  On July 19, 1952, at 11:40 p.m., in the skies over Washington, D.C., nine UFOs darted about, reversed directions abruptly, and drifted over the White House, at times reaching speeds of 7,000 mph as calculated by Andrews Air Force Base (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1952_Washington,_D.C._UFO_incident ). The activity lasted until sunrise, then continued for several days. This was also picked up and observed on radar at Washington National Airport.
  The entire incident made the front page in newspapers all across the country. The Cedar Rapids Gazette (Iowa) read in large black letters SAUCERS SWARM OVER CAPITAL.
  President Harry Truman, concerned about the incident, called Capt. Edward J. Ruppelt, the supervisor of the Air Force’s Project Blue Book, who told the President that “the sightings might have been caused by a temperature inversion.” However, Lt. John Holcomb, a U.S. Navy radar specialist, said that the inversion was not “nearly strong enough to explain the ‘good and solid’ returns” on the radarscopes. Jets had been scrambled as well, and one of them was surrounded by the saucers. Around sunrise, E.W. Chambers, a civilian radio engineer in the Washington suburbs, observed “five huge discs circling in a loose formation. They tilted upward and left on a steep ascent.”
  All of this took place over two consecutive weekends and several days in between, and was witnessed by numerous military top brass, civilian and military air traffic controllers, countless witnesses on the ground, military fighter jet pilots, and civilian airline pilots both on the ground and in the air. This whole event is what can be termed a highly credible sighting, or series of sightings, unless everyone was suffering from a mass hallucination shared by all, and that was simply not the case.
  This is only one of many many similar events that have happened since the end of World War II, including more recently the so-called Phoenix Lights of 1996, where thousands of people saw a huge silent triangular craft drift slowly over the Phoenix night sky; and the 2008 incident at Stephenville, Texas, where dozens of highly credible witnesses saw a mile-wide craft slowly drift just overhead (see www.StephenvilleLights.com ).
  So, what was the meaning and purpose of the event over Washington, D.C. in 1952? It would seem obvious that the UFOs were not from this planet because they operated outside of the laws of physics that we are familiar with. Thus, it seems safe to say that the UFOs (or flying saucers, as they were called at that time) were from some off-planet civilization that is advanced, or is certainly using advanced technologies, and that they were operating under intelligent control.
  When speaking about those operating the UFOs, and asking what was the meaning and purpose of the event, it would seem that they were showing us that they have advanced technological capabilities, and that they are here to observe what we are doing — they were letting us know that they are present, and for all we know, they may have been present in our world for a far far longer period of time, perhaps for thousands of years.
  Of course, the military response is always to presume these encounters to be from hostile ETs(extraterrestrials), but the truth is that these ETs have never shown any hostile intentions whatsoever, while we always scramble our fighter jets up to try to intercept the UFOs.
  If we as a species can move beyond our hostile, negative response and move instead toward an attitude of curiosity and wonder, then we may not scare the UFOs away, and if we really wanted to see and know more about them, they can certainly sense our thoughts and know that, and maybe, just maybe they might land and we could become friends and they might show us some of their technologies, which certainly seem like they might be just what we need at this critical time of us having used up much of the valuable resources of the planet only to pollute and poison our Mother Earth.
  We need help, no doubt about it, and these ETs from afar happen to know that, and they have come here specifically to help us — not to do it for us, but to help us.
  Our planet Earth is a highly evolved, living, breathing, conscious organism functioning on a level beyond the comprehension of most Earthlings. Off-planet cultures are intimately aware that our planet is in process of cleaning up what we Earthlings have done to poison and pollute her. You would do the same if you were infested with fleas, and ticks, and other organisms that were destroying you. Off-planet civilizations monitor all planets with humanoid-type life under these and similar circumstances (because what happens here can affect outer space), and they are here to assist us in understanding all this, but they can only make planet-wide contact where they are welcome. And our scrambling of fighter jets to greet them is just plain wrong, and serves only evil purposes for these beings who have only ever shown us their peaceful intentions.
  If we are ever to advance ourselves as a civilization on this planet it would be wise for us to realize that we are part of a greater galactic and cosmic community of planets that do not thrive on wars, but live in peace, and that if we ever want to become an active participating part of that cosmic community then we must change our warlike ways to peaceful ways. Otherwise that cosmic community, with all they have to offer, will have no other choice but to simply leave us to ourselves as we self-destruct under the weight of our hatred and greed, which most surely is destroying the world.
  That is not a pretty picture, but it is one that we should think about seriously, because if we don’t want that then we need to let our government leaders know, in no uncertain terms, that we want to live in a peaceful Universe, and we want to meet our cosmic neighbors, now!
  Is it time for off-planet contact? Off-planet cultures appear quite ready to befriend us, so the answer to that question really depends upon us. Are we ready to live in a futuristic dream world, or are we happy with the world in turmoil that we have today? It is up to us to decide the destiny we want, and then do what needs to be done so that we may live it.

Dear friends, dear men and women,

Every time I think of the word ascension I imagine Jesus softly floating up to the sky.
Waving and smiling to all his loved ones, until he disappears of into the distance.
What can I say?
I was raised catholic in Argentina...

But the reality is that the symptoms experienced when our body's vibration is rising can be very overwhelming at times.
So I went looking to see what others were experiencing and found an article that was truly right on for me.
I thought I would share it, and add what I have experienced so far.
This is indeed a Divine process and a path that is being experienced by many in this world at this time.

I feel the more information we can all share, the better we help each other to stay out of fear.

This information is from the website : http://ascensionsymptoms.com/index.html
Remember that not all of these symptoms may be due to the ascension process. Please follow your own inner guidance and consult a health care professional as needed. If you are experiencing a majority of these symptoms it is a good indication that you are experiencing the ascension process more fully.

