MUSIC OF THE SPHERES

There are many other schools of thought concerning sound healing and tone healing. The Lunar Visions School is being developed completely from the original teaching of the Mystery Schools of past millenniums. Lunar Visions is being gifted with this extraordinary teaching of how to become immortal and being empowered with the responsibility of teaching those who want to remember, realign and re-cognize their true reality. Most of the teachings that are still on Earth, were completely densified and lost their meaning. The original teachings clearly said the frequencies were to be created in the mind, and then in the voice of each individual.

The music of the spheres was the toning sequence used in Mystery Schools of all ancient times. The music of the spheres directly interfaces with, and activates the DNA template. The original teachings of the mystery schools said it was the voice and the mind that must be used to create the music of the spheres. It was not an instrument, it was the heart song of the individual that would allow one to fly through the universes.

The music of the spheres can never be disconnected from an individual’s temple (the light body that has been transformed into this dimensional density) and the planet, universe, galaxy, solar system and cosmos that this individual originated from and is connected with for eternity. The music of the spheres is an activation process that includes the tonal, harmonic, octave and key structure aligned through and within the crystal structure, the light structure and the energy structure of the spheres and their alignment with each other.

These toning sequences open planetary axiom lines for activating planetary shields. Simultaneously, this toning activates the DNA strands in the body template.

This has been called a spiritual geometry and it has been broken down into many units of understanding over the past eons. Most of the schools of understanding are partially or completely incorrect due to the density of the teachings. The key structure and chordal structure of the music system used in this matrix is not incorrect, but it is only a molecule or an atom of the real system of music. Most of what has been created in the music schools and in the creation of musical instruments has been done through the same control process of the fallen angelic entities who base everything on sucking energy out of other sources of energy instead of going to Source for Energy.

The element that was lost in the music of the spheres was that connection to energy of Source Consciousness. There are three elements needed for the co-creativity with Divine Mind. First we need crystal in the form of crystal light, crystal dust, crystal liquid light. Next we need Light from the Sun, which is created from the rainbow rays of infinite sources of the highest frequency of Source. Then we need the braiding of the sun’s energies from all solar systems that are included with the three matrixes of Gaia, Tara and Earth. This energy is contained in the Urtha Matrix and is streaming down it’s form of light to align with the Earth at this present time.

The third element is energy. The energy comes from Consciousness. The closer one’s consciousness is to Source, the higher the frequency of that individuals vibrations are. Each individual is a key, just like a song might be sung in the key of C or E. We understand how to tune up an instrument to be in a key. What our present musical education does not include is how to raise the frequencies of an instrument or a singer. That is the element that is lost in the musical structure; we have been told this is the lost chord. It is the energy of consciousness that is missing from our planet. This energy of raising the oscillation patterns of consciousness, which is directly reflected in the etheric quality of the voice, is what is required to get on the same wave length with the spiritually attuned matrixes.

The crystal is still here. Many use crystals for healing and activating energy. The light was divided by miasms placed in the Earth’s grids by the fallen angels. The streaming of energy was directed inward to cause a total collapse away from Source. This inward braiding of energy has caused the density of this system to go into disharmony and dysfunction.

The light energy is supposed to come out from the sun that is inside of the Earth’s core and stream up and out like butterfly wings. The suns of each planet are supposed to do this and braid and connect with the energies of each other into a grander bandwidth that carries more developed higher frequencies to create new realties from. This process has finally been set back in motion after millions of years of improper movement blocking us from the sun’s energy – the highest frequency of the universe.

This light energy coming from the Earth’s sun and streaming upward through the individual’s temple of crystal light energy can create frequencies of music, as well as light energy in the form of reading light or generation for technology. This was already shown to the Earth by Tesla. This science of co-creation will be completely restored by individuals on Earth as we begin to interact through telecommunication with those in the Inner Earth, other Subterranean Cities of Light and other Matrixes. We need the energy or light from our own consciousness restored by raising the frequencies of consciousness.

That term of consciousness, and raising consciousness has been used in metaphysical science for centuries. The understanding came to me in the recording studio. I first saw how technology could realign the voice to become more and more beautiful as negative vibrational levels were removed from the voice on the mixing board. I then started listening to recordings of my voice, and kept singing to align my voice with the voice I heard that had the negative vibrations removed. I then worked to get my original voice closer and closer to the etheric perfection that I wished to hear. I believed that this etheric frequency in my voice was also realigning every negative vibration in my body by activating the crystal cells in the temple. I worked on this science of aligning the voice to create healing for fifteen years.

After the year 2000 a greater understanding of this principle of light and sound came into my consciousness. I began to receive directions from a team of Angels and Entities of Cosmic Energy. This understanding has grown by the day and I have been keeping a journal of my understanding by writing articles each week.

Every moment there is a new frequency, a new presence, a new level of understanding. The only moment of reality that is real is the moment that we are standing in. There have been so many sciences that have based their reality on one moment of understanding and then never go beyond it. Those realities are only theories. Everything is a theory, except God. God is the only thing that is not a theory. God is always allowing his children to create new theories and then expand them and change them into a new theory. This is God’s creation. To watch his children of his mind create and grow and create again. When we have created everything that is needed to know everything that God knows then we can say we actually know something. Until then, everything is a theory. If someone tries to hand you a fact of life tell them to keep it.

The way this co-creative process takes place is called the music of the spheres. This music is used to align all frequency bands of the 15 dimensional time matrix through core vibration sound signatures.

This frequency alignment of ones consciousness with all dimensional frequencies and the alignment of these frequencies with the crystal template of the body prepares the body for passage through the star gates – or the matrix density levels.

The first rule for activating the music of the spheres was the specific layering of tones, harmonies and overtones. The second rule of activating the song of each sphere, or the drumbeat of each sphere, or the frequency of each sphere had to be done through the voice, either mentally or externally – meaning it had to originate in consciousness and then be brought forth through the breath as resting on a crystal sphere of energy in order to project the purity of the angelic frequencies.

The formula for creating the music of the spheres was given to us here at Lunar Visions to create the music for the world to hear as performed through the angelic channelling of frequencies from the angels of each sphere.

We channel frequencies, tones, harmonies and overtones from Elohim, Seraphim, and the inaudible tones of the Gardayans (Guardian Angels).

