I find it very interesting to listen to the news concerns about the volcanic ash; the disruption of air travel, the concerns over long term ash production, and the loss of money throughout the world. Should we consider this some sort of Spiritual message, wake-up call or happening?
If the world itself has consciousness, or self awareness at some level, and it was feeling out of balance would it not want to come back into balance? Just as we when feeling sick or out of balance take some sort of action to make that feeling go away or get better; perhaps the earth is creating a blanket of ash to lower the earth's temperature. Just simply taking the easiest most effective route to accomplish the goal of cooling itself off. That would be a huge leap for many people to consider the earth itself as a conscious being capable of taking care of itself.
What if the earth is not self-conscious, and this is simply a matter of the earth changing and we are here to witness it. Then we all will need to make choices that deal with the aftermath; most of those concerns are not in the headlines.
What are the majority of people most concerned with right now across the globe? Their long term existence and survival, or the short term fix for the economy, or personal comfort? It would seem the short term if we listen to the media. But is that true?
This incident allows us to see our vulnerabilities, on many levels. From our personal behaviors when faced with adversity, to the global economic and technical.
What does this volcanic eruption mean, or symbolize to you?
