Prayers/Support for Dr. Michael Irving ( re child abuse sculpture monument)
Posted on: 03/05/2014 20:38
I don't know how many of you remember GRR...David Keating's thread in 2010 about Dr. Michael Irving's life long passion to help sexually abused children. We were all busy helping GRR raise funds via Aviva... was it? I need to refresh my memory.
Dr. Irving had been seriously abused himself as a child. He has spent all of his money and all of his time over the years focused on creating or sculpting a beautiful monument in memory of the children who have been sexually abused and those who have died. He has spent years trying to raise the necessary funds for it. It has been many years in the making. It is presently sitting at his home in the driveway.
I am reading in today's Toronto Star that the monument will not be accepted to be installed on Queen's Park government property. It was Dr. Irving's dream that it would be accessible for all to see and he believed it would bring healing as well as education for the survivors.
The message of the healing hands on the monument created by the survivors themselves would be that the children were cared about, understood, and loved. The gov't says the monument will cost too much to maintain. This is a terrible blow to Dr. Irving and all of us who had helped to raise money for his cause.
As we wait to see what follow up may ensue on Dr. Irving's behalf after today I hope we can be with him in spirit with our best wishes, hopes, and dreams as we join with him to promote his worthy cause and believe that the tide will turn in his favour.
Please see the video and past info. on the next post. Thanks.

If the Toronto Star article isn't readily accessible here is the same article on another website. Also I would like to mention that the monument costs 1.5 million to produce and it is free to the city of Toronto.

Do a little research on the myth of Moloch ...
It is a vivid illustration of reciprocal psyche: if kids observe violence on a regular basis .. what is the norm in their minds? Many induced impression hidden there ... if by passed could we call it de-deuced, or dead Oz'd ... hidden dog maw? The things we don't see, hear, say although you can almost smell the corruption ... that's truth for yah ... rejected as ÆZous ... redacted of course by the Latin way of loving and leaving ...
What do you call children that see beyond this norm ... Suprenormal Activity ... super ego? That's an extensive conscience is it not ... a stretch of the normal awareness that is next to nothing ... a vast needyness of mortals? Many are blind to this due to the law of ignorance heiros gammos ... a primal religious law hanging over us like a Black Rose ... Lil Ethe?
In some traditions this is Gabriel calling ... an icon in dark Semite form ... something else we'd rather not know ... as dimensional sharing ...

Hi stardust,

I remember GRR aka David Keating.
I am reading in today's Toronto Star that the monument will not be accepted to be installed on Queen's Park government property. It was Dr. Irving's dream that it would be accessible for all to see and he believed it would bring healing as well as education for the survivors.
Perhaps Ottawa could find a place for it? Unless it is specifically a Toronto memorial a national monument should find some kind of welcome in Ottawa and perhaps under the auspices of the Federal Government the financial burden for ongoing maintenance would not fall upon the whole country.
Grace and peace to you.

Surely, this monument deserves to be in a public place! I am sure someone will find a place for it.
