EARTH STRIKES BACK

It is a given in much of Western consciousness that the Earth is a piece of rock flying through the universe to be mined, drilled, utilised as a piece of real estate and generally abused as a resource for human needs.

Many mystics, me included, believe that the Earth is a living being with her own life plan and objectives. In addition the animal, vegetable, mineral and human kingdoms are a projection of Earth’s consciousness. Thus we humans, as a specie, and the other kingdoms owe our very existence to the beneficence of our terrestrial mother. Without her co-operation and, yes, love we would not be here.

Humanity, in the main, does not have the conscious awareness that they are not in charge. The Indigenous peoples have been aware throughout the centuries that our mother is beneficient as long as we do not abuse her. Many of their ceremonies are based around the premise of loving and giving thanks to her for our existence and sustenance.

So given the general perspective of superiority of man over the Earth and, thus the elements, the consciousness of man perceives existing in a straight line reality. Everything proceeds according to a human plan marching forward into the future. Nothing could be further from the truth. Reality works in a cyclical fashion repeating cause and effect on higher rungs of the spiral. Perhaps I will write further on this perspective later.

There is another factor to be considered. That is the law of Karma or cause and effect. Every action invites its opposite re-action in this third dimensional reality. This law of the universe works between kingdoms as well as between individual and groups of humans. So, let us consider recent some events.

Some time ago a TV nature commentator suffered a horrific death after being stung by Manta Ray while swimming. The strange thing about this sad death was that such an attack is practically unknown. These animals are not known to attack humans. I began to think and meditate on this strange and awful event. I remember that this person had made a successful TV career by manhandling crocodiles and snakes in a way to create a reaction from the viewing public.

 I saw these programs as an affront to nature although it was, most probably, exciting for much of the viewing public. It came to my intuition that the death was a karmic recompense for the, as I saw it, an affront to nature. I am not comfortable saying this. Any death is a sad loss to family and friends. However natural law will be fulfilled whatever our human perception is of such an event.

Let us examine a much larger natural event. An undersea earthquake near Japan caused a Tsunami and the death of thousands of people. Damage caused has been on a massive scale. Half a million people were living in temporary shelter; Apocalyptic. Again one must send heartfelt love and compassion to the Japanese people and the grieving families. The worst damage was caused around the seaports and inland areas around the North-East coast.

In an apparently unrelated event the Japanese have been catching and killing whales much to the opposition of the International community and, in my view, against Mother Earth. These catches, it is said, are for unspecified ‘scientific’ research. Now whales are not only intelligent and sentient mammals but are the holders of vital codes of information for humanity and Mother Earth. So are the unforgiveable deaths of whales, to mystics, connected to the terrible scenes from Japan recently? Is Mother Earth operating her own defence against the human attacks on her charges, the whales? The loss of life on both sides is appalling and difficult to comprehend.

After a meditation friend Joan told of European men married to Japanese women re-locating their families to Europe thus bringing the Oriental energy further into the west. In addition The Japanese authorities have been forced to call in support from abroad in order to begin to overcome the desperate Tsunami problems. Thus the mixing of cultures and energies continues apace. This can only be good for mutual understanding.

In a TV program, told to me by friend Mary, Japanese consumers were confronted by a Western reporter. They were asked about the source of their delicacy Shark fin soup. When informed that the Sharks were brutally slaughtered to provide the, to them,   delicacy those interviewed shrugged their shoulders saying that this had always been the case for hundreds of years. So, could it be argued that Nature was striking back through our Mother Earth in order to protect her specie?

In a subsequent meditation I was given two other pieces of information. First, that the disaster to the human population was an attempt by Mother Nature to open the emotions of the Japanese populations. Our Earth Mother needs humanity to be emotionally balanced for the coming times. After all humanity is the equivalent of a chakra of the Earth and is, therefore, necessary for her continuing evolution. I was informed during the meditation that this necessary change was taking place.

A few day after writing the above I received an e-mail from friend Paul Hover who received the following from a  Japanese Tsunami survivor.

