The high atmosphere over the Arctic lost an unprecedented amount of its protective ozone earlier this year, so much that conditions echoed the infamous ozone hole that forms annually over the opposite side of the planet, the Antarctic, scientists say.

“For the first time, sufficient loss occurred to reasonably be described as an Arctic ozone hole,” write researchers in an article released Oct. 2 by the journal Nature.

Some degree of ozone loss above the Arctic, and the formation of the Antarctic ozone hole, are annual events during the poles’ respective winters. They are driven by a combination of cold temperatures and lingering ozone-depleting pollutants

The reactions that convert less reactive chemicals into ozone-destroying ones take place within what is known as the polar vortex, an atmospheric circulation pattern created by the rotation of the Earth and cold temperatures. This past winter and spring saw an unusually strong polar vortex and an unusually long cold period.

This year’s record vortex persisted over the Arctic from December to the end of March, and the cold temperatures extended down to a remarkably low altitude, the researchers write.

At altitudes of about 11 to 12 miles (18 to 20 kilometers), more than 80 percent of the ozone present in January had been chemically destroyed by late March.

The same dynamics create the infamous ozone hole over Antarctica. But above the South Pole, ozone is essentially completely removed from the lower stratosphere ever year. Above the North Pole, however, ozone loss is highly variable and has, until now, been much more limited, writes the international research team led by Gloria Manney of the California Institute of Technology.

Countries agreed to end their production of the substances ultimately responsible for destruction of the ozone in 1987 with the Montreal Protocol. However, these pollutants, including chlorofluorocarbons, still linger in the atmosphere. Ozone loss is expected to improve in the coming decades as atmospheric levels of these chemicals decline.

On the Earth’s surface, ozone is a pollutant, but in the stratosphere it forms a protective layer that reflects ultraviolet radiation back out into space. Ultraviolet rays can damage DNA and lead to skin cancer and other problems

10/01 Double Sunspot Eruption

Posted on by

DOUBLE ERUPTION: On October 1st around 10:17 UT, widely-spaced sunspots 1302 and 1305 erupted in quick succession, revealing a long-distance entanglement which was not obvious before. NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) recorded the double blast:

Since it was launched in 2010, SDO has observed many “entangled eruptions.” Active regions far apart but linked by magnetic fields can explode one after another, with disturbances spreading around the stellar surface domino-style. Saturday’s eruption appears to be the latest example.

The part of the eruption centered on sunspot 1305 hurled a coronal mass ejection toward Earth. The relatively slow-moving (500 km/s) cloud is expected to reach our planet on Oct. 4th or 5th, possibly causing geomagnetic storms when it arrives. High-latitude sky watchers should be alert for auroras.

Overall Color for the Week:    Bright Blue

This week can both fulfill your expectations and turn them all into mush.  The lesson involves priorities and focus.  You have spent enough time helping, aiding, enabling others.  Let that all go.  All of that energy and work, while seeming impotant at the time, was not truly in your best interests.  This is a week for knowing what is in your best interests.  What is not working for you and why?  Take a look at that stuff and open to the answers. They are all there.  It really is not profitable to ignore them.  Look around you at the friends and situations you find yourself in.  Are they good for you?  Do you find a sense of belonging, of camaraderie?  If not, then….  Well, I will leave it up to you.  Everything now is spinning upon, depending upon, waiting upon you.  What will you do about this?  But do not worry.  Do not feel that it is the finality.  It is what it is in the moment, and you always have choices.

On the larger scale, this is a take-nothing-for-granted week.  One of the themes of these times is the disconnect between cause and effect.  This can lead to people in the media lashing out against seemingly insignificant remarks, people in the news flaunting things about themselves that are actually not quite so seemingly, and earth movements and event s happening in random places and in not according to patterns.  This theme will also effect the political arena.  Expect some of your basic assumptions about candidates to be validated.  This recent campaign is more like an arcade game than a serious attempt to present the important issues and topics and to give reasonable and doable solutions.  Economics will be crazy this week, even scary.  There ill be news out of Europe concerning the Euro.  The area of the Sudan seems to have something at work>  Weather issues will adversely effect various countries, not just the United States.  It seems that Russia, too, is under the gun.  There is someone who is going to get themselves heard who will be putting fort some pretty bizarre predictions, accusations, and requirements.  Be alert to the news of the crops this year.  There is not a lot of good news there.  The energy of the week is such that anything can (And probably will) flip-flop and morph.  Watch the weather.  Be alert to the Earth.  So called natural disasters are increasing.  Stay centered in your heart and you will know the direction in which to go.