We also channel oraphim angels, which are dolphins and whales in Aquafaria. We channel powerful angels such as Uriel, the keeper of the God Source Flame, Zadkiel, another keeper of the Violet Sphere of Transformational Energy and overseer of devas, angels and other small creative entities working on creating the New Earth. We channel St. Germain as the overall director of the wisdom involved in the project. Actually, we don’t channel – they just talk to us continuously. Channelling is only necessary for bringing in frequencies from very high sources of Cosmic and Solar energies that are needed to burn through the miasms that were planted in our minds through our pineal gland. The broken cords in the streams of light consciousness (or the fallen angels) planted a seal in our pineal gland that has blocked out the light and made us think backwards for several eons. The light is becoming strong enough to remove those seals now. We must consciously let this light in however, and then know what to do with it.

There are many other schools of thought concerning sound healing and tone healing. The lunar Visions School is developed completely from the original teaching of the Mystery Schools of past millenniums. Most of the teachings that are still on Earth, were completely densified and lost their meaning. The original teachings clearly said the frequencies were to be created in the mind, and then in the voice of each individual.

There was no mention of using words – except as the words came directly from Source. Those words would of course come as frequencies. And the meaning of the words came as a feeling of the level of the frequency. The frequency of consciousness was connected to a desire. And the desire was manifested as a result of the frequency. The co-creative process of manifestation combines the desired creation as the united consciousness with the elementals, the Devas, the little snowflake creators, the atoms, the crystal particles. These little etheric creators do all of the work. They are like Santa’s little helpers. They are like little jeenies that only want to fulfil our every desire.

However, all of these elements of the Divine Consciousness must originate from the perfect alignment with that highest frequency. That alignment comes from the music of the spheres. It comes from aligning all frequencies of the voice and the consciousness with that standing wave pattern which is a magical, brilliant feeling of at-one-ment with all bands of consciousness or spheres within spheres within spheres.

The word poems that channel from the 15th dimensional self of the singer collect the spheres of all angels in her family and bring these tones, overtones and inaudible frequencies down to create heaven on Earth.

This is how we will morph into the universal consciousness in order to bring this magical hologram into our own reality system. The 13,14 and 15th dimensions are the spheres of original divine creation. These spheres contain the frequencies that we bring in through consciousness and plant into our music.

There are many schools that use bells, crystals, tingshas, crystal bowls etc. The vibrational frequencies coming from these instruments do nothing in and of themselves. What they really do is activate the frequency of the person who is using the instrument. So the instrument is doing the same thing as a singer’s voice does. However, the original teachings of the mystery schools said it was the voice and the mind that must be used to create the music of the spheres. It was not an instrument, it was the heart song of the individual.

People actually believe that they are being healed by the crystal or the drum or the instrument, when in fact they are just listening to their own frequencies. The instrument might help activate their own frequencies. However, the consciousness is the only instrument that can truly raise ones frequencies and align the voice to match that frequency. There is no instrument that can do this.

Most people do not realize this because their personal frequency level and perception of that frequency isn’t developed enough to tell the difference between a high frequency and a low frequency.

Crystals may be found that resonate more accurately in alignment with ones personal frequencies. However, that crystal is not going to raise someone’s frequencies. The person’s frequencies raise as their crystal cells awaken. The awakening must be done through consciousness, and consciousness must be aligned with the frequencies of the standing wave patterns of a higher dimension. This is how healing is really accomplished. This is how immortality is accomplished. This is how teleportation, telecommunication and staying 33 forever is accomplished.

This is also true with toning or chanting. These formulas may accidentally work only because the person becomes more aware of the innate purity or healing that is already inside of him or her. It also may work because a person believes it will work and because they are lining up with the frequency mentally. The desire of making these formulas work activates angels and elementals into activating the desire.

The reality is the crystals are inside of the body – not outside. The body is made of crystals that maintain a frequency so glorious that they sing with the music of the spheres on all 15 dimensions. These cells contain all healing power and all knowing power. These crystal cells are the Akashic Libraries that contain all of the knowledge of the Universe.

So, the reality of all tonal healing is to wake up these glorious crystal cells. It is only personal consciousness that can do this.

We are the Crystal Magic Orchestra. We pull in the music of the spheres from 15 dimensions, align these angelic frequencies through the crystal temple, put them into a crystal sphere and breath into them the tone of home to activate the EirA, Manu and ManA manifestation entities to create the hologram of heaven that is desired and then bring it into this reality system.

Continuous practice of this formula using the music of the spheres prepares the crystal temple for teleportation and telecommunication with all 15 dimensions.

On Pyramid Power

Pyramid Power

  The enhanced energy field created by pyramids has become a popular field of study in recent decades. Dr. Patrick Flanagan, an electronics genius with hundreds of patented inventions, published a book on pyramid power in 1973. He believes the five angles of the pyramid project a beam of radiation towards the centre – the “fire in the middle.”Flanagan calls this amplified life-giving force “biocosmic energy,” though science has not yet understood the specifics of this energy. Karel Drbal, a Czechoslovakian engineer and pyramidologist, described the pyramid as “a kind of cosmic antenna, tuning into sources of energy of vaster intensity and then focusing it into its centre.”

With Kirlian photography Patrick Flanagan demonstrated that while most of the positive energy is focused within and beneath the pyramid, some is also diffused from the five points. Many who have stood on top of the Great Pyramid have described sensing a high energy field or electrical charge.

Since the 1970s engineer Joe Parr, a member of the Great Pyramid of Giza Research Association, has written about theoretical “mass particles” that the pyramid shape attracts and traps. He states that these particles produce an orb-like energy field or “containment bubble” around any true pyramid, which shields out other energies. Using his gamma ray transducer he was able to study this energy field, which emanates from the one-third height level of the pyramid, the geometric centre (which he pinpoints as the Queen’s Chamber in the Great Pyramid). He claims this centre holds three mass particles captive as long as there is space for ions to flow. He found that sun spot activity and the phases of the moon had an effect upon the intensity of a pyramid’s energy field, and that at certain times of the year the field would block all electromagnetic radiation and even the force of gravity.

