Haiti Earthquake

So what has the latest crisis got to do with spirituality? We have seen the suffering and hardship not once, but many times befall this small nation in the Caribbean. All the major networks have their reporters on the island sharing the devastation of befallen buildings while the dead lay side by side on sidewalks;causalities from this impressive earthquake. On a very human side, the world has thankfully joined together--laying aside our differences and focusing instead on an outpouring of love--accepted with love and gratitude by their President.

So many levels, meanings and things elude us in our human condition, but all eyes focused on Haiti certainly will have a measurable effect within our hearts as we join and thus our shift as human beings becomes unmistakable. And love, which is perhaps our soul's true mission on the earth plane, is often overlooked, deemed unimportant and insignificant by most that have no problem casting judgment on the homeless on our streets. So, it seems to take something of this magnitude (pun intended) to make us all stop; question, ponder, and ask why? What is the bigger spiritual picture? Can we view this situation differently and make sense of what we see broadcast into our homes over this natural event called earthquake?

So I present it here . . . a very different perspective. Not to take away from the compassion and empathy surrounding this situation, but to suggest that we each incarnate to earth for different feelings, different experiences, and yes, different events that seem to cataclysmic. To recognize and know that there are moments where souls clearly together and on mass take themselves to another dimension. Again, this is not something that we should judge, but entertain, that the idea of transitioning and transitioning in such numbers with others in the collective and of our energy force has a power that we cannot fully understand and that there is something else going on here. We must acknowledge the grander sense of who they are. For when souls are able to go together--a feeling of being a part of something of great significance and relating to the whole universe as their spirits leave this plane.

This is not something we easily understand or accommodate in our minds, but it is indeed something worth thinking about and pondering. These grand and glorious souls are doing something for the larger collective and we should give them credit. We must be acquainted with this so that we can step forward and begin to think differently. To assess these events differently is important as we bring our wondrous love and compassion for each other, not merely to dismiss the event as catastrophic, but as a wondrously divine, honorable, timely and energetic transition for the benefit of all.