Ascension Signs & Symptoms
You just 'know' or sense that something is happening to your body and you feel different. Your body doesn’t respond as it did previously to physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual patterns. Your body just feels “different” for reasons you can't explain. 
(This was very obvious to me, I KNEW that something different was going on inside of me, but I had no idea what.My mind could not comprehend what was happening because the experience was outside my reality)

Changes in eating habits, food tastes and digestion. You may fluctuate between feeling hungry all the time to the inability to ingest food or lack of appetite. Sudden cravings for particular foods; suddenly liking foods you never liked before and sudden aversions to foods you used to enjoy. 
( I was born in Argentina and meat was the main staple in my diet, I am now unable to eat meat, and this is one of many things my body can no longer ingest) 

Body aches and pains all over or in particular areas; soreness in joints, muscles and bones for no apparent reason, and not due to physical exercise or fatigue.
(This morning I woke up and my body hurting everywhere. My best friends this morning were a very hot bath with dead sea salts, a ton of distilled water, and a natural salve to help with soreness.)

Feeling out of breath, like you can’t breathe deep enough, or breathing too fast for normal comfort; sometimes noticing you are holding your breath a lot. 
( This started for me after December, but it seems to be tapering down now. I feel it is almost as if I am learning how to breathe correctly again.) 

Blurred vision when reading or looking at long distances. Light sparkles or flashes of light in the peripheral vision from time to time, even after any eye problems have been ruled out. Awakening of the Third Eye (inner vision).
(This happens to me all the time, but of course when I try to see it all disappears. I feel I am trying too hard to "see" with my 3d eyes as opposed to seeing with my inner vision. I'm working on this, I am ready to see what I have been missing) 

Rapid heart rate, heart palpitations or flutters that occurs from time to time spontaneously and not related to physical exercise or emotional upset. Awakening of the Heart Chakra (heart-centered consciousness and love).
(I had an EKG done three months ago, and all results came back negative.My doctor was amazed and told me I had the heart of a twenty year old.But please make sure and get everything checked out, it also helps to accept the symptoms and stay out of fear if there is physical proof that your heart is normal,or any other medical concern)

Pressure and pain in or around the head and face area, including skull, eyes, ears, sinuses, teeth and gums, often times shifting from one side to another.
(This I experienced, especially in my teeth and the back of my skull) 

Irritable bowl symptoms or changes in digestion; fluctuating between periods of diarrhea and constipation; Increased gas, bloating or a feeling of 'fullness' not necessarily due to diet.
(Yes I know it is icky,but it is an amazing way of releasing lower energies from our bodies...plus if you ingest anything of a lower vibration which your body can't handle, you better start running to find a bathroom...that's all I'm saying...) 

Feeling ungrounded at times for no apprent reason; feeling disoriented, confused, spacey or lightheaded or dizzy.
(Yes,yes,yes.Big issue with me. I feel it is because as I connect more to my Source,that is where I want to hang out, so part of me is there and part of me is here...I get lost driving alot.Best way to ground for me is to go out in Mother Nature,for she has amazing grounding and healing properties) 

Weight gain or loss, suddenly or slowly, especially in the abdominal area, even if there are no changes in your diet.
(In the beginning of the process I gained about twenty pounds. Made me deal with a lot of self-esteem issues.In the last year I have lost that weight and probably about ten more.I feel too that many times I gain water weight to help regulate the intense energies which are flowing through me, and once I begin to integrate them, I lose weight from one day to the next.Sometimes as much as three or four pounds). 

Back aches in any or all areas, pain along the spine, pain or soreness in the neck and shoulder areas.
(Especially along my spine, used to have intense pain along my shoulder blades but that has subsided) 

Changes in body temperatures; increased sensitivity or intolerance to heat or cold.
(This is one of the toughest ones for me.I can be freezing inside and hot and clammy on my skin, or vice versa,often with unbelievable chills.Or burning up and being drenched in sweat.I feel that this is all part of the hypothalamus and the pineal glands starting to come back "online")

Frequent headaches or migraines that don't respond to medicine; sharp pains or strange sensations that suddenly occur in the head/skull area, often in one particular spot or side, often alternating sides.
(Another of the toughest for me. The headaches are absolutely debilitating when they occur. Sometimes if I feel one starting I take aspirin((with nothing else in it)) and this seems to help with the intensity Often times I end up in bed and ask for help(I call in my medical team) with the pain, shortly afterwards I fall asleep.When I wake up it is gone.) 

Feeling of intense or uncomfortable head pressure, often at the skull/crown area as if your head is being squeezed. 
(For me especially at the bottom of my skull)

Moments of memory loss that may occur on and off or for short periods of time; brain freezes or brain fog, forgetting why you've walked into a room; often forgetting simple words during conversations or forgetting what you are about to say. 
(What? I forgot what I was going to say...24/7)

Clumsiness, lack of coordination control at times, bumping into walls or objects more often at times.
(Nothing is funnier than to see a full grown woman walk into the wall.Or the table.Or the chair.I have to remind myself that we are multidimensional beings of light and I am remembering that.At the moment of impact I was in another place, there was no wall,but here there is one.It is a hard wall.Got it.)

Tingling sensations or 'falling asleep' of limbs, particularly the arms, hands, legs or feet, but sometimes feeling this sensation at the top of your head or in other parts of the body that are uncommon.
(My hands tingle a lot,this has been pretty constant for me.) 

Experiencing moments of audio dyslexia where someone is speaking but it is as if you can't process the information or understand what they are saying; periods where words seem to lose their meaning or don't make sense in the same way they used to. 
(This is weird la-la-land stuff.I see their mouths moving but the words coming out are not connecting to my ears because I don't understand them.Or I think I understand them but it is a million miles away from what they were actually saying,and when I answer everyone looks at me like I am a goofball)

Bouts of crying for no apparent reason; bouts of hysterical laughter for no apparent reason.
(Yes,still, both are very intense but I feel such clarity afterwards because it is such an intense release.All emotional release for me is always welcome, especially as I cry I release issues,thoughts,paradigms,ideas,etc...,all which are no longer for my highest good or for the highest good of all.I try to drink a lot of distilled water afterwards so that I don't get a headache, because if I cry a lot it can bring on bad headaches due to dehydrating myself.)

