When storms, earthquakes, tidal waves, volcanoes or catastrophes of other kinds take place, many say, “Behold the work of God! How insignificant is man!” This is false. God never made a storm, an earthquake or a catastrophe of any kind, for God is the great Law of Love. They are all evidences of man’s power. Had man never sent out evil thoughts, wicked words, blasphemies and curses, the earth’s aura could never be so charged with destructive forces that a catastrophe was necessary to dissipate them and bring about equilibrium. Had man never exercised demoniacal cruelty to his brother man, neither the animate nor inanimate worlds would be at enmity with him. When a cataclysm takes place, instead of saying that man is but a helpless atom before the manifestations of Nature we should say, Behold how powerful is man! For it is by the misuse of this power of the Life-principle, exercised through freewill, that man has brought suffering and destruction into a world created by love.
