Hi Fadette
Here's a video interview about the effects of the supermoon, solar activity and earthquakes:

well the answer is just in a week or so....it isnt easy to admit it but Im nervous. either there s too much info at all times about everything & everywhere on the planet in this century or the Earth is indeed going through some changes.
either way this is stressing me, like everybody else I feel powerless and cant watch the TV news without crying. I hate to say, but Im glad I dont have kids to obsess about. I even sometimes wonder why I was sent on this planet! ok, self pity and selfishness here, sorry. I think I undertsand fully now why people in natural disasters and famine-prone places cant be atheists or cynical, you just become spiritual when faced with The End.
gosh I apologize for my dark mood tonight, I usually dont feel that bad but the news over Japan and nuclear risks in general are overwhelming me.
to amend my heavy post, please enjoy this most beautiful music, the artist is Jenny Hval, formally known as "Rockettothesky".
Hi Fadette
I think you are taking this too seriously. Obviously what has happened in Japan is a serious situation and my heart goes out to the Japanese people.
But life is a cycle and change is constant. There will always be disasters, it's the nature of the tectonic plates and the entire universe. Life by its nature cannot be static or fixed (like pictures from the JW's Watchtower magazine, lol). We have been for so long been brainwashed by various religious belief systems to believe that God/s or the angels or whatever are going to scoop us up and look after us; or that if we "sin" then catastrophe will be sent in avengement, and that our souls will burn in hell.
Look at history, there has been a countless myriad of disasters - climate and geologically speaking. Not forgetting ecological destruction, famine etc. But we are still here, life carries on. All my life (40 odd years) I've been told that we are all going to die from:
*Infectious plagues (in the 80's it was said that every family in the UK would have someone in it that was suffering from AIDS)
*The coming back of the ice age
*Then it's global warming
*CJD from meat
*Chemicals
*Nuclear war
*Meteorite strike
*Solar flares from the Sun
*Alien invasion
*Magnetic field reversal (that is an interesting one)
*Notrodemus's predictions - Col. Gadaffi was going to invade Europe (and that aliens were going to land on the lawn of the White House, yes published books did have this crap in it)
*Books that I read in the 1970's that oil and other raw materials were going to be gone by 2011.......list is endless and I have to get back to my business in a mo.
What I'm trying to say in that we as a species need to be more eco-sustainable, more caring of each other, and more responsive to the thing we try to deny - change. If there is a common factor that runs through humanity and binds us together - love!

well that is exactly why I am affected by what is happening in Japan. Sorry but I think you misunderstood me or I badly explained myself .
Yes I know that life isnt static and change IS life and Death is change. I believe it, feel it, live it, I really dont feel I need to be reminded of the concept of the constant nature of danger and risks that naturally belong to life on Earth (or selwhere else 🙂 ).
But that doesnt stop me from feeling a tiny portion of the pain that the tsunami survivors are feeling right now, or the terror and pain that struck those not lucky to have survived. and I feel quite normal for having a bit of compassion. Sorry if I sound defensive but being struck by the horror what what is going on there isnt for me the proof that one clings on a fixed state of things and life. I really dont think being detached and blasé is the way to deal with such things, apart from maybe trying to preserve one's emotions from being affected. and I am not implying that that is how you feel!
Also, my depressed state last night was a lot to do withapprenhension and disbelief at the lies that are being told everyday on the media and that people belive and then cling onto aggressively sometimes: namely that nucelar power is safe.
Hear this, yesterday main TV news in France: Japan's explosion was SAFE, no dangerous radiation came out of it, not many people have been told to move away from the proximity of the plant. (the BBC news: on the first day after the tsunami, radiation levels were recorded as 900 times above the normal one. and a perimetre of 60 km - now 300km - around the plant was a no-go area).
As if this manipulation of information wasnt enough, The Minister of Industry was eager to jump in front of the micros and say, to my disbelief, that what happned in Japan (nucelar wise) was not a catastrophe, but a mere serious national problem!!
thanks goodness, there are other people who got shocked by such a premature and minimilizing statement and challenged him and then today we hear of 2 more nuclear plant explosions leaving the reactors tubes open!! but the Frecnh Tv news commentor once again plays it down and says "reactor meltdown. But it isnt thought to be of any danger". I think I am dreaming when I hear this! Imagine 3 nuclear plants exploding in the UK, me think not that people will think that it's ok.
But France is, with Japan, the densest country in the world as regards to number of nuclear plants: 55!! there are all over France, if 2 or 3 had a problem, all of Europe would be affected. but it is like petrol, in the end, it is power holding onto money and a population deep down too insecure who prefer to deny the risks than measure reality for themselves.
Actually it is very interesting to see how the people the closest to a nuclear site, like the ones in South East France where the Tricastin plant had 2 leaks last summer (and now the surrounding village people must take iodine tablets, prescription sent by the Ministry of Health) are the most adamant that "it's life, one has to deal with it, and anyway we trust the authorities, because this is France". 🙂
well now there might be a referendum on nuclear power in France, and just hearing this news is making my day :003:.
Sorry for taking this post off-topic...a bit.
Oh dear, think I am feeling the same as you with this Fadette.
