Traveling through the land of Peru has left me with many profound memories of experience that return to haunt me. The one that confronts me daily, is triggered every time I get into a vehicle and start the engine. It is then that I see the sad face of a young Peruvian woman, who is dealing with the trauma of watching an oil company destroy her traditional way of life and native homeland. http://ww4report.com/node/7917

I remember asking her, "what can I do to help relieve her pain and the suffering of her people?" She tells me that she is aware of how dependent our northern society is on oil, but it would help if I could please try and reduce the amount of oil that I use and to ask others to do the same. She then leaves me with a simple request. Every time you get into your car for a drive, remember her and the people of Peru who are dieing from the pollution created by the oil companies.

The invasive action by a big oil company was initiated when the Peruvian government was convinced that the treaties which established native rights over the traditional lands of habitation did not include any resources under that ground. Putting pen to paper, and corporate money to pocket, the Peruvian government opened the door to exploration. The natives responded by blockading any road development into their lands. This resistance effort resulted with natives being beaten and killed by police, but the blockade was maintained. To circumvent this confrontation the oil company dispatched helicopter crews to drop into a potential drill sites. This effort was countered with deployment of natives into the remote areas to drive the invaders out.

Realizing that these efforts to establish a work base within the jungle were not achieving their goal, the oil companies move forward with their most effective weapon; money, drugs, and stationary. http://ww4report.com/node/10323

Their tactic was old and simple, divided and conquer. They took their suit cases of cash to the village tribal leaders and offered more if they would sign a paper granting them access to their lands.

Some of these tribal leaders accepted the bribe and convinced others to join in the effort to improve their lives with jobs that could provide them with modern conveniences and more stuff. Other leaders maintained their resolve to not give in to the false promises. The end result of the oil companies efforts to divide the people was achieved. It was not long before many young men left the jungle villages to work for the oil companies. The natives that had lived for thousands of years within their self sustaining environment that was dependent upon them working together for the benefit of everyone was split. On a social scale, they became normalized, joining our society to become infected with our most common and predominate mental disease, schizophrenia.

Many of us have been awakened to the need to heal ourselves of this affliction. We are on the dawn of creating a new world of wholeness, balance, and love. We are engaged in some form of therapy to mend our separation between thought and emotion, body and spirit, to dissolve our delusions, and change our bizarre anti-life behavior that identifies us as insane in the eyes of our indigenous friends in Peru and around the world.

What do you think of when you start your car?

Be well, be wise,
