From the book “Bending God: A Memoir” by Eric Robison:

The sky is smooth and a rich clear black…

Science is learning more about strange world of magnetic feilds, from the article “Magnetic Portals Connect Sun and Earth” on the NASA website:

Oct. 30, 2008: During the time it takes you to read this article, something will happen high overhead that until recently many scientists didn’t believe in. A magnetic portal will open, linking Earth to the sun 93 million miles away. Tons of high-energy particles may flow through the opening before it closes again, around the time you reach the end of the page.

“It’s called a flux transfer event or ‘FTE,’” says space physicist David Sibeck of the Goddard Space Flight Center. “Ten years ago I was pretty sure they didn’t exist, but now the evidence is incontrovertible.”

Indeed, today Sibeck is telling an international assembly of space physicists at the 2008 Plasma Workshop in Huntsville, Alabama, that FTEs are not just common, but possibly twice as common as anyone had ever imagined.

Researchers have long known that the Earth and sun must be connected. Earth’s magnetosphere (the magnetic bubble that surrounds our planet) is filled with particles from the sun that arrive via the solar wind and penetrate the planet’s magnetic defenses. They enter by following magnetic field lines that can be traced from terra firma all the way back to the sun’s atmosphere.

“We used to think the connection was permanent and that solar wind could trickle into the near-Earth environment anytime the wind was active,” says Sibeck. “We were wrong. The connections are not steady at all. They are often brief, bursty and very dynamic.”

Several speakers at the Workshop have outlined how FTEs form: On the dayside of Earth (the side closest to the sun), Earth’s magnetic field presses against the sun’s magnetic field. Approximately every eight minutes, the two fields briefly merge or “reconnect,” forming a portal through which particles can flow. The portal takes the form of a magnetic cylinder about as wide as Earth. The European Space Agency’s fleet of four Cluster spacecraft and NASA’s five THEMIS probes have flown through and surrounded these cylinders, measuring their dimensions and sensing the particles that shoot through. “They’re real,” says Sibeck.

Now that Cluster and THEMIS have directly sampled FTEs, theorists can use those measurements to simulate FTEs in their computers and predict how they might behave. Space physicist Jimmy Raeder of the University of New Hampshire presented one such simulation at the Workshop. He told his colleagues that the cylindrical portals tend to form above Earth’s equator and then roll over Earth’s winter pole. In December, FTEs roll over the north pole; in July they roll over the south pole.

Sibeck believes this is happening twice as often as previously thought. “I think there are two varieties of FTEs: active and passive.” Active FTEs are magnetic cylinders that allow particles to flow through rather easily; they are important conduits of energy for Earth’s magnetosphere. Passive FTEs are magnetic cylinders that offer more resistance; their internal structure does not admit such an easy flow of particles and fields. (For experts: Active FTEs form at equatorial latitudes when the IMF tips south; passive FTEs form at higher latitudes when the IMF tips north.) Sibeck has calculated the properties of passive FTEs and he is encouraging his colleagues to hunt for signs of them in data from THEMIS and Cluster. “Passive FTEs may not be very important, but until we know more about them we can’t be sure.”

There are many unanswered questions: Why do the portals form every 8 minutes? How do magnetic fields inside the cylinder twist and coil? “We’re doing some heavy thinking about this at the Workshop,” says Sibeck.

Meanwhile, high above your head, a new portal is opening, connecting your planet to the sun.

Update to my previous post The Clouds of Saturn:

Our first intriguing glimse of Saturn’s North pole was from Voyager in 1980.  Last year, images from Cassini was the first time we got to view the entire North pole at one time.  Surprisingly there was 15,000 mile diameter hexagon made of clouds.

Scientist are again baffled because recent images show an aurora.  From Mysterious glowing aurora over Saturn confounds scientists.

A stunning light display over Saturn has stumped scientists who say it behaves unlike any other planetary aurora known in our solar system.

The blueish-green glow was found over the ringed planet’s north polar region just like Earth’s northern lights.

It was discovered by the infrared instruments on NASA’s Cassini spacecraft.

