Lastly, I will talk to you about collective LOVE. The true reason you are on this journey. We can take drugs, blame our parents, go to war, be in and out of institutions, or blame God but mental illness is never going to subside in our society until we understand why we are here. What is our highest potential, our mission? Where do we start to learn this? Start teaching the “spirit of our tomorrows,” to our children and their children. Teach them that indeed they are enough. The smile on their faces each day will move the stars in alignment—it will move the tanks out of the way—it will move the God in them to be better co creators with the universe. Love is not physical; it is not about needs being met. It’s loving ourselves with our flaws, defects, courage, strength, and so much more. It is about healing the inside as well as the outside. The mind, body, and spirit. It is being healthy enough that we attract a healthy mate. It is only in this way that we confront and comfort each other’s needs instead of demanding they be met. Love is not a personal need; it is meeting each other personally in a loving embrace. Madness and Addiction can be healed, controlled with medication, support groups, and acceptance, but my belief is that more than any of these is Love. You can see as many doctors as you need, you can take as many drugs as you desire, but unless you are in love with self and a power greater than you, it is impossible to feel love for or from others. Once you commit to yourself and your esteem with the power of spirit only then can true healing begin.
