    This is the first time I have heard of 8 minutes of Full Consciousness on 12-21...Actually, it is the first time I have heard of something positive happening, in a specific way, between December 21-23rd. Come to think of it, this is the first time I have heard a Mayan present information...Yeah, been under my rock

    Listened to this video last week...felt very up lifted by this man's energy and his information too!

    Mars just went into Capricorn, I believe today or yesterday! I've had Mars in my twelfth house the past few weeks...in the Cave...it is conjunct my ascendant and feel mucho energy phew,,, wow!

    Wash all of my windows(outside) today...It's a beautiful Autumn day in Rocky Point! This energetic boost is a bit to handle...Pluto too, I suppose, also conjunct ascendant...take a breath, all is well, be here Now! Is what I need to do. I am so grateful for the optimistic Mayhan video...be blessed all.

    Some naysayers say that galactic centre alignments happen every year. Indeed they happen nearly every day. David Wilcock has reported on this, eg in The Source Field Investigations, p. 409:

    Quote Dr James Spottiswoode found that the earth’s alignment with the galaxy could create up to a 450 percent increase in psyhic accuracy each day—within one hour of 13:30 local sidereal time—and the effect held true over twenty years of trials.
    Given that the sidereal day is slightly out of sync with the earth day, this means that the time window would change from place to place and from time to time in the same place, and is the ideal random parameter for verifying this sort of theory.

    Other naysayers say that 2012 is another damp squib like YK2. I would answer this by saying that in my case at least, YK2 was no damp squib! Let me tell you what happened on Jan 1, 2000, at around 3pm GMT. Unlike many, I did not overindulge in any way the night before – just a few of the best oysters I have ever tasted with my wife

    We were in the process of having a new house built just round the corner – in concrete I’m afraid, as being close to an old church, timber was out of the question. Given the heavy rainfall, I had removed an upstairs swimming pool from what is now our bedroom. I may have caught a chill. I had to rush home and started retching, something I never do. In retrospect, you’d think I’d taken ayahuasca. I went to bed early with a raging headache, and instead of passing a dreadful time, I started composing in my head a piece of creative writing, at once frivolous and profound (sorry, it’s in pretty untranslatable French). When I wrote it up the next day, with a few further ideas, it came to twenty pages of the best stuff I had ever written.

    I have had similar creative moments, but nothing like this. If the solstice is another of these moments, then too right, I’ll have pencil and paper at the ready!

    I haven’t checked but I reckon Spottiswoode’s theory comes into play here, but something else happened as well, that’s for sure.

    Hello araucaria,

    I've got "The Source Field Investigations" as an ebook and depending on which font size the pages differ. Rather than the page number can you pass along which chapter?

    I get the feeling that many, many, many, are very concerned about the masses. What I mean by that is that there is a great deal of energy put forth in attempting to gather in groups in order to achieve a greater occurance.

    I don't necessarily agree with that, although I do know that many creates more. Having said that. I also believe that when I transition...say in passing away as we did in the "old earth", that I alone passed and I alone create afterwards.

    That it is not about 'the many'. That it is about the "IAM"...

    A wonder how anyone else feels about this point/counterpoint!

    I "know" in no uncertain terms, that "I", the "IAM" within me creates..."MY" reality. I can't speak for another's reality.

    For instance, If I were developed enough, and had cleared my past cellular memories through my own work, and...found myself in the middle of a "crisis"...I believe I would not be effected as much as those who had done no work...

    In my reality, it is more of a letting go of my 'personality', logical mind, attempting to 'figure it all out', and simply allowing the Greater within to be present.

    I possess a Divine Mind and a Linear/Logical Mind...I find the latter tiring.

    It takes patience, persistance, and an overcoming of fear to continue to deepen a realtionship with this Core Divine Self.

    Love to all,

    Anastasia

    ¤=[Post Update]=¤

    oooppps!

    Correction...

    I know with all my heart that the Divine within creates....it is me...it is the evolved me that exists beyond the third, past the fourth...and into the fifth.

    Walking between the worlds...not to worry, all is well.

    Sincerely,
    Anastasia

    I feel this may sound selfish, but I don't believe it is. I believe that there is a resonance that occurs. and that everyone has their own path.

    I honour another when I don't attempt to convince them of anything.

    I resonate within my own being and if another chooses to, or has chosen to resonate at that frequency, we will connect.

    What I am trying work within my own consciousness as I write is that each of us is an individual universe. I respect another's existance.

    We are all so unique, so intricate, so exquisite, that it would presumptuous of me to think I know what's best for them.

    But, if we are both little fireflies, glowing, pulsating, resonating, at the same frequency, we will mingle and find joy.

    I just read a piece of an article that spoke about the frustration of convincing others, who are not aware of 2012 about 2012...just the sense of the energy coming from the arthur felt like static.

    That energy could have been cultivated in being ( round peg, round hole) instead of doing...(square peg, round hole).

    Communication is relationship. Relationship is Divine. Control (must be my pluto/moon conjunct ascendant) feels bad to me!!!!

    Thank you all for I am working this stuff out as I write...hope I don't sound to confused!