‘We’ve never seen an aurora like this elsewhere,’ said Tom Stallard, a scientist working with Cassini data at the University of Leicester.

‘This aurora covers an enormous area across the pole. Our current ideas on what forms Saturn’s aurora predict that this region should be empty, so finding such a bright aurora here is a fantastic surprise.’

Auroras are caused by charged particles streaming along the magnetic field lines of a planet into its atmosphere.

Particles from the sun cause Earth’s auroras. Many, but not all, of the auroras at Jupiter and Saturn are caused by particles trapped within the magnetic environments of those planets.

Jupiter’s main auroral ring is caused by interactions in Jupiter’s magnetic environment and remains constant in size. Saturn’s main aurora is caused by the solar wind, and changes size dramatically as the wind varies. However, the newly observed aurora at Saturn doesn’t fit into either category.

The new infrared aurora appears in a region hidden from NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope. Cassini observed it when the spacecraft flew near Saturn’s polar region.

In infrared light, the aurora sometimes fills the region from around 82 degrees north all the way over the pole. This new aurora is also constantly changing, even disappearing within a 45 minute-period.

‘There is something special and unforeseen about this planet’s magnetosphere and the way it interacts with the solar wind and the planet’s atmosphere,’ Cassini scientist Nick Achilleos from the University College London said.

The Cassini-Huygens mission is a cooperative project of NASA, the European Space Agency and the Italian Space Agency.

Yesterday, National Public Radio ran a story “Blind Man ‘Sees’” that was extremely interesting from a psychic perspective.

It took almost 50 years, but slowly, slowly David Stewart went blind.

A former long-time executive at the Corporation for Public Broadcasting in Washington, D.C., Stewart has a hereditary disease, retinitis pigmentosa, which affects the rods and cones in his eyes. In his 20s, his vision narrowed. By the time he hit 80, he was almost totally blind.

But then he discovered that sometimes blindness comes with a bonus.

One day while listening to a book on tape — 1776 by David McCullough — he heard how American sailors helped George Washington sneak cannons and horses across the Hudson River to escape the British.

As Stewart mused about those sailors, very strangely, one of them appeared in his head — not a dreamy fantasy, but a vivid, highly detailed, very real-like hallucination.

“He had on a cap, a blue cap with a polished black beak and he had a pipe in his mouth.” The sailor gazed right at Stewart. Then he winked. Stewart was amazed.

Stewart was, at this point, very blind. He had lost his memory for color — for blues, yellows and reds — and he lived in a black and white world. But when his sailor arrived, “There it was!” he exclaimed. “The first color I had seen for a considerable amount of time!”

After 30 minutes, the image faded, but others would follow. Paintings would come to life. Wallpaper would move. Mysterious curtains would appear. Stewart says he was never frightened, but he wondered what triggered all this.

I recommend you listen to the entire story. It is about 6 minutes long. Follow the Blind Man ‘Sees’ link above to the story and then click on “Listen Now” at the top of the article.

The story goes on to state that David Stewart has Charles Bonnet syndrome.

Charles Bonnet syndrome (CBS) is named after the Swiss naturalist Charles Bonnet. In 1760 he described a condition in which vivid, complex visual hallucinations (fictive visual percepts) occur in mentally healthy people. One characteristic of these hallucinations is that they usually are “lilliput hallucinations” (hallucinations in which the characters or objects may be smaller, larger, or regular size). He first documented it in his 89-year-old grandfather, who was nearly blind from cataracts in both eyes but perceived men, women, birds, carriages, buildings, tapestries, and scaffolding patterns.

Most who are affected by this are people with visual impairments due to old age, damage to the eyes or optic pathways. In particular, central vision loss due to a condition such as macular degeneration combined with peripheral vision loss from glaucoma may predispose to CBS, although most people with such deficits do not develop the syndrome.

The National Public Radio story quotes an ophthalmologist that states “it’s very common” and perhaps 10 percent of people who lose their sight develop Charles Bonnet syndrome.

