We are the way-showers.

What have you experienced in weather?  Extreme wind, lots of rain, no rain, lots of snow, tornados, extreme heat for the time of year, extreme cold for the of the year?  Have you seen the news lately?  Did you notice that there are a lot of stories about bullying, racism, Autism,  war atrocities, attempts at peace making, politicians exposed for their true selves.  Remember to stay positive about these things.  Look at these phenomena for what they are, the dying throes of ways that no long work.  Just as a wound often has to be opened, exposed and cleaned before it can be healed, that is what is happening to our world.  If we allow our anger and fear to take over we will only prolong the birth of what religious writing has called ‘the new Jerusalem’.  The dawn of a peaceful planet needs our belief in it.   Others need to see and feel our personal vibration of peace, love and harmony.  Others need us to support their own awakening to a positive world and a positive life.   We are the way-showers.  

That is why we come to earth....

Life on earth is all about duality.  Which is why there are potentials for such extremes of experience.  
The place we come from considers earth a hard place to be and yet the place where we can learn the most.  It's difficult to overcome some of the obstacles that are placed, that we place, in our paths.   We make the choice to come here knowing how difficult it can be.   The earth, the duality, living here, making choices, attempting to overcome obstacles and we still come.  Over and over again. 
“You are here to enable the divine purpose of the Universe to unfold. That is how important you are!”
― Eckhart Tolle
That is why we come to earth... over and over again....

An Irony of Extremes...

Norway and in particular the city of Oslo, has become a place of irony showing us the extremes human are capable of. 
Norway is home of the Nobel Prize.  Alfred Nobel was an engineer and inventor with many inventions the most infamous of which was dynamite.  Approximately 8 years prior to his own death he read his own obituary in a French Newspaper.  It was actually his brother that had died but the newspaper had gotten it wrong.  The title of the obit was “The Merchant of Death is Dead”.  Being called the Merchant of Death disturbed him and he changed his will and started what would become the world renown Nobel Prize. 
On 7/22/2011 Norway became a place of tragedy, in which a great bomb blast and the shooting of many children showed us the other extreme humans are capable of.
This is another example of fundamental belief carried to an extreme. 
All religions are a result of the human search for God and all religions have a basic belief in Love.  
What is it about humans that make us so capable of such destructive behavior?  And yet we are capable of the best of behavior, generous and loving and caring.
What is your reaction to this tragedy?   Will you react in Love and compassion?
