The devastating flooding of Nepal where approximately five thousand people are either dead or missing is the latest example of Earth’s voice!  Earth warming is real and we can measure it by the rise in air and ocean temperatures. Whether this rise in temperatures is because of human activity or turmoil in earth’s interior is still debatable.

But the glaciers melting and weather changes that are taking place all over the world is an indirect message of the earth that things are going to be messy as the time goes by.

Unsustainable Living

There are quite a number of indications that lots of these events are because of earths’ “belching”.  Whether it is the rise in ocean temperatures because of large number of oceanic volcanic activity; or the changing of earth’s magnetic poles and fields which affect the charged clouds motion so that rains are falling in different places and with varying intensity – or the heating of mountain crusts which is also causing glacier melting – all these show large scale turmoil of the earth’s weather and conditions.

On top of that is our own unsustainable living that is creating large-scale havoc on the planet. They include construction of large dams, roads, and tunnels in the fragile Himalayan region. These activities together with the melting of glaciers due to global warming are bound to create worse natural disasters in the coming years.

All of this is because of the greed of the rulers in the Himalayan region, especially China. With the dictatorial regime and secrecy of their leadership they are rough shodding the region and will create floods and havoc all over the downstream areas. The world should be very wary of this havoc-creating autocratic system.        

Rape of the Himalayas                

However, as humans we can take care of our greed by stopping the rape of the fragile Himalayan region and building houses and having other construction activities far away from the riverbeds. Our greed can also be reduced by becoming spiritual.

The avalanche warnings are just ½ hour to1 hour beforehand and in that time except for going uphill little can be done. The best thing to reduce the havoc of such events is therefore to have houses quite a distance away from the riverbeds so that increased discharge of water and mud in the riverbeds does not destroy them. 

Besides these physical changes that we will be seeing in future, the earth’s gravitational and electromagnetic fields are also changing. Overall, these fields are constant for the earth as  a whole but subtle changes at the surface of the earth for different regions take place. These subtle changes in the fields become useful for guidance during the reentry of rockets and in satellite communications.

The changes in these fields could also be because of earth’s travel in space. The solar system takes ~250 million years to orbit around the center of the galaxy. During this time the earth-solar system encounters millions of other heavenly bodies which may change the earth’s gravity and magnetic fields.  

Human Thinking Affected?                    

These interactions also change the thinking pattern of humans. There are indications that human beings' thinking is affected by earth’s gravity and electromagnetic fields. It is therefore quite possible that the rise of dictators, oligarchs, thugs, and other corrupt leaders that rule some of the biggest and most powerful countries of this earth might be because of these changes in the earth’s gravitational and magnetic fields.

Though these changes are inevitable, we can minimize their harmful effects by becoming better human beings by practicing spirituality, reducing our greed, and living in a sustainable manner.
