Future Predictions: Mass Disasters and Personal Power

When we think about something like hurricane Katrina or the tsunamis that often occur in different parts of world, events that cause the death of thousands of people at one time, it is difficult to not believe that we are all just helpless victims of fate and the tides of change. In one swift moment, thousands or more people can die, be forced to move to an entirely new place or experience other kinds of calamities.

When we think about something like hurricane Katrina or the tsunamis that often occur in different parts of world, events that cause the death of thousands of people at one time, it is difficult to not believe that we are all just helpless victims of fate and the tides of change.  In one swift moment, thousands or more people can die, be forced to move to an entirely new place or experience other kinds of calamities. Where does our sense of personal power come into play when such events happen in the world on a daily basis? The very nature of our insurance industry is based upon how much we will pay to have some peace of mind about the negative possibilities that we could experience.

The recent movie, The Secret, was all about our power to create our realities. How does this philosophy jive in a world where seemingly anything can happen to anyone at any time? Is there a way to protect ourselves against such disasters? Can a person rise to a place where those sorts of events will not affect them? To find the answer to that we must be willing to take a deeper look at these mass events.
 
Though I don’t think it has ever really been done, I have thought for a long time about the possibility of doing research in this vein. Imagine interviewing all the people whose lives were touched by a major disaster, such as the one that occurred on 9/11. For the people who died, I would interview all their surviving family members. I would first ask if the person who died had any premonition or future predictions of the disaster or any sense that their death was imminent. Then I would ask whether their life was at such a place where they might have felt they had no real reason to live on, for example, some of these people might have been 52 years of age and have decided on a soul level to check out. Were there any indications of this noticed by those who survived them? I would also ask the survivors what the effects of the death of their loved one had upon them. Were there positive results ultimately from this tragic event?

I believe that if someone dies in a mass event like this, that the individual had a particular reason for being part of it. We may never know the whole story, especially because those that perished are not here to tell their story. In each of these mass events, there were stories of sacrifice for others, of great courage, and I am sure, stories of how those affected came to accept what happened.  In other words, for each individual involved, whether it was someone who died or survived, there was a unique perspective, a unique story of how that event was woven into the fabric of their life, and how ultimately it had positive effects upon them.

I may appear to be a Pollyanna about such matters but I can never believe that bad things happen to good people for no reason. I will never relinquish that I am the author of my life. Whenever I seem to be the victim of some event, I adopt the attitude that there is still something that I need to understand about what happened, never that I was the victim. Ultimately I have always found the truth and it is always a loving beautiful one.

I have to take a look at Karma first and foremost. We do not fully understand it. Sometimes Karma is instant and sometimes it spans lifetimes. Some events that occur in this lifetime, actually I would prefer to say most events in this lifetime, were set into motion in a prior existences. We are not usually given the understanding to know the reasons behind all the things that happen to us. This is especially true when we are in our first 45 years of life. I have found that we experience mostly past-life Karma in the first half of life. And perhaps it is for this reason that we are susceptible to the notion that we are victims of a world we never made. Our parents, our childhood, along with all of its major events, all of these are more of an expression of the Karma that we brought with us than of Karma we remember creating. But once we reach Age 45 our lives are more governed by the actions we had when we were younger. Some people, around Age 52, realize the damage they have done and decide to check out in one way or the other. Some of us become bitter in our mid to late life and we spend most of our time running away from the ‘terrible’ things we have done earlier in our life. But still, I do not believe any of us are victims, even to our own Karma. After all, we are the ones who created it, even though we do not remember when.

In mass events I am sure that some of the people who perish do so because of past life Karma. There is no real way to determine it but generally we would consider younger people who perish to fall into this category. As adults many more possibilities open up. Some die to experience what it must be like to make a great sacrifice – perhaps in the time of crisis they gave up their own life to save the life of others. This occurred to one of the teachers in the recent killing spree at Virginia Tech. He could have saved himself but chose to save his students and ended up being killed by the gunman afterwards.

In conclusion it is my contention that in mass events and disasters, each individual is playing out a unique role (you can also find out in your destiny cards through card reading for their own personal growth on a spiritual level. No one is a true victim. It just appears that way on the surface. But I believe that if we took the time to really look into it, and if there was some way for the dead to speak, we would discover that what appeared to be a disaster was actually a blessing for all concerned. After all, it could not have occurred unless it was the will of God. And the God I know always loves.