Things here in Sendai have been rather surreal. But I am very blessed to have wonderful friends who are helping me a lot. Since my shack is even more worthy of that name, I am now staying at a friend's home. We share supplies like water, food and a kerosene heater. We sleep lined up in one room, eat by candlelight, share stories. It is warm, friendly, and beautiful.

During the day we help each other clean up the mess in our homes. People sit in their cars, looking at news on their navigation screens, or line up to get drinking water when a source is open. If someone has water running in their home, they put out a sign so people can come to fill up their jugs and buckets.

It's utterly amazingly that where I am there has been no looting, no pushing in lines. People leave their front door open, as it is safer when an earthquake strikes. People keep saying, "Oh, this is how it used to be in the old days when everyone helped one another."

IF the above is common experience then, indeed, the Japanese emotional psyche is opening up.

The second intuition centred on the unfolding nuclear disaster. I was informed intuitively that this disaster gave the Japanese the opportunity to become disenchanted with this toxic form of energy generation. Once set aside the powerful Japanese engineering abilities could then develop a threat free mode of energy generation. This was a gift to Japan from cosmic forces.

What I an arguing is that there needs to be a balance of give and take between Mother Earth and her kingdoms. This requirement for balance has always been in place. The Indigenous peoples know and have known this. We, the supposedly modern societies, have lost the knowledge and thus the will to maintain this balance. This will be to our future detriment as a race unless we reverse current attitudes.

So how do we reverse that which has been part of man’s psyche since the enlightenment? What we do is return to the wisdom of the ancients and the indigenous peoples. We honour Earth in meditation, in rational thought in our behaviour and in physical work with the planet; sounds easy doesn’t it? It is. After all it is the way that ancestors and indigenous have survived and prospered on our Mother Earth.  If we don’t change our ways then the inevitable decline of our society, which is well under way, will result in its demise. This will, in my view, be sooner rather than later. We can start to change as individuals. There is always something that can be done.

My intuition tells me that no disaster, cataclysm whether human or otherwise is fixed in time. If anyone tells you that ‘the end is nigh’ ignore them and work positively. You can and do make a difference. Start now. There is no time like the present. Our work with our Mother is akin to the way that DNA works. Our thoughts and actions change our DNA as we move through life. Our positive work with Mother Earth helps her and will change those cataclysms and troubles that would otherwise occur to an unconscious populace.

Those that would rule us will attempt to tell you differently. They will either say that nothing will happen and for us to carry on in the same old way or they will say that disaster cannot be avoided. Don’t listen to them. They are deluded or power hungry. Publicity of every difficult situation that humanity faces is constantly replayed through the electronic and paper media. It is in our remit, as humans, to be aware, to witness, to be compassionate and to help where possible. It is also important not to be permanently dragged into the drama of others. It can deflect us from our path towards our developing consciousness and that of Mother Earth. Those that would rule us would love to trap us in a constant frenzy of fear and stress.

On a related issue I was given a perspective connecting Earth to her neighbours the Moon and Sun. There are some that say the Moon is an artificial construct and was placed in orbit around the Earth. I know not if this is true or not. The information that I was given in meditation relates to the function of reflection.

This is an important function of our consciousness and was a gift to humanity as a result of the interaction of Mother Earth and the Moon and the Sun. Now the key element in this interaction is the energetic process which results from the Moon reflecting the light of the Sun to the Earth and thus humanity. Also the Moon reflects back the light of the Earth back to the Earth. Without the Moon creating this energy matrix we humans would not possess this wonderful function of consciousness. So we can see how important the heavenly bodies are in our continuing developing consciousness.

Friend Doug sent the following.

Do you think the horrific disaster in Japan is due to

1. The natural forces of the earth settling or
2. The earth reacting to the abuse it has endured for millenia - 
enough is enough sort of thing

If 2 then

1. is the earth ITSELF sensitive and conscious or
2. is it under the influence of a Consciousness that controls the Universe

If 2 then

1. is the purely materialistic godlessness attracting retribution
2. If so would a spiritual return on the part of the people of Japan 
AS A WHOLE attract vibrations of protection and a quelling of such 
horrific disasters.

What do you think out there, consciousnesses linked to the electronic matrix? Your views and perspectives are at least as important as those of Doug and me. I would really like to hear from you.
