Personal Impressions of The SMART Conference 2012

August 20, 2012 by dejoly

Last weekend at Windsor Locks, CT, the conference started on Friday night for me, with a joy-filled pre-conference buffet and get together. I hugged old friends and made new friends. We spontaneously laughed and sang and caught up on our lives over the past year. It was a special night of sharing.

The next morning at breakfast the atmosphere was still filled with the same exuberance and laughter that we’d shared the night before. As the program moved from presenter to presenter, the theme seemed to move in and out of healing and joy and grief and affirmations, that this all would be alright… that there is a healing shift in the survivor movement that won’t be stopped. We have grown confident that what we experienced is accurate, no matter what our detractors would have us and all the world believe. The simple fact that the first presenter, Neil Brick, was able to bring up the Sandusky case in current history was a landmark for proving that this kind of abuse exists now – and has existed for generations. The fact that the media is now declaring the Penn State “scandal” a porn and trafficking ring, is monumental in our movement’s history. Not that long ago, we were called hysterical individuals with huge imaginations. It is obvious now, that we weren’t/aren’t either hysterical or crazy.

Janet Thomas’ presentation on Grief: The Good, The Bad, The Ugly, and the Transcendent, was especially poignant to me because it addressed in such a beautiful way, the very thing that motivates our healing from all the transgressions against us as children. Huge losses, including our childhoods, our children, our possessions, our identities, and more, all need to be grieved in the healing process. And a natural aspect of grief is anger, justifiable anger. Many of us are driven by our anger at what others did to us without and with our consent. We don’t claim to be perfect in our range of emotions and healing, but at least we are moving forward and doing what we need to do in order to function in this society and have a spiritual life.

Several speakers addressed the spiritual lives we struggle to have. Due to the spiritual damage our perpetrators inflicted on our psyche’s, many of us are challenged to create and maintain some sort of spiritual life that leads to immense healing.

And again, there was the laughter that is so healing. Lunch time offered a sandwich and salad buffet, taking into account the vegans, vegetarians and gluten intolerant attendees. The hotel and restaurant went out of its way to be gracious and inclusive, not always a trait of conference hotels. But then, we have been gathering for 15 years in this place that has become so familiar to many of us.

Saturday evening, I spoke about Finding Our Individual Paths Out of Chaos and showed the FOX-13 News interview on my website, www.dejoly.com. I feel it is important not to re-traumatize ourselves by keeping toxic people or situations in our lives and it isn’t always easy to recognize these people or situations. Part of that is because many of us were exposed to the Chaos Program that was used in Nazi Germany and brought over to ultimately be perfected in the MKUltra experimentation that was done in the late 40′s and 50′s, and continues to this day.

We have come a long way in our survivor movement, connecting all over the world with the use of the internet, creating conferences and authoring books. It is awesome to recognize friends from 15 years ago, still working at getting the truth out in the public. We support each other in ways that non-survivors can’t relate to.

Yes, this S.M.A.R.T. Conference was full of laughter, good connections, inspiring talks and new information. I am delighted that this conference has persevered through the work of Neil Brick and other survivors, over the years. Let’s hope that we can see the end of child trafficking, child torture, mind control, ritual abuse and government experimentation in my lifetime. That would be even more awesome!!
