Great find, James! And save me a glass of that vintage, will ya? I’m sure there’ll be something to toast by then, if only the apocalypse 😆

That link is full of stuff to chew on. Spoke 18, 18=9. I see righteousness as not that which is right while anything else is wrong, that’s duality. I see it as that which entrains, as of a core frequency that affects the vibratory pattern of everything. Chaos and order alike. The I AM.

Interesting about Zion having the same root. Which, I believe, comes from Alcyone.
Another neato jump from there is halcyon. I just love words…

hal⋅cy⋅on
1. calm; peaceful; tranquil: halcyon weather.
2. rich; wealthy; prosperous: halcyon times of peace.
3. happy; joyful; carefree: halcyon days of youth.
4. of or pertaining to the halcyon or kingfisher.
–noun
5. a mythical bird, usually identified with the kingfisher, said to breed about the time of the winter solstice in a nest floating on the sea, and to have the power of charming winds and waves into calmness during the 14 days preceding the solstice.
6. any of various kingfishers, esp. of the genus Halcyon.
7. (initial capital letter) Classical Mythology. Alcyone (def. 2).
Origin:
1350–1400; < L < Gk halkyn, pseudo-etymological var. of alkyn kingfisher; r. ME alceon, alicion < L alcyōn < Gk

Here is the private message Lyara mentions, from Nov. 17:

PRIVATE MESSAGE
November 17, 2008

All right, now. We are with you at all times, working on you at all times. However, we felt it would be beneficial to offer some comments on the process you are currently engaged in and to clarify the significance of what you are currently experiencing.

The significance of reaching 100% linkup status is twofold: The first part of that is that the energetic conduits between your 4D and 3D bodies are completely available, so energy and information can flow directly from one to another. This is a necessary precursor for the next phase of your transition into full consciousness and all that comes with that. The second part is that that phase can now take place, and it is that that we wish to elaborate upon today.

This next phase involves a complete change in your frame of reference. You are already noticing this to some degree, and it is only going to become more so with your passage through time. It will be, as you said, as if the former ways of seeing, thinking, and expressing are totally irrelevant to you, as if — in the erasing of your cellular memory — you have forgotten what it was like to see and feel that way. You are ceasing to identify with that mode of perception and because of that, as this progresses, you will increasingly be unable to comprehend or make sense of the perceptions of others who are still operating in those ways at this time. This is part of the reason we said that your time as a teacher and leader was coming to an end. Your skill in being able to translate these complexities into simpler terms that these others can comprehend will become increasingly unavailable to you, because you are moving into a state of awareness that is so beyond the limitations of human speech and its concepts, no “translation” can be made between one set of perceptions and the other one.

There is a physical component to this, too. As your awareness becomes more anchored in this other way of seeing and experiencing, you will have to form a different relationship to your 3D physical body — to operate it CONSCIOUSLY, from this new place of awareness. This will take some learning and practice, but it is an excellent training tool in learning to be in more than one place at a time. It requires your awareness to be present and functional in more than one place at a time, too. Your denser physical body is not presently as malleable as your 4D body, which responds instantly to thought, so there is a learning curve here in terms of being able to synchronize thought and physical matter, but that is also part of the phase you are going through right now… article continues here

The game changes not just in the US with Obama’s inauguration, but in Europe as well. I have no knowledge of this man other than what this article says. From the NY Times, Dec 5 08:

Vaclav Klaus, A “Fiery Czech” Is Poised to Be the Face of Europe

In the 1980s, a Communist secret police agent infiltrated clandestine economics seminars hosted by Vaclav Klaus, a fiery future leader of the Czech Republic, who had come under suspicion for extolling free market virtues. Rather than reporting on Marxist heresy, the agent was most struck by Mr. Klaus’s now famous arrogance.

“His behavior and attitudes reveal that he feels like a rejected genius,” the agent noted in his report, which has since been made public. “He shows that whoever does not agree with his views is stupid and incompetent.” …

An economist by training and a free marketeer by ideology, Mr. Klaus has criticized the course set by the union’s departing leader, President Nicolas Sarkozy of France. The ambitious Mr. Sarkozy has used France’s European Union presidency to push an agenda that includes broader and more coordinated regulation by the largest economies to tame the worst of the market’s excesses….

