I just received an email from a friend in Japan reminding me that we ALL are being called to accept a higher view of our interrelatedness during this transitional time, because we all are affected by these events in profound ways. The world isn't ending, but our old worldview is.
If we are truly One Life, then what affects any of us affects all of us. This includes the stones, plants, animals, and the greater Life that we call "Earth." What's going on is about more than just an earthquake and tsunami creating a local (and potentially global) nuclear crisis. This is about our relationship to the greater Life that we are all together.
The events of this time and the next thousand days will show us that any sense of separateness is an illusion that must end. As a result of this and major events to come in the relatively near future, we are all moving into a great evolutionary leap that's happening whether we perceive it or not. These will offer us opportunities to end fear and remind us we are not separate from the life around us.
I believe what follows speaks a deeper wisdom in this time of great uncertainty. If the Warrior is also the Guardian, then to paraphrase a part of our dialog, these times call us to a deeper concern about "our collective future, and the current state of the human mind... It is all good." This is what he wrote me:
Thanks so much for your kind words. Telepathy works and I really feel your kindness deep into my heart. Here, we are all fine but a little bit concerned of what is really happening out there. As you know, the situation is not nice and extremely unclear.Pictures speak by themselves and the government seems to be unable to deal with the nuclear situation. The good news is that my Gamma Scout has NOT been measuring high radiation levels at this point in Nagano, so that is a bit reassuring....;-)
The last couple of days, I have been pondering about our preparations, what can we learn from this experience and apply it into our future community projects. Firstly, and more important, to which degree can we really prepare for a nuclear fallout? Is it truly possible? What kind of existence can we have after it falls...?
Even the survivalist, Tom Brown, is puzzled about nuclear scenarios:
".... the lack of absolutes in the nuclear dilemma is almost as unsettling as the threat itself and the wide variety of opinions and feelings this uncertainty generates is bewildering and confusing. To be honest, I have agonized over this section. I have asked myself over and over again, what can I possibly say about a survival situation like this? What practical advice can I give about preparation..."The answer lies in the question. This incident is one of our last calls to change our mind and behavior. Simply, as a species we cannot continue like this, time is over. It was over long ago... Animals and plants know about this, they have been patiently trying to guide some of us into a better existence, teaching us about stillness, telepathy and the unseen world. They know way more of what we know... And now, in this nuclear incident, who think about them, who is concerned about the dolphins, whales, and all the wild life that might be affected by a potential nuclear fallout? Not a single reference on the net. I find this funny... to say the least.
Regardless of what is happening outside I am very optimistic and in a very positive mood... how can I be in a positive mood while witnessing such devastation? Well, it simply means transformation. Nothing truly new, and as we know, we are all going through the filter in one way or another.
This morning I went for a walk into the forest. Fresh air filled my lungs, the pond was mirroring sunrise and Japanese grouses were carefully observing me. They laughed...
Here, people have a somber look. They try to contain their pain in a Zen manner, but their eyes are a window to their inner universe. I feel the sorrow, they are confused... but at this time they are stable. This is a fine line. You cannot really tell when people will start to break down. I talked a bit with one of my co-workers, her eyes filled with tears to read that Tokyo has been affected by radiation, and that Germans are starting to evacuate.
Here in Nagano, there is no gasoline; most of the bottled water and food are gone, there isn't any reliable source of information of what is currently happening in Fukushima.
A few days ago I called the Canadian and Mexican Embassies so at that moment they were quite helpful. Now they do not answer...
Like in Egypt some individuals are trying to make a difference by posting local updates of their situation. Some group brigades are organizing to go to the devastated towns, as it was in Mexico (after that earthquake). I would give a hand if there wasn't any nuclear leaking...
The nuclear equation has changed my strategy. I was contemplating this potential scenario in a couple of years. Now I have to change to plan "C."
At this moment my wife and kids are in ___________, South Japan, about 1100 km from Fukushima. I will meet them over there in a couple of days after I find someone to look after the chicks and dogs. I will observe how things evolve from there, and then decide my next move.
I have enough ThyroSafe pills and a Geiger counter. I have enough food, seeds for up to a year, chickens, a house and land.... but honestly, are these enough in order to deal with this radiation? Obviously not....
I truly admire how Japanese are internally dealing with this situation. I wonder the way Americans and Europeans would deal in a similar situation. I think Japanese are doing all the best they can. I think of lives of those engineers who are in those reactors... my blessings to them too.Here, people are very sensitive about the nuclear issue since they suffered those nuclear blasts. So, I feel that after these series of tragedies pass, something good will come out of this experience. Would it be that this time Japanese will lead the way against the use of nuclear power? Not sure...
I am very calm. Outside, kids are playing... their eyes shine while I listen to their laughs in my heart.
Some things are beyond our petty desire for control…
Much Love and Blessings

