Breaking free from White Supremacy : Tony McAleer and the work of The Forgiveness Project

The experiences of writer Tony McAleer make interesting reading.. I have just started his book The Cure for Hate : A Former White Supremacist’s Journey from Violent Extremism to Radical Compassion. Interesting to note that Tony’s father was a psychiatrist and that Tony endured beatings at the hands of a particularly violent brother as a young student before he followed a pathway of hate into white supremacy The following link shares some of his story and links to a site The Forgiveness Project which focuses on the power of story, collecting and sharing real stories of transformation in order to help others transform the lived experience of pain and trauma in their own lives.

It is always powerful to read stories of radical transformation and awakening, which bear witness to the fact it is never too late for our wounding to turn into a source not only of healing but also of social action and education.

"The religious naturalist is provisioned with tales of natural emergence that are, to my mind, far more magical than traditional miracles. Emergence is inherent in everything that is alive, allowing our yearning for supernatural miracles to be subsumed by our joy in the countless miracles that surround us." Ursula Goodenough How to describe oneself? People are a mystery and there is so much more to us than just our particular experiences or occupations. I could write down a list of attributes and they still might not paint a complete picture pf Deborah Louise and in any case it would not be the full truth of me. I would say that my purpose here on Wordpress is to express some of my random experiences, thoughts and feelings, to share about my particular journey and explore some subjects dear to my heart, such as emotional recovery, healing and astrology while posting up some of the prose/poems which are an outgrowth of my labours with life, love and relationships. If anything I write touches you I would be so pleased to hear for the purpose of reaching out and expressung ourselves is hopefully to connect with each other and find where our souls meet.
