\nquestions raised by the sudden and dramatic change in our world
\nthis week caused by the earthquake and tsunami in Japan, so soon
\nafter the earthquakes in New Zealand and Haiti, floods in
\nAustralia, and amidst so much war.<\/p>\n
\nare lots of people who are extremely nervous about impending
\nnuclear disaster, on top of their distress about what has already
\nhappened.<\/p>\n
\nmy own peace and clarity, and I humbly offer these thoughts to
\nyou. I hope you’ll add your own thoughts below.<\/p>\n
\nwith natural (or human-made) disasters?<\/p>\n
\nhealing, his ideas can also be applied on a larger scale.<\/p>\n
\ndeath of a loved one, an unexpected diagnosis of a serious
\ndisease, a serious accident involving injury, and what
\ncommunities face after a hurricane, during epidemic disease,
\ndrought, war, and other traumatic events are all different
\nversions and intensities of the same sorts of stress.<\/p>\n
\nthat threaten or destroy our health, families, homes, livelihood,
\ncommunities — all the familiar structures that give us a sense
\nof security.<\/p>\n
\nterror, numbness, denial, anger, overwhelm, apathy, guilt, shame,
\nconfusion, anxiety, grief, the desire to rescue others, feeling
\npowerless…<\/p>\n
\nindividuals involved. In this case, those individuals would be
\neveryone in the world who witnessed this event in person, on TV,
\nin any form of the news, or anyone who knows or knew people or
\nplaces involved. That includes me. You too?<\/p>\n
\nand a plan is begun for your basic needs for water, shelter,
\nclothing, food, the primary need all of us have no matter how
\nclose or far we may be from the actual traumatic event, is …<\/p>\n
\nwe all revert to pretty primative emotions, even if for a short
\ntime. It’s human nature, and it’s predictable.<\/p>\n
\nsure we still belong, we’re accepted in the new order of things,
\nthe changed situation. This becomes particularly important when
\nthere is the appearance of scarce resources, and\/ or there
\nappears to be continued danger. If we feel loved, we feel more
\nsecure, and this helps us pull ourselves back to feeling
\ncentered, thinking clearly, and able to function normally.<\/p>\n
\nunconditionally. The breath of your life is freely given to you,
\nwith no requirement other than that you take it in. You are not
\nrequired to be brave, smart, compassionate, efficient, helpful, a
\nhero, a “good patient” or a “good person.”<\/p>\n
\nprove that you are more deserving to be alive. Life is not
\nsomething you have to earn. So, the best thing you can do is to
\nbreathe deeply of the life that is yours, and live it abundantly.<\/p>\n
\nwallow in guilt or shame, behave as if you do not deserve good
\nthings. You can’t do yourself or anyone else any good this way.
\nIt is to everyone’s advantage if you open yourself fully to the
\npower, energy, wisdom, health, and wealth that come naturally
\nwhen you ACCEPT the life that is “pressing in on you.”<\/p>\n
\nof people who have no shelter, food, water,
\nsanitation, or health care and who are thousands
\nof miles\/ kilometers from me?<\/p>\n
\nmolecules and atoms, there is no separation between your body and
\nthe air you breathe, the food you eat, and the water you drink.
\nIn this way, you are continuous with every physical form, living
\nand non-living, on the planet.<\/p>\n
\nand the ability of animals, including you, to transform matter
\ninto energy and energy into matter, you know that you are
\ncontinuous with every form of energy. This includes heat, light,
\nwind, electricity, gravity, magnetism, and yes the power of
\nearthquakes and tides and waves in the ocean. It’s all one.<\/p>\n
\nphysical body, you will understand how your thoughts and emotions
\nare continuous with everything else.<\/p>\n
\nplanet does not impact people who are suffering.<\/p>\n
\ngreater impact, and there is plenty of information available
\nabout how to do that. Remember though, that the intention and
\nemotion in your actions is at least as important as the actions
\nthemselves.<\/p>\n
\nare to blame for causing the earthquakes and tsunami?<\/p>\n
\nthe causes of problems (diseases, poverty, etc.) or speculating
\non their likely outcomes. Nor is it useful to focus on the
\ndisaster itself, or to judge or blame anyone.<\/p>\n
\nhours of television that prompt us to gasp in horror and shock
\nand grief, we are actually pouring energy into perpetuating the
\nproblem. And by spending time and energy worrying and being angry
\nover how what humans have done to wreck the natural environment
\ncontributed to this disaster, or how all the violence we do to
\none another around the planet surely is the cause, we are
\ncontributing to the very energy we complain about.<\/p>\n
\nthat will surely develop because of the conditions, how difficult
\nit will be to rebuild what’s been destroyed, all the obstacles
\nthe rescuers will face, or what other “acts of nature” are sure
\nto come, we are again reinforcing the energy that feeds the
\nproblems instead of turning our energy toward the solutions.<\/p>\n
\nefforts, the first place, always, is with ourselves. To focus
\nwith love and compassion on the peace within ourselves and our
\nconnection with our Source. When the impulses for our actions
\ncome from this connection, and not from our fear or need to prove
\nourselves, we cannot go wrong. We look to see where we can make a
\ndifference creating peace and harmony right where we are, in our
\nown families, workplaces and communities, as well as how we can
\nreach out to those far away.<\/p>\n
\nrespect for our common humanity rather than with pity. With a
\nvision of certainty of our common strength, wisdom, health, and
\nall positive things rather than be distracted by the appearance
\nof suffering and struggle, or the difference between “them and
\nus.” We’re all in this together, and we can drag each other down
\nor raise each other by our attitudes and actions.<\/p>\n
\nwhich there is more life to all and less to none.<\/p>\n
\nSubstance, the Supreme Intelligence when it lets
\nthese things happen? How can it be all good?<\/p>\n
\nof science, religion, philosophy — all our human attempts to
\nunderstand and make sense of our world. We humans like the
\nsecurity of the idea that we can know how things work, that we
\ncan control our world to have only what we like, that we can
\npreserve what we love. We fight wars over these things.<\/p>\n
\nout the how and why of things, and instead to trust in a power
\nthat may be greater than our ability to comprehend.<\/p>\n
\nonly the force of good, to CHOOSE to believe that all the natural
\nforces at work are those moving toward more abundant life for
\nall.<\/p>\n
\nweather, our bodies, our relationships, the economy… Much as we
\nmay want to cling to our favorite parts, everything changes. At
\nthe level of science we can understand, there is constant motion
\nin EVERYTHING, no matter how solid and still it may seem.<\/p>\n
\nit’s dramatic and abrupt, like these earthquakes and tsunami.<\/p>\n
\nvictims in a world we can’t understand. We can choose to think we
\nare being punished, or are the victims of someone else’s bad
\nbehavior, or even the collective “sin” of human nature.<\/p>\n
\nat all, but are powerfully creative parts of a greater good, and
\nthat we can influence the appearance of things to everyone’s
\nbenefit by our participation in this belief.<\/p>\n
\nhanging our beliefs on how things appear in the world. If we
\nchoose to believe in his version of how the world works, we can
\nturn our attention from trauma, disease, problems and obstacles,
\nand focus instead on what we can be and do.<\/p>\n