Sunday, October 2:    Lavender Mist

There is much in the air today, and although it is time for clarity, you will find yourself unable to see things quite clearly.  This is, instead, a day for listening, for paying attention with all the other senses.  There is much that you can learn when you open your other senses to things around you.  Take time to use your hands to feel things. See what they can tell you,  Know what smooth is.  Know what prickly is.  Listen to the winds and the voices of the birds.  Hear the things that fly in the air, the noises machines make, the rumble of passing vehicles.  Open to the smells around, and experience what they are reminding you of.  Smells are strongly attached to memories, perhaps you can take a trip to a past life.  And taste…  Savor those things you eat and drink.  Take time today to experience the world through the other senses.  And tonight, open to the knowing of your heart.  There is a message there for you.

Monday, October 3:    Light Amber

This is a day for knowing what is real and what is fake, what belongs and what is merely passing through.  It is important to take time and analyze what is being said and spoken about.  People have agendas, and today the agendas are taking over much of what is really importnat.  Look carefully at things before committing.  You may want to postpone any decisions that are potentially life chagning.  Take time to go within, center, and work through what is coming your way.  There is so much going on out there, that you will find it very difficult to concentrate or  focue.  Just because someone has the loudest voice does not mean that what theya re putting forth has merit.

Tuesday, October 4:    Frosty White

Winter is definitely coming, and today there is a chill in the air.The energies around and within are vibrating to a new frequency.  You are recalibrating yourself, and at these times, the best thing to do is to spend time with yourself.  This is a good day for knowing what it is that you truly desire in your life.  It is time to separate needs from desires, to know the differences between the two, and to choose what really is meaningful.  THis is true in all areas, in relationships, in food choices, in exercise regimes, in job options, in personal passions.  IT is time to focus on yourself, to make yoruself number one.  The waves in the air today assist you in breaking out of old patterns.  Take advantage of these and know WHO ytou are.  That is most important.  You cannot be good for anyone or anything else if youare not good for you.

Crystal energy:    Edenite in Quartaz—-The energy of this stone assist in releasing stuff.  Its connection to the Goddess energy can help to resolve issues with calming vibration.  Resonates to the heart and Crown Chakras.

Wednesday, October 5:     Purple Blue

There is something new in the wind today and an echo in the waters.  The elements are alive and active, and you will find yourself responding to them.  Expect a bit of discomfort throughout all of this.  Things are sifting on all levels, and there is no certainty to be found.  Do not look for it today.  This is a good day for putting off old stuff that you have been thinking about.  One of the reasons that no decisions have been reached is due to the fact that you are changing.  Take some time to work with yourself.  Go within, journal, paint, act, write.  The evening is a good time for conversation with those who really matter in your life.  It is time to realize that a lot of the things that you have been denying yourself are really important.  Why is it that we so often do that?

Crystal energy:    Zebra Agate—-This is a good stone for keeping around when you want to bring balance into your life, into situations, and into relationships.  Vibrates with the Root and Crown Chakras.

Thursday, October 6:    Aquamarine

The energies of the day encourage and support flow.  this can assist when you need to be in the moment and not to get caught up in the details.  Take time to look around you and you can see the larger picture coming into focus.  This can surprise, even delight you.  Also, be alert to others who are finding the same revelations around them.  People are changing, relationships are changing, patterns are changing, and with them so are personal preferences.  This is a time of coming together and breaking apart.  Today is a good time to get in flow with the tide of difference, and be open to the cues around you that let you know that you are a part of this, that you are aware of what is going on, and that you are not crazy.

