I cannot count the number of times I have read statements, "No one could have foreseen such a devastating tsunami" .. but it was written in stone and the markers were place along the shoreline warning the people of 'tomorrow' .. today.
The Native Americans lamented the destruction of their connection to the 'wisdom of their ancestors'. They said: Our people will be lost - disconnected from their path - not finding their way. Finding their way where? Into the future...
Hundreds of stone markers dot the tsunami coastline of Northern Japan, some of these markers are 600 years old. On one stone warnings are inscribed: "If an earthquake comes, beware of tsunamis." Read More...
In Aneyoshi, a single centuries-old tablet saved those who heeded its warning: "High dwellings are the peace and harmony of our descendants," the stone slab reads. "Remember the calamity of the great tsunamis. Do not build any homes below this point."
The 'ancestors' have not gone anywhere, they are still here and they are watching us. The only problem is people today cannot see them or don't want to see them. People on Earth today are seriously disconnected from reality.
Young Japanese children who 'see ghosts' are now treated as as a problem, they are given medication and are viewed as an embarrassment to the family. This is happening on the Island that gave us Zen and who up until recently were connected to their ancestors in a fundamental way for thousands of years.
What is a 'ghost'? Well, just outside of the visible spectrum is a longer lasting reality that can be described as the ground of the spirit world. Physical matter is rooted in and grows out of the world of spirit. When the physical world is destroyed the spirit bedrock still exists. The spirit worlds are 'eternal'.
The spirit worlds can see us (3D physical world); but we cannot see them. That is not exactly true, a small number of humans can see the worlds of spirit and communicate with the ancestors. There was a nice little example of that recently from BLEACH 316 1/2 Eng Sub -*- 316 2/2 Eng Sub
Those who do not want to remain disconnected from the ancestors and the reality of the spirit worlds may get a few ideas from reading or watching Tite Kubo's BLEACH series... But the spirit world is also reflected in every flower, blade of grass, tree, bird and animal. The spirit world appears elusive; but it can be found in the cherry blossoms, in the mountains, rivers and fish. Most of all the world of spirit is found strongest of all inside us, its spirit reflected in the wisdom of the heart.
Where do you think our creativity comes from and why so many people have lost their creative skills? We have become the homeless orphans of the universe, disconnected, isolated and lost. So, in 2011 the headline: "Tsunami-hit towns forgot warnings from ancestors," really applies to the whole world of man.
Here is another 'warning' no one listens to:
Jabiluka's sacred power 'must never be disturbed'
Senior traditional leader Yvonne Margarula says her late father Toby Gangale warned the Australian government in the late 1970s the Djang "might kill all over the world" if disturbed at Ranger, a uranium mine that was built in Kakadu National Park despite opposition from traditional owners.
"No one listened," she said.