In 1968 Dr. Luis Alvarez, a Nobel prize winner in physics, tried to ascertain whether there might be secret chambers or passages in Khefre’s pyramid (the middle pyramid on the Giza plateau, only slightly smaller than the Great Pyramid), by measuring how cosmic rays passed through it. Normally the recording device would show a drop in energy if cosmic rays were passing through an empty space rather than through stone. In this case the recording tapes, when analyzed by computers, showed that the cosmic particles could not be measured – every time the tapes were run, the patterns were different. The cosmic particles rearranged themselves and some of the data disappeared altogether. “This is scientifically impossible,” said one of the scientists, Dr. Amr Goneid … there is some force which defies the laws of science at work in the pyramid.”

Modern pyramidology had its beginnings in the 1920s when Antoine Bovis, a Frenchman visiting the Great Pyramid, noticed that the bodies of small animals – bats, mice and cats – which had died in the King’s Chamber were completely preserved by dehydration. Back home in Nice he built a scale model of the Great Pyramid, placed a dead cat about one-third up, and found that the body indeed did not decay but mummified.

His model, on display with preserved animals in his store window, was seen by a young man, Hubert Larcher, who later conducted his own investigations into pyramid power. He wrote to Karel Drbal, telling him of Bovis’s discoveries and writings. Drbal performed his own experiments and discovered that if a dull razor blade was left at the one-third level of a model pyramid, it would regain its sharpness within a week and would remain sharp if kept inside the pyramid (which, as for all experiments, must be facing magnetic north, with the edge of the blade facing north also). His Gillette Blue Blade which normally gave five shaves could now be used for fifty shaves or more. Drbal theorized that the energy waves in the pyramid caused the metal molecules to return to their original form. He went on to create and patent a Cheops Pyramid Razor Blade Sharpener.

The razor-sharpening effect brought pyramid power into the public eye. Anyone can duplicate the experiment, using a pyramid model in the proportions of the Great Pyramid. Regular double-edged blades can be used but single-edged blades without a stainless steel or platinum coating are better. Use a dull blade or dull it with a toothbrush, and leave it in the pyramid for a week.

Sheila Ostrander and Lynn Schroeder’s 1970 book Psychic Discoveries Behind the Iron Curtain verified the dehydration of organic matter and sharpening of blades by pyramid shapes. With the publication of Pat Flanagan’s book and another by Max Toth and Greg Nielsen, “pyramid power” became popular and many people began their own experimentation.

Scientists and interested amateurs have performed experiments with plants, seeds, metals, food and liquids inside pyramids. Bill Schul and Ed Pettit placed identical containers of milk inside and outside a pyramid. Within a week the milk outside grew mould, whereas the milk inside the pyramid formed curds, and six weeks later turned into a smooth creamy yogurt. An experimenter named James Raymond Wolfe put a pint of water within a pyramid for a week and a control pint outside the pyramid. His assistant filled numbered vials with the resulting water and Wolfe watered groups of sunflower seeds, not knowing which water was which. In every case the seeds watered with the pyramid-charged water grew faster. Patrick Flanagan also verified that seeds germinated more easily and plant growth was accelerated by pyramid power. Seeds kept beneath a pyramid will produce a richer yield, and pulses sprouted with pyramid power are richer in vitamins, minerals and enzymes. Not only do plants grow faster beneath pyramids but they remain free of pests.

Bill Schul and Ed Pettit noted significant difference in the growth rate of plants beneath pyramids and wondered if they would be able to capture it with time-lapse photography. What their photography showed was “plants gyrating in a symphonic dance as though orchestrated by an unseen conductor.” Their first film showed a six-inch-tall sunflower placed in a glass pyramid at the one-third height level. “The plant followed an east-west cyclic movement. It bowed to the east nearly touching the base, swept a semicircle to the south and back to the west and finally straightened to the vertical before starting the dance once more. The movement was repeated every two hours ….” The authors observed this east-west movement for two years, then abruptly the plants started to move instead in a north-south arc, presumably due to some change in the environment or atmosphere.

An aluminum screen placed to the west of the plants would stop the plants’ gyrations, since aluminum blocks a pyramid’s energy field. Similarly, seeds placed on aluminum foil in a pyramid will sprout slowly – but aluminum’s blocking effect is overcome if the foil is left in a pyramid for two weeks or more. Amazingly, the foil then carries its own pyramid energy and it will enhance seed growth and cook food faster.

Jules Green of the Psychical Research Society experimented with flowers. Taking four roses, he placed two under pyramids, one under a cube, and one in the open air. He did the same with four tulips. After a week, the flowers exposed to the air had withered, while the others were still fresh. The roses and tulips in the pyramids, however, had actually grown.

Patrick Flanagan investigated pyramid effects on plants, water, animals and people. He was particularly enthusiastic about the pyramid’s ability to preserve food – foods and beverages stay fresh longer and acquire enhanced flavour. Fruit is preserved indefinitely by dehydration.

The Great Pyramid Company explains how pyramids inhibit natural decay: “Pyramids don’t kill bacteria. However the bacteria feed by absorbing nutrients as entropy breaks the tissues down. In a pyramid there is so little entropy that the bacteria barely survive and don’t multiply prolifically. Food therefore stays fresher longer and has a chance to dehydrate before it goes bad.”

Medicines stay fresh beneath a pyramid for the same reason: destructive energies are deflected and positive energy is enhanced. Pyramid-charged water is energizing and aids digestion; it also helps wounds and skin conditions to heal faster. A small pyramid placed over a wound will likewise speed healing. Polluted water can be in several days beneath a pyramid.

Since a pyramid holds positive energy and deflects negative wavelengths, it will cleanse and empower crystals, and brighten tarnished jewellery. Tarnish can be removed quickly from gold and silver by pyramid-treated water.

Many people report feeling revitalized, with sense-perceptions sharpened, after spending time within a pyramid. As well, some experience an internal tingling, and sometimes a “distant ringing” sound, as the pyramid shape focuses and resonates beneficial sound vibrations.

