Drop in solar activity has potential effect for climate on earth.

The sun has reached a milestone not seen for nearly 100 years: an entire month has passed without a single visible sunspot being noted.

The event is significant as many climatologists now believe solar magnetic activity – which determines the number of sunspots -- is an influencing factor for climate on earth.

According to data from Mount Wilson Observatory, UCLA, more than an entire month has passed without a spot. The last time such an event occurred was June of 1913. Sunspot data has been collected since 1749.

Introduction :

Most scientific theories describing the fundamental nature of the universe treat the existence of life--of intelligence--as an evolutionary afterthought or "lucky accident" which somehow occurred by mere chance. "Integrated Theory of Intelligence" rejects this view as fundamentally lacking. In this pioneering effort, intelligence-consciousness is proposed as an intrinsic aspect of existence just as fundamental as the known attributes of matter-energy and space-time, forming with them an interdependent process of ongoing creation that has resulted in our present universe.

Working from an original set of axioms defining the basic properties exhibited by intelligence, the reader is taken on a thought-provoking tour which integrates into the book's proposed theoretical framework the latest findings from a host of scientific disciplines. Interwoven with the text are insights from such fields as biochemistry, neurophysiology, physics, cosmology, biology, genetics, and humanistic psychology, among others. Both panoramic and detailed, this look at the accumulating evidence posits the existence of intelligence as an unavoidable force in the operation of all phenomena, ultimately giving rise to the evolution of life and consciousness.

Written at a level that both lay readers and scientists not yet acquainted with these specialized fields can understand and absorb, this new view should fascinate anyone who is at all interested in intelligence and consciousness and how they have developed.

Rigorous yet balanced in its approach, "Integrated Theory of Intelligence" will challenge theorists and mystics alike to rethink how they look at the universe, mind, consciousness, the brain, and ultimately life itself.

In the book entitled the "Integrated Theory of Intelligence" the premise is developed that all facets of our existence are strongly interrelated and interdependent. Many centuries ago it was postulated that all physical existence was comprised of earth, water, fire and air. The current theory reframes these basic "ingredients" in the present-day language of matter-energy, space-time, and intelligence-consciousness. Others may choose to list a different set of ingredients based upon their interpretation of reality; but no matter how our analytical-reductionist mind may divide existence into discrete entities, someday it will nevertheless be established that all objects within our perceived reality are interrelated and interdependent. This in fact is the present-day goal of physicists pursuing what has come to be known as the "Theory of Everything."

The Integrated Theory of Intelligence predicts that not only are the basic ingredients interrelated - no matter how we define them - but that someday it will be proven there is actually only one basic substance within the universe, and that the ingredients as we presently perceive them would be more usefully viewed as evolved properties of that one substance. This is somewhat analogous to the way many physicists now believe that there was only one superforce at the moment of universal creation, which soon thereafter divided into the four (or more) physical forces.

The theory postulates that as matter-energy is continually subdivided within the subatomic realm into smaller and smaller components, it eventually dissolves, or reduces to, the background of space to become part of it. It is suggested here, therefore, that matter is actually a very highly condensed form of space. If so, this would account for the "virtual particles" which seem to be continuously popping into and out of existence everywhere throughout space. If this is true, it would provide us with the link between matter-energy and space-time. Einstein's General Theory of Relativity also makes the prediction that matter-energy is interrelated to space-time.

It will be considerably more difficult to prove that intelligence-consciousness forms a common bond with matter-energy and space-time for the following reasons. Most scientists are searching for an explanation of our physical existence that incorporates only matter-energy and space-time and many of them also believe that intelligence-consciousness is an epiphenomenon that occurred by chance, playing no role in the direction of the evolutionary process. This bias will slow the recognition of the interdependence of these properties.

The evidence to date is insufficient to prove that the universe is comprised of only one basic substance as here suggested. Nevertheless, in the interest of sketching out the ramifications of the theory in full, it should be stated here that the theory does lead to such an eventual prediction.

The nature of consciousness has yet to be defined in modern terms even though a great deal of time and effort has been devoted to this endeavor, particularly over the last several decades. The question as to its origin and significance dates back to antiquity but only recently have we gained enough understanding as to its place within the usual scheme of things, to begin to unravel this mystery. It is my current belief that we must begin with one of two choices. It would appear that consciousness must either be a primary property of the universe being present at the beginning or developed later as an epiphenomenon. If one were to poll most scientists I would guess that the majority would side with those individuals who believe consciousness to be an epiphenomenon. Most research scientists who have devoted themselves to the study of the mind-brain believe consciousness to be an epiphenomenon of the electrochemical events occurring within the brain. There is simply no question that consciousness is heavily influenced by these electrochemical events but it is also most doubtful that they are the cause of consciousness.

