Oh, and I forgot to mention… Zing, there’s an Alabama nearish to you, in South Africa. That’s certainly in the southern hemisphere.

Alusa, I had thoughts that there’d be more than one ship, too. If not, there oughta be!

Aw, man, Zing’s video cut off early! More more more, Adamu/Zing! 😀 😯 😆

Tiaka, I looked up the coordinates you posted on the snow cone, Mt. Taranaki, New Zealand. And lots of other stuff. It’s the highest peak in NZ, treacherous to climb, nice to ski. It is a stratovolcano which could erupt at any time, in a seismically active area. It is one of the most perfectly symmetrical peaks in the world. The “shadow” around it is actually the forested area of a national park, with a circular perimeter and grazing land up to the fences.

Here are some pictures.
This first one looks kind of like a UFO floating over land, dontcha think, if you squint?

Here’s the “snow cone” shot:

Here’s the volcano-cam.

Interesting to me was seeing a reference to Massey University (near to the peak) in the wikipedia entry… One of my favorite professors from college is teaching there now, and I have not tried to contact him for almost 20 years now. Until last week. I looked him up and there he is. I had no idea, thought he was in Canada. 🙄

Here’s another wee bug for you, Annu… I’m editing to show the URLs, as the images don’t imbed properly, dang it.

Okay mates, I’ve got the video libraries set up now… so all those into frequency modulation via good music and video, who want to have a hand in building the site, this is an invitation. Fun stuff goes here, songs, movie clips, tv shows, performance art… all geared to the light in some delightful way.

Here’s the link…

I’ve picked my husband’s brain, since mine’s on other topics ATM, and I’ve loaded some of the videos you all have mentioned on this thread, just to get some things tucked away here and there. The page on the site is just to collect for the enjoyment of our members and visitors, all in one place. It in no way takes the place of this thread…

SO, my hearties… if you’re feeling adventurous and want to help build the Book of Light, go at it! Probably the easiest way to add videos is to follow the link from the “My Light” button on the front page, then go to “Contribute Your Light” and click on Video. Then follow the instructions on that page… I’m happy to answer questions as I can but Annu can field any sticky problems (You’re welcome, Mel!)… I’ve been adding lyrics, too, since that’s fun too.

Enjoy!

Welcome, Orissa!

I have some similar memories of the Cathar massacres and being burned at the stake more than once, among other things. Much resonance with your tale… ah, the good ol’ days, can’t wait for ’em! Just kidding… Glad you’ve wandered over this way, looking forward to getting to know you on the forums! 🙂

[opalescent]

I’m having the same thing happen… 🙁

Perhaps there’s something to the shadow in the sky phenomenon many are witnessing and documenting. Here’s an interesting video… er, what is it? Towards the end the camera pans to show an enormous shadow.

Hackers claim there’s a black hole in the atom smashers’ computer network
Mike Harvey and Mark Henderson

Hackers have broken into one of the computer networks of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).

A group calling itself the Greek Security Team left a rogue webpage describing the technicians responsible for computer security at the giant atom smasher as “schoolkids” — but reassuring scientists that they did not want to disrupt the experiment.

The hackers gained access to a website open to other scientists on Wednesday as the LHC passed its first test, sending its protons off on their dizzying journey through time and space, close to the speed of light.

The work of the scientists was not derailed and insiders scoffed at claims that the hackers were “one step away” from the systems controlling the experiment itself. The engineering team completed four days of scheduled work in the first 24 hours but what physicists are really waiting for is the big bang machine’s first collisions.

Apart from being wide of the mark from a scientific point of view, fears that the LHC might bring the world to an end this week were in any case premature because it was never going to smash any particles so early on.

This week’s successful start-up means that that should now happen sooner than expected, perhaps as early as the first week in October.

Doomsayers take note: there is still a slim chance that a microscopic (and harmless) black hole will be created, but only once the accelerator starts colliding protons together at close to its maximum energy.

The hackers appear to have targeted the computer system of the Compact Muon Solenoid Experiment, one of the four detectors that will be analysing the progress of the experiment.