In The Secret Power of Pyramids, Bill Schul and Ed Pettit report that people spending time sitting beneath pyramids have claimed relief from many ailments. In their chapter on “Healing Powers” they report that healing has occurred rapidly in cases of sprains, cuts, bruises, toothache, backache, strains, congestion, and infections. They mention that people sitting within pyramids sometimes report seeing a blue light, which research has shown to have cooling, healing properties. In Pyramid Power, Max Toth and Greg Nielsen state that people sitting or sleeping near even a model pyramid have reported the alleviation or disappearance of pain or symptoms of illness. Schul and Pettit postulate that the pyramid energy field tends to produce healthier functioning of cells, tissues, and organs. They point out that since the pyramid shape offers a heightened energy field, while a cube inhibits energy, it does not serve us to live in cube-shaped homes.

Not surprisingly, people experience enhanced effects when meditating beneath pyramids. Changes in the meditator’s aura (electromagnetic field) have been noted with Kirlian photography – auras become brighter and larger. Meditators report deeper relaxation, an enhanced sense of well-being, and increased levels of awareness. The positive energy flow in the pyramid facilitates deeper focus.

Patrick Flanagan tested the brain waves of people as a pyramid was lowered over their heads. Their alpha waves became much stronger and meditation became deeper. As well, he found that he required less sleep and felt more rested when sleeping under a pyramid. The Great Pyramid Company, which sells pyramids for meditation and sleep, states that sleeping under, rather than inside, a pyramid is preferable, since “the energy is softer and quieter.”Having a pyramid beneath one’s bed can also have a calming effect.

A pyramid aids meditation because it focuses harmonious energy while deflecting distracting energies:

Distractions are unordered, disharmonic energy. [A] pyramid guards against external interference while helping you corral your own maverick thoughts. The pyramid focuses positive energy within you, which is precisely your goal. As you enter your reflective state the pyramid assists you at every step. Meditation is faster, deeper and more rewarding.

Bill Schul and Ed Pettit researched the effects of meditation inside a pyramid, by asking people to try it for the first time and describe their experiences. The common feelings were of calmness, peace, harmony and relaxation, as well as mild euphoria, feelings of being “charged” with renewed energy, and a sense of detachment from the physical world and everyday concerns. Some experimenters experienced a focus of energy on their heart. One reported: “The first impression was peaceful silence … and I was very aware of my heart. There was a power of some kind going to the heart, or coming from the heart. The entire body seemed to take on a vibration – a tingle…”

People meditating in a pyramid regularly have received strong spiritual and psychic impressions, as well as enhanced dreams and visions, vivid visual imagery, and increased memory recall.

Some writers suggest placing wishes and prayers inside the pyramid to help focus one’s energy on the issues, or facing in the four directions to enhance specific areas of life: For example, one can sit in the pyramid facing east to focus on love, harmony, and peace; west for health; north for material abundance, and south for protection and safety – the principle being that the pyramid energy will help to materialise these desires.

Experiments have shown copper to be the best metal for an open-frame meditation pyramid, due to its natural electronic and bio-enhancing properties, but pyramid structures of cardboard, wood or bamboo are effective too, if built to the same proportional dimensions as the Great Pyramid.

The Great Pyramid enshrined and preserved timeless knowledge which is still challenging us to unlock its secrets today. As well, Edgar Cayce and others have claimed that a Hall of Records lies buried beneath the Great Sphinx, containing records and artefacts from Atlantis and even more ancient civilizations. Suffice to say that there are mysteries still to be revealed on the Giza Plateau. In The Secret Power of Pyramids, Bill Schul and Ed Pettit described the Great Pyramid as “an instrument for human growth.” As we delve into its history and learn more about the ancient wisdom it embodies, we learn more about human capacity and evolution. We are only beginning to understand the vast antiquity of the human race and the advanced scientific and metaphysical knowledge which ancient civilizations possessed, and which the Great Pyramid conveys to us across millennia.

Effects/Experiments With Pyramid/Orgone Energy

The following information is partly from my experiments, and what I have read from The Pyramid Energy Hand Book By Serge V. King, Ph.D, which is no longer in print. My personal experiments are documented else-where. This information should be correct, as the book was very good about keeping the facts straight. All of my experiments thus far remain consistent with the book’s claims, so it should be safe to say the rest is correct.

First of all here are some of the things a pyramid is suppose to do:

Sharpen razor blades
Restore the lustre to tarnished jewellery and coins
Purify water
Mummify and dehydrate meat, eggs and other food stuffs
Help keep milk fresh and prevent souring without refrigeration
Dehydrate flowers without losing their form or colour
Increase the growth rate of plants
Help attain increased relaxation
Improves the taste of coffee, wine and certain fruit juices
Promotes healing of cuts, bruises and burns, as well as reduces pain from toothaches and headaches.

There are several important things to keep in mind when experimenting with Pyramids. First, the object you are treating should NOT exceed 5% of the pyramid’s volume. Other-wise the energy is spread to thin, and not much happens. The exception is when sitting or sleeping under a pyramid. For this, a pyramid with a 6 ft base (or larger) works good.
Second, and this is really critical, the pyramid MUST be aligned to magnetic north to work! The energy is very weak when it is out of alignment, so you want to get it aligned as good as possible. It will still work if it is a little out.
Also if you are using it to boost your plant’s growth you do need to be careful. Just as too much fertilizer is bad for plants, too much orgone is too. Some plants don’t mind it, but others can’t take a lot. If a plant is getting too much it will start to wilt. There are several ways to regulate the energy. The best way to prevent over-dose on plants is to treat water with Pyramids and water them with the pyramid water. You can’t over dose them doing that. Humans can over-dose too. If you have been under a pyramid too long you can start to get a head-ache, if you still stay it becomes nausea and light headed. If you still refuse to leave, it will pass and one feels quite good. So there don’t seem to be any damaging effects (you fingers don’t shrivel up!), but I wouldn’t recommend staying under to long if it causes discomfort.

Experiments with Pyramids
Water Alteration
Water is not “purified” under a pyramid, as the claims say, however it is chemically altered. Water is a polar molecule. The hydrogen bond is what allows this change to occur. The orgone energy produced by the pyramid polarizes, lines up, or somehow alters the hydrogen bond. This alters not only the taste of the water but some of it’s chemical properties as well. Water that is “charged” with pyramid/orgone energy can pass on the energy to other things. Watering plants with pyramid water will help them grow better. Some people drink pyramid water too. If you would like to made lots of pyramid water to drink, put a gallon or less of water under a large frame pyramid (6ft base) and leave it for a hour. Treating small amounts of water under a small or large pyramid, takes only 10 to 15 minutes.