Crystal Energy:    Diopside—-This stone is a friend in need, indeed.  It is there in times of stress and uncertainty to soothe and calm.  Resonates with the Root Chakra.

Friday, October 7:    Aquamarine

Yesterday’s energies have spilled over into today.  You will continue to see may of the same sorts of things happening today that you saw yesterday.  The lessons are there, and they are getting stronger.  You will feel that it is most important to be focused on, conscious of what is going on around you today.  There is a shift in the air, and you can be surprised to see things move before your very eyes.  The dimensions are very thin, very watery today and things that pop into and out of focus are actually doing just that.  Take time today today center, to go into your heart center and find the feelings that tell you what is right and proper for you at this time.  Much is going on and there are choices to be made.  Know that nothing is wrong in the larger scheme of things, however you need to set your priorities, hone you r focus, and be alert to what is right for WHO you are.

Crystal Energy:   Blue-Banded Fluorite—-The energy of this beautiful stone assist one when you are engaged in the work of the psyche and the mind.  It can aid those who are working to bring together the two sides of the brain for diamond focus.  Resonates with the Solar Plexus, Throat, and Third Eye Chakras.

Saturday, October 8:    Bright Orange

Keep your eyes out today because anything can happen.  You may find that a lot of your old expectations, thoughts, and preconceptions are being challenged by the energy of the day.  Look around you for hints of what is shifting in your life and what it is that you wish to maintain.  There will be moments of synchronicity, as well as times when someone will say something, you will see something, or feel something and it contains an important message for you.  In many ways, this is a pivotal kind of a day.  It is a day that lets in energy that can change your life.  The tears are coming, but not today.  There is time for regret for things left behind, but that must always be tempered by the perspective of what it is that you have changed and made better.  Sometimes we grieve merely for its own sake.

Crystal Energy:    Yellow Lepidolite—-The energy of this mineral opens one to the truth of one’s own life purpose.  It can assist in opening to the energies of the Universal Consciousness and linking to the Akashic. Resonates with the Solar Plexus and Crown Chakras.

Earliest Christian Engraving Has Pagan Elements

World’s Earliest Christian Engraving Shows Surprising Pagan Elements

Scholars have identified what appears to be the world’s earliest Christian inscription, dating to the second century. It is in the collection of the Capitoline Museums in Rome which could not release an image at press time. Also shown, examples of other early Christian inscriptions, copied in 1880.

Researchers have identified what is believed to be the world’s earliest surviving Christian inscription, shedding light on an ancient sect that followed the teachings of a second-century philosopher named Valentinus.

Officially called NCE 156, the inscription is written in Greek and is dated to the latter half of the second century, a time when the Roman Empire was at the height of its power.

An inscription is an artifact containing writing that is carved on stone. The only other written Christian remains that survive from that time period are fragments of papyri that quote part of the gospels and are written in ink. Stone inscriptions are more durable than papyri and are easier to display. NCE 156 also doesn’t quote the gospels directly, instead its inscription alludes to Christian beliefs.

“If it is in fact a second-century inscription, as I think it probably is, it is about the earliest Christian material object that we possess,” study researcher Gregory Snyder, of Davidson College in North Carolina, told LiveScience.

Snyder, who detailed the finding in the most recent issue of the Journal of Early Christian Studies, believes it to be a funeral epigram, incorporating both Christian and pagan elements. His work caps 50 years of research done by multiple scholars, much of it in Italian. The inscription is in the collection of the Capitoline Museums in Rome.

“Assuming that Professor Snyder is right, it’s clearly the earliest identifiable Christian inscription,” said Paul McKechnie, a professor of ancient history at Macquarie University in Australia, who has also studied the inscription.

As translated by Snyder, the inscription reads:

To my bath, the brothers of the bridal chamber carry the torches,
[here] in our halls, they hunger for the [true] banquets,
even while praising the Father and glorifying the Son.
There [with the Father and the Son] is the only spring and source of truth.

