A spiritual question about the oil spill in the gulf...?
The outer reflects the inner...that is, the macrocosm reflects the microcosm. When we see what is going on in the gulf in our external environment, what clue does this give us in being able to internally root out our old energies that no longer serve us? The oil is gushing out into the ocean...what is going on inside of us that manifested this?
Sure Alex :)

It is a physical manifestation of Greed and Money lust the dark side of capitalism, the need circumvents the risk, bottom line we as consumers spend trillions in gasoline, and petroleum products, we know they kill us, and the environment, yet we still want to drive, have tupperware, plastic parts both internally, and externally, and we just don't want to give up our luxuries, and since Gasoline is not government regulated or enforced, it still remains the highest profit item the world consumes, without reservation. As long as we don't live in walking distance of our jobs I believe Gasoline is not a "profitable" item, it is necessary to do business in the 21st century, hence not an item that we should make a profit on. Also we don't need one more drop of Oil if we as citizens start pushing the government that is supposed to represent the best interests of the common folk, to exploit our largest natural resource in the United States and also the world for that matter, and create environmental standards for pollution control for COAL, yes Coal can be turned into fuel, with minimal damage to the environment, except where the coal is which will be mined out. We could sustain for 100's if not 1000's of years with a cheap, abundant fuel, that is just as easy to produce as oil, and even cheaper because you don't have to go to the middle of an ocean and drill, then transport it half way around the world to consume it, if any other country but ours was in control of it they would be ludicrously prosperous to the point of rubbing the world's nose in it, yet we who have a perception of children and canaries dropping dead from pictures from the late 1800's and early 1900's. The only reason we have not switched is profiteering, the Juggernauts of Industry do not control the property rights to extort through piracy whatever price they demand, there is a difference between capitalism, and piracy and the latter is what is running the world now.

The Titanic was a passenger ship, not an oil tanker. This spill is also not a spiritual or religious matter. It is a human mistake. They are going to happen as long as the lure of money continues to rule the world. How do you like your "frog" done?

As above so below. So we are witnessing the above with the oil spill…you are wondering what the below representation is. The funny thing about oil is that one man theorized back in the 1700s that it was made from plant and animal material that floated to the bottom of ancient water bodies and then sat there for millions of years. This is the explanation you see on almost every website. But you know this was only one theory and the truth is that nobody really knows where all the oil came from. Oil is naturally occurring in the earth and was around far before the dinosaurs. Ok so we have 2 kinds of oil. 1 made from dead life…and 1 that is naturally occurring. It seems to me that any way you look at it we can view oil as the blood of this planet. This would mean that what this is showing us is our behavior is nothing but vampire behavior. We are lapping up the earths blood like mosquitoes and if it werent for this excessive behavior we wouldnt be in this situation. I think its also more then clear that it is showing us that collectively it is time for a change.

edit: 3:26 they show a mushroom...red and white mushroom. This mushroom is where the entire story of christmas comes from. the reindeer would eat these...so could the locals...while using these people would often go to take a step and realize they leaped quite a distance. this is where the whole reindeer flying came from.

just thought id share that.
also it was quite interesting when he was talking about how things being so out of control is actually a good thing. we never had control in the first place so if things are out of control we are actually "winning"....

A spiritual question about the oil spill in the gulf...?
...what is going on inside of us that manifested this?
Greed, Selfishness, Laziness, Narrow mindedness,
The complete inability to grasp the big picture,
and the time old tradition of letting the King/President/ Big Executive make our decisions
for us......while we like good little stupid sheep follow ......
the path fo least resistance....and
Think about it tomorrow

Our outer manifestation is only a reflection of the turmoil inside. Too many individuals are emotionally unstable and are just acting as puppets in this life...going through their daily routine with no concern for the bigger picture. Even after this BLARING wake up call we still mindlessly walk through this manifested reality like zombies. Prescription drugs of all sorts are pacifying our nation into complacency...with not only their own life but the existence of our world. I hope people wake up and stop this rot that is destroying us personally from the inside out.

The choices we made in life are impacted by little corner of the universe; as above, so below.
When you mess with nature, the outcome cannot possibly be good. There’s a spiritual decree that suggests we can find our divinity only when we approach matters in life the way a child sees things: with awe, wonder, unconditional love, trust, and simplicity.
Life on planet earth is about cause and effect so nobody’s going to get away with anything. If we destroy the land, pollute the air, and contaminate the water it’s not going to go unnoticed.

Greed caused it to manifest. The greed of those in the BP oil industry who over looked the inspections and viewed their paychecks to be more important than the environment itself. Some people are just that greedy and rather deal with the results after rather than to take precautions beforehand.

The change of times is on land and sea, as the quake today 6.2 spoke in the small coastal village San Andres Huaxpalte-pec as Heaves sprout wings of change also the seas in the new born will coincide with the new beginning. And Truth is our knowing to walk into the new with all. For judgment is speaking and will end for the living in all creation of God.
We are being changed, the last two weeks and in to July will show even more of the move to the new. As slow is in route in the Lord.
“what is going on inside of us that manifested this” One ness-ness was missing, The Father alone saves.
Alex, what’s going to happen its coming a shore in Texas X is moving and with x comes a replacement

This brings to mind the Crucifixion of Jesus when the Roman soldier speared Jesus in the side and all of His blood and water flowed out.
So with that in mind, what is going to be the analogy when BP hits the Methane LAKE that is just under the surface? many liken it to Hiroshima since it will totally WASTE most of the Gulf coast States as the Methane Lake goes DEEP under the the Gulf-coastal states. Perhaps we are about to settle down to being a 45 state country.
One word for those in Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Georgia, and Florida ..... RUN!!!!!

A weak, greedy desire to continue along with things that we have known and an unwillingness to change energy policies or the general machinations of capitalistic mismanagement that underinvested in safe practice.
Anything 'spritual' beyond that is simply too much maryjane.