Robert,
There was a post on Huffington Post from Ric O'Barry, who won an Oscar for his film, "the Cove". He still has a crew in Japan, monitoring the dolphins the Japanese herd into the cove to slaugher. Here's a link -

Robert,
Thank you for this incredibly heartfelt observation you shared from someone so intimately intrenched in the tragegy in Japan. Thank you also for your wise call for us all to remember our ONENESS - indeed I fully believe it will be essential for the very future of human existance for us collectively to get to this understanding. My heart aches but is also filled with love and hope that there will be a new way. Of all the astro sites, yours always shines like a beacon of light.
blessing,
Joanne

I believe this super full moon which is present right at the end of pisces represents the end of an era, the era of "the love of power!" and marks the start of a new era, the era of "the power of love!"
Lets all embrace this moon and meditate on the power of love for the greater good!
Namaste

Hi Robert,
We have started a free social networking idea called Intentions flashmob--utilizing our social networks so that within minutes, hundreds/thousands of people(Virtual First Responders), will be sending strong positive intentions to balance and harmonize a stressful event.
*We don't have to meet anywhere, we're all connected."

Thank you so much.

I can also send him some seeds from the U.S. if you like!! I have lots of packets of Organic Heirloom Lettuce! Have you ever heard of Listia----it's a free online auction to exchange "stuff". Check it out----it's where I post my seeds. But in the meantime I will send you seeds if you want.Sunflowers helped in Chernobyl--- they put Sunflowers into a boat with their roots dangling into the water and their roots pulled the toxic poisons out of the water.Google it.I can send him Sunflower seeds too. We are all connected!

May the blessings of the Divine Mother rest upon us all. During this hightened time of great suffering and fear, we all are beginning to understand our interconnectedtness...We truly are One with each other and the Earth. My constanct prayer is for our collective awakening....to the Truth of who we are: Divine Spiritual Beings sharing this Earth experience as One.
Thank you Master Robert, for being the wise guide holding the Light within the srorm of transition.

To Robert's friend,
Thank you very much for sharing your beautiful words. I can guarantee you that I have not heard of the situation on the ground coming from quite your perspective, and I am humbled by it.
Sincerely,
Josie

I had not had time to read this. This is wonderful. Yes, I came to understand that I have been somewhat self absorbed in this my own hysterical response. We are all one. We are all part of this.
I am so happy that I decided not to leave. Partly, yes, I am stuck a bit.
This is my home right now. Maybe not forever but this is my home right now.
I realized how can I be so short sighted. I can only imagine how hard it must have been to watch a huge wave of water coming into your town and having to flee for your life or hearing that explosion go off maybe near your home in Fukushima. I am safe, I am healthy, I had a meal just an hour ago.
Thanks for this great post. I feel like this is a kind of test in a way.
We shall all learn so much about what is real and what is not real. What is the right way. This week I admit I did not act the right way. I think I may have severed a family relationship due to my innapropriate behavior. I wish I could have changed my reaction though.
I think, for the time being I am here committed to helping the Japanese people have some hope and try to offer some services and do some charity work.
Your friend Robert is a wonderful wise person. I am happy that I have the luck to have such other people like her in myself in my life right now.
Anyway, putting everything back into perspective. Becoming more of who I am.
that is all