    Sincerely,
    Anastasia

    I just woke from a nap with a reminder of this re-post (in part),

    Back in the summer of 1986, through power naps and contemplation and watching pictures come across my mind, a story wrote itself. It was before I had a quality computer, so I backed up my material on to a tape recorder.

    There are similarities between the main character and myself as I live today. In the novel she’s losses her father and questions why is she’s here. Innately, she knows there’s more, feels it and begins to see. In my life, it would be only 8 years after writing the novel, I’d loose my son. Too follow, my boy friend of 5 years passed 6 months after Michael; then my father, mother and sister.

    The other real life comparisons are the unseen people that come to the planet and assist. Those of us with compassionate eyes and souls are in communications with them. Others are felt and not seen because of their vibratory rates.

    In the end, the main character, Jillian Rose, choose to leave the planet that’s in war with itself. It’s a chaotic place where the people turn on the wise Beings. They’ve risked coming back too soon to merge with their descendants, to share their knowledge, medicines, and community ways in hopes to elevate the vibrations on Mother Earth. It’s because of a change in timeline, it’s people and the descendants that banished them from long ago have escalated their control once again.

    I submitted the finished product to several places. Letters that came back explaining that it didn’t fit the sci-fi genre. While waiting for the “next rejection”, I discovered an old bookstore. Books ‘talk’ to me. This one particular one, on the top shelf said, “Pick me, pick me.” I was dumbfounded, because it was about two different expeditions that came up with the same conclusion. I don’t recall the title but it was something like “The Hollow Earth”. Their accounts had been woven into my writings, where ships were sucked into this vortex at the poles. Tall people took care of the shipwrecked castaways and sent them back, with only a vague recollection and a pack that no one was to speak of it.

    I write this because my book was about how one society was driven below the Earth to live out their days. They had radiation poison and were deformed. This class didn’t have access to the medications. Unbeknownst to the “elite” above, this society thrived and used materials from their environment and healed everyone. Their intuitive powers where just a part of who they had evolved into. This race was thousands of years old and many lived to be 700-800 years. By the twentieth century, their mission was to come to the surface and assist individuals who exhibited love, kindness, generosity, etc. The goal was to prepare them to help others that were awakening. Too, the ancient society were preparing to come up in larger numbers to integrate above. The ending was that those with evolving energies joined with the ancient society in their world because too many were not ready to let go of the anger and fighting and class divisions.

    I’d be the first to admit that by today’s standards, it’s elementary. Back then, at least for someone like me who only read philosophy books, it was an interesting journey. I rationalized that I was influenced by films and books such as, “The Lost Horizon”, “Shangri-La”, “The Kin of Ata are Waiting for You.” But there were details that were different from this material. A couple of years ago, I came across, “The Hollow Earth,” by Dianne Robbins. That book has some similar information. It served to confirm what my gut and experiences told me some 24 years earlier. On some level, I seem to recall this even when I was young.

    We are those descendants/ET’s/Other Worlders waking up. We are the ones to raise the vibration within ourselves here on Mother Earth. I say open to the possibility. It will show itself. Even more so now with this new energy that’s unlocking the strands of DNA. Opening up the charkas. Or however you perceive it. Spend time and energy on what’s within or ultimately not within.

    The renewed Mother Earth is a place where all are ageless, total health, loving communities, manifesting whatever is needed, surrounded by beauty and air filled with fragrances, and thought communications with all life.

    There now, at some levels,
    Paula

    Willow the magical White Humpback Whale




    Mariners who spend lots of time at sea are witness to all sorts of amazing sights, but very rarely does one get to witness the almost mythical white whale. Dan Fisher has seen and documented this animal. While crewing aboard the three-masted SV Antigua in August, in the waters of Norway's Svalbard Archipelago, Fisher made the sighting of what looks to be a pure white humpback whale from high on the mast. (For whatever reason, Fisher waited until recently to release his footage and share his story. These are his images, Wildlife Extra.

    The whale first appeared as a white hump on the horizon, and was swimming with other humpbacks.

    "As I realized it was a white whale, I was amazed," Fisher told the Daily Mail. "I quickly climbed the mast to get a good vantage point and captured these pictures. Afterwards we were all talking and decided to dub him Willow the white whale."

    White whales are rare and the most famous among them, of course, is Moby Dick, a fictional sperm whale in the 1851 Herman Melville classic novel of the same name.

    More recently, a white humpback known as Migaloo has been spotted sporadically off Queensland, Australia. A white humpback calf also has been seen off Queensland. According to Wildlife Extra there have been reports of white killer whales off Alaska and Russia (possibly the same animal), white right whale calves off South Australia and an albino dolphin off Louisiana.

    The white humpback spotted by Fisher, who is Welsh, is either an albino or its coloration could be the result of a condition known as leucism, in which pigmentation cells fail to properly develop. Albinos are totally white and usually have red or pink eyes.