For many years I remained an agnostic relative to whether consciousness represents a primary or secondary phenomenon since I could not find compelling reasons to choose either viewpoint over the other. I now believe that there is enough information, much of which is scientifically based, to allow for a clear choice. As a matter of fact I would even suggest that the evidence is overwhelming and those whose persist in choosing the other alternative are selectively ignoring the preponderance of information available.

When the Integrated Theory of Intelligence was first developed in 1984 there was less scientific evidence to support the conclusions offered in the text. Since then there has been considerable progress and there is more scientific evidence accumulating to support the theory. For those that are interested, a reading list of books can be accessed through this web page, each with a short synopsis summarizing how the information within the book gives additional support to the concepts presented in the "Integrated Theory of Intelligence".

The hypothesis being presented is based upon the premise that consciousness is a primary property of the universe. Since most scientists are not willing to embrace this concept, the world view which ultimately follows, is still subject to question. It is my postulate that by accepting the premise that consciousness is a primary property, a more consistent picture emerges that best describes our reality.

There is now very strong evidence which suggests that our universe began in a manner best defined by the "Big Bang" Theory. Even though I have always been somewhat offended by a comic book name for what is arguably the greatest single event in the history of the universe, it would appear that the most essential parts of the theory are approximately correct.

The big bang theory postulates that the universe sprang forth from a singularity where matter-energy-space-time were compressed into an extraordinarily small volume prior to the moment of creation. Just prior to the expansion process there would have been an infinitely high or near infinitely high focus of energy without any formed matter in an infinitely or near infinitely small volume of space without the existence of time. This energy focus would have been homogeneous and undifferentiated without any recognizable form. One of the most important questions ever posed is whether intelligence-consciousness existed at the moment of creation or became manifest at some later date as a chance epiphenomenon. To explain all phenomenon that we observe I would have to conclude that intelligence-consciousness existed at the moment of creation and has been an active participant ever since. Whether the universe began as a singularity or not is currently open to debate. For example superstring theory does not require a singularity with infinite energy being compressed into an infinitely small volume of space. In superstring theory the expansion began with nearly infinite energy within a very small volume of space.

It would seem probable that at the moment of creation there was one uniform homogeneous basic substance without any form which best could be described as an almost infinitely high concentration of energy with the property of intelligence-consciousness and that following the big bang this energy began to rapidly dissipate into an increasingly larger volume of space being influenced by this property of intelligence-consciousness. This extremely high energy could not be manipulated into any significant form until it had dissipated into a sufficiently large volume of space thus allowing for a tremendous decrease in energy density. The higher the energy density the greater the chaos and the less order possible. Increasing order gradually appeared only as the energy density decreased. Spatial expansion was absolutely essential to allow for the evolution of higher order systems. There is a direct mathematical relationship between a decreasing energy density and the evolution of increasingly higher order systems. We will later discuss how increasing heat entropy, as defined by the second law of thermodynamics, is an essential part of the evolution to increasingly higher order systems containing increasingly greater amounts of information. This relationship is interrelated and both are dependent upon each other. We began with a universe that was infinitely hot with maximum chaos devoid of order which has evolved to a state where chaos has drastically decreased and order dramatically increased. This has occurred exponentially over time and will continue to do so as long as the universe is in state of expansion. The rate of evolution to higher order systems is directly dependent upon the rate of universal expansion. The greater the volume of the universe the less the energy density and the more that the chaos, which is a function of energy out of control, can be manipulated into order by the property of intelligence-consciousness.

A single superforce was present at the moment of creation as another property of the uniform, homogeneous, undifferentiated basic substance which differentiated into the four physical forces which we currently recognize.

At the moment of creation, intelligence-consciousness was totally unified with matter-energy without differentiation but with the potential to be divided up and fractionated into many forms, only a few of which we are currently aware. Our current paradigm would lead most to conclude that intelligence-consciousness is limited to humans or perhaps other human-like creatures on other planets in other galaxies. The theory being presented would allow for a great many other material and non-material forms that possess intelligence-consciousness, including systems that are both living and non-living. Intelligence-consciousness permeated the early universe and would have taken on any form that currently existed at any time throughout the evolutionary process. This is how intelligence-consciousness was able to influence this process resulting in a highly organized universe balanced between order and chaos. It began in a state of maximum chaos and minimal order and has evolved to greater and greater levels of order with lesser and lesser degrees of chaos, and has done so exponentially over time.

Despite its apparent materiality the universe is actually a kind of 3-D projection and is ultimately no more real than a hologram.

 
This astonishing idea was pioneered by two of the world’s most eminent thinkers, physicist David Bohm, a former protégé of Einstein, and the quantum physicist Karl Pribram. The holographic theory of the world encompasses not only reality as we know it, including hitherto unexplained phenomena, but is capable of explaining such occurrences as telepathy, paranormal and out-of-body experiences, synchronicity, ‘lucid’ dreaming and even mystical and religious traditions such as cosmic unity and miraculous healings.

