The Beauty of Diversity.

I grew up always enjoying that there were people of other colors.  My background would be considered “white” as my Mom’s heritage was a Russian Jew Father, German Jew Mom, and my Dad’s heritage was English/Irish/German. My Mom had experienced discrimination and my Dad’s dad wasn’t excited about him marrying a Jew.  My Dad’s sister married a Japanese man in the 50’s, so that challenged my Grandfather, too.  But my family mostly seemed to not differentiate between races.  The small town I grew up in seemed to be divided though between north of the tracks and south of the tracks.  We had some Latino migrant children in my elementary school and they were treated poorly by some of the other students.  That behavior just never made any sense to me.  I was always sticking up for them and asking for more understanding from others.

Over the years my activism grew.  If you’ve read any of my other posts you’ll know that I was always very different, at least inside. I tried to fit in and played in my neighborhood like the rest of the kids, but with my experiences since age 3 of remembering past lives of torture and horrible deaths because of working to shut down the dark, knowing my mission this life time and my many spiritual experiences, I just couldn’t share this stuff with anyone. When I did, I was labeled crazy. I went through my own discrimination experience when a club against me was started at the beginning of my 5th grade experience and lasted the entire year, with no students in class talking to me.  But my experience, although extremely damaging and painful, was quite minor compared to what people of color experience every day, in all aspects of their lives.

Just like these flowers though, even though they are different than flowers I’ve seen in the past, they are each unique in their beauty, their fragrance, the light they bring to the world. 

Each deserves to be cared for, tended, protected, and nourished so they can grow to their potential, enjoy a full season of life, and in that way, they thrive and share all their beauty with all who see them.

Shouldn’t every human have those same opportunities?  Shouldn’t every human have a place where they are safe, honored, respected, just the same as all other humans?  Shouldn’t they be able to live their seasons of life safely, fully and completely without it being cut short?

The sun shines on all these flowers, even though they aren’t a rose, a daisy, a pansy, or an orchid.  The rains come or the watering can to feed and nourish them the same as a lily or gardenia. They are tended, cared for, viewed for their beauty even though they are different. They were chosen for these gardens for their difference, for the diversity.

How wonderful it would be if all humans were treated the same – held in honor for their difference… Blacks, Latinos, Asian, Native Americans, appreciated for their uniqueness…..valued for their humanity, just as Whites, all part of the human race.  Just as these flowers are all a part of nature labeled blossoms.  Some prefer more sun than others, some thrive in other climates than others, and some prefer more water than others. But they are all flowers. They are all beautiful. They are all special.

I’m looking forward to the new timeline of Oneness and Abundance, where we all recognize we ARE all One.  There is more that unites us rather than divides us.  A timeline where we recover our Oneness with Source and all the power, capabilities, and gifts that includes.  A timeline where we accept our stewardship of this beautiful planet while we welcome other civilizations from other planets and universes that although they might look differently than us, might have different views, skills, and knowledge, we recognize the spark of divinity in all, thus see them as One, too.  A timeline where abundance, safety, respect, a home, clean water, electricity and all needs are taken care of for all.

My life and work are dedicated to this. May we soon see this realized in the physical.  I’m sending on much love and appreciation to you all. Thanks for reading, commenting, liking, sharing, following and sharing this journey of life with me.

Love, katelon

Happy Mother’s Day! A Hug for You!

Photo by Katelon T Jefferys.  A wild flower with petals around a close by bush branch, hugging it.

Happy Mother’s Day! I read yesterday that Mother’s Day in the US was actually started by a group of women who had lost children in the Civil War.  They realized that wars are never the answer as they leave children dead on all sides. So they started this movement to end all wars, and commemorated this on Mother’s Day.

I can understand their motivation and it still is valid to this day, not only in regards to wars but also to all those children lost to violence due to racism from all sides,  and those children lost to violence due to discrimination of all kinds.  I’ve dedicated my lives to doing the work I do to end ALL the dark agendas that bring harm to us all and to our Mother Earth.

So today I am sending love and well wishes to all Mothers, whether you are a Mother of human children, animals, and/or plants, and to those Fathers who are Mother/Father to children, raising them alone. I am sending love and well wishes and gratitude to the Divine Feminine in us all that nurtures, and urges us to tend and care for others and all life.