Details on the provenance of the inscription are sketchy. It was first published in 1953 by Luigi Moretti in the “Bullettino della commissione archeologica comunale di Roma,” an Italian archaeological journal published annually.

The only reference to where it was found is a note scribbled on a squeeze (a paper impression) of the inscription, Snyder said. According to that note, it was found in the suburbs of Rome near Tor Fiscale, a medieval tower. In ancient times, the location of the tower would have been near mile four of a roadway called the Via Latina.

How was it dated?

Margherita Guarducci, a well-known Italian epigrapher who passed away in 1999, proposed a second-century date for the inscription more than four decades ago. She argued that the way it was written, with a classical style of Greek letters, was only used in Rome during the first and second centuries.

Turn the Dial To Accessing, Allowing & Releasing

a message from Archangel Michael channeled by Carolyn Ann O’Riley
Friday, 30 September, 2011

Salutations! & Welcome! My Beautiful Beings of Light. The moments have whizzed by and again it is time for the monthly message.

The Creator is sending each of you a mighty Celestial Cyber Hug. Close your eyes and just allow yourself permission to feel the love wave as it washes over your Essence. Perhaps your physical body may feel warm and tingly but your Celestial Bodies will know without a doubt that you have been given the most glorious Creator Hug that you will ever remember receiving.

Physical time may feel like it is whizzing out of control within most of your moments now. It is best to work with your inner self to help stabilize the overwhelm that this sensation may be sending to your body, pushing it into overdrive.

You can help yourself come back into center and balance if you place your hands on your Solar Plexus and close your eyes. Simply bring your mind to your Solar Plexus, breathing deeply and mentally ask it to calm down. Just keep your eyes closed for another minute or two and feel the peace descend upon your physical body.

You may be feeling as though this is a tiny lull before the storm or next drama event within the Earth Plane, My Beloveds.  Take these small breather moments and learn to turn the dial to accessing, allowing and releasing to provide you with the information that you need to move forward on your Spiritual path.

My Beloveds you will constantly be clearing and releasing all those things that no longer serve your highest good. Do your clearing work daily as you lay your head down at night, right before falling asleep. Don’t take the debris that has accumulated during the day into your dream state or allow it to be kept in your physical body tissues.

If something major occurs in your day you can release it right then and there, no need to even drag those doom and gloom moments another second further. All that is required is for you to quiet your mind, give sincere intent to clear it and for a moment close your eyes, place your hands on your Solar Plexus. Through a small prayer mentally say to your Angels, Spirit Guides or The Creator, “ I am releasing to you now, I am releasing to you now, I am releasing to you now, and so it is.” Let it go My Beloveds and hand it off to those that truly can help you the most.

It is the moment in NOW where it is of utmost importance, My Divine Beings of Grace, to Access your Spiritual Support Staff, Allow your Spiritual Support Staff to assist you and Release your concerns or issues to your Spiritual Support Staff.

It is nice to also share your gratitude and the tender beautiful moments as well with your Spiritual Support Staff. This is part your Spiritual family and they provide Unconditional Unwavering Love for you and they are always there to help you walk through your life from moment to moment.

Allow this Messenger to take you on a mediation journey to help you dial in and learn to access, allow and release

Windsor, Ontario Hum

Ontario city mystified by whole lotta shakin’ underground

BY DALSON CHEN, POSTMEDIA NEWS AUGUST 12, 2011
  
Councillor Al Maghnieh looks over maps at his new home in Windsor on Thursday, August 12, 2011. Maghnieh is hoping to find the source of the unexplained rumblings that have been plaguing the area.

WINDSOR — For months, residents of south and west Windsor have been wondering and worrying about vibrations of unknown origin.

 

And now, those mysterious rumblings under the city have found a new believer — the city’s Ward 10 Coun. Al Maghnieh, who says it’s time to start taking the phenomenon seriously.

 

“It’s very present and real,” he said.

 

Maghnieh added that those who think the phenomenon is a joke or that its proponents are “crazy” need to grasp the implications in terms of health and the environment.

