No Peace in the Hiroshima Peace Park

[Ziggy]

Hello everyone I have not posted in a while because I have been on the move, I have left my great little cabin home in southern Chile and headed into Hiroshima Japan, where I will live, learn and teach for a couple years. I paid a visit to the bomb site and wrote this for a class on Quantum polarity I am teaching on Ophras site and wanted to share it with you.

They say when you are having a nervous breakdown you should do something that is very familiar to you like brushing your teeth. I played my guitar for three hours last night, much of the time I was playing to the owner of the coffee shop and really to my self, trying to find the rightness in my world by doing something familiar to me.

It has been raining everyday since I got here so yesterday when I woke and the sun was shinning I decided I needed to visit the peace park. I wish I could tell you I found peace in the park but I did not. I do not think there is any way I can tell you the feelings I had as I entered the park and looked up at what they call the atom bomb dome, It is one of the few buildings to survive the blast because it was located directly under where the bomb was dropped, they have left it as it was the day it happened, bricks and chard material laying around its perimeter. If you can google it you will see what I am talking about, as I reached the fence surrounding the building and saw the picture of what this entire neighborhood looked like a few days before and then a few days after I had to grab the fence to keep from falling, it was as if 200,000 voices called out to me at one time and I felt a bit like obe wan in star wars when the entire planet was destroyed by the death star. I knew in a second what the fractured heart I saw the day before was showing me. Humanity at its worst and the earth not really understanding how man could be so cruel. I have never felt this kind of despair before in my life time, I was immobilized in the terror I was feeling at that moment and then as if out of nowhere there in a little tree next to the building were 7 or 8 little yellow and green sparrows showed up and started dancing about and I knew the YA YA sisters (this is a group of my students who have been showing up every were I go in the form of little birds) I knew they had come to lift me up and keep me from collapsing completely. I laughed until I cried and then I could not stop the tears of my pain from boiling out of me.

The story told on the board holding the picture was one of a community of artist, dancers, poets and actors that all lived in this area. Many of the theaters and culture centers were located here and in a second it was all gone. No music, no dance, no more performances, lights out.

I have heard the argument many times of how we saved so many lives by ending the war early with this act of barbarism and as I was reading this poster my mind was caring out a conversation of this chain of thought a voice from somewhere in my past said we are sorry it was necessary and I answered please let me kill your mother, father, grandparents, children, wife and then I will say to you I am sorry it was necessary and see how far we go to find healing for your pain. My father, a marine became a pacifist after seeing what I saw in that picture, up close and for real, with the smell and all, I can not express the love and admiration I fell for him.

I could not stay for very long in the park of peace, I did a short healing session but my feelings were so raw that I felt as if a wound had opened up inside of me and it hurt so bad to just be. I saw the heart of Hiroshima and like my heart it had been shattered and cracked deeply. I knew that I must find my humility and respect and I would forever apologies for what had been done to these people. I have learned two words so far Thank You and I am Sorry., for now that is all I have to say.

I love you Ya Ya sisters and without you there I do believe a big part of my heart would have died forever.

As I was leaving there was another plac and it read The spirit of Hiroshima, enduring greif, transcending hatred, pursuing harmony and prosperity and yearning for genuine lasting world peace. I only hope I can find my way back to that feeling as well, think i will brush my teeth and pick up my guitar and play.

Love, Peace and trying to understand stupidity

Little bird so nice to hear from you, I will be teaching Quantum Polarity and using your Chakras to do past life regression work. Part of what lead me here in the first place, feeling a calling to go back home.
Hiroshima has been so good to me so far and I can not wait to see what else is coming. The peace park was a part of a big healing I needed to go through because my father was one of the first to see Hiroshima after the bomb dropped and it changed his and my life forever. Peace to you my dear and I will try to post more about my travels here.

Ziggy my friend...

You are a wonderful example of pro-active creation. Your commitment to truth is apparent in everything you do.
I just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate you and your work.
Peace
Steve

It is nice to hear from you too Ziggy.

I didn't know Japan was your "home". If where we came from makes us feel sad, maybe it is a place we need to make peace with and leave in the past. Healing as you say. Awaken to the place in the present and the new people around you,.. and me too.

God bless your travels.

Steve you honor me with your comments, thank you. I have for the last four years been in search of that truth of witch you speak and just knowing it was as in the story of the alchemist hiding inside me all along has created a new journey in me spreading this new found peace.

Little bird in one of my many past lives I know that Japan was my home as was Chile, Costa Rica and Russia all places I returned to live for several years because I knew there were lessons I needed to find and learn in these places ad in doing so it has helped me to understand this lifetime and my journey now a lot better, I see the path least traveled i the familiar path for me ad in that I have found the most amazing adventure.

Love you all and thanks for being here.

The rain is there to cleans you ...go out in it.

I have prayed much for forgiveness; souls beneath the blast never knew what it was or what it did. It just seemed like the sun was in the wrong place and all was white.

May we learn to Forgive us Divine Mother?

Blessings Ziggy/All

Namaste
