Someone wrote that through the crevices of catastrophe we sense the tremors of earth, perhaps referring to quakes.
But many natural catastrophes force us to recognize the ferocious blowback from a disrespected planet.
Elsewhere, that unnamed writer asked and answered the essential question: How can we best serve on Earth to affect the utmost benefit? His answer is the obvious one: One must restore the health of Earth. We must carry out the world task of regeneration.
Bear in mind that people have destroyed the resources of Earth without mercy.
They have laid waste the forests, these storehouses of energy. They have decimated animal life, forgetting that animal energy nourishes the earth. They believe that untried chemical compounds, including many pharmaceuticals, can take the place of human Qi and earthly emanations. They plunder the natural resources, unmindful that the balance must be maintained.
They do not ponder over the cause of past catastrophes. They do not consider the fact that chemical ingredients must be tested over the course of a century for a single generation cannot determine the symptoms of evolution or involution.
People like to calculate races and subraces, but the very simple idea of calculating the plundering of the planet never occurs to them. They think that by some act of mercy the weather will clear, and people will become prosperous. But the problem of restoring health does not enter their thoughts.
Catastrophes have causes; distant, proximate, understood or not, whether warned or threatened.
Foreseen or ignored.
