May you feel the pain you inflict UPON ANOTHER may you find the joy AND FORGIVENESS in LOVE
We see so many people inflict pain on others, do they do because they are in pain them selves? Do they do for power? Do they do it because they have been taught too? Or are they just cruel people?
I believe if the person inflicting pain upon another felt that PAIN they would not do it again. How could you deliberately inflict pain horror and cruelty if you have know it your self? Yet, we know that people of abuse inflict abuse upon their own, is it patterning? Is it in their DNA? Is it power for them?
THE QUESTION IS HOW DO WE STOP IT.
How do we own it and stop the cycle of pain and hate?
When we see some thing wrong, some cruelty done to any living being, some one causing pain and fear on another, to ignore it is to be the perpetrator, WE CANNOT TURN OUR EYE WE CAN NOT STAND BY AND IGNORE IT, SPEAK OUT SHOUT OUT STAMP OUT.
As an empath I feel the pain in others and some times it is over whelming and crippling, but yet despite the pain which rips me apart, I cannot turn a blind eye, I have to speak out, I have to speak the the problem but I also speak to the solution.
Love and Kindness should be the very foundation of our existence, it should be the very root of our actions, our thoughts, our being. If you are living in a state as a loving being you cannot inflict suffering upon an other with out feeling the pain of it your self.
Let us DECIDE to stop the cruelty stop the viciousness the hateful speech and loathing of our own lives which makes us inflict our pain our discontent upon another.
LET US BE BRAVE ENOUGH TO LET OUR PAIN GO AND HEAL AND STOP PASSING THE PAIN ON.
TUNE IN HERE FOR MORE TALK ON CRUELTY AND HOW WE CAN STOP IT NOW

Their Story Matters with Sara Troy and her guest Kevin Hancock aired August 16-
WE HAVE NO VOICE UNTIL WE LISTEN TO OUR HEART
How a Businessman Lost His Voice and Then Found His Soul on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation… A Lesson in Following Your Heart-However Crazy It May Seem To You and Others.
Kevin Hancock was a highly successful businessman who took over his six-generation, family-owned lumber company that started in 1848, one of the oldest in America – and one of the largest in Maine – and steered it out of the financial strains of the recession. With hundreds of employees statewide, he had a tremendous responsibility on his shoulders. He was also a community leader, devoted husband, family man and coach for his daughters’ sports teams. He was the one who took care of everything and solved problems for everyone. And then, suddenly he lost the consistent and comfortable use of his voice to a relatively rare condition called spasmodic dysphonia.
It became painful and difficult to push words out of his voice box. At nearly the same time, his mother-unbeknownst to him-gifted him a reading by a world renowned evolutionary astrologist. Her words and an article in National Geographic on the Sioux Nation with a photo of a modern day young Native American galloping across the prairie ignited something deep within him. He knew he was called to Indian country, but did not yet know why, but that became apparent in the four trips that he made within a year to the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, and the awakening of his soul. Says Kevin in his remarkable award-winning new book Not For Sale: Finding Center in the Land of Crazy Horse, “Within me lived a powerful impulse to take charge and protect my tribe, whenever it came under duress. I felt a strong pull to save everyone, and I took on all the work that went with that instinct. Worse, I internalized that responsibility to the point where it consumed me in ways I could not see. The price I paid for that approach was that I lost myself to both my role and my local circumstances. I had become consumed in protecting others. I had not yet learned that most everyone is capable of protecting themselves. I had not yet learned to share power. I had not yet learned to serve myself.” It is this and more that he discovers on this mystical and fascinating journey-a vision quest for a visionary. Kevin captivates with his story telling. He shares his growing connection and affection for the long-suffering, but resilient Lakota people-and what they teach him; his increasing awareness of human relationships to land, animals, nature and spirit; and how he unyoked himself from his sole leadership role to create shared responsibility that resulted in record profits for his company and a feature in the NY Times showcasing his new leadership model.
Most of all, he reveals the inner workings of deep seeking that opened his eyes, his heart and his mind. With photographs that touchingly illustrate his journey, provides a realistic look at life on the Rez, and illuminates his growing awareness of interconnectedness, Hancock evokes messages for us all. He shows us a path so beautifully trod by the indigenous Americans that brings us into harmony with ourselves, our spirit and the world around us. Kevin will enlighten your listeners on what he discovered: We all come from a tribe, and while the pull of the past is strong, the soul is here to individuate. Those who hold the power often overreach and go too far, not realizing that leadership in the new Aquarian Age is about doing less, not more. Business is not living, and personal growth lies in looking inward, not outward. The boundaries that have been set to divide people are not real. In the end, we’re all one tribe.
Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest Will Schneider, aired August 2nd-8th
Lucifer’s Game is a tale of intrigue. It takes you on a witty, yet profoundly deep dive into the inner realm of our very humanity. Jackson Trent, spiritual explorer and writer of the popular blog “Snap Out Of It!” (snapoutofitblog.com) has come to Hawai’i to heal his shattered heart. On the beach, he’s approached by a mysterious stranger who turns out to be Lucifer, under the guise of a corpulent, disheveled tourist. Lucifer, (who has his own dubious ‘anti-social media’ advice column LettersToLucifer.com) convinces Jackson to spend the day with him, whereby they delve into a fascinating and provocative exploration between the Light and the Shadow of human consciousness. As the ‘caretaker’ of the Shadow side of our nature, just what is Lucifer really up to here? What’s his game with us?
Will says, “My decades of exploration into mindfulness clarified for me a powerful realization. Our human awareness has the potential to move vertically, up or down. In any given moment, I can be more awake, more present, or conversely, more in a kind of ‘waking sleep.’