In fact sighted people develop this condition if they wear a blindfold for an extended period of time. See “Visual Hallucinations During Prolonged Blindfolding in Sighted Subjects”.

Abstract:

The authors report the occurrence of visual hallucinations of varying complexity in 13 normal subjects after sudden, complete, and prolonged visual deprivation. The subjects were all healthy individuals with no history of cognitive dysfunction, psychosis, or ocular pathology. They wore a specially designed blindfold for a period of five consecutive days (96 hours) and were asked to record their daily experiences using a hand-held microcassette recorder. Ten (77%) of the subjects reported visual hallucinations, which were both simple (bright spots of light) and complex (faces, landscapes, ornate objects). The onset of hallucinations was generally after the first day of blindfolding. Subjects were insightful as to their unreal nature. These results indicate that rapid and complete visual deprivation is sufficient to induce visual hallucinations in normal subjects.

The audio portion of the Nation Public Radio story goes on quote researchers speculating about the cause of the hallucinations. I have a different idea. I propose that a significant number of the people who have been deprived of sight or hearing are not hallucinating but are receiving sixth sense information through their unused neural pathways of vision or hearing. And I believe these people will be useful to researchers in the future in the studying how psychic data presents itself to the brain.

I would love to tell you that crop circles have a code and I have broken the code. Even more than that, I would love to tell you that you decode the code yourself. You just print out pictures from the Internet and put them up in a row on a bulletin board and you will figure it out. But the way that I propose the code will be broken is not that easy.

Every place on this planet has a unique “frequency” (or “feeling”). (See The Frequency of Trees post for more info on frequency.) If you travel to a place and meditate there, the frequency of that place becomes part of your “vocabulary”, building your ability to communicate in the language of frequency. This method of communication is called telepathy. (See the Energetic Broadcast of Emotions post for more information about telepathy.) Now only certain places on Earth actually have unique frequencies that are useful to building your language; spiritual places like Giza, Machu Picchu. (See my Sacred Bigfoot post for more information about sacred places.)

Also to break the code, you must be a skilled in meditation and able to maintain non-thought during your meditation. (See The Beauty of Questions Part III for more information about non-thought.)

Another think I would like to tell you is that you can Remote View these places and get the frequency of the place. (See Remote Viewing Downtown Portland for more information.) But you need the frequency of a place to Remote View that place. It is possible to get the frequency of a person or place by looking at pictures.  But most pictures of crop circles don’t include unique features in the country side, just an aerial view of the circle itself.

The real trick will be figuring out which circles are real paranormal phenomena and which are hoaxes. No point in traveling to and meditating at the hoaxes.

The surface of the Earth is made of giant tectonic plates that move. As some plates move farther apart, sea floor spreading is observed. At mid-ocean ridges, magma rises from the Earth and solidifies to fill the gap. The Earth’s magnetic field leaves it’s imprint on this material and allows us to examine the direction and magnitude of the magnetic field in the past. Every few hundred thousand years the field changes directions (a compass will point to the South pole instead of the North pole).

Since the 19th century the magnitude of the Earth’s magnetic field has weakened by about 10%. Here is some basic information from NASA on Earth’s Inconstant Magnetic Field. Much research is going on to attempt to understand the Origin of the Earth’s Magnetic Field.

I think the questions on everybody’s mind is what is going to happen in the future and how will it affect us? Some very doomsday scenarios are predicted. I don’t think the end of the world or end of humanity is likely but this is another phenomenon to which we should pay attention.

We are all familar with some so called sacred or spirtual sites on the Earth (the great pyramdis at Giza, Stonehenge, Machu Picchu) but there are many more. Many sites have fallen out of use or are only know to people who live near-by.

An interesting idea that I will put out and leave for the reader to investigate on his or her own, is whether or not more phenomenon (bigfoot sightings, crop circles, UFOs, etc.) is observed near sacred sites that can be attributed to chance. One possible route to use on this investigation is to look into phenomenon near to your home. This makes it easier to find the less well known spiritual places.