May we soon be free of the dark that binds and controls us and move onto a timeline of Oneness that honors all, that imbues us with the experience of our Oneness so that harm does not come to anyone, nor to the planet anymore.

Much love to you all!  And much love to my Mom and Grandmother in Spirit!

My Wish for You, My Single Friend…

Ok…this is better! I wanted to share this post as I related to it so much, not only for single people but ALL people. Learning to truly love and honor ourselves is perhaps the deepest lesson of being human, and I feel is important for all relationships.

I’m looking forward to the shifts coming to this planet that will have each of us owning and knowing our inherent beauty, worth, deservingness of love and respect. From this knowing, it will flow out to honoring all others and the planet and finally bring peace and cooperation across the world.

200 + Followers…yay!!!!

Word press just let me know that I now have over 200 followers!  I can’t tell you how much this means to me.

As I’ve mentioned before, I spent much of my life hiding who I really am, leading to deep depressions and suicidal feelings.  I grew up so judged by my peers in my small home town and seemed to face that judgement and rejection many of the places I lived.  So I started this blog to come out of the closet as a left wing, way left wing political and social activist and deeply metaphysical/spiritual person, not wanting to hide anymore but to share my deepest thoughts, feelings, desires and dreams with whoever chose to read my words. Even if no one had wanted to read my words, I needed to share them for me, for my own healing and welfare.

So to end up with 200+ followers is amazing to me. That you all want to read what I share, is such a gift.

And then….a bigger gift I hadn’t planned on is the relationships I would build along the way.  I came from a small family to begin with and my birth family is all gone.  I’m single as well.  So it has meant a lot to me to get to know many of you and share your lives, your dreams, your desires, your successes, your challenges.  Thank you so much for letting me into your lives!

I hope you will continue to enjoy my blog and all I choose to share with you, as I enjoy your posts as well.

WARM BODIES – Trailer – YouTube.

I just saw this movie last night and loved it! I found it funny, insightful, tender and thought provoking. I’d never seen a zombie film before although while being a participant in a stage hypnosis at one of my hypnosis meetings, I won best zombie walker 🙂

I was telling my friend about this movie today, talking about the plot that centers around a young male zombie falling for a human young woman and it bringing him back to life. She remarked that she didn’t like the message that so many Hollywood movies give us that leads us to believe that we can “fix” someone we care for, “change” them, thus leading us into unhealthy relationships. I understood, as I, too, have found myself in that unhealthy relationship pattern in the past.

But this movie wasn’t telling that tale. To me, the message of the film was that the fearless act of the young male zombie reaching past his limitations, conditioning and circumstances, to love and protect a human woman, rather than eat her, not only transformed him but it transferred to the entire zombie population.

(The movie description and the trailer allude to this, so I’m not spoiling the film for you)

I feel that this is the process we are in right now, to rise above our conditioning, our habits, our limiting beliefs, reach out to others and in that act, we are raising up humanity. Much has been said about the 100th Monkey phenomena, whereby once 100 monkeys on an island learned something new, monkeys on other islands started doing that action as well. When enough of us reach past our fears, open our hearts and minds, to connect with another, it begins to break that wall down for all of humanity.

I believe that it will bring us all back to love, back to the light, back to our divinity, back to our true natures.

I watched this movie the other night and really enjoyed it. The movie is about a Father who comes out as gay, after his wife of 40+ years dies; his relationship with his son; and his son’s attempt to successfully stay in a long term relationship. They are both beginners on their different paths for romantic relationships. But love is the same, no matter what the gender combination. The movie was magical, tender, touching, sad, and very honest.

I feel that in many ways, we are all beginners now. As we learn to shed all the ways we have been taught to believe about ourselves and the world, we are embarking on new territory. We have learned to believe in many institutions, history, and our path as humans through lies. Now that more and more of these lies are being exposed, now that we are waking up to the truth of who we really are and of what we are capable, we are stepping off one path and onto another.

We have left that old “house”, and we are in the process of drawing up the blueprints for our new one. In the meantime, we are on the sidewalk with all the possessions we have chosen to keep, after discarding many of the ones we are leaving behind..the ones that don’t fit anymore. Some of these “possessions” we have easily and gladly shed, while others had to be stripped out of our hands.

These times are uncertain and yet exciting! Let’s enjoy them as best we can and leap with faith and imagination as we create the new!
