No, these two points in the post heading are not connected - well, not as I'm going to write about them, anyway.
I'll begin with the first point.
You, back when we were gatherer-hunters, you could die through not gathering or hunting enough
(largely through the gathering and hunting being poor during winter in temperate climates and the end of the dry season in tropical climates), or through being injured or even killed while hunting (or gathering - things like snake and spider bites). later, when we became ... "civilised"
(grrr!) by developing agriculture, you could still die from lack of food, most commonly towards the end of winter/dry season.
Now, if you look at the amounts of adrenaline and stress we live with, you could die all year round.
I know I have a tendency towards levity, sometimes somewhat ... inappropriate, but I'm actually serious when I write that. In this day and age, most of the people on this planet
(including those outside the developed world) have a stress level that is FAR higher than our bodies were evolved for. I'm currently in a job situation where, because of economic downturn, my job security is not good
(nor that of my colleagues), and the effect of that is major. ONE of the many effects is that it switches my body into survival mode, and I have a craving for what used to be survival foods when we were gatherer-hunters - salty, fatty food. If I fight that craving, I have my body screaming at me
"YOU'RE GONNA DIE GIRL - EAT!!!!"
You know, this could be one of the reasons things like diets and watching types of food consumption don't work for many people. The ones who develop and make those recommendations tend, in my experience, to be somewhat logical types, and they have no problems having their mind overrule their emotions to eat sensibly and feel good about it. The other 99% or so of us tend to be more emotional
(whether we show it or not), and for us, the screaming message about being about to die, a message based on our biology and the couple of million years or so we as a species were evolving and living as gatherer-hunters and the several thousands as an agricultural mob before the industrial age started a couple of centuries ago and stuffed a lot of things up
(not everything, mind), is louder than any silly little words of logic.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
Yes, we probably could and should do something about that conflict - but we should
EVEN MORE IMPORTANTLY, do something about the lifestyle that leads to such stress.
I HATE the fact that so many people are so utterly divorced from such simple things as the seasons - and I recently posted a link about what artificial light is doing to us.
We need to make changes - even if we make those changes to get over the crisis of climate change, we still need to make more changes to get our consumption down to what the planet can SUSTAIN, and then we need to make the sort of changes I am alluding to here: to stop being so divorced from physical reality, meaning nature.
We need our Earth Star chakras [1] to be functioning as they were intended to.
Now, the second part of the post heading.
We recently had a "freak" accident nearby, in
Westgarth Street, just a few kilometres away, in which a car - an expensive car that wasn't speeding - struck a parked car, wound up wedged between a tree and a fence, and then burst into flames, killing those on board
(see http://www.theage.com.au/victoria/fishtail-link-in-fiery-triplefatal-car-crash-20120504-1y2w7.html). The fire was so intense that the authorities weren't initially sure whether three or four people were in the car - it was a horrible, human tragedy. I've had friends who've lost family members in accidents, and one of my family members lost a partner in a car accident: it is a distressing thing to have happen.
But I'm starting to wonder ... this is not the first time that a "freak" accident has happened in this street. Not that long ago, a woman and her elderly mother ran off the road into a very steep ravine, and were left hanging upside down in the car for 24 hours
(sadly, the mother passed away).
Why?
Yes, I know there is all the stuff on the physical level to consider, such as paying attention, but I wonder if there is something on a PSYCHIC level to consider as well?
Some years ago, apparently Druids were invited to place a stone to fix some energetic problems on a highway in Britain
(I couldn't find a link for the original story [I may one elsewhere on my blog], but see here for rumours that something similar is being tried in Austria - and here and here also). Could something similar be happening here?
There are two possible scenarios to consider here.
Firstly, a major road in the area has recently been changed to favour public transport over private (which is a change that I favour), but, since major roads tend to becomes conduits of human energy
(an idea I first came across in an interview with PAN's then [and possibly still] President David Garland, when he was discussing where PAN chose to hold its public rituals [the posts here and here might also be of interest, but I couldn't find the original interview]), has this change disrupted a human ley line, and the scattered energy be contributing to random problems - such as distraction while driving?
(I'd probably need to see police statistics before construction started, maybe before planning started, and after construction was completed, to be able to assess this.)
Second scenario: this road passes the
place where
John Batman, one of the
founders of Melbourne, is believed to have signed the
treaty with local people to obtain land to found a village on. That treay was subsequently rejected by the Government of New South Wales, as white settled Australia was then, based in Sydney, on the grounds that (a) Batman didn't have the authority to make treaties on behalf of the Government
(true enough), and (b) the land was vacant crown land anyway - which is the heart of the terrible, terrible, terrible lie described as "
Terra Nullius", a policy which claimed that the people who were clearly living in the land and fighting (very effectively, it must be said) against the white invaders, did not exist.
(I am appalled that it took until the 20th Century before indigenous people were included in the Census as human beings - see here for some information.) Given the genocidal treatment whites dished out to the owners of this land, could that be coming back to whites, perhaps karmically, perhaps through one of the points of entry by whites that is, given the subsequent behaviour by the white's government, notoroious - i.e., where Batman signed that treaty?
Either way, or even if something else is at work, or a multiplicity of factors, perhaps that surprisingly quiet street needs some psychic work done to improve it ...
And now, some reading links ... just in case I haven't given you enough to think about :)
And, from "The Age" and it's related media stablemates:
And this coming week will also be busy: I'm working on clearing around 30
uncooperatives from northern Africa, major entities (not all human, I must say) who have soaked up the pain of all who have suffered in the Shara, and tried to keep earrthbound and enslaved many of those who have died. I came across the term "phobophage" in Jim Butcher's Dresden Files series that I am currently reading, which means someone who feeds off fear: there needs to be a similar term for those who feed off pain - maybe cruciophage?
Anyway, we
(the Ranger and others and I) are working at freeing those who have been enslaved and helping them to pass over
(each person thus freed weakens their masters), and working directly at clearing the negative energy of the negative emotions that led each of these 30 entities to be doing this evil. I cleared 3 such entities from someone in South America recently: that was good practice for these ones :)
(not that I actually needed more practice - I'd done quite a few such clearings in North America [the US, specifically] just beforehand, but it never hurts to keep one's skills sharp :) ) The benefit when we finish is that they will stop working to maximise the misery in that part of the world: they have been trying to make people
not help address the famines and droughts in east Africa
(by interfering with the energy around media reports, for instance, to bias those who read it to be compassion-weary) and by trying to warp the Arab spring by creating trouble creating new governments, fostering reactionary attitudes, etc.

May the world of commerce & business be recognised to be a servant, not a master, of the lives of people.
Notes:
- From my post The Secret Scienc of Hugs:
This chakra is located in the aura, around 6" (sorry - 150mm) below the
feet, and (going from memory, as I couldn't re-find the original
reference) has the function of connecting us with this physical reality -
ie, Mother Earth. My personal opinion is that the lack of awareness of
this is one reason that humans as a whole tend to be somewhat
disconnected from Mother Earth. This came from one of Katrina Raphael's books.
PS - As a final point, the new interface created by blogger SUCKS. I've
written to them about it, but it has become a user nightmare - largely
because one can no longer right-click on a link and open it in a new tab
(as I have told them via their feeback page). Not happy, Jan :(
