Breakdowns or Breakthroughs?

All this conversation about earthquakes has me wondering what is the God angle? My immediate response is Mother Earth is shifting, which we know, and it is all good. But I want to go deeper.

Our world has been in an overtly selfish emotional state for centuries. In 'our' lifetime we have witnessed vengeful, fearful, horrible human upon human acts. Some of us may even say, our society or humankind (in general) is broken. Or is it?

When an individual is acting in a non humanitarian way, a teenager, a two year old, an adult.....we seek to see the seed, the God spark within them. When a relationship is pained and harm is being caused, couples seek counseling to remember the good they once had. Families, friends, co-workers - when times get tough, the tough get going - the tough being love. And when the individual, the relationship or the family does not unearth their individual feelings of love or being loving; a crisis will be birthed. An illness, a nasty divorce, a pain filled break up. And it is all good, in
the manner that we all get there - eventually - to love. Some kicking and screaming, being pulled by a team of wild horses or worse, our own Karma; but we get there. The guarantee is we all wake up. Some of their own volition, some of Gods not so gentle volition.

We as a global society have reached such great pain in our individual and connective relationships to self, Mother Earth, one another - have reached crisis point and God is speaking up loudly. The earthquakes cause humanity to awaken. The child in sex trade causes governments and civilians to be so vulgarized at the horrific acts on a child that we FINALLY care what is happening across the globe to another human. The pain of seeing earthquake victims makes our hearts race from the comfort of our suburban homes to volunteer, to be the great savior - and what we come home with is a deeper sense of faith in seeing that these people, these people who have been traumatized are STILL every day thanking God for their lives. Whom is saving who?

The breakdown, the crisis, the pain is always at the same time the breakthrough, the Light, the Way. Our Oneness is so palpable and real that we can cry at the photo of an abused animal and have created within us such a desire to right the wrong it takes over our lives as our passion and mission.

It is true that all the emptiness is waiting for Love to be poured into it -to be made aware of what is already there - to fill it up like a goblet of Light.

Never before this moment did I ever have an appreciation for the news. I stopped watching 30 years ago - BUT I can now, in this moment, appreciate the roll it plays in bringing to those who choose to watch it - an opportunity to create BETTER lives. To create change. And it is all done in the same manner. Weather it is the label of an illness, a broken relationship, a Tsunami or an earth quake or other - our hearts are cracked opened. Our hearts, our emotional caverns of humanity are pried open with an action from Nature; and we weep and we find a way to be better at being human.

If you cannot drop your life here and go build homes or travel to areas which appear less fortunate than us, or you do not feel called, be reminded right now that those less fortunate places are supplying others with heart opening gifts - we are One and there has been no other time on this planet that Gods message has been stronger - those that are able must do whatever they can to support the awakening of our individual hearts - so that humanity's heart thrives and continues.

What can you do? Simply find ways to LOVE better. Love your friends, family, children, self....better. Love softer, gentler, more open. Love unconditionally, without rules, regulations and laws. Love one another as Spirit loves us; Love no matter what. And if you need to get out of the way, do that; but still be loving. This is an action from the heart - not from money, or having to cross the globe to take an outer action; it is a way of being. Simply find ways to Love better. This does make a difference. I promise.