 
Now, in The Holographic Universe, Michael Talbot reveals the extraordinary depth and power of this radical theory. He explains the theory behind a holograph and how it provides a model for aspects of brain function and for whole areas of quantum physics. Illustrating the paranormic way in which the holographic model makes sense of the entire range of mystical, spiritual and psychic experiences, Talbot pushes the barriers to explore the implications for other universes beyond our own.

Daring and ground-breaking, The Holographic Universe is a classic in the vein of Frijof Capra’s The Tao of Physics.

‘One of the cleverest writers around today... his eclectic mind ranges far into the deepest and often most controversial mysteries of modern science’.

Book excerpt: The Philosophy of Monistic Idealism - Mysticism & Religion

Mysticism

Realism grew out of everyday perceptions. In our everyday experiences of the world, evidence abounds that things are material and separate from each other and from us.

Of course, mental experiences do not fit neatly into such a formulation. Mental experiences, such as thought, do not seem to be material, so we have developed a dualistic philosophy that relegates mind and body to separate domains. The shortcomings ofdualism are well known. Notably, ikt cannot explain how a separate, non-material mind interacts with a material body. If there are such mind-body interactions, then there have to be exchanges of energy between the two domains. In myriad experiments, we find that the energy of the material universe by itself remains a constant (this is the law of conservation of energy). Neither has any evidence shown that energy is lost or gained from the mental domain. How can that be if there are interactions going on between the two domains?

Idealists, although they hold consciousness to be the primary reality and thus give value to our subjective, mental experiences, do not propose that consciousness is mind (beware of possible semantic confusion: consciousness is a relatively modern word in the English language. The word Mind is often used to denote consciousness, especially in the older literature. In this book, the distinction between the concepts of Mind and Consciousness is necessary and important.). Instead, they propose that material objects (such as a ball) and mental objects (such as the thought of a ball) are both objects in consciousness. In an experience there is also the subject, the experiencer. What is the nature of this experiencer? This is a question of utmost importance in Monistic Idealism.

According to Monistic Idealism, the consciousness of the subject in a subject-object experience is the same consciousness that is the ground of all being. Therefore, consciousness is unitive. There is only one subject - consciousness, and we are that consciousness. "Thou art that" say Hindu holy books known collectively as the Upanishads.

Why then in our ordinary experience do we feel so separate? This separateness, insists the mystic, is an illusion. If we mediate on the true nature of our self, we shall find, as mystics from many ages and times have found, that there is only one consciousness behind all the diversity. This one consciousness/subject/self goes by many names. Hindus refer to it as the atman. Christians call it the Holy Spirit, or in Quaker Christianity, the Inner-Light. By whatever name it is called, all agree that the experience of this one consciousness is of inestimable value.

[...]

Mystics, then, are hose people who offer testimony to this fundamental reality of unity in diversity. A sampling of mystical writings from different cultures and spiritual traditions bears witness to the universality of the mystical experience of unity:

"My being is God, not by simple participation, but by a true transformation of my being" Christian mystic Catherine Adorna of Genoa (XV^th).

"Our very self-nature is Buddha, and apart from this nature there is no other Buddha" Zen Buddhist Hui-Neng (VI^th)

"Thou art neither ceasing to be nor still existing. Thou art He, without one of these limitations. Then if thou know thine own existence thus, then thou knowest God; and if not, then not" Sufi mystic Ibn al-Arabi (XII^th).

"God...when he has just decided to launch upon his work of creation is called He. God in the complete unfolding of his Being, Bliss and Love, in which he becomes capable of being perceived by the reason of the heart...is called You. But God, in his supreme manifestation, where the fullness of His Being finds its final expression in the last and all-embracing of his attributes, is called I. Kabbalist Moses de Leon (XIV^th).

"But when you finally discover me, the inner naked Truth arisen from within, Absolute Awareness permeates the Universe" Buddhist Yeshe Tsogyel & Padmasambhava (VIII^th).

"In this breaking-through I receive that God and I are one. Then I am what I was, and then I neither diminish nor increase, for I am then an immovable cause that moves all things" Dominican monk Meister Ekhart (XIII^th).

"I am the Truth!" Sufi mystic Monsoor al Halaj (X^th).

"I am reality without beginning, without equal. I have no part in the illusion of I and You,  this and that. I am Brahman, one without a second, bliss without end, the eternal, unchanging truth...I dwell within all beings as the soul, the pure consciousness, the ground of all phenomena, internal and external. I am both the enjoyer and that which is enjoyed. In the days of my ignorance, I used to think of these as being separate from myself. Now I know that I am All" Hindu mystic Shankara (VII^th)

"My father and I are one" Jesus of Nazareth

What is the value of the experience of unity, For the mystic, it opens the door to a transformation of being that liberates love, universal compassion, and freedom from the bondage of living in acquired separateness and from the compensating attachments to which we cling. (This liberated being is called moksha in Sanskrit).

