(no subject)
I've only been alive 18 years on this Earth, atleast that I am conscious of. Now, you can null about 13-14 of those years to where I wasn't mature enough to understand what was going on.
But the past 4 years have been eye opening. It started with September 11. I mean, it started wayyyy before that, but that is what opened my eyes. Alllll the way up until now, and this hurricane, everything that has been globally accepted as "catastrophic" has just been well, eye opening. No, wait, even more than that. More like spiritually opening. All of these events, September 11, the tsunami, this hurricane...and many many more, don't they seem too...perfect to be coincidental? Not perfect as in good, but perfect as in..planned.
Sure, it is our way of developing a sensitive side, and in our human nature (atleast here in the States) to have media frenzies about things. And every so often, something comes along that just captures our attention and we feed on it, to the bone. And then, a month or two later, we turn ADD, and forget about it. Pat Tillman? No longer than 2 weeks. Even now, September 11 feels different. Sure people will always say that they always remember, and that they always will feel the same. But there isn't nearly as much focus as their once was, and it just feels like everyone steps back down into their own comfort state, where they feel invincible. Now I know that it is common to let things fade over time, I understand that, but maybe if we took more to heart what has happened, then maybe so many things wouldn't happen.
In no way am I saying this is what happened, or how, but it is a possibility. I can't help but feel that this nation, if not the world (I won't say world because I honestly don't know), is not..loving enough. Maybe even respectful enough. Maybe not looking inside enough. Maybe we need to start looking inside more, so we won't have to look at the ruin on the outside. The way I believe, if you aren't spiritually awake, you WILL become spiritually awake, sometime. Doesn't mean it will happen now, or later, or even in this lifetime. I don't know. I just believe it will happen.
When so many things happen that capture our attention, in an increasing pattern, I can't help but believe these are prompts to awake, or evolve. To push people into believing, into caring, into love. When you really think about it, a lot of these events, call for caring, and call for help. They almost all unify people too. Coincidence? It seems like a plan to me. To make us realize something. And I think, for the most part, it's been doing a good job, though I think it will keep happening until it reaches more people. I've seen a lot of people start to contemplate things, and go a little deeper within themselves, due to these events. It's just sad that so many innocent people had to be sacrificed for some of us to learn something. But it makes sense, after all, I guess. As humankind, for us to continually evolve, something has to be always changing. I'm sure all the innocent souls are being taken care of.. they do deserve it. I know I believe in some elements of fate and destiny and the such, but I do believe in free will too. And whether this was in their fate or not, I do not know, but I do know that they are respected, atleast by me. Giving up your human life, for other's development, is quite a sacrifice, whether they are conscious of it or not.