As a former finance minister and prime minister, he is credited with presiding over the peaceful 1993 split of Czechoslovakia into two states and helping to transform the Czech Republic into one of the former Soviet bloc’s most successful economies.

But his ideas about governance are out of step with many of the European Union nations that his country will lead starting Jan. 1.

While even many of the world’s most ardent free marketeers acknowledged the need for the recent coordinated bailout of European banks, Mr. Klaus lambasted it as irresponsible protectionism. He blamed too much — rather than too little — regulation for the crisis….

Is a new force at work in the dark sector?

Dark matter — the elusive substance that makes up most of the matter in the universe — may be far more complex than physicists had previously thought. Indeed, it may even be influenced by a hitherto unknown “dark force” that acts exclusively on dark matter particles. That’s the claim of a team of US cosmologists, who believe that their new theory of dark matter could explain the recent intriguing and anomalous results of several high profile searches for the first direct evidence of dark matter.

Physicists believe that there is about five times more dark matter in the universe than normal matter — the latter being the familiar stuff that makes up planets and stars. While dark matter appears to interact via gravity and has a strong influence on the motion of massive objects such as galaxies, it does not interact with light and has proven very difficult to detect directly — let alone study in any detail….Researchers operating a balloon-borne cosmic-ray detector called ATIC published a paper last week detailing an unexpected excess of electrons between about 300–800 GeV. The results cannot be explained by standard models of cosmic ray origin and propagation in the galaxy and instead suggest a nearby and hitherto unknown “source” of high energy electrons…

One possibility is that these excess particles are caused by the annihilation of weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) — one of the leading candidates for dark matter. In theory, WIMPs can collide and annihilate each other, producing electron-positron pairs. However, the annihilation rate required to explain the observed excesses is far higher than expected from standard theories of dark matter…

According to Finkbeiner and his colleagues, their new proposed fundamental force is felt only by dark matter and mediated by a new particle, “phi”, much in the same way that another fundamental force — electromagnetism — is mediated by photons. Crucially, the force is attractive, bringing dark matter particles together much more effectively to annihilate at low speeds and leading to a greater annihilation rate than otherwise expected. Dark matter particles would collide and annihilate to produce phi particles, with each phi then decaying to produce the electrons, positrons and other particles observed by experiments. ..

“What’s remarkable is that we found how easily the different elements supported each other and can explain a number of different anomalies simultaneously.” …

“All we have given up is the relative simplicity of recycling the same old forces we already know about,” he says. “But we have no philosophical problem with this. Can we really expect to discover a whole new ‘dark sector’ of particles and not find any new forces at all?” …

“It will require many pieces, probably, to figure it out,” says Weiner. “We’re really just at the beginning of thinking about these things.”

Here’s a followup from the original posted article, from physicsworld.com:

Cosmic-ray mystery deepens

Cosmologists mapping out the origins of high-energy cosmic rays reaching Earth have discovered two unexpected “hotspots”. Their observations are in stark contrast to current theories — which predict that our own galaxy’s magnetic fields should “scramble” incoming cosmic rays , making it look like they come from all directions.

Although the results are puzzling, an explanation for the hotspots could provide insight into the still unexplained origins of some cosmic rays and how they propagate through space.

Cosmic rays are energetic particles consisting mainly of protons, some helium nuclei, and other heavier nuclei. Although first discovered about 100 years ago, it has proven very difficult to pin down where they are coming from. In 2007, researchers at the Pierre Auger Observatory in Argentina found that rare ultra-high energy cosmic rays with energies greater than about 1019 eV were created in the vicinity of black holes at the centre of nearby galaxies.

However, some physicists believed that the origins of the much more common lower-energy TeV (1012eV) cosmic rays would remain a mystery. This is because the paths of charged particles with energies less than about 1018 eV are bent by galactic magnetic fields, as they travel through space, causing them to follow a meandering path that obscures their origin.
Two unexpected hotspots

Now, Milagro — the first observatory capable of continuously monitoring the Northern sky for TeV cosmic rays — has put this in doubt by revealing two cosmic-ray hotspots (Phys. Rev. Lett. 101 221101).