Sudden itching all over or in various areas of the body for no reason; also, skin rashes, swelling, and other unusal skin changes.
(I have had skin rashes lately as well as a lot of itching.This is something new for me.As I scratch my head uncontrollably, I tell my friends that my lice are acting up...) 

Changes in hair texture and even slight changes in color or highlights; thinning or dry looking hair that suddenly returns to normal; hair and nails frowing at a faster rate than usual. 
(One day my hair looks and feels great, the next day I have dead hair.Lately my nails have been growing very quickly)

Feeling unsual vibrations or a vibrating sensation within the body; periods of unexplainable nervousness or anxiety that comes and goes spontaneously for no apprent reason.
( I feel that sometimes the feelings of anxiety are not mine, I am just transmuting them for the collective) 

Unusual, intense or wild dreams or visions that can be pleasant, or even frightening; reoccuring dream themes or certain people appearing in dreams often; bizarre abstract dreams that are difficult to explain. Periods where you can not recall any dream activity at all. 
(I have always had prophetic dreams, even as a child, but since December I pretty much have no recollection at all of any dreams)

Periods of extreme fatigue for no apprent reason that happens out of the blue, or upon awakening although being fully rested; also, periods of feeling wide awake and energized despite lack of sleep.
(This is common for me.When these times occurr it is impossible for me to stay awake.I will usually fall into a deep sleep between 1 to 2 hours.I feel these are times when I am receiving information, or downloads as I call them) 

Changes in hearing or unusual sounds; ringing in the ears, hearing beeps, pings, tones, frequencies, whoosing or pulsating sensations. Periods of extreme sensitivity to sounds where they appear louder than usual, and periods where sounds seem more muffled.
(Lately I hear bells,or tones, but when I pay attention,of course they disappear.I feel that, as with all my senses which are expanding, I am starting to develop enhanced hearing,or clairaudience.Another of the skills we possess, which we have forgotten) 

Cold/Flu like symptoms that appear and then dissapear without actually developing a cold or flu.
( This usually happens to me if the place where I am is not a confortable vibration for me, sometimes this is called a "vibrational flu") 

Hot flashes or night sweats; feeling heat sensations throughout your body for no apparent reason, or sometimes unsual chills that come and go.
(This is one of the first symptoms that I had.I went to the doctor at the time but all my hormones were normally balanced.I feel this happens as the body burns off the dross from lower energies which are being released.) 

Increased psychic awareness and sensitivity, clairvoyance, clairaudience, clairsentience, heightened intuition, prophetic or precognitive dreams or visions occuring more often.
(As we expand our consciousness we also expand our senses.We are able to see,feel,taste,hear and smell  more than what we used to be able to do with our senses) 

Noticing shimmers or sparkles of light within the environment, especially in nature, a strange haze, halos or aurus around people or trees, plants and animals. Lights may suddenly appear more bright and intense, or unusual. Objects appear to fade away or dim in and out of focus.
(Adjusting to a new way of seeing...our third eye opening) 

Causing interference in electrical appliances; electronic devices behaving in an unsual way or malfunctioning within your presense, especially when you are in a heightened state of emotion such as anger or sadness; having light bulbs blow out or flicker when you are near. 
(This is getting expensive.Blew out another hair dryer.I blow out electronics often, too much energy transferring between me and electronics I think...)

The feeling or perception that time is speeding up or moving faster; feeling that you can't accomplish all that you want or experiencing a sense of urgency or that 'time running out'; also, a feeling that 'something is about to happen'.
( I no longer have a sense of time, but I did indeed feel a sense of urgency in the beginning of this process for me.I no longer feel this.) 

Changes in sleep patterns; sleeping for shorter periods and then awakening and falling asleep again; awakening often between the hours of 2 am - 4 am for no apparent reason.
(We process so much during our sleep that we need to wake up to take breaks.Early morning is when it is quiet and therefore a great time to integrate these new energies flowing through our bodies. Don't let it upset you, try to find something that you enjoy doing and use that time to do it) 

A feeling of detachment or wanting to withdraw suddenly from family, friends and coworkers and habitual patterns that once excited you. The feeling is not due to depression, but more from a sense of wanting to be in your own space or not being able to relate to them in the same way as before.
(As our body's vibration rises ,it becomes more and more difficult  to be around lower energies.We withdraw from all that is no longer in alignment with our new,shiny selves) 

Feeling as you don’t belong, as if you are invisible to others, or as if you are a total stranger. Strange moments where you feel others can’t hear you, or you can’t hear or see them.
(Also many times people will walk into me as if they don't see me.My guess is that I am in between spaces and so in a way they really can't see me) 

Looking out at your environment and feeling as if you are experiencing a dream world or alternative reality, that it’s not real or something looks 'fake', out of place or unusal.
(A very unusual feeling, to look around and have the world look not quite right. I feel that once again I am adjusting to seeing the world with my new "senses")

A strong feeling that you are lost and don't know 'who you are'. A feeling of being someone other than you thought you were before. Periods of wanting to 'find yourself'.
(Yes this is still me to an extent. For I am nothing like the person I was for 47 years,everything about me is different, and therefore I am starting to discover this new self) 

A sudden feeling of being connected to nature and animals like never before; an increased sensitivity to plants, trees, flowers; a deep understanding and appreciation of nature and animals, and more natural or serene environments.
(This is amazing for my connection to nature is unbelievable now. All I need to do is step outside and my vibration instantly rises.I feel such incredible love for this earth)
 

Abrupt changes in job, friends, hobbies, interests, or living environments, or a sudden feeling of wanting to relocate or being drawn to a particular area.
(If it is not for your highest good, it is not for the greatest good of all,for we are all connected.It will be released one way or another and abrupt changes will occur to help you get back in alignment with your true self)) 

Profound sense of connection with angelic and cosmic beings and an Increase feeling of Divine Love; moments of deep revelation and appreciation for life; a feeling of love, peace, understanding and interconnectedness.
(When we connect and realize that we have never been alone, the sense of peace and love is amazing) 

A sudden increase in synchronicity - meaningful coincidences that occur when you least expect them. You may notice 11:11 and other repeating number sequences such as 111, 1212, 333, 444, 144, etc., popping up in your day-to-day life in unusual ways whenever you 'happen to look'. 
(Yes,yes,yes! And this is so amazing,for signs come to us in the form of numbers to give us guidance and support.The message conveyed? You are on the right path.Keep going, for you are amazing.)

