Christmas Tsunami

Twenty-five hundred years ago one of the more highly evolved members of the human race resolved to sit in meditation until his consciousness became linked with the Cosmic Christ. In India he became enlightened or the Awakened One, the Buddha. This link has uplifted the planetary consciousness of man and strengthened the relationship between man and his higher purpose. The Buddha provided a bridge for this Christ consciousness to descend upon the Earth.

Two thousand years ago another individual became awakened to the Christ Consciousness within and went a step further to channel and anchor the energies of the Christ on the earth plane. At the tip of the now Middle East, Jesus's atonement to the Cosmic Christ created a channel, through his human consciousness, for the Divine Energies to impregnate the earth. All life would begin to realize the eternally indwelling presence of the Christ and it's power within.

I,like the rest of the whole world, have been stunned by the magnitude of the catastrophic tsunami in Bays of the Indian Ocean and the South China Sea. The shocking numbers of the initial fatalities has given rise to compassion and generosity worldwide. Even Colin Powell felt compelled to point out what a generous nation we are to aid in a situation where so many Muslims are amongst the needy.(spell-check suggested changing the spelling of Colin to colon)

The horrific travesties that occur daily in the Middle East in the name of each other's God, is a sad comment on the long gestation period leading to the rebirth of Man into his evolutionary expression of love beyond fear. We can no longer contribute to conflict by setting ourselves against the old hatreds, judgments and biases. We must align ourselves with and demonstrate love in all relationship, with ourselves, each other and the planet. To be agents of change, we must become change. To break old habits we must look to new behavior, not look back on the old.

The Mother Earth (Gaia) commands our attention, calling for wisdom, compassion and love to usher in a New Earth, Heaven on Earth. There is no place on earth to escape the destruction we have wrought. Many have been preparing to take the responsibility for creative and spiritual maturity. Within us, if we listen, are the answers to questions of right thought, right speech, right understanding, right action, right effort, and ways to act mindfully in each moment.

If not you, who?
If not now, when?

Martin Luther King commented that it was no longer a choice between violence and non-violence, but a choice between violence and non-existence.
