Are We Causing Earth Changes?
Adapted from Peace is the Way by Deepak Chopra. (Three Rivers Press, 2005).
Natural disasters are not a message from God but a message from ourselves. The great spiritual traditions have mapped out a solution:
The spiritual answer is, “Of course we are, because Mother Nature is disturbed by our lack of love and respect for her.” The scientific answer is, “Of course we are, but only indirectly through decades of reckless pollution.” Everything depends on what level of consciousness dominates your awareness. All answers are tangled, yet in the untangling I believe that science will one day connect Earth changes and human awareness.
The great spiritual traditions have clearly mapped how a person regains the status of a creator. As power returns, everything changes in ways that cannot be guessed at in the state of alienation and separation.
How things get better as consciousness evolves:
- You begin to feel again; numbness lifts.
- You regain a sense of being benign. You belong here and are cherished.
- Your desires turn from self-destructive to self-empowering.
- Your thoughts have a benign effect on your environment.
- Reality shifts in an evolutionary direction for everyone else.
- The laws of creation re-emerge under the control of human awareness.
- It becomes commonplace to live from the level of the soul.
All these changes occur by degree, steadily growing stronger as a person goes deeper inside.

BUT when one looks into the possiblity of the Rich , Greedy and Power hungry, manipulating our emotions and thus our lives THEN we will wake up to the reality of life..
WE all know we can't trust Politicians , the Banking Families have control of the money and the power of the world , and no matter who we think we are they still push our buttons so they are still in control..so please seek for reasons WHY we are where we are at this time and place and wake up to reality ...WE are being lied to and manipulated , just as you are by commercials , and high power selling , you might be just being brain washed by those in control of what is leading up to a World Prison....

As I understand it, like it or not, we create our reality, even though the reality of others tends to get us to believe we are on a run-away roller-coaster ride over which we have no control - (in fact it appears that we created every detail of the scary ride). Global warming may be another example of our 'creativeness'.
On the above basis, it seems that we might be advised to take complete responsibility for the bit of the drama that we have choreographed around us.
I have come across the idea that we are born with a heavy wrench in our hand and, if we are not awake, we may try to jam it into the most fragile part of the workings which is 'our life'.
I buy into the notion that hearing/listening to and acting on my intuition, (something that everyone is equipped with), and thoroughly enjoying the ride that I together with my higher-self have painstakingly planned is the best I can do for everyone's highest good.
At first glance, it might seem amorally selfish, but what if it turns out to be the most unselfish thing we can do?
We may be doing our cosmic family a great disservice by missing a single moment of what is going on at this level where we are privileged to be, (even though the ego/personality may be grumbling 'Some privilege'-!).
Consider these maxims:
sit on your 'spiritual thumbs'
stay alert with ALL your senses
if you find yourself judging other people/situations - DON'T
however tempting, don't get dragged into the drama that surrounds you

As Gaia is a living and breathng entity who allows us to enhabit and grow upon her, we must realize that as we try to destroy pests in our homes, she will too. If we do not have respect for others, then they have none for us. I do Reiki to help heal her, and do what I can, but as a society no good vibration will heal if we continue to disrespect. Not just talk about it. But actively taking a role in what we choose to do and how we choose to live. Blessings.

I think love and peace within ourself can help our earth. Feeling the love inside that we receive from everything around us. God's love is the answer and we should feel love and be loved by everyone and everything around us. Just look around.

We are our own creators. It's up to us to perform changes. There is no one "but us" to do this. If we rely upon an imaginary space being to do this for us, we have lost our way. We must awaken ourselves from that comatose state. All is energy and energy is all. Both positive and negative must be dealt with. It will not dissipate, but it always goes through change. When our bodies perish, our energy changes. What that change is, will be a great adventure. But until then, we are obligated to balance all the energy we can. Our own, our world's, and our planet. As the negative side runs amok, we must create the balance! Namaste!

We can only bring about change in our small way, one breath at a time... And when we all realize that, only then will true and lasting change happen. Let's hope it's not too late.

I gave thanks to the earth for the beautiful pines, oaks and manzanita that surround me. I am grateful for the mountain air and breezes. The sun, moon and stars that shine so bright on me. Today I was blessed to hear the birds singing and many quail, dear congrating here, and the bees buzzing. Being thankful sure attacts more vivid life in my little part of paradise.

If speaking or thinking through love can heal the water,then we can heal our world by speaking or thinking through love. Be loving and have only love come through our speaking and the earth will respond back with love.

all is as it should be, the universal principle, or source of all things is omnipotent and perfect...it does not make mistakes! we and all other creatures of the universe are its representatives.we are mere reflections of its purpose.remember, everything is energy in transitional form....nothing remains unchanged.