The idealist philosophy grew out of the experiences and creative intuitions of mystics, who constantly stress the direct experiential aspect of the underlying reality. "The Tao that can be spoken is not the absolute Tao, "said Lao Tzu. The Mystics caution that all teachings and metaphysical writings must be regarded as fingers pointing to the moon rather than as the moon itself.

As the Lankavatara Sutra reminds us: "These teachings are only finger pointing to the Noble Wisdom...They are intended for the consideration and guidance of the discriminating minds of all people, but they are not the Truth itself, which can only be self-realized within one's own deepest consciousness"

Alternatively, some mystics resort to paradoxical descriptions. Writes Ibn al-Arabi: "It (consciousness) is neither attributed with being nor with nonbeing...It is neither existent nor non-existent. It is not said to be either the First or the Last."

Indeed, the idealist metaphysics itself can be seen to be paradoxical, involving as it does, the paradoxical concept of transcendence. What is transcendence? The philosophy can only say, neti, neti - not this, not that. But what it is? The philosophy remains silent. Or, alternatively, says one of the Upanishads: "It is within all this / It is outside all this"

Is the transcendent realm within the immanent world? Yes. Is it outside the immanent world ? Yes. It gets very confusing.

The idealist philosophy also remains largely silent in answering such question as, How does the undivided consciousness divide into subject-object reality? How does the one consciousness become many? Saying that the observed multiplicity of the world is an illusion hardly satisfy us.

[...] monistic idealism is the correct philosophy for science in view of quantum physics. The integration of science and mysticism also helps resolve one of the difficult question raised by mysticism.

The integration of science and mlysticism should not be too disconcerting. After all, they share an important similarity: Both grew out of empirical data interpreted in the light of theoretical explanatory principles. In science, theory serves both as explanation of data and as the instrument of prediction and guidance for future experiments. The idealist philosophy, too, can be viewed as a creative theory that acts as an explanation of empirical observations of the mystics as well as guidance for other researcher of Truth. Finally, like science, mysticism seems to be a universal enterprise. There is no parochialism in mysticism. Parochialism enters when religions simplify mystical teachings to make them more communicable to the masses of humankind.

The Crucial Science Fable--In-formation in Nature

Our review of the puzzles encountered at the frontiers of science has set the stage for the quest to which Part One of this book is dedicated: to discover the basis for a scientifically founded Integral Theory of Everything (I-TOE). We have gained an important insight. We have found that in order to account for a growing number of things and processes that are undoubtedly real and are likely to be fundamental, a new factor needs to be added to the repertory of laws and concepts of contemporary science. What is this new factor? Let us look at the principal findings:

• Astonishingly close connections exist on the level of the quantum: every particle that has ever occupied the same quantum state as another particle remains correlated with it in a mysterious, non-energetic way.
• The universe as a whole manifests fine-tuned connections that defy commonsense explanation.
• Post-Darwinian evolutionary theory and quantum biology discover similarly puzzling connections within the organism, as well as between the organism and its milieu.
• The connections that come to light in the farther reaches of consciousness research are just as strange: they are connections between the consciousness of one person and the mind and body of another.

These connections indicate links between the particles that make up the material substance of the universe, as well as between the parts or elements of the integrated systems constituted of the particles. The links fine-tune the particles and the elements of the systems, creating space- and time-transcending coherence among them.

The surprising “nonlocal” forms of coherence crop up in fields as diverse as quantum physics, cosmology, evolutionary biology, and consciousness research. Some physicists--John Bell and Chris Clarke among them--suggest that nonlocality may be in fact the deeper reality; ordinary, so-called “classical” or “decoherent” states (states where things have a unique location and a unique set of physical characteristics) may appear merely as a consequence of the way we interact with medium-sized things--things that are neither as small as quanta nor as large as the cosmos.

Independent of the truth of such speculations, it is clear that nonlocal coherence has important implications. It signals that there is not only matter and energy in the universe, but also a more subtle yet real element: an element that connects and produces the observed quasi-instant forms of coherence.

ENTER THE AKASHIC FIELD

The idea that information is present throughout nature is a recurrent theme in cultural history, but it is new to Western science. It calls for the recognition that information is not an abstract concept: as “in-formation” it has a reality of its own. It is a part of the physical universe. And since it is present throughout nature, it is best conceptualized as an extended field.