Increased "self talk." You'll find yourself talking to your Self more often. Experiencing more telepathic communication with close friends and family, and even animals. Moments in conversation where you feel energized with extremely clear and profound speaking and then not being able to recall or repeat it the same way or with the same clarity, as if it were profound wisdom coming from your higher self.
(I talk to myself all the time.Incredibly connected to my dog Sally, our relationship seems to have changed because I do communicate with her so easily now, and she with me.Telepathy starting to develop between me and soul family members.I have had instances where I said things which I had no recollection of, which later I am told have really helped others.The first time it happened it freaked me out for it felt as if I was standing beside myself hearing myself speak,but now the integration is smoother) 

A deep longing to go Home. You may experience a deep and overwhelming desire to leave the planet and return to Home. This is not a "suicidal" feeling. It is not based in anger or frustration. 
(When you finally connect to the Source of Light and Love and remember that love is the answer, it makes us want to leave this dense planet and return to our Source. Eventually this feeling changes as instead of thinking of home "out ther, you think of home inside your heart and therefore always with you.However the feeling of wanting to go Home still pops up for me,but it is getting better to handle emotionally)

Lately I have also had bouts of extreme nausea,especially during solar flares and magnetic storms,sometimes making me throw up, other times making me dizzy.
Also lately I have developed what I call a "honeybadger attitude"( this is a very funny video on youtube which explains how honeybadgers don't really care about much except eating and so even if they get stung a million times they just don't care...) don't really care about rules or laws or whatever, at this point my goal is to raise my vibration so I can ground the light and help support the raising of the planet's vibration, in which ever way is for the highest good of all.

Now with this heavy list I will give you the light list,here are more signs that you are raising your vibration...

Feeling inner peace
Looking younger
Wanting to play,play,play
Bliss
Ecstasy
Happiness
Contentment
Completeness
Creativity
Wisdom
Humility
Heart Centered
No judgment
Good health
Compassion
Completion of your Soul Journey
Feeling One with All

Shine bright my beautiful family of light.
We are doing a beautiful job, for we are divine in everything we do.
Don't forget that this is a process, therefore eventually these symptoms do pass as we release more and more of who we are not.
And as we release, we make more room within us for more light to fill us...connecting us more and more to our Source of All that Is.
All we need to do is stay in our hearts and remember to ask for help when needed,for this is a free will planet, and our light family cannot actively help us, unless we ask for help.
And don't forget to love yourself through this, after all you are here, and you are doing it, you are helping raise the vibration of this planet. 
How amazing is that?
How amazing are we?

In Light and Love

Dear Dr. Sohini,

I'm doing another no cost distant energy healing for everyone who wants to join and all their friends, families and anyone else who reads this. The main healing session is

on SATURDAY APRIL 20, 2013 from 6-7pm Pacific Daylight Time or same as Los Angeles, (7-8pm MDT), (8-9 CDT), (9-10pm EDT-same as New York).

You can join this fr'ee distant energy healing session by using your intention to be included. If you wish to join, just close your eyes for a minute when you read this and mentally say that you intend to join the session and want to be included. That is all you have to do to connect with the energy and you don't have to do anything else. Healing energy can begin to flow to you once you do this as many people who have done this before have reported.

There will be unscheduled daily energy adjustments leading up to the main session. You can receive a lot of healing energy before the main session on APRIL 20.

For those who want to know more about this work you can read the website http://www.QigongEnergyHealing.com

I was the past Secretary of the International Tibetan Qigong Association and found I had a gift for distant energy healing after recovering from a spinal cord injury.

This is not a telephone or Internet session. All you do is just relax and sit or lie down during the session and notice what is happening in your body. Even if you are busy you can still get good results. Because there are many people in the session, I please ask you don't email to join. I wouldn't be able to handle all the email unless it's done this way.

You join simply by using your intention after reading this email. Also because this is a big group I won't be able to answer questions before the session and you'll get the details you need in this email. Please feel free to email your experiences afterwards.

Besides the main healing session there will be daily unscheduled energy adjustments leading up to APRIL 20 for those who intend to join before the main session. You can begin to notice effects of the energy adjustments soon after intending to join. Sensitive people can feel the effects of this adjustment period strongly before the main session. Here are comments from people who felt the energy working soon after intending to join.

M, "This is my first experience with this type of healing and I was skeptical. I am sensitive & from the time I joined I have felt this flow of energy and coolness. It's quite interesting."

Hi, "just the minute i intended to take part, while reading the e-mail, i could feel the energy! i felt waves and waves of energy. thanks so much for sharing this blessing with us!" anna

"I just joined for the session and soon I started to feel tingling sensations in my upper arms and legs. And when I set back in the chair, it encompassed my entire body." Linda

Michael, "Shortly after I signed up, I started to feel some tingling sensation around my feet. The vibration got stronger and started to work its way up into my ankles, calves and thighs. And now 24 hours later, I'm still feeling the effects of it. If this is what you call unscheduled intermittent adjustments WOW. I can't wait for the main session to start. Thank you very much" Verna

The energy works on many levels, physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. Even though it's a group healing, the energy works with everyone individually. The energy is intelligent and knows best how to work with your energy system. The energy infuses light and energy into your energy field and can help clear and balance the acupuncture meridians, chakras and other energy channels. The energy won't weaken with a large group and can even get stronger with more people. Distance isn't a problem and you can receive this energy anywhere in the world.

This is not a telephone or Internet session. To receive the energy you just sit or lie down and relax on SAT. APRIL 20 from 6-7 PM Pacific Time-same as Los Angeles (PDT) or 9-10pm New York Time (EDT) and receive the energy. Even if you have to be active during the session you can still receive great results. People in other countries can use: http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html . Use Los Angeles as the city of origin. You can also use -7GMT to convert the time.