 

“I mean, it’s actually scary to think that this is going on and we still can’t pinpoint what it is,” he said.

 

“This is potentially very dangerous.”

 

Maghnieh said he first started receiving calls from concerned citizens back in March.

 

But it wasn’t until the early hours of Friday morning — when he’d arranged to visit the homes of rumble witnesses — that he experienced the sensation himself.

 

“It’s a very sharp, consistent rumble sound,” Maghnieh said. “Sometimes it’s like a hum.”

 

The city councillor said that at one point, he put a half-full water bottle on the ground and could see the vibrations causing ripples on the water’s surface.

 

At another point, he could hear the aluminum siding of a house rattle due to the vibrations.

 

“It was very obvious. It was very evident,” Maghnieh said. “It sent shivers up my spine.”

 

Maghnieh said he’s so far received about two dozen calls and a half-dozen emails from different people in his ward with complaints about the rumble.

 

When he followed up on some of the recent reports, two homeowners agreed to let him on their properties and investigate.

 

The time period between 1 a.m. and 3 a.m. was chosen because that’s when the vibrations are reportedly the most distinct.

 

“I don’t know if it’s stronger then or not. Maybe it’s just because it’s quieter outside,” Maghnieh said.

 

Although the Ministry of the Environment has studied the matter and has ruled out industrial sources, Maghnieh said there needs to be further and fuller investigation.

 

“You can’t have hundreds of people just imagining these things,” Maghnieh said. “We need resources. We need co-operation. We need somebody assigned to this.”

 

Now Maghnieh is preparing a map of his ward to track the location of the rumblings, with radii indicating where the rumblings have been the strongest.

 

It might not be long until the issue hits Maghnieh even closer to home: He recently finalized purchase of a house on Everts Avenue, and some of the rumbling reports he’s received are from fellow Everts Avenue residents.

 

“On my own street,” Maghnieh exclaimed. “On my new driveway, my first day arriving at my home — three different residents from three different homes came to welcome me to the neighbourhood, and the first thing they said was: ‘There are rumblings here. It’s bad.'”

 

Maghnieh said he doesn’t regret buying the house. “In fact, now I’m even more motivated to get to the bottom of this.”

Draconid Meteor Shower Peak 10/7-8

Posted on by

EarthSky’s meteor shower guide for 2011

Image Credit: Jimmy Westlake ©1985
The Draconid meteor shower might be fantastic in 2011 on the nights of October 7 and 8. Or the shower might be a washout.

The next two major meteor showers are coming up in October 2011, and there’s possible exciting news this year about the October Draconid meteor shower. That is, earlier in 2011, an astronomer predicted that the Draconids might produce a spurt of 1,000 meteors per hour for a brief time, for some lucky observers on Earth. That’s the good news. The bad news is that the moon is in the way. Still, don’t let the moon stop you. Would you want to be that guy sitting indoors watching TV while everyone is oo-ing and ah-ing over a great meteor shower going on outside – even if it is happening in moonlight? I wouldn’t either. Check the skies frequently on the nights of October 7 and 8. Better yet, go camping on those nights, and sit outside under clear dark country skies. We have our fingers crossed the Draconids will deliver for you. For more, see below.

Visit EarthSky Tonight – night sky news updated daily!

Coming up in 2011

October 7 and 8, 2011 Draconids
The radiant point for the Draconid meteor shower almost coincides with the head of the constellation Draco the Dragon in the northern sky. That’s why the Draconids are best viewed from the northern hemisphere. The Draconid shower is a real oddity, in that the radiant point stands highest in the sky as darkness falls. Unlike many meteor showers, the Draconids are more likely to fly in the evening hours than in the morning hours after midnight. This shower is usually a sleeper, producing only a handful of languid meteors per hour in most years. But watch out if the Dragon awakes! Earlier in 2011, an astronomer predicted that, this year, fiery Draco might spew forth up to a thousand meteors in a single hour. Even if the predicted outburst comes in 2011, the shower must compete with a big and brilliant waxing gibbous moon. Moonlight will surely interfere with the show. The glare of moonlight is sure to interfere with the 2011 Draconid shower, but you should try viewing it on the peak evenings of October 7 and 8, anyway, to see if the predicted outburst occurs.