That realization rocked my world. If nature left us off in a foggy kind of ‘waking sleep’, how can I snap out of it? So the proverbial ‘moth’ in me began fluttering its wings towards the flame of learning to be more awake. Over time, this quest brought me into various metaphysical schools of consciousness development, which revealed greater knowledge of myself and provided powerful trainings for me in how I could get in touch with, and open to, my true Essential Nature that’s buried under layers of egoic structures.
Having spent much time and energy on my quest towards Spirit, I recognized a pattern in myself and in many others. I had been irresistibly drawn towards the ‘Light of awakening’ but I began to wonder about my darkness—the Shadow side buried within my unconscious. The Shadow; all the unsavory aspects of my nature that I have unknowingly rejected in favor of my overall positive self-image. Like everyone, I had pushed away these unwanted characteristics, pretending that they were not a part of me. They were out of sight and out of mind.
Gradually, I came to understand that this is a pretty weak strategy that we all employ. Our Shadow side may be buried out of sight but it’s not out of our psyche. It may be off the radar but it remains alive and well, , until one day it can emerge from below. The Shadow is filled with our noxious characteristics like Pride, Greed, Anger, Gluttony, Dishonesty, Envy, Lying, Hatred, Manipulation and the list goes on.
I began to see that we ignore our Shadow side at our peril. The character aspects that have been renounced and banished can, and will, rear up and sabotage one’s life. Just look at the various spiritual paths that abound. How many teachers, gurus and so-called ‘masters’ have been co-opted and subverted by having ignored their Shadow? Quite a few. An honest appraisal of society, in general, reveals how riddled our culture is with these ‘Shadowlings’ infiltrating people’s reality and wrecking havoc. Just read a newspaper on any given day.
It was this realization about the Shadow world was my motivation behind writing Lucifer’s Game. I realized it could be intriguing, insightful and fun to imagine a character who actually agrees to spend a day with Lucifer, who in my tale, is simply the Master of the Shadowland. What would they discuss? What would Lucifer’s role be when it comes to the dark side? Just what’s his game with us? Just what’s he up to that would behoove us to get a handle on? I envisioned Lucifer ‘holding the torch for all those rejected Selves’ who live at the bottom of the spiral staircase of our psyche, shown on the cover of Lucifer’s Game.
Will Schneider is a full-time writer living in the wine country of Sonoma County, north of San Francisco. Formerly working in business development, Schneider spent years as the Licensing Director for the world-renown artist, Laurel Burch, as well as a National Sales Manager in the wine industry and high-tech arena.
An adventurer at heart, and naturally drawn to the ‘edge’ of things, his current passion is kayaking along the wild Pacific coast. Will has equally experienced a calling to explore and push the boundaries of his inner world, and has spent decades deeply immersed in the study of various metaphysical traditions. Thirty-five years of deep training from a variety of exceptional spiritual teachings has allowed him to develop a wide-ranging platform of knowledge and understanding regarding the human inner landscape and our potential range of consciousness.
Lucifer’s Game is his first novel. Will is currently writing a sequel to this novel focused on the Shadow world of relationships. He is also preparing workshops and events focused on understanding the Shadow and ‘waking up’ to our Presence.
Their Story Matters with Sara Troy and her guest Catana Tully, aired from July 19th
Dr. Catana Tully’s incredible story shows how an exotic child adopted into a White family learned to overcome painful racial confusion, misplaced identity, poor self-image, and fear of abandonment to lead a meaningful and significant life.
Through the years I was often encouraged to tell the story of my ‘fairy tale’ life. However, not until reaching my late forties, when I became increasingly at odds with myself, did I discover that what seemed magical to others was not necessarily so. Eventually, I discovered issues more important than details of my life I needed to share with a larger audience.
The central theme of my book addresses ethnic misplacement due to having been raised within a culture and among a people different to my own. I have structured the story chronologically to reveal layers of great privilege and simultaneous disinheritance.
Unlike any adoption memoir, in this story the issues of the adopted child surface much later in life. The first obvious market for this book is older exotic children who were adopted into mainstream White culture in the US and Europe where interracial adoptions have become a popular phenomenon. However, the concerns should be of great interest to all parents, or prospective parents of adoptees, older exotic adoptees, and all people of mixed races.
Today the retired college professor is the bestselling author of Split at the Root: A Memoir of Love and Lost Identity. After retiring from her position of tenured college professor, she has dedicated herself to addressing the pressing issues adult exotic adoptees, and parents who have or are planning to adopt interracially, face on a daily basis. She offers words of wisdom and tools to strengthen their impaired images of themselves, their race, their religion, and their culture.
Dr. Catana Tully grew up trilingual (German, Spanish, English) in Guatemala where she attended elementary and middle school. In tenth grade she entered a boarding school in Jamaica, WI and received her Advanced Level Higher Schools Certificate from Cambridge University, England. Expecting to become an international interpreter, she continued her studies at the Sprachen und Dolmetscher Institut in Munich, Germany. However, she was called to work in a play and discovered her affinity for the dramatic arts. She became the actress and fashion model Catana Cayetano and appeared in Film and TV work in Germany, Austria, and Italy. In Munich she met and married the American actor Frederick V. Tully and ultimately moved to the United States. They have a son, Patrick. In Upstate New York, she completed the BA in Cultural Studies, an MA in Latin American and Caribbean Literature, and a DA (doctor of Arts) in Humanistic Studies. She held the position of tenured Associate Professor at SUNY Empire State College, from which she retired in 2003. She returned in 2005 for part time work in ESC’s Center for International Programs, where she served as Mentor and instructor in the Lebanon program, and as Interim Program Director for the Dominican Republic. In 2011 she retired completely to dedicate herself to publishing Split at the Root. She is currently preparing an academic version discussing the psychological issues embedded in the memoir.