I ask for your help and please forward this to anyone you think may be interested. Anyone can join even if they haven't done this work before. You can post this wherever you think it would be helpful, message boards, blogs, Facebook and other social websites, chat rooms, Twitter, etc.. It's better to copy and paste this email into another email rather than forward this email because others can unsubscribe from this newsletter for you if they receive this original email. You can also just give them this blog url. http://qigongenergyhealing.blogspot.com/

To get notices on Twitter: http://twitter.com/QiEnergyHealer

You can help many people by forwarding this email. Because we are in a time of major transformation predicted by many different ancient cultures, it is easier than ever to transform negative beliefs and energy patterns.

Many spiritual traditions teach that we are all connected and now some Quantum Physicists are saying the same thing. These ancient teachings often mention the most important thing we can do is help others. When we help others we are also helping ourselves because we are all connected.

In Chaos Theory there is a term used called the butterfly effect. It proposes that small actions or variations in a system can affect giant and complex systems. It suggests that possibly a butterfly flapping it's wings in one part of the world over time could create a tornado in another part of the world or change its direction. If you send this email to others we don't know how it will affect the bigger picture. You could send it to your friends and they could send it to their friends and it could affect hundreds of people or many people could read it on a blog, message board, other social media site etc..

Once someone has received energy from the free session I'll be able to send energy to them if they're in a disaster area to help them get through difficult times. I'm only a conduit for the energy and not the source and give all credit to the Divine, Universe, Spirit or whatever term one wants to use. The energy helps people to adjust their energy field so they can heal themselves. I believe all healing is self healing. I'm very grateful for this gift and happy to share it.

I liken this to the transmitting antenna of a radio station. I'm not the source of the energy and just the conduit for the universal energy and frequencies. When you use your intention to join the session it is like a radio tuning into a radio station. When you post and email this to your friends then you are transmitting the healing energy to them. We will all be broadcasting healing energy to many thousands of people all around the planet. Letting others know can help enhance your session.

"Hi there my brother sent me the email about (the free) distant healing an as i closed my eyes i felt energy come into my head ....and then each time i sent the email to someone else the energy intensified and continued for sometime...thank you...absolutely amazing!" kind regards, Marie

A few other people wrote these comments after sessions.

Maureen Moss is the Executive Producer and host of World Puja Network, which is one of the oldest and largest holistic global Internet programs. She is the author of several books and wrote this about Michael's work; "The power of his work has continuously astounded me and shifted me! Michael Mohoric is one of the best energy healers I have ever had the pleasure of working with in my life... Michael is a Master Conductor of Energy!"

Sandy Johnson is the author of "Mystics & Healers, Travels Into The World of Mystics, Shamans, & Miracle Makers", a book about healers with unusual abilities including John of God. She wrote about this energy work after the book was published; "Even with all my exposure to healers of all types, this work leaves me amazed."

Ingrid Bacci has authored best-selling books, CD's and DVD's on self-healing and is a respected healer. She is a former professor and graduate of Harvard and Columbia Universities. Ingrid wrote the following about this work.

Hello Michael: "I want to thank you from my heart for the session Wednesday, the first I have experienced with you. As a 'healer', or facilitator of energy flow from the Universe, I recognized immediately the purity and effectiveness of your work. Before the session started, on Wednesday morning, I could feel some old emotional toxins come up and then clear. During the session itself, I felt first some 'kriya' spasms, then very strong images of gushing blue water, and then felt the energy working to open up my entire cranium and rebalance me at a deeper level in that area.

I am well aware that the more 'open' our system, the more energy we can both receive and transmit, and your work felt truly profound. I also found the work very 'instructive' in the sense of guiding me to where I need to work within myself to receive at deeper levels, and a higher energy for helping others heal. Feel free to share these comments if you like. I look forward to working together more with you. Blessings, light, and many thanks," Ingrid
You can include other people in the session by following the instructions in this letter. You can print this out and mail it to friends who don't have email to join the session. You can also read this to people over the phone if they don't have email and they'll get the energy when they use their intention to join.

For those in foreign countries you can translate this into your native language and send it to your friends to include them. Just try and stay as close and true as you can to the meaning of this email. This could be a great service to your countrymen. You can leave out the testimonials in your translation and just copy and paste the first sentence of this newsletter to the bottom of your translation.

How to Include Others

If you want to include other family members living at home in the session then just write their names on a piece of paper and put "Energy Healing" at the top of the page. Leave the paper out in the open on a counter or desk. Please don't send me their names in an additional email. You should get other adult's permission to be included (don't tell me). You don't need to get your children's permission. Anyone else outside your home will have to join by reading this email and using their intention to join. You can also include your pets by putting their names on the paper. Animals love the energy and respond very positively.

This is not a phone session. You can be anywhere and receive the energy. Your intent to join is the connection. You could be in your car or on a plane and still receive the energy. It's best to try and be quiet during the session on SAT. APRIL 20 and just notice what is happening in your body. You can sit or lie down. You can still be active and get good results during the session but best results are obtained by being quiet during the session.

It is ok to sleep during the session. It's helpful to not bathe right after the session, wait until the next morning. Try to avoid cold drinks the night of the main session & the next day. It is also good to take it easy the next day after the session and if you exercise do it very moderately. It is best to use the energy for healing and not for a lot of activity. The energy can continue to work in your body several days or more after the session and some people can continue to see changes weeks after the session.

I like to hear from people afterwards. Please feel free to email me your experience.

If you are not on my email list and would like to receive notices about other free sessions and the monthly newsletter then you can sign up through the website. You don't have to be on the email list to receive the energy. http://www.QigongEnergyHealing.com

If after the session you would like to do more intensive work with me then you can sign up through the website. You can get a monthly healing program for $99.

There is no set time for the unscheduled adjustments before the main session on APRIL 20 and you can receive this energy at any time. The unscheduled adjustments before the session can be a very powerful time. You may notice many things before, during and after the session. Some people may feel peaceful, energized, centered, balanced and sleep better. Others may be more emotional, restless and lethargic as they detoxify, which is very good. There can be a lot of purification happening on many levels during this time, emotional, mental and physical.

