Guest guest Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 I guess we go the full spectrum on this one. When I saw him on tv he looked like an average kid to me. Kind of reminded me of a teenager rebelling...tho he took it to a terrible extreme. I work with mental illness, and I felt for this guy. He was crying out for help and it never came. I know that evilness can take control when there is anger and hatred, so that's probably part of it, too. Just a heartbreaking situation all around. Did they all choose to leave this way... ahead of time? Just my two cents.

Guest guest Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 I am in line with your thinking Dhyana. I feel that he may have been abused as a child (in Korea) and it went ignored due to cultural or other reasons. And his shame and anger grew through the years, as he faced a mostly cold and impersonal youth, unable to reach out to others in an appropriate manner. He left a trail of clues to his mental illness, but unfortunately not enough for anyone to take him seriously enough, or for anything of consequence to have been done. What must he have felt inside to want to cause such pain for all of these innocent people, and then to take his own life? It is a tragedy for the entire human family. I had a dream the morning after it happened in which I was hugging him tightly and crying, a very emotional and loving soul hug. He hugged back but his eyes were closed and he seemed so resigned. I suppose I felt he needed the love and comfort every bit as much as those he acted upon. My heart goes out to the victims, their families and friends. May they find peace and comfort within. Love and healing energy to all of them, and to all of us. love & light ~Jen~ , novalees <Novalees wrote: > > I guess we go the full spectrum on this one.

Guest guest Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 Thanks for sharing, Jen. The guy didn't have ANY social skills so he must have been totally isolated. Isolation can do strange things to people, and the physical pain of it is a very deep ache. And, like you said, if there had been abuse there, and damage, then he was unable to know what he really needed let alone how to get it. He didn't know how to connect with others so he destroyed them. The emotional pain that drove him to that must have been severe. That doesn't excuse the act, but it may open eyes to be more sensitive to others and aware of how important a simple act of kindness may be. You may never know the true state of a person in any interaction, and a loving act of caring can pull someone back from the brink sometimes... Despair is a killer, love is a healer. To see love in action gives hope, even to those who are merely looking on. Didn't mean to go on so its just that I've looked into a lot of empty eyes and pain filled eyes...and ached to reel them in. Sometimes I can, sometimes I can't. There are so many. I guess all one can do is watch for opportunities and listen to the inner Spirit to know when and how to act so that it matters. Hug.

Guest guest Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 Jen you bring up valid points about Cho. Not only do I think that his past as a young child has much to do with what he felt or what made him so cold and bitter towards the world, but maybe, just maybe, he did try to overcome it, but no one would listen or wanted to deal with him. Maybe they put themselves higher than him and thought they were too good to be a friend. Maybe he did try to reach out, but no one thought he was worth the time. This anger he felt was that of abandonment and he became resentful. I don't justify his actions in any way, but I feel so much sorrow for him. I only wish I could have known him. Our society today seems to not have time for those in pain and trouble and then when something happens they wonder why that person didn't get help, but they fail to take responsibility. I told my children tonight after the shooting yesterday at the Johnson Space center in Texas that one way to help stop these horrible acts is to love everyone and to try and make time for every one even if you can only spare a couple of minutes, do it because it could make all the difference. Love every one and treat them with love and show them that you do care about them. I told them that that could save one life, maybe not all, but one is better than none. My heart goes out to the victims and their families and to Cho's family and to Mr. Philips' family as well. May God be with all of them. God Bless you all! My love to each of you.

Guest guest Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 Dhyana, thank you for this statement " Despair is a killer, love is a healer " . I am going to teach my kids that, it is something easy to remember. Love, Katherine novalees <Novalees wrote: Thanks for sharing, Jen.

Guest guest Posted April 22, 2007 Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 Cho deserves our forgiveness and acceptance for what has occurred. We are all souls and he is now aware of what has happened. 33 people died and they ALL get a candle in the window from me. - my take on it - chrism Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 22, 2007 Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 God I love your clarity! Thank you, Chrism, for your takes on things. These situations seem to propel me. The last one, with the Amish children, propelled me here. It will be interesting to see where this one takes me.

