Doreen Ellen Bell-Dotan, Tzfat: It is perfectly OK to say: This Memory was conceived as an Experience and I accept it as my Child, but I am too young myself to care for it properly. It is perfectly OK to say: This Experience was conceived in pain that I am not strong enough to handle now. I will allow this Experience to become a Memory until such time as I am strong enough to handle the pain. It is perfectly OK to say: The Experience occurred but I am too indigent experientially and/or emotionally and/or materially to allow for the fullest expression of this Memory. I will store it in the Silo of my Memory until I can care for it.
It is not OK to say: I hate the People with whom this Experience was conceived. I will not allow this Experience to exist within me as a Memory. I will burn it to death with the fury of my anger. I will dissolve it in my acerbic bitterness. I will freeze it to death by depriving it of all warmth. I will kill it with thirst by subject it to the aridity of ignoring it.
Know assuredly that the murder of Memories will express itself on the more pronounced levels of Life as the murder of Living beings that exist in bodies.
It is OK to encapsulate our painful Experiences. Some of the Memories in which they exist have sharp structures that keep them protected. So, they need to be encapsulated and stored safely in our subconscious until such time as We, or even our Descendants, can provide them with maximal conditions for growth. But let us not be cruel with our Memories.
Bnei Lot are of an ancient origin. In the migratory tradition of Ruth begun more than two millennia ago, a remnant of David and Solomon migrated into Maritime Southeast Asia which comprises what is now Brunei, East Timor, Indonesia, Malaysia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, The Philippines, and Singapore, as well as Melanesia, Micronesia, and Polynesia, with a sizeable minority of Malays migrating back to their tribal allotments in Sephardic Judah, besides Terrestrial and Figurative Jordan.