Before and during the session people can feel different energy sensations working in their body. Some of these feelings can be tingling, electrical, vibrating, heat, coolness, cold, pressure, lightness and other things. If you feel very cold then this is a sign that old negative energy is leaving your system. Try to stay warm if you feel very cold.

It is ok if you have to be active during the session. Many people have to work or take care of their families during this time. It can still be very beneficial if you aren't able to be quiet. It reduces the effects some but it can still be very effective. You can also sleep during the session. Sleeping is good way to receive the energy because you are very relaxed.

Try not to work on anything during the session, just be receptive and let the energy do its work. The energy knows where to work where it is most needed in your system. Thousands of people have done this and I get many reports from surprised people when the energy often finds their blockages even though they haven't told me their symptoms.

Usually a great majority of people have very positive results. Some people are more sensitive and can feel a lot of energy moving in their body. Others may not feel the energy but will notice good effects. After the sessions people can feel calm, centered, energized and balanced. They can also feel their pain greatly reduced or eliminated. Like any modality this won't work for everyone but most people see significant results.

Don't worry if you feel odd pains come and go leading up to the main session. This is good. As the energy clears the blockage in an area it can result in temporary pain. Also people can feel extra emotional during this time, which is also very good.

From a Qigong and Traditional Chinese Medical perspective much dis-ease is caused by emotional repression. The energy from these repressed emotions get stored in the organs and tissues of the body. The energy from the sessions can help to release these stored emotions. When we release repressed emotions then we can bring about deep healing. It takes a lot of energy to hold down the emotions and when they are released we can have much more energy available to us.

Sometimes people can have very beautiful and peaceful dreams during the sessions. Others can have some strange dreams. This is also beneficial. The sessions can help people to release old negative energy. The energy works like a virus detection program on a computer and can neutralize negative energy patterns, beliefs and programming.

Some people will notice some of their old negative ways of thinking will simply be gone and sometimes addictions fall away. Don't worry if you have scary dreams during the sessions. As one releases old repressed fear out of their energy field then the mind can give it a symbol. The symbols and fear are coming from your own mind. The energy work isn't causing anything, only helping to release old energy and emotions.

The energy helps to purify, cleanse and detoxify the body and mind. As the energy works through the energy blockages it can cause toxins to be released that are stored in the area. Some people may feel achy or tired at times leading up to the session. This is good and very, very helpful in the healing process. Feeling unusually tired is a sign that the body is using a lot of energy for healing.

Many modalities recognize the positive effects from detoxification. You may also find that you have to go to the bathroom more as you release toxins. During the purification process your organs of elimination will be energetically supported to help them release the toxins. I have done this process with thousands of people and the energy always works for people's highest good. If you don't feel good some of the time, try and hold the thought that you are healing.

The time leading up to and a little while after the main energy session can be a little bit like a roller coaster ride. You can feel very energized one day and then tired the next day as you release more toxins. Just realize that every time you don't feel good that it is a powerful time for healing and that you are raising the vibration of your energy system. It is good to stay hydrated and drink extra water (warm not cold) during this time.

I am very grateful for this opportunity to work with everyone.

How to Attract Helpful People into your Life

Erica Sofrina

April 11, 2013

Attracting helpful people is an important key to success in both our personal and professional lives.

The art of Feng Shui addresses all of the main areas of our lives and teaches that our homes can be useful tools for attracting all of the things that we desire on our deepest level.

Form School is a particular school of Feng Shui that uses what is called a Bagua Map. It is a map that is put over your floor plan that identifies the nine key energy centers (the “Helpful People” section is one of the nine).

Using the Bagua Map is similar to creating a vision board. It gives you a physical place in your home to place the visual affirmations that you are working with. Once you locate a specific energy center, you place objects there that represent what you want to bring into your life, as well at the things you want to keep on flowing. Just like a vision board, the messages you planted there in the form of physical objects are registering in both the conscious and subconscious mind and are sent out to the universe like radio signals.

As in the law of attraction, like attracts like. The more powerful the visual affirmation (i.e those fused with positive emotions) , the more powerful the thought form. The strength of the thought form is what focuses the chi ( energy) in the desired direction. In working with energy enhancements, make sure to choose the objects that have the most meaning for you (if you make them yourself, even better!). Feng Shui is not about hanging a talisman in your space that mysteriously brings you good fortune. This is a trite quick-fix approach which is unfortunately promoted in many Feng Shui books, giving it a bad name.

At its deepest level Feng Shui acknowledges our profound connection to our physical surroundings and the interconnection between the seen and unseen worlds. It teaches that in aligning our outer environment with our deepest desires (our inner environment), we bring our lives into balance.

In Feng Shui Helpful People refers to the angels who appear in our lives just when we need them. It is about synchronicity, being in the right place at the right time and knowing that the universe will send us the necessary helpers to assist us on our path. A chance meeting with a stranger links us to finding our life partner or connects us to a dream job, etc.

The Helpful People area is also about Travel . This is a great place to place pictures, books, postcards and other objects depicting the places you wish to travel to as well as affirming that everything will go smoothly when you do.

You may want to enhance this area if:

• You want to attract teachers, clients, colleagues, customers, employees, a nanny, gardener, contractor, or helpful people of any kind into your life, or if you are planning to relocate either your home or job.
• If you desire to travel and intend that it to be safe, easy and synchronistic.

How to Locate and Enhance the Helpful People and Travel Area of your Home

This part of Feng Shui comes out of the teaching of the Bagua, the source of which is the ancient Chinese book of wisdom and divination, the I Ching. To read more about the Bagua, I will refer you to my prior article: Where is Energy in your Home.

The ancient Feng Shui masters felt there were certain energy centers of our homes that correspond to all of the key areas of our lives. We can locate these energy centers by overlaying what is called a Bagua map, onto the floor plan of our living space. Once we locate them we want to:

1. Take a look at what is going on there and see if it connects to what is going on in our lives at present. (You may have some ah’hah moments!)

