Quote: Thanks, white feather, for pointing out this interesting article.
I am glad to see this summary of Buddhist attitudes.
I have a very different take on this. I think that justice is not
included in the design of the universe. Like, the Tsunami at Sri
Lanka, the earthquake at Bam Ira, and in Pakistan, and hurricane
Katrina, are nothing to do with justice or morality.
They are properties of the physical universe, which has no
morality.
Therefore it is futile to look for justice there. Trying to find it
by some kind of mental manipulation is just a silly exercise.
Justice is mainly a human invention. In psychology 101 I learned
about the mental mechanism of projection, which is the projection
of thoughts we have, onto others, that assumes that others also
have these thoughts. Humans think in terms of justice, and project
their ideas of justice onto the universe, but it does not fit.
In my objective view, the random activities of nature are not to be
treated as justice or injustice. They are just hazards that exist,
that we must accept if we are to incarnate on Earth. There is no
need to put meaning in these things that is not there, or infer
intentions on the part of some entity, when no intention is
involved. The activities of nature will merely have good and bad
results in some proportion.
There are a few times when an intelligent entity will insert some
intention to alter the expectable course of events. But that is a
special case, not the typical course of events.
I didn't read W's link, but had some thoughts on justice. Maybe justice is just balance, and i've had a feeling for a long time that perhaps what we call God/the Creator--the totality of all energy, has an innate desire for balance of its energy...
Now bringing that down to the Earth level, then nature, like God is always seeking balance, and maybe some of these natural distasters aren't so accidental but perhaps even sometimes related to how humans imbalance the energy systems on many levels.
If Atlantis, and Lemuria did exist, like E.C. and others said they did, then perhaps the main reason those lands and civilizations were destroyed was because they were so unbalanced and unbalancing the forces of energy around them?
Rosilands' guides talk about a very similar thing in her book Cosmic Journeys; how that the Earth has energy releases in the forms of what seems to be "destruction" to us, but what really are just energy adjustments... Kind of analogous to a Chiropractor pushing in spinal vertebrae to help the body balance itself.
