I believe in the interrelationship between the mind and natural disasters. It is a relationship that has no beginning nor ending, as the law of cause and effect has been in action for eons. I believe that if the mind is calm, the universe will respond in the same way; and vice versa. Then how can we explain the fury of Nature, such as last week's tsunami and earthquake in Japan? Did humans' devilish and destructive mind play a role in that disaster? Are humans collectively responsible for such a catastrophe?
Conventional reasoning may help explain the visible and the obvious. The Pacific volcano fire ring is waking up, for it is its due time. Japan is located within that fire zone, and it is impossible to avoid the disaster, despite Japan's state-of-the-art atmospheric technology, forecast equipments, and experiences in dealing with earthquakes and tsunamis.
Ultimate insight may explain what is beyond the visible and the tangible. It may help us open our eyes to see the cause and the effect, or the huge impact of the disaster not only within Japan, but also all over the world, and possibly the vast universe. In fact, every being and event on earth and in the universe, could have played a role in this process. It is because of our limitations that we are unable to explain the causes of what has happened.
However hard we try, our scientific and technological advance seems to be nothing. Compared to our ignorance, our so-called "progress and civilization" is but a very tiny grain of sand in the ocean.