Sharpen razor blades
This sounds really strange, but it’s true. A dull razor blade is impregnated with water molecules. Now a pyramid creates a condition of microwave-dehydration (on non-living things), and removes the water from the steel. The moon cycles can affect results, as the moon cycles affect earth’s magnetic field, and pyramid energy is related to magnetism (that’s why you have to have the pyramid lined up to magnetic north. The blade sharpens best when it is lined up east-west, and the pyramid north-south. The razor is put under the pyramid after each use. A cheap razor that lasts 5 good shaves will last 50 or more. I have heard reports of as high as 250 as well. With the lunar cycles affecting the pyramid, sometimes one will get a poor shave one night. Don’t end the experiment, it will pick up again the next day. Now this is not a totally alien process, it just speeds up natural ones. If you leave a razor for 2 months it will lose the water, and “sharpen” itself. The pyramid does this over night. Pyramids will keep the blade sharp, but I think it takes a long time to sharpen a dull one. Try 2 weeks and see it it helps. It’s best to start with a fresh blade and maintain it. Using good quality razors and pyramids together can help a razor last for many, many uses.

Restore the lustre to tarnished jewellery and coins
Pyramid energy will loosen tarnish off coins and jewellery. Leave the object under the pyramid for several days first. Then the tarnish will rub off very easily. This is likely due to the microwave-dehydration breaking the tarnish’s hold loose.

Mummify and dehydrate meat, eggs and other food stuffs
This is a most interesting effect of pyramid energy, and is due to the microwave dehydration. Meat, and other types of food will dry out quickly under a pyramid. For this type of experiment the samples should be sealed, unless using a frame pyramid. Other-wise the pyramid creating a closed space will affect results. The Egyptians had a very effective way of mummifying their dead, I believe this is how they did it.

Help keep milk fresh and prevent souring without refrigeration
Milk will stay fresh longer under a pyramid without refrigeration. This is because the micro-organisms that make the milk spoil cannot withstand the orgone energy, they don’t like it.

Dehydrate flowers without losing their form or colour
The microwave-dehydration accelerates the drying process of the flowers faster than normal. I would recommend using a large frame pyramid for this, as the enclosure of a solid pyramid might counter act the effect. Also because of the 5% rule.

Increase the growth rate of plants
Orgone energy is good for plants, in moderation. Too much orgone can be harmful to some plants. Some can take more than others. The best way to prevent over-dose in plants is to water them with treated water. You can’t over-dose hardly anything doing this. If a plant begins to wilt it has too much orgone, and needs to be given less.

Help attain increased relaxation
Pyramid energy puts the mind into a alpha-theta state which is one of relaxation. Animals quiet down under pyramids as well.

Improves the taste of coffee, wine and certain fruit juices
Pyramid energy alters the hydrogen bond in water. A general effect is a increase in the “smoothness” of a drink. It takes the sharp “edge” of drinks like coffee. Works well with wine too.

General healing
Promotes healing of cuts, bruises and burns, as well as reduces pain from toothaches and headaches
The title says it all. In general pyramid energy is good for multi-cellular organism. It is harmful to micro-organisms, which is good for killing infections and what not. I have also read that you don’t get colds and the flu if sleeping under a pyramid.

Sleeping/Sitting Under a Pyramid
Sleeping under a small 8″ base pyramid can have some small positive effects. Sleeping under a large pyramid (6ft) has several benefits. First less sleep is needed. Also you will have vivid lucid dreams. Because mirco-organism don’t like orgone you should get sick less. Some people meditate under a pyramid. Pyramid energy puts your mind into a theta-alpha state. This also what causes the lucid dreams, and puts the mind in a creative mood when you are awake. I have heard that some people study under a pyramid for this reason.

Anti-GMO Catholic Sentiment

Roman Catholics join call to end GMOs

Wednesday, August 21, 2013 by: J. D. Heyes

j

(NaturalNews) Several Roman Catholic priests and Catholic laymen are seeking to convince some in the Church hierarchy to publicly denounce genetically modified organisms as they prepare to publicly honor a trio of scientists largely responsible for GMO development.

In an open letter to Cardinal Peter Turkson, president of the Vatican’s Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace, who is set to honor the three scientists in Des Moines, Iowa, Oct. 16-18, Brother David Andrews, a senior representative of Food & Water Watch and the Committee on World Food Security, among other groups, says he wants the Church to reconsider:

As you know, the United States government and agriculture giant Monsanto have been seeking the support of the Holy See for genetic modification of food for years.

During my last visit to the U.S. Ambassador Miguel Diaz, just before he resigned, Diaz sung to me the praises of Bishop Marcelo Sanchez Sorondo, chancellor of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, because he supported GMOs. I wonder what you will say, particularly given your leadership of the synod on Africa and the strong advocacy that Monsanto and the U.S. government have for transforming African agriculture through the G-8’s New Alliance for Food Security and Nutrition.

Monsanto pushing the Vatican for endorsement

In his letter, Andrews says the U.S. has “repeatedly” pushed the Holy See to endorse GMO seeds “as a moral obligation,” but that the “policy of the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace has been to resist officially adopting GMOs.”

“While the Academy of Sciences has recurrently hosted one-sided conferences on GMOs in 2004 and 2008, the Holy See formerly has not done so. Cardinal Renato Martino, your predecessor at the justice and peace office, came close but backed off, and you yourself have been quite careful,” David writes.

He goes on to say that the U.S. has typically taken the position that the world, and the African continent in particular, has to produce more food, and that the best way to do so is through the implementation and use of GMO seeds, most of which are pushed by Monsanto (one of the three scientists to be honored is a Monsanto executive and the founder of Syngenta Biotechnology).

Most African farmers, however, disagree, David says, “believing instead that agro-ecology is the better way to go: through methods of production more in harmony with their own cultures and traditions, and more realizable by small-scale farmers and women producers.”

Continuing, he writes:

In my meetings with the U.S. Agency for International Development, the State and Agriculture Departments and congressional staff, this method of production – agroecology, which was endorsed by the United Nations through the 2008 International Assessment of Agricultural Science and Technology in Development – is referred to as eco-topian thinking, theology or faith-based reasoning. Yet more than 50 countries endorse that study, conducted by hundreds of scientists and agriculturalists.

