him Self, among other things.
I know John isn't the only person wishing that there were better services available to those who have had their spirits altered by their tragic participation in war. May "Supporting Our Troops" lead to the providing of accessible, and caring comprehensive medical and psychological care.
And may Peace prevail in our hearts and minds and on this beautiful planet.
John's story is fascinating and I highly recommend listening to his experience of spiritual awakening that began while he had his finger on the trigger of a gun, pointed at three Iraqi children while he was working a for a private contractor in Iraq in 2004.
As John had his finger on the trigger he had a "Near Death Experience"aka NDE, where he was shown the possible effects/outcomes of his pulling the trigger, as well as being taken back in time to a moment when he had shot someone else and he was shown how that action had spiritually effected both the child he shot and himself. He had a vison of the repercussions of his action and the domino effect it took in both his life and the child's life.. All of this happened in seconds- he was in an expanded state of conscoiusness that unlike most known NDE's, which happen when one is injured or near death. This event changed the course of John's life and he has written a book about all of this.
The world talk radio link below will lead you to John's telling his own story about rising above Duality and Ego into a dimension of non-judgement and all inclusive Beingness.