Guest guest Posted April 22, 2007 Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 Indeed he does. Some even think people who do similar things do them, and sacrifice themselves, to orchestrate spiritual lessons for others. I, certainly, am not in a position to decide these things so simply send love.

Guest guest Posted April 22, 2007 Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 i feel there are no victims. those 33 souls have just graduated this form and will soon enroll in their next class. and it's the same for us all. i have a particular movie inside my head that i call my life. in one of the bonus scenes from this dvd, i'm in a pre-life situation where i meet my fellow actors that are to be cast as my 'friends' or 'nemisis'. it's all very friendly and we each understand that we are only playing a role in a story and that it's not our real self. so no matter how intense our scenes are together, not to take it personally. it's just acting in identification with our particular form or role. in striving to get down to this real self or essence... what are we? love, -steve f Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 Good point Steve. But in my own post, " victims " refers to the wounded who are still here with us. And all those who must deal with the aftermath of what happened. People who don't yet share our understanding of All That Is will have a much harder time dealing with this. love & light ~Jen~ , " deepdance1 " <deepdance1 wrote: > > i feel there are no victims. those 33 souls have just graduated this form and will soon enroll > in their next class. and it's the same for us all. i have a particular movie inside my head that > i call my life. in one of the bonus scenes from this dvd, i'm in a pre-life situation where i > meet my fellow actors that are to be cast as my 'friends' or 'nemisis'. it's all very friendly and > we each understand that we are only playing a role in a story and that it's not our real self. > so no matter how intense our scenes are together, not to take it personally. it's just acting > in identification with our particular form or role. > in striving to get down to this real self or essence... what are we? > love, > -steve f > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 hi jen. thanks for the response. my understanding 'of all that is' is very limited. in my 'blindness' i'm not immune to suffering but i have compassion for their grief. i'm also a bit angry that the establishment did nothing to protect those lives. if i were the president of that university, i'd have trouble sleeping at night for not having decided to close the school for the day after the initial shooting. this lesson has cost us dearly -but will we learn anything from it? love, -steve f Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 I know... it was thought that the earlier shooting was an isolated incident, an error in judgement that I'm sure will haunt many for a long time. The president of the university based his decision on the local authorities' assessment of the situation, so I don't like the blame game. They couldn't have known what was to come, but I agree with you, better to err on the side of caution than to take a chance. I do think much has already been learned from this, and not just by those in authority positions. Personal responsibility is key. My hope is that each and every person will become more aware of those around them, and treat others how they themselves would want to be treated, with love and compassion. love & light ~Jen~ , " deepdance1 " <deepdance1 wrote: > > hi jen. thanks for the response. my understanding 'of all that is' is very limited. in my > 'blindness' i'm not immune to suffering but i have compassion for their grief. i'm also a bit > angry that the establishment did nothing to protect those lives. if i were the president of > that university, i'd have trouble sleeping at night for not having decided to close the school > for the day after the initial shooting. this lesson has cost us dearly -but will we learn > anything from it? > love, > -steve f > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 I am with in the fact that we are all souls just as Cho and that he should be forgiven. Well I do forgive him, but I feel so much for the victims to have to deal this for the rest of their lives, what a tragedy. I saw one of the students being interviewed on the Today Show who was not only on campus during the VT shootings, but was also one of the victims and student of the Columbine Shootings. Talking about De JeVue! I don't really know much about where she was other than the fact that she was there. I feel really sorry for all of the students and hope that God may be with them. I read all of the posts from everyone and we will never understand what happened to Cho! My question though is if it is true that we choose our lives and the lessons to be learned before we come here to earth, why on earth would anyone choose to be a serial murder or rapist or whatever? I just can't see why anyone would choose to do that stuff, how can someone intentionally hurt another human being or any living creature. How can someone coldly look one in the face and shoot to kill that person? I just wish someone could have helped him in some way, maybe his victims would still be here! Anyway, I send loving Blessings to the families of the victims, both deceased and still with us! I dish out prayers for each of them, that God may ease the pain! May God be with all of you! Have a wonderful night.
