I have heard it said that such a thing exists as QUANTUM HEALING. I am not going to bother searching around online for all kinds of information about this miracle. I believe it exists, and I believe we can all access it. I also believe I am smack in the middle of such a process now.
Perhaps because it is in my nature to force positive change when I think I need it within myself, and perhaps especially now at this point in my life where I literally feel I have an important job and mission to accomplish that can contribute something good and useful to understanding what severe infant-child abuse looks like – from within and from without – and perhaps because I also personally feel I am under a time pressure to outrun the cancer that has visited my body so that I can complete this job before I ‘move on’ from this world — I do not wish to ‘mamby-pamby’ my way through or around any obstacle that appears in my pathway.
I am blessed with the resources that I need at this point in my life that help me not to get sidetracked, bogged down or waylaid in my efforts. I just spoke to my ONLY real friend in town here about the work I am doing (she has known the entire process). She wisely suggested that I ask my daughter to do the telephone interview about my mother with JV, my mother’s long-term Alaskan friend. I am too emotionally involved, and too emotional.
As I spoke with my friend about the kinds of ‘things’ about my mother that JV has to tell, I suffered through wave after wave of ‘goosebump attacks’. I also dissolved into sorrowful tears. The recognition and experience of the deep, deep sorrow and sadness happens because I profoundly recognize what a terrible, terrible tragedy this story truly is that I am ‘in line’ for telling.
It is, however, my nearly unending sadness over the suffering of my mother that prevents me from wanting to complete this upcoming interview with my mother’s friend. It is the suffering of my mother that will interfere with my ability to allow JV to say what she needs to tell me. As my friend pointed out today, if I ever once ‘fell into’ the tears that I did today as I talked to her while I talked with JV next Saturday, she has no doubt that JV will not wish to continue to tell me the truths that she knows about my mother.
The wise solution presented this morning by my friend would allow my very compassionate, intelligent, invested but objective, extremely fast typing, sensitive daughter to complete this telephone interview with JV. I will ask my daughter this evening, find out her response, and then call JV and ask for her permission to do ‘things’ this brilliantly safe and effective way.

So, given this presenting obstacle, the ‘rules’ of quantum healing dictate that a better alternative exists. It is my job to utilize my resources to find exactly where these obstacles are, and to find more resources to find my way around them.
I have also come to realize that when we consider the quality and nature of the darkness that can infiltrate a human beings body-brain-mind-self — an my mother was infiltrated by this darkness through trauma as a developing infant-child — it could be said that conditions DO exist in the world involving the potential for harm that seem beyond where any ‘rational’ human can pursue, follow, explore or ‘know’. The degree of infant-child abuse that my mother was perfectly capable of perpetrating falls within this sphere and realm.
After the dream I had a few days ago that clearly alerted me of the powers of spiritual assistance, protection, guidance and healing that do exist right along with the darkness, I am experiencing my journey of working with my mother’s story for publication differently.
There is a saying, “Going where angels fear to tread.” Only through the appearance of this dream I wrote about a few days ago did I gain a very real understanding (and again, I am not Catholic) that the archangel Michael, or St. Michael – San Miguel — exists, and that he is not afraid of ANYTHING on this earth. There is no darkness, no realm of horror or of human deprivation and suffering that can possibly prevent this angel from assisting people to understand and to heal from.
In addition, the ‘guardians of the gates’, or Cherubs – Cherubim that were also referenced in my dream are also allies for this good work of trying to understand the powerful, and yes dark, roots of trauma, abuse, neglect and malevolent treatment of infants and children that can lead to deeply disturbing changes in development that can create infant-child abusing people like my mother was.
In my own very human way this entire ‘job’ or ‘mission’ that I am pursuing is big, big, big, bigger than I am. The fact that I cry from the center of my soul for the pain and suffering MY MOTHER experienced in her lifetime would be mystifying to me if I did not understand that these pictures are so much bigger than any of us who experience them personally.
My mother did not, for instance, CHOOSE of her own free will to pick up a broom and bash my little girl head and body with it. Something else — call it ‘impulsivity’ or ’emotional dysregulation’ certainly contributed to her thousands of acts of violence. But the picture is SO MUCH BIGGER. It came down the generations — and for a reason. That this ‘reason’ is so difficult to detect within a story of lack of reason doesn’t mean that finding the reason is impossible — or that it isn’t critically important.
In my own process of moving forward I have to accept changes in my course as they present them. Now I see that I have to create a ‘homesteading process’ and a ‘historical homesteading story’ separately from the book that is the chronicle of my mothers disturbed — and very disturbing — madness.
I am preparing myself to recognize this fact, that I cannot create a ‘one volume’ that can accomplish what I hoped it could. At the same time, the expose of my mother’s potential for terrible child abuse is paramount. I have nothing for anyone to sue me for. I will change the names of every ‘character’ my mother writes about to protect the privacy of the innocent (even though, as my last post mentions, I have to walk past my own ‘bitterness’ to do this).
What LINDA wants is not what is important here if what I want is not a part of the bigger picture of the good that come out of my work with my mother’s words. Gaining clarity. That’s what I am after. And because St. Michael is there to fight the war of light against darkness, as a very real spiritual entity (and who am I to argue this fact?), nothing short of my own physical annihilation prior to my completing this task will stop me.