U.S. working behind the scenes

He also points out that U.S. farmers have complained that Monsanto owns upwards of 60 percent of the seeds planted in American soil, just to limit the availability of other seeds. He calls that an unhelpful track record on the part of Monsanto, saying also that “the New Alliance for Food Security and Nutrition fails to provide adequate guidelines for responsible agricultural investment.”

“I hope you will speak to the U.S. public about the important issue of GMOs in your World Food Prize address in Des Moines,” David concludes.

Other open letters have similarly requested that the Vatican refrain from endorsing GMO seeds.

Says Dr. Brian John, at GMWatch.com: “These open letters reflect the debate within the Roman Catholic church about GMOs and the ongoing diplomatic offensive by the U.S. administration to push the interests of Monsanto and the other biotech multinationals within the Vatican and within the Roman Catholic church generally. The Wikileaks cables gave us some indication of how the US works behind the scenes.”

Check this out:
Citizens of Shambala are releasing powerful vibrating energy. It sounds like a extreme combined energy of healing mantra sounds. On the surface the Tibetan monks that are meditating in this cave of the spirits for a long time are saying that this started to happen only recently. They also were saying that the spirits telepathically transmitted to them that something major is going to happen soon. The Earth is ringing like a bell more and more recently. Its all happening guys.

No human interference in the audio file. You can download the original file Russian scientists recorded on: http://files.mail.ru/SGYD94

The good part is that we are not alone in this major planetary shift and I’m sure that people of Shamballa will do their best to protect all life on Earth when time comes.

Namaste,

Time Dilation Fields

Gillian MacBeth-Louthan
Tuesday, 20 August, 2013

Father Time makes Himself known again rerouting the very best of intentions, sidestepping the 24 hr day and running us around in circles. Time as we know it cannot be forced into pigeon holes nor trained to do our bidding. Time has grown its own wings and takes flight into previously unknown patterns, reconstructing the highways and byways of what was.

The sextants of humanities DNA demand that it fly in a direction that brings a quickening. Do not take for granted what is etched in sand on the hourglass of time. For what once was instructed and carved in stone has shifted in context. The timelines cannot be tamed nor ridden into submission.

What was taken for granted is challenged non-stop, what you know to be truth is challenged, what you believe in your heart is challenged.  The body has received so many mixed signals, it feels like a long island ice tea. All of humanity is in overload. All circuits are in busy.  Senses are so overworked  they are taking a leave of absence which creates that fuzzy disconnected feeling. Earth is at an intersection of time with no clear directions. The playing field of earth is being changed forever. It is becoming a clearing house of light and information for all Universes.

We are traveling in and out of time sequences, past present and future. No longer are we anchored and docked. The time fluctuations are accelerated when the sun shakes her golden locks and her explosive nature is seen  by all who are brave enough to look. We are being escorted into different time portals of experience and this will continue in a dramatic fashion for the next several years.

Earth is experiencing a Time-storm which is one of the side effects of disrupting the flow of time itself. When a wormhole travels close enough to a star during a Solar flare, its time-path may be altered. A side effect of this is Time Dilation. Time Dilation slows down or advances the speed of time, reversing time in a localized field.  Time is only altered within that field and not throughout the entire universe. This can slow down the progression of time to the point that one year would equal a thousand years outside the field. If we all think time has sped up and slowed down simultaneously this is the reason.

Solar cycles always play an important part in the ungradement of human consciousness. Solar activity is a catalyst for our evolutionary process. Solar light stimulates change in matter, energy, and consciousness. It pushes us into a higher position of knowing and the ability to integrate and use that knowledge for the betterment of all Universes. Evolutionary change is Sun driven. New energy is coming from deep space via this Solar portal.

Our Sun as the pulsing heart of this solar system, sends a twelve-faceted geometric light into every atom of its solar universe. The Sun is a portal which streams information in the form of light from other light/solar systems and worlds beyond ours.  It is a storehouse of vital energies and is considered to be the Great Heart.  Stars like our sun are the visible raiment’s of celestial beings.

Their inner aspects are invisible, just like ours. The sun is simply the heart and brain of our little Universe, The mighty heart of the solar system beats to a different drum disrupting and erupting time at any given moment. With each beat, the sun expels its accumulated light and energy through sunspots projecting to the remotest corners of the solar system. The sun feeds its family: just as the heart feeds the body.

Earth and all her inhabitants are living receivers and transmitters. Solar flares affect the Central Nervous System all brain activity (including equilibrium), and all human and animal behavior. Solar flares can cause us to be nervous, anxious, worrisome, jittery, irritable, and lethargic, have short-term memory loss, lose time, feel nauseous, headaches, trouble with all forms of communication–both human and technological. Solar activity illuminates consciousness causing old patterns to be consumed in Light.

Very Strong earthquake in Guerrero, Mexico – Damage in parts of Guerrero (i.a. Acapulco, San Marcos) – At least 3 injuries

Last update: August 21, 2013 at 3:39 pm by By

Update 15:27 UTC : Huitzuco is another affected town. Three residental buildings and one chuch suffered minor damage there. Another damaged church is in Taxco, where parts of the ceiling fell down. Two nurses in Iguala were injured by falling pieces of ceiling panel, respectively by a collision with a door in their hospital. More people in Guerrero needed medical help for nervous breakdowns.

Update 15:18 UTC : The Good News: No damage was caused in the states of Veracruz and Puebla.

Update 15:05 UTC : Some houses in Hornos Insurgentes, a part of Acapulco, collapsed. One girl was injured there. (Some of the damage in Acapulco might be caused by an M 5.6 aftershock, which occurred a few minutes after the mainshock)
Rockfall was observed in rural areas of Guerrero, blocking some roads.

Update 14:56 UTC : It seems that also Mexico City was slightly affected. Residents reported cracks to walls in some parts of the town and a crack in a classroom. No big damage among it.

Update 14:38 UTC : At least 3 hospitals were damaged, two in Acapulco and one in San Marcos.
Schools and other public buildings in this towns were closed, because some of them were damaged.

