Actress Sharon Stone’s comments about China’s earthquake and karma: What a perfect opportunity to climb up on my soapbox…

I would have to go back to my near death experience and what I learned from it. As I wrote earlier in my article about my car wreck, I was not judged as I watched my life review. It was mostly full of things that I considered to be mistakes, things I wished I had done differently, yet I was not judged. God, or what appeared to me as a beautiful Being of Light, showed me my life and surrounded me with Unconditional Love. I understood from that, that we are to treat each other as I was treated during that experience. I was shown the power of love and was allowed to experience it. Even though I was expecting punishment for the things I had done, I felt only love.

Over time, I learned that to actually feel the energy of love and visualize that powerful energy surrounding a situation really does have the power to change it. I have done it many, many times. That is not the same as being passive or ignoring a situation. I’m talking about using your heart and creating strong powerful energy that has the potential to make a huge impact that is directly proportional to the number of people involved.

Because I have witnessed this power so often, I don’t believe anyone should stand back and point a finger at someone else, no matter how destructive what they are pointing at is. That only flames the fire instead of eliminating it.

I believe each one of us contributes to what is going on in the world by the kind of energy that we contribute each and every day. Every time we judge or get angry or vengeful or spiteful, we contribute that energy to the universe. By the same token, every time we feel love for someone or something, do an act of kindness or express gratitude, we contribute that kind of energy. We are learning from studies involving quantum physics, that we are all entangled. There is no us and them. As a planet, we rise up together or we fall down together and each of us contributes to the outcome by how we feel about life.

Sharon Stone was quoted in an MSN article entitled “Sharon Stone: Was China quake `bad karma?’” on MSN’s website as saying:  “I’m not happy about the way the Chinese are treating the Tibetans because I don’t think anyone should be unkind to anyone else,” Stone said Thursday during a Cannes Film Festival red-carpet interview with Hong Kong’s Cable Entertainment News. “And then this earthquake and all this stuff happened, and then I thought, is that karma? When you’re not nice that the bad things happen to you?”

Reportedly, she had made the comments during an interview with Hong Kong’s Cable Entertainment News.

I don’t want to pass judgment on Sharon or anyone else but I do have thoughts on the subject.
It seems to me that if you follow that line of thinking, then you also have to take your thoughts to the same place when your child gets sick or falls down or has any unpleasant experience. Has your child done something bad? Have you? When there is a flood or tornado, have all of the people involved been bad? It seems to me that a comment like the one made encourages people to place blame rather than doing something positive to create more good in the world.

If you take the stance of placing blame, doesn’t that take you away from a feeling of love-the higher form of energy that has the potential to heal? You can’t create opposite frequencies of energy at once. As studies show, such as those done by the Institute of HeartMath on heart coherence, your emotions create a measurable energy that is either chaotic from negative emotions or coherent and ordered from positive emotions. You make a choice to be part of the problem or part of the solution with your emotions.

If you haven’t seen the pictures of the strawberries and read my stories by subscribing to my Peace of Success Newsletter, then this may not make sense. If you have, then I hope you are beginning to do your part to feel love as often as possible so you are emitting it to the world and not the lower energies that come from feelings of fear i.e. anger, revenge, frustration, hatred.

Positive emotions build up, negative emotions break down. Making comments that cause more dissention does little good. At least that’s the way I see it.