James Gillies, a spokesman for CERN, the European Laboratory for Network Collision, home of the LHC, said: “We don’t know who they were but there seems to be no harm done. It appears to be people who want to make a point that CERN was hackable,” he added.

CERN officials are now confident that the collider will have started experiments to generate new physics well before world leaders visit on October 21 to inaugurate the project.

Many countries will send their heads of state or government to the event: President Sarkozy of France, President Couchepin of Switzerland and President Köhler of Germany have the date in their diaries, and either President Medvedev of Russia or Vladimir Putin may attend.

The British Prime Minister, however, has apparently decided to skip the opportunity to be publicly associated with black holes. Responding to a query about whether Gordon Brown would be there to celebrate the passing of the Apocalypse, Downing Street told The Times “to call back nearer the time”. Describing the CERN team’s progress, Mr Gillies said: “There is a 31-day schedule before the first high-energy collisions, and on Wednesday they did Days 1 to 4.”

On Wednesday night, one beam was circulated around the LHC’s ring about 300 times, and on Thursday, the anti-clockwise beam was fired around the accelerator for half an hour so it could be “captured” and made to travel in neat, compact pulses.

Protons make about 11,000 laps per second, which means 20 million circuits have been achieved. The next crucial step is likely next week, when the captured beams will be fired in opposite directions, and crashed into each other inside the four huge detectors.

A couple of weeks later is the real moment of truth. The LHC’s superconducting magnets will be fired up to 70 per cent of maximum power, producing proton beams with an energy of 5 teraelectronvolts (TeV) — 5,000 billion electrovolts — and crashing them together. “That’s where the new physics starts,” Dr Gillies said. It is possible that scientists will start accumulating the evidence that could prove supersymmetry, the hypothesis that all particles have a twin.

The plan next year is to ramp it up to its maximum energy of 7TeV. The accelerator will then be providing results that should shed light on some of the central questions in physics.

jamwolfsky, I think the American colloquial is “beating a dead horse” 😉
We have to better understand life in order to breathe it into what we perceive as death.
Let the love flow…

It’s no trick to love the loveable. You learn nothing about love if you are only surrounded by beings that love you. To REALLY learn about love you need to find someone that presents as un-loveable!

The fast track to loving the unloveable: Loving yourself.

What I get from the last paragraph is something that has been nascent in my consciousness for a while. That we are, each of us, not just the self that we perceive… the human walking around in this life… we are also all the other possible expressions that we might have been. That is to say we are, each of us, every single permutation that we could possibly have expressed. We are the highest and the lowest, the best and the worst of everything that might have been. We are all of it. The fact that we only perceive one time-line is simply our current perspective. All of the other time-lines also exist. We just can’t see them yet because we haven’t actualized them into our experience yet. But rising to a multidimensional perspective will bring all this into view. Then each of us will know the ALL of what we are. We will know the same about all of our other incarnations – the ALL of them. And all of this will be our range of experience. And THEN we shall proceed with a wonderful and complete understanding of Self. And go on to other much grander realizations of self as we progress all the way back to Oneness with ALL THAT IS.

Yeah, and I see that much like Alex Grey’s artwork!

On that subject, I must share this as well… (I sure hope this embeds… otherwise the link is here.

And somehow that has begun to get entangled with the Oct 14 message of hope. I first encountered this site and its message in tandem with the 10/14 info, anyway. Where’s the love, man? 😐

Oh, wait a minute… that’s right, it’s here, duh! 😆

Yay for Annu, webmistress extraordinaire! What a great job, the site is working faster and smoother than ever… loving this latest incarnation of your dream 😀

A warm welcome back to anyone chased away by the virus or any spectres it conjured, virtual or otherwise… Virus, I hereby dub you the Love Bug

tiaka, my thoughts exactly when the “snow cone” reference came out… Mount Fuji, etc., extinct volcanoes covered with snow.

There’s a new photo of the “sky phenomenon” posted http://10-14-08.blogspot.com/
Ya know what this looks like to me? A great big shadow of something just over the horizon. I wonder… what on earth could cast such a huge shadow? 😎

It’d be interesting to note the times such “shadows” are seen and the angle of the sun to the earth…

[opalescent]

So, quietsound… how are you?
