Excellent Colleen,
One of my major disillusionments was when I was employed as a New York State Trooper stationed in Rochester and responded to “Ground Zero” in New York City. The self-inflicted “attack” launched the “War On Terror” by the NeoCons like the man-made COVID-19 and subsequent “riots” launched the “War On Racism” by the NeoLibs.
I worked a total of eight weeks in New York City between September 23, 2001 and the end of the year. Fast-forward fifteen years and the following article was published in Newsweek Magazine:

So us “First Responders” are supposed to turn to the “World Trade Center Health Program” at Mt. Sinai Hospital in New York City to treat the diseases caused by the very same people who perpetrated the fiasco. The very definition of “Exercise In Futility.” Think the wearing of face-coverings to “protect” you from a virus. Absurd.
As a Spiritual Healer, you know the cure can only come from a higher level than the discomfort/disease. Disillusionment, used correctly, greatly enhances this connection to the Higher Power.
The following song expresses my feelings concerning being ordered to “Ground Zero” and the possibility of contracting cancer in the process:

CRANK IT!
Rock On,
