Hello! We are very happy you are here at the Once Upon an Eden website!
What you will find on the Once Upon an Eden website:
The themes of message changes as needed on the Once Upon an Eden website; especially here on the "Welcome" page. We deal with pretty difficult topics: child abuse, domestic violence (of men and women), teen issues, environmental causes, slavery, government and corporation exploitation. Our approach is not PC (Politically Correct) nor is it conspiracy theory (theories once proven are no longer theories), we deal with historical phenomenons. Almost all topics relate back to child abuse in one way or another. (Articles are archived in our email for easier access. If you are looking for an article or wish to address a topic that you have seen here before. Email us at onceuponaneden.org and we will email you the article or information on the topic.
Regardless of what you may find or come to understand here on the Once Upon an Eden website, we at Once Upon an Eden hope that you leave here knowing that: We as individuals and as the Human Family are both the cause and answer to the challenges /issues that we call Life.
The answer to all of life's challenges/ issues is to take care of yourself, your family and your community.

Special Message from Michelle Carmela (OUAE Founder/Director)
There is an English saying, "May you live in interesting times." It is a curse that seems like a blessing. It is derived from the Chinese saying, "Better to be a dog in times of tranquility, than a human in chaos." Written in 1627, by Feng Menglong in his short story collection, "Stories that awaken the World."
While the World is locked down in "Corona Hell" aka a Corona World" we are certainly feeling the reality of both of these sayings.
Joseph Chamberlain sums up events of his time in the speech he gave in 1898:
"I think that you will all agree that we are living in most interesting times. (Hear, hear.) I never remember myself a time in which our history was so full, in which day by day brought us new objects of interest, and, let me say also, new objects for anxiety. (Hear, hear.) Emphasis added.

The opening sentences of the book "A Tale of Two Cities" written by Charles Dickens in 1859, also echo a clear description of our Today:
"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had the nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way-in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only. "

It seems that everything old is new again. We were in the beginning phases of "The Age of Enlightenment" when Joseph Chamberlain gave his speech in 1898. We are in a new era of enlightenment once again.
Consciousness is being questioned. What is it to be Human is also now in question. Advancements in military technology are happening so quickly that the cast away technology heaped upon the general masses is forcing us to live SyFy lives that we had only dreamed or fantasized about which we are learning practically now in real time are both a boon and a bane. And for some people just sheer torture. The concepts of family, education, every day activities, fashion, every experience of being a human being is now being called into question. |
