Abraham: HOW SOURCE SEES NATURAL DISASTERS – Esther & Jerry Hicks
Excerpted from the DVD “Abraham Abroad: The Abraham-Hicks England & Ireland Tour”. Abraham, translated by Esther Hicks, addresses a question that is asked regularly: What is the role that individual Law of Attraction plays when large groups of people are involved in Earth Change events?
Recorded May 17, 2008 in London, England shortly after the May 2nd Burma typhoon (the worst natural disaster in the history of what is now called Myanmar, with an estimated 138,000 deaths) and the subsequent earthquake in China (that occurred 10 days later in the Sichuan province and killed an estimated 68,000 people).
Esther & Jerry Hicks have been creating and distributing the Abraham material for nearly 25 years, and are the authors of numerous audio recordings, videos, and books based on the Teachings of Abraham. Their books routinely make the New York Times bestseller list, and their latest book – entitled “The Vortex: Where the Law of Attraction Assembles All Cooperative Relationships” – is also available in CD and DVD forms.
Esther explains that Abraham (no relation to the Biblical figure) is “Non-Physical Source Energy” – which she also identifies as her “Inner Being” or “Soul”. Esther doesn’t prefer to use the word “channeling” to describe her process, but understands if others do.

Operational Preparedness : Exercise High Mark-1989 and Zarb-e-Momin – Part 3
Exercise High Mark-89 was held from November 14 to December 23, 1989. The aim of this exercise was to create a realistic operational environment for the full range of air operations and to employ all participating units in their war roles and to identify weaknesses affecting mission accomplishment. With the overall deployment in mind, the exercise was structured in a manner which ensured that besides achieving the desired aim, maximum air support was made available to the Pakistan Army’s major exercise, ‘Zarb-e-Momin’.
The exercise was conducted on a two-force concept. The AOC, NAC commanded Blueland Air Force (BAF) from his battle headquarters located at Chaklala, while the AOC, CAC commanded Foxland Air Force (FAF) from his battle headquarters at Sargodha. The exercise was conducted in three stages. Counter Air Operations (CAO) including DACT were designated as Stage-I, weapons delivery as Stage-II, and land support operations as Stage-III. The respective force commanders were given the freedom to plan and exercise their allocated assets in Stage-I and Stage-III of the exercise. Stage-II was controlled from the Command Operations Center (COC). The overall battle scenario was portaryed as that of Exercise Zarb-e-Momin and accordingly the air assets were divided to suit the requirements of the exercise.
The exercise commenced with the declaration of Phase -I on November 14, 1989. Phase-II was declared in November 22, 1989. The movement of squadrons took place according to the schedule. A total of 1,083 fighter sorties were flown during the deployment and Phase-II operations. Phase-III was declared on 30 November 1989. The phase lasted till December 22, when the exercise was concluded and unit re-deployed to their peacetime locations. A total of 5, 236 sorties were flown by both the air forces (BAF and FAF).
The counter air operations phase was spread over five days. During the first two days, the BAF was largely on the defensive. The next two days, the FAF was on the defensive and on the fifth day, both attacked each others VPs and defended their own. An important feature of CAO was the employment of electronic warfare assets. This was first exercise where Falcon DA-20 along with ESM and ECM equipment was used. The major lesson was that EW equipment required frequent testing and also that its operational employment was required to be integrated with the overall air plan.
At the end of the CAO phase, with a day’s gap for change of configuration, three days were devoted to DACT, which was controlled by the COC. Over 800 sorties were planned but only half of them could be achieved due to bad weather. A night ground defence exercise was conducted at Sargodha. A group of 105 SSG troops and 14 PAF commandos raided the base defended by 842 personnel, consisting of GCs. Provost, MODC, and technicians. A RRR exercise was carried out at Rafiqui. This exercise pointed out to some deficiencies in the equipment, material, and more importantly trained manpower. Balloon barrages were deployed at Sargodha and Rafiqui without encountering any difficulty.
During this stage, 796 ground attack claims were made of which 761 were awarded, giving a success rate of 95%. Targets included bridges, tanks, armoured vehicles, transports/convoys, troop concentrations, logistic installations, railway stations, trains, rail/road junctions, landing pads/airfields, aircraft on the ground, and radar sites. Cumulative air-to-air missions amounted to 535 enemy aircraft. Against those, 515 kills and 24 damages were awarded.
Exercise ‘Zarb-e-Momin – 1989′ provided a rare oppertunity for the PAF to participate in a field exercise involving an Army field headquarters consisting of mulitple corps. Active involvement of the PAF and the Pakistan Army formations in strategic and tactical planning was very productive in creating a mutual understanding of each other’s capabilities, limitations, and concepts.
An important lesson of this exercise was that the requirement of planning and committing air effort in support of Army operations is a task fraught with complications. The planned commitment of air support becomes totaly irrelevant to the actual requirements during operations as the battle unfolds. However, the close-support procedures, integration of Army Air Defence assets with the PAF, and tactical reconnaissance with real time information on targets, emerged as the issues that needed to be tackled at the inter-Services level. Since then a lot of water has flown under the bridge! [Bibliography: The Story of the Pakistan Air Force 1988-1998]

Aniruddha’s Academy of Disaster Management aka. AADM (website: http://www.aniruddhasadm.com)
AADM a trained, responsible and compassionate response.
Disaster strikes uninformed, enhancing thereby the intensity and magnitude of its impact.
Disaster strikes with full impact where unpreparedness prevails.
So managing and coping with disaster is not a post-occurrence activity. It begins by dealing with unpreparedness, by imparting education and awareness and thereby equipping the common citizen. Imparted education and trained skills along with a positive spirit can and do help to emerge out of a disaster.
Prepare we must for a glance over the recent past brings to the fore horrific instances like the 9/11 episode. This one too struck uninformed and caused ruthless destruction. forcing every nation in the world to reflect over its protection and to consider afresh, its future political policies
Prepare we must for the future is going to be no different. Over the next twenty to twenty-five years, conflict will become an aspect of everyday events. Values based on theory or principles will have no place whatsoever in this conflict and survival of the fittest will be the only commandment. We are talking about an inevitable Third World War the gigantic manmade disaster which seems to be knocking on our doors.
In 2001, under the auspicious guidance of Sadguru Shree Aniruddha Upasana Trust, the idea of starting an Academy of disaster management took effect. It was Param Poojya Sadguru Shri Aniruddha Bapus divine foresight and vision that gave a concrete shape to the initiative. The AADM was incorporated in April 2005 as a charitable organization with disaster Management as its primary cause.
Selfless Service on the path of Bhakti:
Today, AADM is the preferred choice of all NGOs to provide competent support to the core emergency services during a disaster emergency to carry out relief measures (AADM Response) and also during festivals and public events due to their efficiency in managing huge masses (AADM Mitigation). AADM has also undertaken projects such as Vermiculture and Pulse Polio Vaccination drives for the general welfare of society.
The strength of AADM is its commitment to the cause and to fellow beings, its strength is its conviction and its faith its spirit.
Over the years, AADM has been offering its Devotional Services to many events held across the state of Maharashtra without charging any cost to its beneficiary. For more information please do visit our website here – http://www.aniruddhasadm.com/MainPage.htm?MenuID=AboutUs