Located in the mountains near Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico, Milagro does not detect comsic rays directly, but rather looks for “air showers” of millions of secondary particles that are created when a cosmic ray collides with a nucleus in the atmosphere. Shower particles are detect in a large pool of water filled with photomultipliers — which detect flashes of light (Cherenkov radiation) that occur when particles pass through the water. Shower data are then analysed to determine the energy and arrival direction of the cosmic ray.

In a seven-year run ending in April 2008, Milagro worked out the direction of over 200 billion cosmic rays with TeV energies. Crucially, it found an excess of cosmic rays arriving from two small isolated regions of the sky, roughly 10 degrees across.

“The most straightforward explanation of this excess – a region of the sky where cosmic rays are produced – could not account for how the cosmic rays reach us without bouncing around and losing any directional information in the process,” explains Allen Mincer at New York University and a member of the Milagro team. One possibility, according to Mincer, is that a special structure of magnetic fields is somehow guiding the cosmic rays from their source to Earth. It is also possible that the cosmic rays are electrically neutral particles such as neutrons, however Mincer points out that neutron lifetime is too short to make this likely.

Cosmologists are puzzled
Other cosmologists are equally mystified by the results. “This is a very strange result as protons should be randomized by the galactic magnetic field,” says Dan Hooper at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in Illinois. “Somehow, a fraction of these particles are coming from one direction and I know of no especially plausible explanation.”

Troy Porter at the University of California, Santa Cruz, also points out that the Milagro researchers have investigated the signal thoroughly and it persists even after they have accounted for all the likely factors that could cause spurious detections, such as atmospheric distortions.

“It is interesting that the direction of the excess signal is in the direction of the tail of the heliosphere — the solar magnetic field,” says Porter. “However, it is hard to know what to make of this, since we don’t expect a lot of material to be concentrated in this region that could interact with ‘normal’ cosmic rays and produce secondary particles such as neutrons that could travel in a straight line to the Earth, thereby accounting for this effect.”
Next generation may give the answer

The Milagro researchers are now looking forward to their proposed next generation experiment — the High Altitude Water Cherenkov experiment (HAWC) in Mexico, which will be at a higher altitude and sensitive to lower energy cosmic rays.

“We are nearing the 100-year anniversary of the discovery of cosmic rays and we still do not have proof of where they come from,” says John Pretz at the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico. “If these hot spots are due to a source of cosmic rays, then it would be the solution to a 100 year old riddle. It is also exciting because, for the first time, we are starting to see isolated features in the cosmic-ray sky and that can help us understand their origin.”

Seeker, yes you might say this has strayed a bit, but as I look through the posts I do notice that each addition (birthdays aside 😉 ) drills a little deeper in a specific trajectory into what the effects of a novel energetic impulse might be on the individual. A new frequency pattern might well knock some stuff loose on the levels of being which are finer than the physical, yet affect the physical as well. Something these days seems charged (and I’m not talking about holiday shopping 😆 ). So thanks for pointing out that we’ve meandered, and let’s get back on course 😀 (btw, that link was posted by tiaka9 here, but a second link to it is great, as it’s very interesting indeed!)

Does anyone know of any research as to the human response to specific fingerprints of cosmic ray bursts? It’d be an interesting thing to correlate. IF it is that which I am sensing, myself, it might explain my recent inability to sleep and the exponential rise in the amount of clearing out and rearranging I’m doing now. I have a pile of stuff I’m donating to a thrift shop tomorrow, and I have been looking at many many things that used to be important, now I feel like I’m in a completely different reality, like it’s suddenly alien, meaningless, unnecessary. And oh lordy the dreams I’ve been having!