Rationale for an In-formation Field

The evidence for a field that would conserve and convey information is not direct; it must be reconstructed in reference to more immediately available evidence. Like other fields known to modern physics, such as the gravitational field, the electromagnetic field, the quantum fields, and the Higgs field, the in-formation field cannot be seen, heard, touched, tasted, or smelled. However, this field produces effects, and these can be perceived. This is the same in regard to all the fields known to science. For example, the gravitational or G-field cannot be perceived: when we drop an object to the ground, we see the object falling but not the field that makes it fall--we see the effect of the G-field but not the G-field itself.

In the case of the field that could account for the presence of in-formation in nature, the evidence is the puzzling, quasi-instant form of coherence that comes to light in the physical, cosmological, and biological sciences, as well as in consciousness research. These phenomena call for an explanation, and the simplest and most logical explanation is a field that links the entities that prove to be nonlocally coherent.

Although fields, like other entities, are not to be multiplied beyond the scope of necessity, it seems evident that a further field is required to account for the special kind of coherence revealed at all scales and domains of nature, from the microdomain of quanta, through the meso-domain of life, to the macrodomain of the cosmos. We need to recognize that just as electric and magnetic effects are conveyed by the EM-field, attraction among massive objects by the G-field, and attraction and repulsion among the particles of the nucleus by quantum fields, so nonlocal coherence is conveyed by a field: the universal in-formation field.

The Akashic Field

In my previous books I named the universal in-formation field the Akashic Field, or A-field for short. What is the reason for this name?

In the Sanskrit and Indian cultures, Akasha is an all-encompassing medium that underlies all things and becomes all things. It is real, but so subtle that it cannot be perceived until it becomes the many things that populate the manifest world. Our bodily senses do not register Akasha, but we can reach it through spiritual practice. The ancient Rishis reached it through a disciplined, spiritual way of life, and through yoga. They described their experience, and made Akasha an essential element of the philosophy and mythology of India.

The Akashic vision of a cyclic universe--of a Metaverse that creates universe after universe--is essentially the vision we now get from cosmology. In the new physics the unified, physically real vacuum is the equivalent of Akasha. It is the original field out of which emerged particles and atoms, stars and planets, human and animal bodies, and all the things that can be seen and touched. It is a dynamic, energy-filled medium in ceaseless fluctuation. The vacuum is Akasha and Prana rolled into one--the womb of all the “matter” and all the “force” in the universe.

The Coming of Solar Cycle 24

Strange Space Weather Over Africa

~~Welcome 2 the Dawn~~

I keep u updated. Here are the last news on the upcoming Cycle. This is an interesting article with some explanations as regards the parameters to be observed for an old ending cycle and for a beginning one. Parameters such as "reverse polarity sunspot" and "high latitude sunspot".

From sidc.be: Welcome to Solar Cycle 24, an area in the northern hemisphere of the solar disk at a rather high latitude with a leading negative and trailing positive polarity is spotted: this could be the first indication of the start of solar cycle 24!

From solarcycle24.com : "A non-sunspot plage region rotated into view on the northeastern limb around Dec 11 and was reverse magnetic polarity, therefore falling into the Solar Cycle 24 category. It was never classified a sunspot, but some pictures show that it was very close".

From KN4LF.com : "Anecdotal evidence points to solar cycle 23 minimum in October 2007 with a monthly International Sunspot Index (ISSI) number of 0.9. The lowest daily solar flux reading since July 1996 of 64.4 occurred on September 28, 2007. The lowest maximum daily Solar Flux Index (SFI) reading since October 1996 of 71 occurred on September 01, 2007.

However a brand new Coronal Hole #299 formed on 11/14/2007, then #301 on 11/24/2007 and #302 on 11/30/2007. We have also seen new sunspot group activity on 11/06/2007, 11/13/2007, between 11/24-26/2007 and 12/01-07-2007. All of these recent sunspot groups carry a solar cycle 23 magnetic polarity.

This put’s in doubt the anecdotal evidence that solar cycle #23 bottomed out in 10/2007. However we will have to see what the Smoothed Sunspot Number (SSN) is for September and October 2007.

Some good news for pending solar cycle 24 is a new mid latitude plage/sunspot group that rose above the eastern horizon of the Sun on Wednesday 12/12/2007. It has a magnetic polarity of a cycle 24 sunspot group."

Here we are folks, day to day, scientists are decoding the brain a little bit more and are able to understand the electromagnetic mechanisms of human thoughts.

Experience has been carried out on a young man and the results are outstanding: the young man has learnt how to move a cursor around a screen, play simple games, control a robotic arm and turn his brain into a TV remote control only by the power of his thoughts !! This is what is called Mind Control !

I can foresee the bad implications of this "evolution" ...

SAN FRANCISCO (Business 2.0 Magazine) - -- Two years ago, a quadriplegic man started playing video games using his brain as a controller. That may just sound like fun and games for the unfortunate, but really, it spells the beginning of a radical change in how we interact with computers - and business will never be the same.