Update 14:08 UTC : More damage reports arrive from Acapulco. Some buildings on harbour area of Acapulco suffered heavy damage. Large cracks and collapsed walls are reported. At least 3 school buildins in Acapulco were also damaged.

Update 14:03 UTC : Damage is reported from some parts of Guerrero. Buildings in San Marcos, Atapulco and Chilpancingo suffered cracks by the quake, Civil protection authorities reported.

Update 13:44 UTC : Civil protection in Mexico City and other regions are now looking for potential damage. Helicopters fly about DF, public buildings (schools, etc.) are unter investigation. No damage is reported yet, while people are starting to return to their houses.

Update 13:16 UTC : Earthquake alarms in Mexico City went on when the quake happened, triggering people to come out of their houses, seconds before the seismic waves arrived.
In Acapulco, 55 km southwest of the epicenter, the quake caused disturbances in the telephone connection.

A very strong earthquake occurred in southern Guerrero, Mexico. It was well felt in Mexico City. USGS ShakeMap expects a strong shaking in epicenter region, which will probably cause light to moderate damage to weak buildings

Weekly Color Vibe

Posted on by

August 18-24

The theme this week is why didn’t I see it before?….  There will be many things coming into your face that you have been looking at for so long, but never saw.  What a difference a shift of perspective makes!

 

Overall Color for the Week:   Light Steel Blue

This is very much a week in which to make it through.  Things are going to be coming up that were not in the schedule, and you will need to find a way to deal with them.  There can be a lot of stuff in your face that you did not want to have anything to do with, some of it you thought had been settled, some of it you knew had nothing to do with you, and some of it you had let go of a long time ago.  Be ready for anything, and know that if you stay strong in WHO you are, you can make it through everything, get your voice heard, and put into place a lot of the people who have been just buzzing around for so long.  You need to know what you tolerance level is.  Once you have figured that out, it is time to be aware of what it is that you no longer want on your agenda.  This is a week for settling of you and your needs, your desires, and the things that most assist you in the changes that are happening. There are the things that matter.  There are things that do not matter.  The changes will turn things upside down and when that happens, you will definitely see that a lot of the old politeness that you bought into was just someone else’s game.  Oh, and it is time to know what is real and what is illusion.

On the larger scale, Gaia has a few points to make this week, and you will be seeing them come out in different areas.  She has changed, the face of the Earth has changed, and the once so-predictable jet streams, seasons, and storms are no longer the same.  There is upheaval within the core of the Earth that will be felt on a small scale beginning on Thursday, but growing in intensity as the weeks progress.  There will be many out of season events associated with that along with some relatively startling movements, explosions, etc.  These things will bring to light certain facts and artifacts related to very old cultures.  When these things are brought forward, there will be an attempt to explain them away as recent forgeries, etc.  You will know the truth if you go within.  Money is becoming quite the ball court issue, as the markets swing back and forth between the winners and the losers.  Actually, with all of this, you will probably see this week the beginning of some pretty radical time-outs.  Watch also of the movement of illnesses on the globe.  There is a virus that has been injected into the atmosphere that can begin to affect people who are choosing the negative.  Interestingly, the positive attitude that you adhere to, the joy and love that you embrace are the only vaccines you need to make you immune to all of this.

Comets & CME

Posted on by

SUNDIVING COMET AND FULL-HALO CME: A small comet plunged into the sun this morning, and just before it arrived, the sun expelled a magnificent full-halo CME. Click to view a movie from the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO):

In the final frames of the movie, the comet can be seen furiously vaporizing. Indeed, those were the comet’s final frames. It did not emerge again from its flyby of the hot sun. “With a diameter of perhaps a few tens of meters, this comet was clearly far too small to survive the intense bombardment of solar radiation,” comments Karl Battams of the Naval Research Lab, who studies sungrazing comets.

The CME (coronal mass ejection) came from an explosion on the farside of the sun. Although the CME and the comet appear to intersect, there was probably no interaction between the two. The comet is in the foreground and the farside CME is behind it.

Occasionally, readers ask if sundiving comets can trigger solar explosions. There’s no known mechanism for comets to spark solar flares. Comets are thought to be too small and fragile to destabilize the sun’s magnetic field. Plus, this comet was still millions of kilometers from the sun when the explosion unfolded.

The comet, R.I.P., was a member of the Kreutz family. Kreutz sungrazers are fragments from the breakup of a single giant comet many centuries ago. They get their name from 19th century German astronomer Heinrich Kreutz, who studied them in detail. Several Kreutz fragments pass by the sun and disintegrate every day. Most, measuring less than a few meters across, are too small to see, but occasionally a bigger fragment like this one attracts attention.

Drought Causes Colorado River Flow Cut

Posted on by

For the first time in history, the U.S. government has ordered that flow of Colorado River water from the 50-year-old Glen Canyon Dam be slashed, due to a water crisis brought about by the region’s historic 14-year drought. On Friday, the Federal Bureau of Reclamation–a division of the Department of Interior that manages water and electric power in the West–announced that it would cut water released from Lake Powell’s Glen Canyon Dam by 750,000 acre-feet in 2014. An acre-foot is the amount of water that will cover an acre of land one foot deep; 750,000 acre-feet is enough water to supply at least 750,000 homes for one year. The flow reduction will leave the Colorado River 9% below the 8.23 million acre feet that is supposed to be supplied downstream to Lake Mead for use in California, Nevada, Arizona and Mexico under the Colorado River Compact of 1922 and later agreements. “This is the worst 14-year drought period in the last hundred years,” said Upper Colorado Regional Director Larry Walkoviak in a Bureau of Reclamation press release.

In the winter of 2005, Lake Powell reached its lowest level since filling, an elevation 150′ below full pool. Lake levels recovered some in during 2005 – 2011, but the resurgence of severe to extreme drought conditions have provoked a steep decline in 2012 and 2013, with the lake falling 35′ over the past year. As of August 18, 2013, Lake Powell was 109′ below full pool (45% of capacity), and was falling at a rate of one foot every six days.