2. Clean it up, clear it out and make it an attractive place to spend time in.

3. Add enhancements to encourage the chi (energy) to become activated along with environmental affirmations that represent what it is you do want to have happen in this area of your life. These can be collages, vision boards, meaningful objects, pictures etc. What ever invokes a sense of excitement and passion around the desired object or outcome.

Next: How to enhance the Helpful People and Travel Area

Enhancements

Here are some suggested enhancements if you would like to activate the Helpful People and Travel area of your home:

1. Objects, statues, posters or vision boards that represent your own personal spiritual guides such as saints, angels, gods, goddesses, deities, nature, power animals, totems, etc.

2. Posters, paintings, collages or photos of special places you have traveled or would like to travel to or objects from places in the world that have always inspired you.

3. Pictures and objects that represent the living ‘angels’ in your life.

4. Items pertaining to helpful people such as clients, customers, employees, teachers, benefactors and mentors that you want to attract into your life or keep in your life. You may be working with attracting the perfect nanny or gardener or handyman, or even volunteers for your non-profit.

5. Create a ‘helpful angels’ garden outside or a nook in your home. If you are missing this area from your floor plan, create the garden in the area outside where this would be located in the home. Add the symbols that are the most personal to you. (Please note I am not promoting we have our yards look like ‘My Big Fat Green Wedding,’ with huge statues of Athena in the front yard!)

6. Find a box you love and turn it into an affirmations box and place it in this area. Write an affirmation about what it is you desire to bring into your life in terms of Helpful People and Travel. Write it with gratitude, in present tense as if it is true now. Date it and read it frequently, visualizing clearly what it is you are requesting and feel it as if it is happening in the present.

7. Accessories in the colors of white, gray or black. Please don’t paint the walls black, just have some accessories in these colors which represent both the water and metal elements connected to this area.

If you are trying to sell your home, you may want to put cards of Realtors in your Helpful People Affirmations Box. If you are looking for a new home, pictures and affirmations of the ideal place would go here, placed next to your vision

Next: The Bagua Map — how to locate the helpful people and travel section of the home

How to Place the Bagua Over the Floor Plan of your Home.

Click Here for your free color copy of the Bagua Map

1. Draw a sketch of the floor plan of your space. This should be the birds-eye view as if you are looking down on it. Include all built-on decks, stairways and attached garages. If you live in a condo, apartment or one room, draw the shape of this as if you are looking down from above.

2. Draw a square or rectangle over the floor plan in the shape of the Bagua map. Stretch it out into a long skinny rectangle if need be. All of the areas of the home (or space) need to be within the square or rectangle. If your home is an irregular shape, still draw the rectangle or square around it. Not all homes are square or rectangular, so you may very well be missing some areas of the Bagua. Instructions on how to deal with this are below.

3. Stand at the front door with the map parallel to the floor with the Entrance Quadrant touching your stomach. This will tell you the direction to overlay the Bagua map onto the floor plan of your home.

4. Now divide your home with the Bagua map overlaid on it in nine equal sections. This will identify for you where all of the key nine areas are of your home are. The wealth area will always be the far left quadrant of the home and the Love and Marriage the far right section, etc.

5. If your home is not a rectangle or square, you may be missing areas of the Bagua. If this is the case, you can do a mini-Bagua for each room of your home and enhance the HP & T corner of each room. Treat the main entrance to the room like you would the front door of the home and lay the Bagua accordingly. This energetically brings back into the space the missing area. If this area falls in the yard, create a Helpful People garden if appropriate.

6. If you have more than one floor of your home, what ever is below is above. You do not turn the Bagua differently for each floor. In which case you may have more than one H P & T area, the same rules of enhancement apply to all areas!

Note: I practice and write about Western Form School Feng Shui, which works with the Bagua map and is a different school than Classical Compass School Feng Shui, which uses a Chinese compass along with Chinese Astrology to determine chi or energy flow. I suggest you choose the approach that resonates the most with you and stick with it.

This video shows what happened on Mars 17 when an CME (Coronal Mass Ejection) hit Earths magnetic field. Two days earlier, sunspot AR1692 had produced a M1-class solar flare that resulted in the CME that hit Earth.

This time lapse shows what happened during four hours over Östersund here in Sweden, between 19:20 and 23:35 UT.

The time lapse consists of 2464 raw images for a total data amount of 30Gb. The photo of the Sun is a hydrogen alpha mosaic I've made from 10 images that was captured on Mars 16. Total of 10 Gb data. So all in all this movie contains over 40Gb of data that I've been processing over the last 5 days. Hope you enjoy it.

200,000 Year Old Annunaki Cities Discovered in Africa

http://youtu.be/OGNocRWrR2s

Published on 15 Oct 2012

Publisher and producer Michael Tellinger discussed his study of ancient ruins at the southern tip of Africa, which he believes were associated with a vanished civilization that ET visitors, the Annunaki, brought together over 200,000 years ago, when they came here to mine gold. The ruins, which he's investigated along with Johan Heine, consist of thousands of stone structures over a large area. The structures show evidence of their extreme antiquity through erosion and patina growth, he detailed. One of the most important ruins he referred to as "Adam's Calendar," a monolithic stone calendar that could mark time out by the day.

The Annunaki tinkered with human genetics to make their mine workers, Tellinger said, referencing the work of Zecharia Sitchin. Among the ruins are hexagonal shapes clustered together like honeycombs, which he speculated could have been used as cloning tanks. Further, he suggested that many of the structures, made out of stones that contain quartz, were used as energy devices to power the large settlements.

By studying the area using aerial maps, Tellinger determined there were three great cities, some 60 x 60 miles each, one of which included Great Zimbabwe. Among the ruins, the first pyramids can be found, and details carved into some of the rocks include the Ankh symbol-- thousands of years before the Egyptian civilization used it, he reported.