Are you ready for this one ? The Solar activity of this Cycle will most probably culminate around 2012. It will surely be the most monitored Solar Cycle ever !

The Sun, our star, is the principal actor as regards what is called Space Weather. Space weather do influence communications, transportation, and electrical power systems on Earth but it influences also biological life and Human Society as well !

From: windows.ucar.edu

"Although space weather forecasts are not normally featured on the evening news, space weather does impact life on Earth in many ways. Our modern, technologically complex systems - including communications, transportation, and electrical power systems - can be disrupted and damaged by space weather storms. Exposure to radiation can threaten astronauts and commercial air travellers alike, and has affected the evolution of life on Earth. Space weather probably alters the weather and climate on our planet, though we don't yet have a precise understanding of those influences"

Word is spreading that the Sun has finally begun its new cycle ...

Solar Cycle Activity Overview, courtesy SOHO (NASA/ESA)

Solar activity is indicated by the Sunspot Number, Solar flux and Solar Flares:

- Sunspot number : Sunspot number varies in phase with the solar flux. Sunspot numbers can vary between zero (for sunspot minimum periods) to values in excess of 350 or 400 (in the very active "solar max" period of the suns 11 year cycle).

Sunspot Activity, Image courtesy SOHO (NASA/ESA)

- Solar flux: amount of solar light emitted by the sun at 10.7cm wavelenght radiowaves (2800 MHz). It can vary from values below 50 to values in excess of 300 (representing very low solar activity and high to very high solar activity respectively). Values in excess of 200 occur typical during the peak of the solar cycles.

- Solar flares: violent explosion in the Sun's atmosphere with an energy equivalent to tens of millions of hydrogen bombs

~~ Welcome 2 the Dawn ~~

A phenomenon known as Ion plume is occuring right now in the upper atmosphere (ionosphere) above Africa. The ion plumes are made of electrified particles and may appear during geomagnetic storms.

Geomagnetic storms are often associated with Solar Coronal Mass Ejections (CME) and Solar Wind. CME eject out of the Sun's corona billion of charged particles (up to 10¹³kg mostly of e^-and p⁺) into the Solar Wind that propagates throughout the Solar System. The Solar Wind is a energetic stream of charged particles permanently emanating from the Sun. Solar wind velocity is in the range from 300 to 600 km/s, but some impulsive events like solar flares or CME's can produce speeds over 1000 km/s! At that speed it takes about 2 days for the energetic wind to reach the Earth'sneighborhood.

Well known effects of a geomagnetic storm are the aurorae phenomena, disturbances of communication and navigation systems, changes in the human biological systems ...

Lately though there has been no known CME and so no induced geomgnetic storm ...

Nov. 13, 2007: Something strange is happening in the atmosphere above Africa and researchers have converged on Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, to discuss the phenomenon. The Africa Space Weather Workshop kicked off Nov. 12th with nearly 100 scientists and students in attendance.

The strange phenomenon that brings all these people together is the ion plume—"a newly discovered form of space weather," says University of Colorado atmospheric scientist and Workshop co-organizer Tim Fuller-Rowell.

Researchers liken the plumes to smoke billowing out of a factory smokestack—except instead of ordinary ash and dust, ion plumes are made of electrified gas floating so high above ground they come in contact with space itself. "The plumes appear during geomagnetic storms and they can interfere with satellite transmissions, airline navigation and radio communications," says Fuller-Rowell. Indeed, it is their effect on GPS signals that led to the discovery of plumes over North America just a few years ago.

The truth about global warming - it's the Sun that's to blame

Climate chaos? Don't believe it

The movie (An Inconvenient Truth by Al Gore)purportedly shows the ecological and environmental damages being done to our planet by us humans. Gore has now won the Nobel Peace Prize.

Some, however, would dare to differ with the former vice president on shrinking Himalayan glaciers, the snowcap on Mt. Kilimanjaro, the expanding African desert and the meltdown of the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets.

Many of them are learned people, such as James Taylor, senior fellow for environment policy at the Heartland Institute, who claims Gore distorts science and ignores data that defies his theory of global warming.

Some environmentalists, such as Britain's Prince Phillip, formerly the president of the World Wildlife Fund, are showing us the hidden hand behind the eco-environmental movement.

The objective now is to elaborate on the Resonance phenomenon reaching now its natural frequency of oscillation on the physical and spiritual plane of the interlinked Humanity.

Schumann Resonances must be identified as the Earthbeats (as far as I understand), the response of the celestial body Earth to the low frequency cosmic energies. Via Schumann waves the interlinked Humanity is in resonance to the mother Earth, to the Sun and to the Cosmos. This makes possible for humans a direct contact to the Universe with their consciousness if they are rightly attuned.

