Or are you claiming that you are a special messenger sent by God for us?

Considering the ramifications of the on going disaster in Japan, why hasn't there been any calls to evacuate non-essential people from the island?
Why are other countries not opening their doors to these people and working to get them out of there?
Japan is just a title. It is in all actuality, just an island occupied by people. They are not "Japanese" they are people. The offer should be made to get as many out as are willing to leave. This nuclear disaster is only going to grow and the damage done is just beginning. Get the people out before it is too late.
Of course, many will not wish to go. They will not want to leave behind their country, their culture, their wealth (if they have any left), and their family. These things are illusions and some will see past them. Get the people out who wish to leave.
Those who wish to save their lives will lose them
Are we mad keeping people trapped on a doomed island?
Has there been any calls for a mass exodus?
With Love,
Your Brother
51And it came to pass, when the time was come that he should be received up, he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem, 52And sent messengers before his face: and they went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him. 53And they did not receive him, because his face was as though he would go to Jerusalem. 54And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did? 55But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of. 56For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them. And they went to another village. 57And it came to pass, that, as they went in the way, a certain man said unto him, Lord, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest. 58And Jesus said unto him, Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head. 59And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father. 60Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God. 61And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee; but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house. 62And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.

Am returning home to japan to help out.. We have had other dark times in our history and earthquakes are a part of life in japan.. We will rebuild and life will go on .. Japan is HOME one does not abandon ones home when its in trouble or in need .. Duty - help when in trouble or need.. Its unthinkable to abandon the land of our ancestors and of our descendants due to nature..
We're born .. We live .. We die what matters is that we do what we can to make the world better while we're here..

What do you think? Cite me several examples of when a government or corporation REALLY did something to help a population after a natural or man made disaster. The people in Haiti are still waiting for that Red Cross money to help them, many are camped out right outside the Red Cross base there and still no help.
We radiated Japan 70 years ago, we put Japanese Americans in internment camps in their own home country, the world is sick, don't expect much improvement with the same crew running things.
You are correct my friend, the world is sick. What I suggest here, should have been done with Haiti. It should have been done with New Orleans. It should always be done when disaster strikes. We see Haitians, Japanese, New Orleanians, instead of seeing people.
We need to open our eyes soon and change our way of addressing these problems. They are only going to get worse until we do.
Every person on this planet should be regarded as your closest kin.
With Love,
Your Brother

At the rate that the Japanese have slaughtered dolphins and whales, I feel that Karma is really coming home to punish that nation. I don't think that it is coincidence that their destruction is coming from the sea. As yea reap....

God does not suffer. How could God suffer? God as Consciousness is beyond the illusion of the life/death duality. Only that which has forgotten it is God can and does suffer, and those aspects suffer constantly, not just due to tragedy. They suffer for the clothes they have or dont, the cars they have or dont, the love they have or dont, you name it. You cant end suffering by changing someones circumstances.
You would not be ending their suffering by moving them physically. You would be trading one form of suffering for another. Physical suffering for emotional. Or who knows, saving them from radiation to put them in the path of a bus.
I am also pained by the suffering of "others." My ego hates it. But I also know that the way out of suffering is not a change in circumstances, but rather the cessation of struggle with those circumstances. It doesnt mean you dont act, but you act without mental rejection or revulsion for what is. And no one can stop you from struggling but you.

Karma is coming to us all my friend. Now is not the time to judge, now is the time to open our hearts and forgive. If the judgement of God strikes a people down, it is his to decide. Ours is to help pick up the pieces.
That is my view. Your mileage may vary.
" now is the time to open our hearts and forgive " Do you really think that if the slaughtered Dolphins and Whales could forgive, they would ? You are delusional friend ?
In this vein, I suspect that the people of Glorious North Korea, who skin animals alive and in agony for their pelts will be the next to suffer a Tsunami of enddays proportions soon
With Love,
Your Brother

Depends what you consider to be our priorities as humans and keepers of our Earth doesn't it? I will just agree to disagree with you there.
