Our apartment, a penthouse loft at 12 John Street, was a block from ground zero.  Our family’s path to regain security (PTSD) involves work with NY Matrimonial Court, where unfortunately we found gross bias and exploitation.  My conclusion is the same as the NY Office of Court Administration’s 2006 Matrimonial Commission chaired by Sondra Miller, who demanded “sweeping changes”  On behalf of my family I sued up the NY court hierarchy then to the Federal Court with a suit against the state (1983/Civil Rights case Silbermann, et. al. v Myers and a writ of habeas corpus Myers v. Okada), and appealed these cases on all levels including a writ of certiorari to the US Supreme Court.  A result is the elimination of NY’s so called Instant Action Parts, “IAP”. Another is the elimination of the entire matrimonial department, which had become bias and corrupt.  The OCA also fired it’s chief Matrimonial Judge Jacqueline Silbermann two years after I filed and served the federal cases.  See: NY OCA Press Release.  This is not work I expected to do as a result of terrorism, but disasters (and death) can be opportunities to honor our lives and create the world our children will want to inherit.  Failure of ethic by government is perhaps the most serious threat to Homeland Security, our own matrimonial and family court system hits at this core more directly than planes on a building.  Each citizen in a democracy is responsible to insure balance and ethic by our own government, including our own courts, our own authorities of any kind.             

Just after the first plane hit I put a high quality movie camera on a tripod on our terrace.  The steady images assisted evaluator such as  National Institutes of Standards and Technology, N.I.S.T., understand how the structure was effected, why the buildings fell.  As important is why the event occurred, and how to recover our feelings of defensiveness.  These answers require at least as much research, evaluation and action as the physical event.  The answers are involve psychiatric and spiritual insight, and then action to heal.  This is a small, highly connected planet.  We are all responsible to maintain balance and soul consciousness, and to act to create it in our various systems and homes.

                 Practice Soul Consciousness today... maybe everyday...
                    Watch your thoughts, they become your words,
                    Watch your words, they become your actions,
                    Watch your actions, they become habits,
                    Watch your habits, they become your character.