Now that a growing self-aware global consciousness is arising, this attuning must be seen as a Polarization of the Global Brain by the Mind of God with the omnipresent frequency of God /L.O.V.E. (Limitless Oscillating Vibrational Energy).  From a Theosophical point of view I might say we re finally accessing on a global scale what is called the Akashic Records through the all-pervading Aether ,this sea of energy all around US connecting the tiniest molecule to the Universe.

The Shift is Now !

Earth as a living organism is witnessing ascension 2 a higher level of consciousness: the global consciousness, the consciousness of God. Since Humanity has evolved and is now an integrated part (as a whole) of the Celestial Earth, it is likely to shift to a higher state of consciousness like an electronic orbital around the nucleus submitted to proper frequency radiation. Such shifts may have happened in the past and have permitted the different stages of evolution of the living beings on Earth, especially the Human Family.

Thus I might say that it is because of Earth has been submitted to Cosmic radiation and has evolved throughout the ages as a living organism that the Human Evolution has been induced. We must even see larger than this “local” ascension: this resonance is recorded here on Earth but is even recorded in the entire solar system (**).

It’s just like the Earth has got through a Solar Initiation, the Sun itself getting through a Galactic Initiation and so on … The Living Universe is evolving microscopically as well as macroscopically speaking. It regenerates Itself just like a cosmic moulting serpent.

Living Earth – Living Galaxy and evolution on a mass-scale.

We have focused our attention on the Bio-physical-related attuning with cosmic local and non-local ELF energies by The Global Mind, this attuning allows mental states to improve/ manage bio-physical states (protein synthesis, biological cycles…); but let’s not forget there is another attuning going on, a Spiritual/Metaphysical merging between cosmic higher vibrational frequencies of LIGHT and The Soul of Humanity. The Soul is submitted to higher frequency energies en entering higher modes of vibrations.

There is a (re)connection of the Human Soul with Its Higher Self and thus a (re)connection of Humanity with God! We are leaving physical reality to inhabit a spiritually empowered higher vibrational dimension. For some esoterical groups we are accesing the 5^th Dimension, the 4^th being this transitional dimension of self-understanding,  self-realization and self-achievement.

We are currently attuning to the ONE song of the UNIVERSE.

It’s Time 2 Wake Up !

Welcome 2 SYNXronisation !

An Australian researcher (Dr John Papandriopoulos ) is on the road to riches after discovering a way to make broadband connections up to 100 times faster.

University of Melbourne research fellow Dr John Papandriopoulos is in the throes of moving to Silicon Valley after developing an algorithm to reduce the electromagnetic interference that slows down ADSL connections.

Most ADSL services around the world are effectively limited to speeds between 1 to 20Mbps, but if Dr Papandriopoulos's technology is successfully commercialised that speed ceiling would be closer to 100Mbps.

Objects in space, such as planets, stars and galaxies, emit light (electromagnetic energy) at many different wavelengths, visible but also invisible. Some of the light they emit has very large wavelengths (> 100000 km) and thus quite low frequency (< 30Hz). These long waves presenting wavelenghts as big as the celestial bodies dimensions (radius and circumference) are in the invisible radio region of the electromagnetic spectrum and are categorized as ELF (Extremely Low Frequency: [3..30]Hz), SLF (Super Low Frequency: [30..300]Hz), and ULF (Ultra Low Frequency: [300..3000]Hz).

Celestial bodies are very sensitive to these low frequency energies and bodies like Earth, thanks to its magnetic field and atmosphere, acts as an antenna for the reception and as a transfer function for the re-emission of this cosmic energy to us – especially for the charged Solar Wind. Such radiation as the Solar Wind induces the occurrence of ELF resonant standing waves in the cavity between earth surface and ionosphere, they are known as Schumann Resonance.

Solar Wind - Parker Spiral

From wikipedia.org “In physics, resonance is the tendency of a system to oscillate at maximum amplitude at a certain frequency. This frequency is known as the system's resonance frequency (or resonant frequency). When damping is small, the resonance frequency is approximately equal to the natural frequency of the system, which is the frequency of free vibrations.”. Resonance phenomenon is obtained between an emission source and a rightly attuned exposed receiver. Moreover a resonance object, whether mechanical, acoustic, or electrical, will probably have more than one resonance frequency (especially harmonics of the strongest resonance). It will be easy to vibrate at those frequencies, and more difficult to vibrate at other frequencies.

On the other side, a number of studies (*) have shown that ELF radiation has a major influence on protein synthesis, biological cycles and human mental states. Humans respond to such radiation through their central nervous system and spinal cord. “The extremely low frequency, long wavelength near field signals associated with interstellar and intergalactic gravity coupling are detected by our brain/body sensing mechanism. These naturally-occurring information signals bring about changes within the human body energy pathways, restructure body water resonances, modulate the DNA processes and stimulate other circadian rhythm entrainments. Thus supplying an intimate instantaneous interconnection of our very own brain/body/mind to the immensity of the Universe.”Earths Rythm” E.E. Richards (http://home.gwi.net/~erichard/).

