In March 2011, the world experienced the beginning of the Fukushima nuclear disaster, associated with the Great East Japan Earthquake. A week later, Planet Waves published my article about that chart, taking the history back through numerous other event charts with a similar signature. Titled Here at the Edge of the World, the article explores the Atlantis archetype.
In that article, I wrote:
As these global events come closer together, it’s starting to feel like someone is doing all of this. I got that feeling the strongest over the weekend pondering how this extremely rare quake — the 3rd most powerful on record — struck a region in Japan just where there are numerous nuclear reactors (including others not currently in distress). When I read the phrase “rare engines of war,” I suddenly felt like I was sitting in the middle of someone else’s war.
The question is: whose war, and over what? I don’t know, but I can tell you that the atom was not split for peaceful purposes. It was split with the intention of killing a lot of people. That much is history. Most wars are fought over the usual stupid reasons — power, greed and egotism. Heck, why not? The world is ending anyway.
The next day, I received an email from Laura Amazzone, a close friend of author and teacher Vicki Noble. The email contained Vicki Noble’s description of a dream that she experienced on Jan. 6, 2011, about two months before the earthquake.