    Fisher, 32, who for the past 10 years has worked as a maritime engineer, referred to the sighting as a "once-in-a-lifetime spot" and added: "I saw lots of humpbacks this year, but nothing as spectacular as this one." http://www.grindtv.com/outdoor/blog/...ed+off+norway/

    I just read a piece of an article that spoke about the frustration of convincing others, who are not aware of 2012 about 2012...just the sense of the energy coming from the arthur felt like static.
    Not aware of 2012? That is a real problem when it comes to making out a check. Other than that, can't think of any other pressing reason to convince anybody about the year. My sense is it could be something big. I'll/we'll find out. I'm hoping for another mild Winter.

    I should be well rested.

    Listened to this video last week...felt very up lifted by this man's energy and his information too!

    Mars just went into Capricorn, I believe today or yesterday! I've had Mars in my twelfth house the past few weeks...in the Cave...it is conjunct my ascendant and feel mucho energy phew,,, wow!

    Wash all of my windows(outside) today...It's a beautiful Autumn day in Rocky Point! This energetic boost is a bit to handle...Pluto too, I suppose, also conjunct ascendant...take a breath, all is well, be here Now! Is what I need to do. I am so grateful for the optimistic Mayhan video...be blessed all.

    Being a Capricorn myself I can confirm this about Martian energy.
    Since I've started monitoring planets' effect in relation to my birth chart back in 1979
    I've learnt to welcome Mars, who visits every two years ....
    I always become much more active and energetic,

    Capricorn being Saturn-ruled can be cold and rigid, so Mars' fire acts as a balancer.

    Listening to/watching this...

    Thank you 1InMany !
    Some naysayers say that galactic centre alignments happen every year. Indeed they happen nearly every day. David Wilcock has reported on this, eg in The Source Field Investigations, p. 409...
    Hello araucaria,

    I've got "The Source Field Investigations" as an ebook and depending on which font size the pages differ. Rather than the page number can you pass along which chapter?

    Thanks in advance,
    Paula
    Hi WCBD
    And thanks to 1InMany for helping out. Does your ebook have an index? There is another reference to Spottiswoode on page 235, Chapter 11, It's about Time, end of section Interplanetary changes...

    Quote Dr James Spottiswoode studied twenty years' worth of solid, scientific research into "anomalous cognition", where ordinary people were tested to see how psychic they were. After exploring fifty-one different studies conducted from 1976 to 1996, which added up to ta total of 2,879 different individual trials, he found that solar activity had a clear and measurable influence on our psychic ability. In general, the more solar activity there was, the less effective we were in these"anomalous cognition" tests.

    Willow the magical White Humpback Whale




    Mariners who spend lots of time at sea are witness to all sorts of amazing sights, but very rarely does one get to witness the almost mythical white whale. Dan Fisher has seen and documented this animal. While crewing aboard the three-masted SV Antigua in August, in the waters of Norway's Svalbard Archipelago, Fisher made the sighting of what looks to be a pure white humpback whale from high on the mast. (For whatever reason, Fisher waited until recently to release his footage and share his story. These are his images, Wildlife Extra.

    The whale first appeared as a white hump on the horizon, and was swimming with other humpbacks.

    "As I realized it was a white whale, I was amazed," Fisher told the Daily Mail. "I quickly climbed the mast to get a good vantage point and captured these pictures. Afterwards we were all talking and decided to dub him Willow the white whale."

    White whales are rare and the most famous among them, of course, is Moby Dick, a fictional sperm whale in the 1851 Herman Melville classic novel of the same name.

    More recently, a white humpback known as Migaloo has been spotted sporadically off Queensland, Australia. A white humpback calf also has been seen off Queensland. According to Wildlife Extra there have been reports of white killer whales off Alaska and Russia (possibly the same animal), white right whale calves off South Australia and an albino dolphin off Louisiana.

    The white humpback spotted by Fisher, who is Welsh, is either an albino or its coloration could be the result of a condition known as leucism, in which pigmentation cells fail to properly develop. Albinos are totally white and usually have red or pink eyes.

    Fisher, 32, who for the past 10 years has worked as a maritime engineer, referred to the sighting as a "once-in-a-lifetime spot" and added: "I saw lots of humpbacks this year, but nothing as spectacular as this one." http://www.grindtv.com/outdoor/blog/...ed+off+norway/

    Moby Dick is inspired by the true story of the Shipwreck of the Whaleship Essex by Owen Chase.

    Melville adds the whiteness as part of his metaphysical take on the story (borrowing it from Poe’s journey to the south pole in the Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym), where it is interestingly ambiguous:
    Quote With reference to the Polar bear, it may possibly be urged by him who would fain go still deeper into this matter [i.e. the whiteness of the whale], that it is not the whiteness, separately regarded, which heightens the intolerable hideousness of that brute; for, analysed, that heightened hideousness, it might be said, only rises from the circumstance, that the irresponsible ferociousness of the creature stands invested in the fleece of celestial innocence and love; and hence, by bringing together two such opposite emotions in our minds, the Polar bear frightens us with so unnatural a contrast. But even assuming all this to be true; yet, were it not for the whiteness, you would not have that intensified terror. (note to chapter 42)

    More ambiguity, or confusion, is introduced by polar bears being denizens of the North Pole only.

    I find sanity/insanity, like everything else, is all about balance. Crazy isn't nearly as much fun if you don't know you are.
