1. Toba on Sumatra is having serious Harmonic tremors, had a "9" & 8.7 last
1997

harmonic tremors indicate movement of magma.

the last time Toba erupted 75,000 years ago it ejected 3000 cubic Km of very fine ash that cause the last Ice age and destroyed the human population back to about 1200 individuals.. conservative estimates are 2800 individuals..

at the end of the Ice Age approximately 28 individuals migrated into what is now Western Europe and started that populations gene pool.

if it goes off again.. it is all over for civilization, temperatures will drop over 30 degrees and a volcanic winter will last about 30 years..

9. The only Toba I know of is in Japan. The map in the OP shows
a location way the hell east of Australia which is nowhere near Sumatra. Maybe I'm missing something...?

17. For what did The Mother bring us forth?
We have failed our sacred responsibility by losing our CONSCIOUS connection with her nature and our own.

18. We failed to be good stewards of nature, we have brains
so we have little need for food and shelter like the creatures do because we have science helping us, and with food and shelter out of the way-- we breed with out control or regard,we over populate, over utilize, decimate and kill off other species.

All with out heart or conscience.