Update on Hurricane Ophelia

Posted on by

 

 

11:00 PM AST Fri Sep 30
Location: 26.2°N 63.1°W
Max sustained: 120 mph
Moving: N at 17 mph
Min pressure: 956 mb

Tropical Storm Ophelia has quickly exploded to Major Hurricane Strength, now being a category 3 with sustained winds at 120 mph. It is quite amazing what wind shear can do to a tropical system. This cyclones life, until about 72 hours ago, was encountering some strong upper level wind shear that was preventing this system from developing.  At one point, it weakened to a depression with the National Hurricane Center giving it one a 10% chance of the system developing back again. Just as the cyclone weakened, upper level wind shear began to weaken and the depression quickly reorganized into a tropical storm again. About 24 hours ago, the National Hurricane Center had most computer models increasing the storm to a category 1 hurricane. Apparently the upper level wind shear was still weak and other atmospheric conditions suggested the hurricane to continue to grow and that is exactly what happened. It quickly exploded to category 3 strength. Currently the closest piece of land near its track is Bermuda. The island is currently under a tropical storm watch. The hurricane is not expected to weaken much but is expected to track east of the island meaning that the left bands of the system will cross over Bermuda. That part is where the weaker winds are located thus why only a tropical storm watch has been issued and not a hurricane watch.  Bermuda is outlined in yellow which signifies the tropical storm watch. So far no watches has been posted for parts of Canada, however that may change in the next day or two as Ophelia gets closer. The system will begin to weaken after passing Bermuda as it enters cooler waters and then turn to the east over the far northern Atlantic Ocean.

Ronna Herman on Ascension, the Intellect, and Consciousness

Posted on by

Seeking The Light of The Intellect

Ronna Herman
a message from Ronna Herman
Friday, 30 September, 2011

Beloved masters, there is an ebb and flow rhythm in the ascension process. You will experience a period of intense activity created by challenging and mind-expanding experiences, followed by a desire to turn inward and a need for contemplation and solitude.

You are striving to develop a strong Soul-consciousness, which will eventually become the dominating force within your life. Your mental consciousness and emotional consciousness were meant to be under the direction of your Soul-Self and not controlled by your ego personality. Illumination and spiritual awareness begin with the mental body / the mind. To achieve Self-mastery, it is vitally important that you seek the Light of the intellect. Conscious awareness begins when you become aware of the bigger picture so that you may see both sides of a controversial scenario. You must learn to be a keen-minded observer of life, and you must be willing to withhold judgment. A master does not need to constantly have an opinion or to always try to influence those around him/her. A spiritually evolved person is to offer the truth as it has been revealed to him/her and to encourage others to seek their own truth as it is unveiled to them.

The frequencies of unconditional love begin in the mid-fourth dimension and increase with each higher sub-dimension. Below that the frequencies are too fractured and discordant. The polarity of good and evil was not part of the original Divine plan. The Divine Blueprint was designed so that you, the Sparks of God-Consciousness, could experience duality. It was to be an experiment in diversity, in opposites, within an accepted spectrum of Light and shadow. It was never meant to be a reality of good versus evil.

The great INBREATH OF ASCENSION means that you are being urged, via the consciousness Time Seed Crystals encoded within each and every Soul, to end your descent into the lower realms and to begin the ascent back into the higher realms of Spirit. However, first you must experience and heal the miscreations stored within your physical vessel and within the astral body / plane of consciousness. You must claim ownership of your miscreations and the negative imprint you have created down through the ages. No longer will humanity be able to blame the Devil or Satan for all the pain, suffering, chaos and destruction of the past and present times. You must acknowledge and claim ownership of all your creations from the most loving, refined frequencies to the lowest, most discordant thought forms.

