Christmas and Earth Changes... is there a connection?

The following thread appeared before Christmas at the Earthboppin' EQ site. Seemed like a good one to share. It went something like this... [my thanks to Sandy and Sheila for their contributions to this thread]...

SANDY: Looks like a Christmas tree all lit up... [referring to the high eq activity indicated on the IRIS seismic monitor on Dec. 23]


VIM: Just wondering... if the outer world reflects our inner world, do you suppose these holiday seasons have become just too 'disturbing' for most of us. Alot of emotion gets packed into these few weeks. Obligation. Family dysfunction. Loneliness. An emphasis on loved ones we've lost over time.

Could it be that the inner traumas people face at holiday time are mirrored out into the earth? And that is why so many earth events happen this time of year. This is metaphysics, I know, but I'm thinking it and thot I'd mention it.
BTW
PS Skip the season if ya want to. Your peace is the peace of the world.

SHEILA: seems that many things come into play this year that are worth processing. First, the juxtaposition between material and spiritual, the former shouts out to buy "things" while the soul yearns for spiritual transformation.

Also, within my own world, there is this great need to help others less fortunate rather than choosing to gratify the material wishes of loved ones who already have too much.

Early this am, I watched a very interesting roundtable discussion on moral, ethical values and how they play out in everyday situations. For instance, do you give a homeless person money that might be used for booze, or withhold that much needed money because you are afraid they won't spend it according to your values. One person said Christ would give unquestioningly. Others said, cure the root problem of homelessness in this country.

I just read that in my small city, on any given night, there are at least 2500 homeless people. Nationwide 2 million people have been homeless at some time during the year. How do I process the glad tidings of the season knowing these facts?

Indeed, alot of emotions surface this season and how Mother Earth processes this energy ..... how I wish any of us knew.

Earth changes have been happening long before this young species called homo sapiens peopled it's surface.

75,000 years ago, Toba volcano exploded with such force, it killed off all but about 12% of our species, along with many other lifeforms. Who knows what factors came into play back then. Who knows now.

Yet, there is this certain feeling now that things are changing quickly, that collectively, the human race needs to find a common ground of peace and goodwill. I strive to find inner serenity not only to cope but to add to this collective conscious awareness. If emotions can affect elements like water, then it must be that our thoughts, feelings and doings, will certainly have consequences in the natural.

All of that said, it might be time to not "skip" the season, but to metamorphose it into a higher purpose, one soul at a time.

If the Yogis are right, that cause and affect create this world of Illusion, Maya, and that each soul finds it's freedom through an individual journey to enlightenment then each step of the journey is the process itself, not just the destination.

Vimala, you brought up so many thoughtful questions, and I did try to post a reply on your board, but does one have to be a blogger to do this? Anyway, am thinking out loud here, trying to fathom what if any, affects we do have on these earthly events. It sort of looks like a cycle of action, reaction to me.

Earth happens, we react, she reacts, we act, etc.

Last night, I asked God if there were any planets out there that are more stable, more amenable to life than Earth....she answered "that's for me to know and you to find out"!

Hmmm, back to the journey, one step, one precious moment at a time.
