There are many situations that are happening around the globe that is giving mankind a wake up call to the treatment we have lumbered on our brothers and sisters, our animal friends, our nature kingdom which includes mother earth and of course ourselves. According to the universe we all have either lessons in karma or blessings in karma which are always repaid in full yet we do not know how and when this karma is balanced in the greater scheme of things.
Clearly what is happening now with the bush fires in Australia is a major balancer in karma as these fires or infernos are the worst in Australia's history and the tragic loss of life there, is the worst in one single natural disaster. Our egos, negative attitudes, sicknesses, love of money and materialism and attachment to power, eating animals and more are all issues that need to be dealt with as in the end there is only one hope and blessing and that is the purest of natural love given to all. Love and forgiveness are the balancer of karma and stopping all actions that pertain to reaping negative karma.
As we are all brothers and sisters in God's image and love we all deserve respect, love, mercy, compassion and this means the animals we eat too. As an animal knows its impending time is coming closer to being slaughtered the fear erupts through the body of the animal like molten lava, paralyzing and traumatizing it until death releases the spirit of the animal out of the body. These animals have souls and feelings too like you and I and the karma for eating their flesh is part of what is happening in the world today with all of the disasters we are suffering. Valentine's day 2009 is the dawning with the age of Aquarius when that magical old song, written forty years ago simply says, When the Moon is in the seventh house and Jupiter aligns with Mars, Then love will rule the planets and peace will steer the stars.
For us to evolve as a human species we need to forgive ourselves and others, to love unconditionally all on this planet and in spirit and to learn to utilize our gifts, talents and skills for the benefit of ourselves and all creation.
