Individual and mass events

Now there are many who believe in the official story of consciousness and your world. They try to explain world events in terms of religious and scientific reasons. Recently, 35,000 people(maybe more)died in the China earthquake. Nobody can expect such events happening. However, I sense that there is an expectation within the people who died: they expected freedom, a kind of liberation from the tick-tock realities they are enslaved too. Their emotional realities were hidden from the world. What did they believe about themselves and the world? And the children? What did they feel? The families and people hit were the lower-middle class of China. They were families struggling to take care of their children and provide them with the best their educational system had to offer.

The media rushes to report the events: how many died, how much it is going to cost, what will the governemnt and its leaders do, and the other familar voices and faces that will be involved. It is as if though a cosmic play is being created by those involved through a complicated network of beliefs and ideas intricately woven through many souls.

Here is where I break away: we have not looked closely at the power of expectation and thoughts. We are living in a world that is bombarded with news reports on the TRAGEDIES ABOUT THEM. We wake up and read reports after reports about THEM-look at what great tragedy happened to them. And so what does this mean?

We live in a such world where we teach the power of personal reality and the power of the individual and thoughts. I think what we see in other countries is the power of mass consciousness to create and experience events. This is what the group can do: create events as a group consciousness. In America, we act individually and have to learn to be a family whereas in other countries they cannot afford the luxury of such individualism. Teacher and author Stuart Wilde once said, 'The wealth of a nation is the individual man.'

Though we preach democratic ideals, these ideals about the rights of the individual have been eroded by limiting ideas such as the belief in a flawed self, the sinful self, good and evil, might is right, any means necessary to achieve an end, survival of the fittest. And perhaps the most pervasive belief that we are taught is that the self is limited and that we are flawed.
