Stolen Boy’s Weblog

Since the start of the Jesse James Hollywood trial, needless to say, we have received some amazing letters and notes and comments. Some have been filled with hatred, while others have been amazingly positive and upbeat. Some, such as the one I have attached below, were so thoughtful, I felt the need to sit down, read it thrice, and tap into the many energies and emotions is stirred within. Please read what this amazing woman has asked, and let us know if you think we’re on the right track.

Dear Mr. Mehas,

I am a mother of several children biological and step and I have been reading your web site for quite sometime and I have to say that you are a great writer. But I have a few questions for you. These young men who kill because of something that embarrassed them or upset them in one way or another do you really believe that as they got older that maybe it still wouldn’t have happened? Do you believe that the young man who killed Larry King wouldn’t have killed later in life if a gay man had flirted with him? Do you believe Jesse James Hollywood wouldn’t have killed someone else’s loved one over a drug debt? Do you really believe that these young men no matter the age they were or are at the time of their crime deserve no jail time? I understand that the young man who killed Larry King walked through the school and class rooms to shoot him in the head; some would say that this is premeditated murder because at any time before the shooting he could have stopped and thought about what he was getting ready to do and not have gone through with it. I believe the same applies to Mr. Hollywood, at any given time he could have stopped the kidnapping and the murder of that young man. I also understand that both these young men had a bad childhood, but as we get older we can’t keep blaming our past on what we do in the future. I can say this because my childhood was not very good either. I was beaten on a regular basis by a drug and alcohol addicted mother, who also would pimp me out in order to get her drugs. But I did not let it effect my future. I have made some bad choices in my life with men, but I have lived and learned. But those bad choices were of my own doing and not anyone else’s. I have a mind of my own and know the difference between right and wrong; that is how the good Lord made us; to have a conscience to know the difference. I can also say all this because in 1996 my step son was murdered by his dad’s nieces’ husband because he (my son) called him a smart ass. And just recentl y my natural mother was murdered. I believe that in both of these instances that they could have been prevented if either of them would have searched their conscience. That is what separates people who can kill another human being and those who might think it, but never act on it. (Self defense excluded) So the way you believe is that as long as these people had bad upbringings then they should be spared any retribution. So since I had such a rotten upbringing I should be able to murder someone if they embarrassed me or someone owed me money. Please explain to me how this is right.

STOLEN BOY’S RESPONSE

Hello… Wow, what a letter!!! Thank you so much for taking the time and energy to address these very important questions. I want you to know that I was so impressed by your letter, in fact, that I’m going to run it in my next newsletter.

You have asked me much, and I will try to address your thoughts. I believe in energy. There is a whole energy pie out there, but we only consider what we see, feel, hear, and touch in the physical world. We don’t take into consideration the whole pie of man’s evolution, existence, and his return to the world of spirit. We only see what we see, and act upon it.

I don’t believe life bears any true accidents. We reap what we sew. Our present consciousness equals our ultimate reality. We are conditioned in life to deeply disturbing energies that create misery for ourselves. But these crisis can be jewels in life. They force us to look for a way to end the suffering. They force us to look inside, and to dwell on why we bring so much misery. If we look deep enough, we will begin to touch base with the negative spiritual unconsciousness that pervades us. This is what creates misery that surrounds us.

But let’s throw in the collective consciousness, and the collective pain of the egoic mind. Women bear much of this, as do the African race and those of Jewish origin. As do Native Americans and many cultures that have been raped and tortured and brutalized through the eons. This adds to our collective dysfunction that is seen running rampant throughout the planet. This is what we must overcome, one person at a time. You and I can change the collective pie by taking care of our business. By spreading consciousness from its divine source, instead of filtering it through the egoic mind (thought and emotion), we not only expand our positive consciousness and influence, we deplete the collective negativity on the planet. I don’t need to worry about putting Brandon McInerney in prison for the rest of his life. The universe will take care of Brandon. But I do care about you, and all the others out there in search of answers. This is who I’m trying to reach.

And, last, but certainly not least, there is a fine line between victim hood and perpetratorship. The negative energies that go into both conditions attract the negativity of the opposite energies, feeding off of each other. Have you read Eckhart Tolle? He very well explains all of this.

Hope this helps to build a bridge of understanding, and I do feel all the suffering you have experienced in your life. But as you sit here, right now, this very moment, your consciousness can recognize the bliss. And if you do this 24/7, your egoic mind will stop bringing negativity from past and future into your most powerful moment, right now.

Love and Blessings,

Michael