Las Vegas’ Water Supply, Lake Mead, Near a Record Low
Downstream of Lake Powell lies Lake Mead, filled in 1936 when Hoover Dam was completed. Lake Mead supplies Las Vegas with ninety percent of its drinking water, and the water level of Lake Mead is expected to fall by eight feet in 2014 due to the lower water flow levels out of Lake Powell ordered on Friday. Lake Mead has fallen by 100 feet since the current 14-year drought began in 2000, and the higher of the two intake pipes used to supply Las Vegas with water from the lake is in danger of running dry. As a result, a seven-year, $800 million project is underway by the Southern Nevada Water Authority to build a third intake pipe that will tap the deepest part of the reservoir. This so-called “third straw” is scheduled to be available late in 2014, which may be cutting it close, if the Colorado River watershed experiences another year of drought as severe as in 2012 – 2013. Southern Nevada has done well to reduce water usage, though–the region’s annual water consumption decreased by nearly 29 billion gallons between 2002 and 2012, despite a population increase of more than 400,000 during that span.


Figure 3. Lake Mead water levels from 1938 – 2013 in July show a precipitous drop since drought conditions gripped the Western U.S. in 2000. The Lake Mead photo was taken by wunderphotographer LAjoneson June 29, 2007, when the lake had a “bathtub ring” 109′ tall. Water level data from The Bureau of Reclamation.

The new intake tunnel is designed to maintain the ability to draw upon Colorado River water at lake elevations as low as 1,000 feet above sea level. The lake already has two intake pipes, and the higher of these will go dry when the lake level hits 1050′ – 1075′. As of August 2013, the Lake Mead water level was 1106′ above sea level, which is 114′ below full pool, but 24′ above the record low water level of 1081′ set in November 2010.

Drought conditions worsen over Southwest U.S. in August
According to the U.S. Drought Monitor, the Western U.S. drought peaked in July 2002, when 79% of the West was in at least severe drought, and 45% of the region was in the two highest categories of drought–extreme to exceptional. However, drought conditions have been steadily intensifying this summer. The August 13, 2013 Drought Monitor report showed that drought conditions in the Western U.S. are now the worst since 2004, with 78% of the West in at least severe drought, and 20% in the two highest categories of drought, extreme and exceptional. The latest U.S. Seasonal Drought Outlook, issued on August 15, calls for drought to remain entrenched over the large majority of the Western U.S. through the end of November.

Causes of the great Western U.S. drought
It is well-known that natural variations in sea surface temperature patterns, such as seen from the El Niño/La Niña oscillation, can influence storm tracks and can cause prolonged periods of drought. These natural variations likely had a hand in causing the great 2000 – 2013 Western U.S. drought. However, changes in the amount of sea ice covering the Arctic can also have a major impact on Northern Hemisphere atmospheric circulation patterns. We must consider if global warming, which has led to a 50% decline in summer Arctic sea ice extent since 1979, may be altering storm tracks and contributing to drought. In 2004, Lisa Sloan, professor of Earth sciences at UC Santa Cruz, and her graduate student Jacob Sewall published an article in Geophysical Research Letters, Disappearing Arctic sea ice reduces available water in the American west. An accompanying news release explained that their climate models found “a significant reduction in rain and snowfall in the American West” as a result of Arctic sea ice loss:

What they found was a change in atmospheric circulation patterns that caused a small northward shift in the paths of winter storms over western North America. This shift in winter storm tracks resulted in significantly reduced winter precipitation from southern British Columbia to the Gulf of California. In some areas, average annual precipitation dropped by as much as 30 percent. The reductions were greatest along the West Coast, with lesser changes further inland. But even as far inland as the Rocky Mountains, winter precipitation fell by 17 percent.

The sea ice acts like a lid over the ocean surface during the winter, blocking the transfer of heat from the ocean to the atmosphere, Sewall explained. Where the sea ice is reduced, heat transfer from the ocean warms the atmosphere, resulting in a rising column of relatively warm air. The shift in storm tracks over North America was linked to the formation of these columns of warmer air over areas of reduced sea ice in the Greenland Sea and a few other locations.

A follow-up paper by Dr. Sewall in 2005, “Precipitation Shifts over Western North America as a Result of Declining Arctic Sea Ice Cover: The Coupled System Response”, used a more sophisticated modeling technique but confirmed the results of the 2004 paper. In a June 2013 interview with climateprogress.org, Dr. Sewall commented:

“I think the hypothesis from 2004 and 2005 is being borne out by current changes. The only real difference is that reality is moving faster then we though/hoped it would almost a decade ago.”

Western North America drought of 2000 – 2004 the worst in over 800 years
The Colorado River’s water woes are due to an extraordinary 14-year drought that began in 2000, which peaked during 2000 – 2004. A 2012 study titled, Reduction in carbon uptake during turn of the century drought in western North America, found that the 2000 – 2004 drought was the most severe Western North America event of its kind since the last mega drought over 800 years ago, during the years 1146 – 1151. The paper analyzed the latest generation of climate models used for the 2013 IPCC report, which project that the weather conditions that spawned the 2000 – 2004 drought will be the new normal in the Western U.S. by 2030, and will be considered extremely wet by the year 2100. If these dire predictions of a coming “megadrought” are anywhere close to correct, it will be extremely challenging for the Southwest U.S. to support a growing population in the coming decades.

Figure 7. Normalized precipitation over Western North America (five-year mean) from 22 climate models used to formulate the 2013 IPCC report, as summarized by Schwalm et al., 2012, Reduction in carbon uptake during turn of the century drought in western North America. The horizontal line marks the precipitation level of the 2000 – 2004 drought, the worst of the past 800 years. Droughts of this intensity are predicted to be the new normal by 2030, and will be considered an outlier of extreme wetness by 2100. The paper states: “This impending drydown of western North America is consistent with present trends in snowpack decline as well as expected in-creases in aridity and extreme climate events,including drought, and is driven by anthropogenically forced increases in temperature with coincident increases in evapotranspiration and decreases in soil moisture. Although regional precipitation patterns are difficult to forecast, climate models tend to underestimate the extent and severity of drought relative to available observations. As such, actual reductions in precipitation may be greater than shown. Forecasted precipitation patterns are consistent with a probable twenty-first century megadrought.” Image credit: Schwalm et al., 2012, Reduction in carbon uptake during turn of the century drought in western North America, Nature Geoscience 5, 551-555, Published online 29 JULY 2012, DOI: 10.1038/NGEO1529, www.nature.com/naturegeoscience.