We implore you to let go of your old, negative, established view of death.DEATH IS NOT AN ENDING. IT COULD BE LIKENED TO A COMPLETION OF A PROJECT AND THE BEGINNING OF A NEW, WONDROUS ADVENTURE. Each lifetime has a major theme and the cast of players are specifically chosen because they have the characteristics needed for each unique part in your personal, grand production.

YOU ARE NOT YOUR BODY, YOU ARE PURE CONSCIOUSNESS encased within a costume of flesh. As you have done thousands of times before, when you leave the earthly plane, you will discard your physical body for garments of Light, and in due time you will prepare for another great adventure in a new reality. As you gain Self-awareness, you will develop a Divine curiosity and an intense desire to begin a new personal spiritual quest. You will develop a sense of adventure as you delve into the mysteries of the cosmos, and the Divine Plan will begin to unfold at your level of awareness. It is important that you understand that each major transformational, human progression involves cosmic wisdom in a new form to fit the forthcoming cycle of evolution.

The components of life and all things possible come to you as formless Seed Crystal Cells of great potential. You supply the necessary thought forms, which are infused into the dormant Seed Crystal Cells, and then you must ignite them with God Fire, the Adamantine Particles of God Light, with your loving intention.

Understanding the laws of vibration is required in order to become a master builder on the material plane of existence. You must learn to manipulate thought matter efficiently. The major requirement is developing strong, focused mental abilities.

Beloveds, now is the time for you to display your newly refined cocreator abilities, for humanity and the Earth need your Love/Light more than ever before. Remember, we have repeatedly stressed the fact that the Adamantine Particles of Creator Light must be activated with your focused, loving intention before this wondrous gift may be used as fuel for material manifestation purposes. No longer can anyone deny the fact that the Earth and humanity are in the midst of an Earth-/Soul-shaking time of transformation. The negative vibrational patterns of fear, anger and desperation are spewing out at an astonishing rate into the frequency band of astral plane mass consciousness which surrounds the Earth. Daily, it is growing more difficult for the average person to stay in a positive mode and to envision a bright, joyous future. You are in the midst of the times of great change that you, the Star Seed, have been preparing for in many past lifetimes. Again, we tell you, as a World Server you have the capability of neutralizing the negative thought forms of thousands of people who are functioning in the limited environment of the third/fourth dimensions. Now is the time for you, my earthly Legions of Light, to step to the fore and take up your blazing sword of Light so that you may do your share in overcoming the destructive dark forces of humankind: fear, judgment, greed, selfish, ego-motivated and power-seeking intentions/actions.

We understand that in recent past messages we have given you a vast amount of information to integrate. Therefore, we will condense some of the concepts into concise thoughts for your better understanding and retention:

Solar Flares & Solar Wind

Posted on by

CHANCE OF FLARES: Sunspot 1302, quiet now for three days, still has a ‘beta-gamma-delta’ magnetic field that harbors energy for X-class flares. NOAA forecasters estimate a 30% chance of such eruptions today. X-flare alerts: text,voice.

SOLAR WIND BLASTS MERCURY: At a NASA teleconference yesterday, researchers working with data from the Messenger spacecraft offered new evidence that gusts of solar wind are penetrating Mercury’s magnetic field and eroding material off the planet’s surface. The spacecraft has actually flown through plumes of ionized sodium scoured from the surface and escaping from weak points in Mercury’s magnetosphere. Click here and scroll down to “Presenter #4” for relevant data and images.

Another “scouring event” could be in the offing. The Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) observed two farside CMEs on Sept 29th, and one of them is heading for the innermost planet:

Using observations from SOHO and the twin STEREO spacecraft, analysts at the Goddard Space Weather Lab have modeled the trajectory of these CMEs. The one on the left should hit Mercury on October 1st at 02:13 UT +/- 7 hours. Forewarned, mission scientists for the Messenger probe can be attentive to the CME’s arrival and observe its effects on Mercury.

According to the CME’s forecast track, the cloud will hit Venus later the same day. The ability to forecast CME impacts on other planets is a new development in space weather forecasting made possible by NASA’s deployment of spacecraft around the full circumference of the sun.
