Earth Quake Hits Haiti Seatbelts on Rock N’ Roll Are We Awake Yet! Suzanne Lewis, Editor Yesterday the news broadcaster interrupted the program to announce a major earthquake had hit Haiti. In less than 24 hours a grim picture of reality is forming. The poorest nation in the world crumbling with ongoing quakes. It’s limited communication broken, its capacity to handle the hurt, the hopeless, and the hungry impossible. Information gained by cell phone internet human-to-human expressions. Such a dynamic situation – a metaphor possibly of our current times. The US is ready to transport people and supplies but they need a safe place to land. Meanwhile the source for real information about the disaster is coming from the people there – not the government. Energetically we are all one. AS someone who has recently undergone a disaster and harm and lack of immediate medical intervention, my hackles are up. I am tuning into a cosmic channel of prayer. I am calling on all available guides and helpers to comfort and strengthen the hurt. When dear friend suggested during a spiritual consultation after my accident, that possibly I filled a “martyr role”, I scoffed at the idea. Christ died for mankind; Mother Mary surrendered her personal destiny to bring forth a martyr. Through the past six months I have gained a perspective how necessary it was for my soul’s growth to personally experience cataclysmic harm and injury so that I can intimately align with all others on this Earth who are similarly hurt, wounded and challenged to survive. While many have died from their crisis, I was spared. I am alive and somehow that is important to be known. We can go through major debilitation and we can not only survive but thrive. In past Shamanistic Trainings, I would practice journeying to disasters, war zones, the worst scenarios of human misconduct. The Shaman has to train to safely observe the worst, so that they can engage with their guide or ally’s and let them do the bridging to mend a being’s broken nature. If a trainee fails to work with their guides and instead personally/egoically invests in the harmful states, that trainee can be greatly hurt. Even though I have a confidence in my training and translating capacities—the necessity to be a witness, a wise council, is essential. This detached wise place is the opposite of being the martyr—losing one’s self for the sake of others. In the initial months of repairing from being crushed, I would find myself replaying, reliving the accident almost with every breath. The energetic field of loving prayer and attention fortified my soul to lean into something greater than myself. I pray the Haitians receive that wrap of caring, felt attention. Within an hour of writing the above observation, I heard our president say to the Haitians, … I’ve heard that many feel forsaken, but I am here today you will never be forgotten. We are coming to your aid… We are a global family, we are all the same at some energetic spark level. In the law of the circle, the wholeness, we are as strong as the weakest link. Haiti, is the weakest of weak members in our circle of life.