This website has a list of bigfoot sightings from 1818 to 1980 in the United States and Canada. I have a hunch that bigfoot is from another dimension. They arrive through a dimensional portal and are only partial here. When the portal closes, they are sucked back into their own dimension. That is why they can swim and leave footprints but are not normally affected by bullets. I am intrigued by the number of sightings near Mt. Hood and The Dalles in Oregon during the period of the 1960’s and 1970’s. Both were spiritual sites for native American Indians and there are still fascinating spiritual things can still be found there today.

Something to keep an eye on from the NASA Cassini website in March 2007.

Cassini Images Bizarre Hexagon on Saturn
March 27, 2007
(Source: Jet Propulsion Laboratory) Pasadena, Calif. — An odd, six-sided, honeycomb-shaped feature circling the entire north pole of Saturn has captured the interest of scientists with NASA’s Cassini mission.

NASA’s Voyager 1 and 2 spacecraft imaged the feature over two decades ago. The fact that it has appeared in Cassini images indicates that it is a long-lived feature. A second hexagon, significantly darker than the brighter historical feature, is also visible in the Cassini pictures. The spacecraft’s visual and infrared mapping spectrometer is the first instrument to capture the entire hexagon feature in one image.

“This is a very strange feature, lying in a precise geometric fashion with six nearly equally straight sides,” said Kevin Baines, atmospheric expert and member of Cassini’s visual and infrared mapping spectrometer team at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif. “We’ve never seen anything like this on any other planet. Indeed, Saturn’s thick atmosphere where circularly-shaped waves and convective cells dominate is perhaps the last place you’d expect to see such a six-sided geometric figure, yet there it is.”

The hexagon is similar to Earth’s polar vortex, which has winds blowing in a circular pattern around the polar region. On Saturn, the vortex has a hexagonal rather than circular shape. The hexagon is nearly 25,000 kilometers (15,000 miles) across. Nearly four Earths could fit inside it.

The new images taken in thermal-infrared light show the hexagon extends much deeper down into the atmosphere than previously expected, some 100 kilometers (60 miles) below the cloud tops. A system of clouds lies within the hexagon. The clouds appear to be whipping around the hexagon like cars on a racetrack.

“It’s amazing to see such striking differences on opposite ends of Saturn’s poles,” said Bob Brown, team leader of the Cassini visual and infrared mapping spectrometer, University of Arizona, Tucson. “At the south pole we have what appears to be a hurricane with a giant eye, and at the north pole of Saturn we have this geometric feature, which is completely different.”

The Saturn north pole hexagon has not been visible to Cassini’s visual cameras, because it’s winter in that area, so the hexagon is under the cover of the long polar night, which lasts about 15 years. The infrared mapping spectrometer can image Saturn in both daytime and nighttime conditions and see deep inside. It imaged the feature with thermal wavelengths near 5 microns (seven times the wavelength visible to the human eye) during a 12-day period beginning on Oct. 30, 2006. As winter wanes over the next two years, the feature may become visible to the visual cameras.

Based on the new images and more information on the depth of the feature, scientists think it is not linked to Saturn’s radio emissions or to auroral activity, as once contemplated, even though Saturn’s northern aurora lies nearly overhead.

The hexagon appears to have remained fixed with Saturn’s rotation rate and axis since first glimpsed by Voyager 26 years ago. The actual rotation rate of Saturn is still uncertain.

“Once we understand its dynamical nature, this long-lived, deep-seated polar hexagon may give us a clue to the true rotation rate of the deep atmosphere and perhaps the interior,” added Baines.

The hexagon images and movie, including the north polar auroras are available at: http://www.nasa.gov/cassini and http://saturn.jpl.nasa.gov and http://wwwvims.lpl.arizona.edu .

The Cassini-Huygens mission is a cooperative project of NASA, the European Space Agency and the Italian Space Agency. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, manages the Cassini-Huygens mission for NASA’s Science Mission Directorate, Washington. The Cassini orbiter was designed, developed and assembled at JPL. The Visual and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer team is based at the University of Arizona.
