For awhile now, I've been deeply concerned about climate change and how we are all going to be able to maintain our center as these superstorms become increasingly disastrous. In light of what's going on with Hurricane Sandy, I wanted to post a couple of  articles and blogs I've read that seem interesting and relevant. 

Aliens, Sandy And The Coming Global Superstorms (Forbes)

In Hurricane Sandy's Fury, The Fingerprint Of Climate Change (HuffPost)

Preparing for Hurricane Sandy Emotionally, Psychologically (PsychCentral)

I'm also looking forward to the upcoming Spring issue focused on Environmental Disasters and Collective Trauma.

Please share your thoughts---and sending thoughts of safety and strength to everyone affected by this current monster storm right now.

  • This is not man made global warming.  This is the result of the decreasing magnetosphere no longer protecting earth from solar radiation during a solar max as the sun reverses polarity.  The earth's magnetic field has been decreasing in intensity for about 40-50 years and is the reason that we are in the springtime of soul growth.

    What is happening is the same thing described as the weeds being burned in the story of the "Tares in the Wheat"  It's the same reason that a higher consciousness of a prayerful blessing to an evil person  is like placing hot coals on their head.

    It is also the reason that the fire did not harm Daniel but killed his persecutors. It's the reason that according to the Roman court records, Justin Martyr and Polycarp, early Christians who were being burned at the stake by the Romans for being pagans, were not harmed by the fire.

    I think it was in 1991 that I was burnt severely by hot oil when I very stupidly put a large block of ice with french fries into a kettle of hot smoking oil and it exploded onto my  bare arm.  I put out the flames on the stove, my arm and the carpet, looked at my arm which had much skin burnt away and exclaimed...."Oh Sh@t, I'm going to have to go to the hospital."  Instantly this energy moved down through my fingers, and and all the way to my arm pit, creating huge goose bumps with white heads covering the entire arm.  After thirty seconds, the goosebumps left and the skin that was burn away had returned to full healthy skin.  No redness, blisters or tenderness when it previously had been burnt away.  Really freaked me out as I had not prayed or anything, it just happened!  This happened shortly after my near death experience.  Had it not been that others saw it happen I would have thought I was NUTS!

  • Right On , Bonnie! A very recent permaculture group thread revealed that disasters take place in foreign countries - NOT HERE! So disaster preparedness and caring for refugees has not yet risen to Cleveland Heights and the Boise suburbs.

    Here's a new piece:

    Bill Mollison and I in the Chaos Era

    By Willi Paul, newmythologist.com
    “I don’t think there will be that many environmental refugees in the Willamette Valley.” — Mark
     
    “Can you elaborate on that prediction?  I’ve thought that with our abundant farm land, abundant water (knock on wood) and sparse population, the Willamette Valley is a pretty attractive lace to be for the collapse.  I would think that people will be fleeing LA, Las Vegas and Phoenix like rats leaving a sinking ship.  Where are they gonna go?  Why not here?” — Rob
     
    Call it the Martial Law, the Collapse or the Chaos Era, I think that we are either in deep denial, just plain uninterested or dangerously late to the table on what our world will look like when the gas is gone, Safeway is shuttered and the water supply is in the hands of a few.
     
    A sustainable community or permaculture conclave in a place like Willamette Valley can only support a few souls with shovels and Mollison’s ethics. 
     
    Here are four groups that could head to the farm and over-run it:
     
    1. The corrupted / gov’t
    2. Migrating permaculture groups
    3. Refugees (permanents)
    4. Transients (temps)
     
    What are the impacts on the existing system s at the sustainable community?
     
    1. Immediate food and water shortages
    2. Power struggles
    3. Physical fights
    4. Lawlessness
    5. A void in values and principles
    6. Flight of the existing farmers and destruction of the systems
     
    Initial Questions:
     
    1. What local or regional plans are in place to address this scenario?
    2. How to re-set the balance of the existing community?
    3. What are the short-term and long-term consequences of this Chaos?
    4. How do we educate and transmutate permaculture  values in a proactive way with such malaise and denial?
    5. Are 12’ barb wire fences the next step for the sustainable communities?
     
    • In 1992 I had a lot of visions of the future and shared them with quite a few people.  The visions appeared to be happening immediately, not twenty years later.  The time distortion between this level of consciousness and the other side is hard to judge.

      I even drew charts showing exactly what would happen to our national debt and the economic crisis, as well as the earth changes.  It is now unfolding, exactly as I thought it was going to twenty years ago.  It's coming in two phases.

      My first response to the visions was fear.  Then I realized it is about NOT FEARING.  Although I have a farm, seeds, pond and stream with fish and much food, I would never turn away a hungry soul. I don't care if I had only three days of food supply left, I would still share it.  This is not about fear, stockpiling food, supplies and protecting ourselves.  It is about growing spiritually to a higher level of consciousness where these are non issues.  Fear and fear response takes us in the exact opposite direction.  There is full abundance at the higher level of consciousness.

  • This is just the beginning.   Hang on to your hat!  It will get progressively worse for the next few months.
