Tsunami - The Lessons Of Nature
In today's uncertain world, we are once reminded of the awesome
power of Nature. The tsunami tidal waves that hit Southeast Asia
showed the power of Nature and the fragility of human life. Yet
among the tales of despair, some people survived against all
odds. Makes one wonder about life and it's meaning. There is
more to life than what we think. On a conscious level one cannot
understand why some people perished and some survived. I have my
own theories. A little four year old boy who miraculously
survived in a tree for over two days without water or food. Why
did he survive when his whole family, home and world drowned
before his young eyes? I have a four year old son so it pains me
to think of him being in a similar plight. Yet there must be a
reason for that four-year old boy surviving. Hmmm.
Strangely we do not see dead animals, dogs or cats littering the
beaches where the tsunami struck. Perhaps it reminds us of the
need to tune into our sixth sense a bit more. The tsunami is a
wakeup call. The shifting weather patterns, earthquakes and
melting polar icecaps are all signals reminding us about the
changes that are happening across the world. It is time that we
use our minds to see through the effects towards their causes.
What can we do?
Become a champion. Each person must become a champion for
change. Think big yet start small. Seek not to change the outer
world but begin with your inner world first. Learn to connect
with your inner self. Listen to your intuition. Your intuition
connects in with the vibrations of the universe. Like the
animals it can sense shifts within Nature's energy fields. It
begins with you stilling your mind and really listening. Then
overcoming your own fears in your quest to champion a greater
cause.
Turn your mind towards solutions. We have created more advanced
technologies than ever before yet we still struggle to live
together without fear of the other person. Turn your mind
towards solving our world's greatest problems. Begin with the
five biggest problems in your life. Seek to solve them as your
contribution to solving the world's problems.
You are not alone. Many people are making small changes in their
lives. Although media and newspapers portray mainly bad news,
there are still people of honour, goodwill and vision who wish
to make a difference. The survival of our human species and our
planet is causing people to connect at a higher consciousness.
Small shifts lead to major changes. This is happening all over
the planet. People are asking questions about how we can change
our lives and world for the better. It gives you a sense of
connectedness when you think that people all over the world are
feeling something similar to you right now. People are
re-evaluating their lives. In living rooms, classrooms, prison
cells, wheatfields, skifields, temples and hospitals. Change is
happening.
Start now. Start to make changes in your life now. Many people
are waiting for a new leader to emerge, someone to say "follow
me". Well, the irony is that we all need to become a leader of
sorts. We cannot abdicate our own responsibilities by looking
towards someone or something else. Just look in the mirror and
start there.
Muhammed Ali once produced the world's shortest poem when he
simply said "ME, WE". It's a simple message that can perhaps
save an entire species.