Furthermore, if we analyze the electromagnetic activity of the human brain (by EEG-ElectroEncephaloGraphy), we observe production in the ELF spectrum ! The most important brainwaves are known as Delta, Theta, Alpha & Beta and each one corresponds to a mental activity.

The following text is based essentially on the works of Peter Russell and Duane Elgin , both contributing to the Global Consciousness knowledge at the Noetic Institute and on the works of E.E.Richards as regards Earth Resonance and Human Energy Field. Global Consciousness “activity” around the globe is scientifically evaluated by the Institute of Noetic Sciences. Visit noetic.org for more information.

The following is intended to share a personal opinion and understanding on the subject of global consciousness related to Humanity and Earth (and Solar System on a larger scale), and in no way to impose any Truth!

Prologue: A global consciousness is currently arising and comprehended by more and more people. A paradigm shift is occurring right now, on a global scale, in our perception and understanding of the Universe and the interconnections existing between all elements in it. And finally, an interlinked Humanity, triggered by the ecumenical message and life of Christ two thousand years ago and inaugurated by the printing arts/technology and then the information Age (communication revolution, the Internet era), is currently reaching maturity as a whole. It has evolved and is now ready to give birth, still on a big scale, to a new specie of being: The Spiritual Man.

We are finally coming together as One Emerging Global Brain. From the primordial thesis (creation), we decided to go through anti-thesis (fall and triggered entropy) to finally achieve SYN-thesis as ONE. According to A.Bailey, there are four symbolic words in the English language which are ideographic and symbolic. They consist of three letters each and are as follows: God, Sex, Law and Sin. In these four words we find expressed the sum total of all that is: God, the Whole, the sum total of all states of consciousness; Sex, the attraction between the parts within that Whole, the instinctive urge to creation, the urge to divinity; Law, the habit of the Whole and Sin, the revolt of the unit in the Whole (“The Labors of Hercules”). According to this, I would say : “Humanity has departed from God using Sex under Sin conditions and now is returning to God using Sex under Law conditions”.

Current era condition can be compared with the phenomenon of Resonance: there is a global resonance phenomenon going on (on the physical as well as on the spiritual plane) and climaxing right now, triggered by the emergence of the printing industry and coming to a state of self-sustainment (self-sustained equilibrium). In this phase of SYN-thesis we are currently attuning ourselves with the One Cosmic Song (AUM - The Creator – L.O.V.E. (Limitless Oscillating Vibrational Energy)). The current global upheaval around the globe is nothing else than the consequence of such attuning and will last the time it takes the global system to reach its proper natural frequency of oscillation i.e. the frequency of the Source emission (Milky Way Galactic Core according to some Mesoamerican people). Another analogy would say that we have left behind infancy, got through the difficult period of puberal adolescence, to finally reach the adult maturity and this not only from a human point of view but also from a solar system point of view.

It seems that throughout the Ages certain Masters have already SYNxronised with this cosmic pattern; reincarnation after reincarnation they have already got through the initiation process of cleansing and have already got rid of all “parasites” and have thus already attuned themselves (turn their face towards the Central Sun). These are warriors of Light and help Humanity getting through the disturbances. The Avatar of Synthesis (Prince of the Seraphim according to the Greek Fathers) is one of them and He is the One who will help us achieve SYNthesis as indicated by His Name.

The Mysterious molecule was first discovered in 1869. Since then it hasn't ceased 2 amaze us! And still 90 % of it is considered as "junk" - i.e. senseless repetition of code with no identified function. Nonetheless this molecule presents a very interesting property: it behaves like a language, this means it follows rules of syntax and semantics ! More than that, studies show that DNA molecules are sensible to acoustic as well as electromagnetic waves and can be reprogrammed when submitted 2 proper frequency emission. DNA is nothing else than an Intelligent bio-computer. SYS  

What is all the fuss about 2012?

Quite an old information but still good 2 have in mind. The 11 years cycle of the Sun (Wikipedia: Solar Cycle) was discovered around 1840. It's a very important cosmic cycle 4 Us here on Earth. Just look at the size of the Sun in comparison with Earth and u will understand the influence the Sun can have on climatic changes on Earth. Global warming would  not b only man-made but also Sun-made - or so it seems... This Solar Cycle should culminate near 2012(don't u know this date... ?).

A group of researchers have recently announced the creation of a completely new state of matter that combines the characteristics of lasers with those of the world’s best electrical conductors.

They successfully demonstrated the existence of the phase, besides the previously known ones: solids, liquids, gases, plasmas, superfluids, supersolids, Bose-Einstein condensates, fermionic condensates, liquid crystals, strange matter and quark-gluon plasmas.
