So you're both right.) Ron, I can't help but compare the earth's movements to my own, as anthropomorphic as that is. When I flail about violently, there's definitely heavy emotions involved. So it seems sort of natural that such a powerful release happens in a place with such inequities, intense emotions and repressions. I feel both compassion (and the desire to help) as well as an appreciation of the sheer beauty of the earth. We're so intertwined with it. One can hope that this movement of the earth will bring more worldwide focus to Haiti in a way that helps, as opposed to the invasion a few years ago. - Matthew Spears Thu, 14 Jan 2010 19:00:14 +0100 http://www.polarisrising.com/haiti-earthquake-of-compassion-and-love.html#comment-103 Whenever there is a disaster we tend to ask, "Why this, dear God?" Well, hopefully we do have an inkling of why. There is no doubt that the Earth changes, as they have been called, are accelerating and will continue to accelerate. Many different possibilities of enrgy shifts are now possible on the planet. We need to understand that the Earth is a spiritual force. As a spiritual force, Gaia wants to keep the biosphere balanced. A new spiritual technology for the Eart, called biorelativity, has come to this ploanet now. This spiritual technology can be developed to maintain the biosphere. We need to lift our thinking to ask what is happening in the omniverse. I will check out www.groupofforty.com - Anne K.

Long story but the thing is logrithmic actually anyway 5 to 7 on the scale is 900 times more energy. Take 7 to the Indonesian tsunami quake and that is 900 times what a 7 is, or 810,000 times more energy THis was bad because of how close to the island it was and they didn't have any modern buildings, look for rebar in the rubble, it isn't there that I have seen. That caused all the collapses. - mike Wed, 13 Jan 2010 17:46:11 +0100 http://www.polarisrising.com/haiti-earthquake-of-compassion-and-love.html#comment-101 When the news of Haiti was first reported, the comment that stuck in my head was that Haiti was the "worst possible" place for this to happen. It is a profoundly poor place that has experienced one tragedy or disaster after another. In other words, it's kind of the pain pinnacle of the hemisphere. In one video, as the immense cloud of dust unfolded across the ground, a woman was heard screaming that "the world was ending", and for many it was. But in her face, I could see that if her larger Self was a willing participant in this, her character was not. The pain and the tears are as real as it gets. Nevertheless, that causes me to wonder why the pain is focussed there like that, on one spot of the planet? (It's not the only spot, of course.) And then I realize that whole matter may just be larger than my vision, and my compassion may not be needed nor even wanted. Again, just a nagging feeling that this picture is bigger than I can see. Why IS Haiti so different than say, Germany? Or New Zealand so different than Rwanda? RV - Ron Volkman Wed, 13 Jan 2010 16:39:04 +0100
