I subscribe to a few newsletters and podcasts which allow me to contemplate others views and experiences. I seek this out because I know that every time I open myself up to question, I open the door to new possibilities and personal transformation. I trust that my heart will guide me to discern which insights vibrate with Light (divine wisdom; love).
Recently, I received a newsletter from the author of the book, Your Soul’s Plan, which gave me food for thought. It addressed natural disasters and the resulting deaths and devastation which come from these events. It is hard to believe that these events could be occurring for our “global” highest good, but this is what he suggests. But how?
The author explains-
In the aftermath of the earthquake in Haiti, it is natural to wonder, “Is this part of a pre-birth plan?” I cannot speak to Haiti specifically, but I will share with you my beliefs about the tsunami that struck Southeast Asia a few years ago.
My understanding is that the souls who returned to Spirit (passed away), as a result of the tsunami, looked at the state of the Earth prior to incarnating and said, “We would like the collective consciousness to be at a certain vibration by a certain point in linear time. If it isn’t, we agree to give our lives in a large-scale natural event that will result in a worldwide outpouring of love, compassion and support that will raise the frequency of the planet.”
As you may recall, that is exactly what happened. The governments of the world temporarily put aside their differences in order to funnel aid into Southeast Asia. This massive outflow of love did, indeed, raise the vibration of the entire world.
Seen through human eyes, the tsunami and the earthquake are terrible tragedies. It is only natural that we grieve; in fact, we must if we are to heal. Yet, from the level of the soul there is another perspective, one that says there is deep meaning and purpose in all we experience, even though we may not know what the purpose and meaning are. Both perspectives are valid, and healing emerges from both. After we grieve, when we are ready, we may continue our healing by shifting ever so gently to the vantage point of the soul.
We are eternal Divine Beings. No natural disaster can kill a soul. Nothing can kill a soul.
Two Perspectives
Yes, we can have two perspectives, one that is viewed with our “human eyes” and one that is viewed from an eternal, immortal existence. The “human eyes” view takes us down the road of despair, fear and deep sadness. Not fully realizing the “compassion” and “empathy” that has blossomed from the tragedy and deaths of others. From loss comes a birth of something else.
However, from the view of “spiritual” eyes it could be that the souls that agree to be part of a large disaster gladly and lovingly do so to bring about a level of transformation in our world. Love/Compassion are the highest vibrating feelings we could ever experience. They bring about healing in many forms (physical, emotional, psychological and spiritual). They are the purest emotions. While we are in the mode of coming from Love/Compassion we do not judge or discriminate. Aid and support is imparted to all. We connect from our hearts to their hearts because we put ourselves in their shoes.
This past Friday a great number of singers and actors came together to organize a telethon that was televised worldwide via numerous network and cable channels. Over 100 celebrities answered phones. I overheard Reese Witherspoon speaking to a man who was donating. She was telling him that the collective love and passion to help which was being demonstrated was just overwhelming. A Swedish man remarked “Rest in peace to those who lost their lives and give hope to those who are left stranded. We have your back!”
Currently there is a 250 foot long and 80 foot wide barge sailing from Puerto Rico, aptly christened “Barge of Hope”, estimated to arrive on Monday in Haiti. It carries over 4 million pounds of food, water and medical supplies. Many are calling it “The Love Boat”. A sign on the stern of the barge reads “Haiti, Puerto Rico is with you.” Unity and compassion being heralded.
In addition, I recently learned that after this year’s Grammy Award’s many singers will stay in Hollywood one more day to record another version of “We Are The World” in the hopes of raising much needed funds for the Haitian citizens. And so it seems that with the Haiti earthquake it will once more “result in a worldwide outpouring of love, compassion and support that will raise the frequency of the planet.”
“We Are The World”
As Confucius once stated, “To put the world right in order, we must first put the nation in order; to put the nation in order, we must first put the family in order; to put the family in order, we must first cultivate our personal life; we must first set our hearts right.” Setting our heart’s right is what these disasters seem to do for a period of time. However, the key is to sustain this Higher vibration of Love and Compassion at the personal level – YOU.
While many of you at this time may be going through your own personal “earthquake”, trust that you are going through these challenges because they will take you to a Higher place, just as the World is coming to a Higher place. Challenges (when put in the right perspective) will move you out of fear and uncertainty and into to your authentic alignment with Divine Source. This gives you the courage to transform to a “higher” frequency; permanently. The more of us that allow this Higher frequency transformation (sometimes due to “aha” moments, enlightening experiences and turning points in our lives) in whatever form we attain it, the more the World holds this frequency.
As the renown motivational speaker, Barbara Rose, once said, “Allow the head games to be washed away by connecting solely to the core of your heart center – for it is in that core where your Divine essence, and all of your answers dwell.”
Remember it is happening FOR us, not to us!
May we commit to a long term attitude of “watching each others backs”!

Great article – this really puts things in perspective. This is an amazing time in the evolution of the human spirit. Thank you for doing so much to elevate our vibration.
Victoria, thank you for taking the time to comment. I am glad that you found the article enlightening. Well with the earthquake in Chile it seems that the “message” for compassion and unity may be wanting to come forth very LOUD and CLEAR. Unfortunately, there may be many other natural tragedies and political upheavals to come. It is important to stay within our heart space and not get into our heads and get judgmental and fearful.
Instead, it will be more beneficial to ask for understanding and clarity about what is going on. Focusing on it is “happening for us and not too us” is essential. It is a time of potential great transformation for all. The old patterns which lead to much separation, judgment, fear and non-unity will be dying off. It is the dawn of a new set of patterns and beliefs. As the Og Mandino once wrote: “Search for the seed of good in every adversity. Master that principle and you will own a precious shield that will guard you well through all the darkest valleys you must traverse. Stars may be seen from the bottom of a deep well, when they cannot be discerned from the mountaintop. So will you learn things in adversity that you would never have discovered without trouble. There is always a seed of good. Find it and prosper.”