I found this about cosmic rays in general (link):

Cosmic rays (CR) are not really rays at all, but particles. They are ionised atoms ranging from a single proton up to an iron nucleus and beyond, but being typically protons and alpha particles. They originate from space, being produced by a number of different sources, such as the Sun, other stars, and more exotic objects, such as supernova and their remnants, neutron stars and black holes, as well as active galactic nuclei and radio galaxies. Cosmic ray particles are travelling very close to the speed of light, and the most energetic particle ever observed had about 20 Joules of kinetic energy (equivalent to the energy of a fast shot ball). The number density of CR integrated over energy (> 100 MeV/nucleus) is about 10**-10 cm**-3 in the vicinity of the Earth. The total energy density of CR particles is about 1 eVcm**-3…

The Earth’s atmosphere protects us from being exposed to these particles. As a cosmic ray enters the atmosphere, it will collide with a particle in there (usually a nitrogen or oxygen molecule), or interact with the molecules, exciting them and thus causing an outer space influence upon the Earth’s environment. Cosmic rays are creating the same, harmfull effects in near space around the Earth as are the radiation belts and, in addition, affect radio communication in polar regions (see also space weather).

I think this is interesting relevant to the effect of ionisation, global warming, and channeling.

Of the three types of cosmic rays, (galactic, solar, and anomalous) the article seems to suggest these to be anomalous:

The anomalous cosmic rays (ACR) are most likely produced by neutral atoms in the interstellar space, which
* leak into the heliosphere,
* …get ionized by solar UV radiation or charge exchange with the solar wind ,
* …are picked up by the solar wind and convected back to the outer heliosphere,
* …are accelerated, e.g., by the solar wind termination shock, and
* …diffuse and drift into the inner heliosphere as cosmic rays
The anomalous cosmic rays differ from others by their composition (Mewldt, 1994). While in GCRs and SEPs there are much more protons than helium, and equal amounts of oxygen and carbon, in ACRs there are more helium than protons, and much more oxygen than carbon. This can be explained with the production scheme outlined above, which selects only those elements that are predominantly neutral in the interstellar medium: it is known that the first ionization potential of such atoms as oxygen and helium is high. It is thus possible to obtain information about the relative abundances of neutral atoms in the local interstellar medium by studying ACRs. Other difference is that ACR are singly charged, while GCRs have been stripped of their electrons during their millions year passage through the galaxy. Also, the energy of ACRs does not reach the highest values found in GCRs.

This bit makes me wonder about things like, if we are (as Alex Collier talked about in UFO’s thread) at about 18% oxygen with a thinning atmosphere, is the mechanism of the universe so specific that we would experience an influx of oxygen from a source other than the polluted air we breathe? Could that be possible… I have no idea, but it’s an interesting thought, and I’d love to know the science of this, anyone know anything about this? And the acceleration at the solar termination shock brings to mind the idea of stars as lenses focusing specific “bends” of light as information (this comes up in my writing from time to time, but I haven’t got the full picture of how that works… this is an interesting idea to me for that reason).

Zingdad, I will check out that thread on GLP when I’ve digested my breakfast! 10 pages… would be nice to have an automatic editor for that site, to cull through the meaningful responses and delete the nonsense. Would probably cut it down to a quick read! 😆

And yes, I think something did “slip in under the radar”… my channeling has reflected it, my personal communications with the Pleiadians has too. Right now, I think it’s shaking planetary nonsense loose and kicking out a lot of anger and base emotions. Even in the most loving lightworkers and planetary midwives, it’s showing, and that’s as it should be. The audience is paying attention, and we are the ones who demonstrate how to transmute lead into gold. We are teaching alchemy through our actions in light of these potent new energies.

Here’s what I channeled last night, in a personal communication for myself:

“In immediate future, you will see a big change coming. Many people of Earth have been experiencing a lot of anger, loaded with excitement, confusion and dread. It is a volatile combination, and when the energies of accelerated change are added to the mix, it could be quite explosive. Are we engaging your collective attention yet? With busy holiday time upon the masses, our presence has perhaps not had front-page headline status yet. We will, though, quite soon, and we are not talking about just flying around in an aerial light show. We are talking about contact of the third kind, face-to-face communication…”

Pluto just moved into Capricorn. Pluto moves very slowly, and is the death knell, or harbinger of transformation, for whatever sign it is in. Annan, you are familiar with this! So let us hold our hats to our hearts as we watch the throes of capitalism and all the other “isms”… snif.