Biography:

Michael Tellinger is a scientist in the true sense of the word, never shying away from controversial issues and scrutinizing every clue meticulously. After a 30-year long obsession with the origins of humankind and the genetic anomalies of our species, he wrote Slave Species of God. When Johan Heine exposed the mystery of the stone ruins of South Africa to Michael in 2007, they began an irreversible process of research that led Michael to some startling scientific conclusions and the completion of two more books, Adam's Calendar and Temples of the African Gods.

The Anunnaki (also transcribed as: Anunna, Anunnaku, Ananaki and other variations) are a group of deities in ancient Mesopotamian cultures (i.e., Sumerian, Akkadian, Assyrian and Babylonian). The name is variously written "da-nuna", "da-nuna-ke4-ne", or "da-nun-na", meaning something to the effect of "those of royal blood" or 'princely offspring'. Their relation to the group of gods known as the Igigi is unclear — at times the names are used synonymously but in the Atra-Hasis flood myth the Igigi are the sixth generation of the Gods who have to work for the Anunnaki, rebelling after 40 days and replaced by the creation of humans.

According to later Assyrian and Babylonian myth, the Anunnaki were the children of Anu and Ki, brother and sister gods, themselves the children of Anshar and Kishar (Skypivot and Earthpivot, the Celestial poles), who in turn were the children of Lahamu and Lahmu ("the muddy ones"), names given to the gatekeepers of the Abzu temple at Eridu, the site at which the creation was thought to have occurred. Finally, Lahamu and Lahmu were the children of Tiamat (Goddess of the Ocean) and Abzu (God of Fresh Water).

“Judge nothing, you will be happy. Forgive everything, you will be happier. Love everything, you will be happiest.” ~Sri Chinmoy

I had this idea a while ago, after writing something said by and animal totem that came close to me.

This is what the cards will look like, I now just have to design the symbols and writing that has to go on it.

Yes I know wolves are not African animals but I could not resist making this one, just for myself.

There is still a lot of work left on these cards...

But I am looking forward to spend much time with my animal friends....

Editions and changes

I changed it a bit, its still not 100%, I will tweak it some more.

Now I made 2 and cant decide which look better.

Progress is slow, as the pictures I use has to be heavily adjusted.

The symbols also still have to be added

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monolith_(Space_Odyssey)

Monoliths are fictional advancedmachines built by an unseenextraterrestrial species that appear in Arthur C. Clarke's Space Odyssey series of novels and films. During the series, three monoliths are discovered in the solar systemby humans and it is revealed that thousands if not more were created throughout the solar system, although none are seen. The subsequent response of the characters to their discovery drives the plot of the series. It also influences the fictional history of the series, particularly by encouraging humankind to progress with technological development and space travel.

The first monolith appears in the beginning of the story, set in prehistoric times. It is discovered by a group of hominids, and somehow triggers a considerable shift in evolution, starting with the ability to use tools and weaponry. 

The nomenclature TMA

The first monolith discovered in the modern age was uncovered on the Moon at the site of an unnaturally powerful magnetic field near the crater Tycho. It was called the Tycho Magnetic Anomaly 1 ("TMA-1") before the monolith was discovered. After this is discovered to be an alien artifact, its name becomes the "Tycho Monolith Anomaly 1" (still TMA-1). Soon afterward, a second, larger monolith was discovered orbiting Jupiter; it was dubbed "TMA-2". A few centuries in the future, a third monolith is discovered that is buried on Earth in rocks that were clearly millions of years old, and it is surrounded by primitive human artifacts. This one is retroactively named "TMA-0" (as opposed to "TMA-3") because it had been the first monolith to be discovered by men-apes during prehistoric times.

The term "Tycho Magnetic Anomaly" is something of a misnomer when referring to "TMA-0" and "TMA-2", since neither of these is found on the Moon (let alone in Tycho Crater) and neither one of them emits any significant magnetic field, as described in the novel 2010: Odyssey Two. In the novel, the Russian crewmen of the spaceship Alexei Leonov refer to the TMA-2 as "Zagadka" (from theRussian word for "enigma", "mystery", or "riddle").

Origins

The extraterrestrial species that built the monoliths is never described in much detail, but some knowledge of its existence is given to Dave Bowman after he is transported by the stargate to the "cosmic zoo", as detailed in the novels 2001: A Space Odyssey and 2010: Odyssey Two. The existence of this species is only hypothesized by the rest of humanity, but it is obvious because the monolith was immediately identified as an artifact of non-human origin.

The extraterrestrial species that built the monoliths developed intergalactic travel millions or perhaps billions of years before the present time. In the novels, Clarke refers to them as the "Firstborn" (not to be confused with the identically-named race in Arthur C. Clarke's and Stephen Baxter's Time Odyssey Series) since they were quite possibly the first sentient species to possess a significant capability of interstellar travel. Members of this species had explored the Solar System in the search of knowledge, and especially knowledge about other intelligent species.

While these early explorers discovered that life was quite common, they observed that intelligent life was often stunted in its development, or else died out prematurely. Hence, they set about fostering it. The "Firstborn" were in many ways physically different from human beings, though from another point-of-view they were fundamentally the same: they were creatures made of "flesh and blood", and hence like human beings they were mortal.

However, the evolutionary development projects they began would by their nature require very long time-spans to complete, far longer than the lifetimes of their creators. Therefore, the aliens created increasingly complex automated machines to oversee and carry out their projects over the eons. When they encountered a living world that had features in favor of the evolution of intelligent life, they left behind the monoliths as remote observers that were also capable of taking a variety of actions according to the wishes of their creators. One such planet, encountered when it was still quite young, was the Earth. They also observed Jupiter and its watery moon, Europa. The decaying ecology ofMars was also visited, but passed over in favor of more fruitful locations like Earth. The aliens left behind three monoliths to observe and enact their plan to foster humans to pursue technology and space travel.

As described in Clarke's novel, the Firstborn discovered later how to transfer their consciousness onto computers, and thus they became thinking machines. In the end, they surpassed even this achievement, and were able to transfer entirely from physical to non-corporeal forms - the "Lords of the Galaxy" — omniscient, immortal, and capable of travelling at great speeds. The Firstborn had abandoned physical form, but their creations, the monoliths, remained, and these continued to carry out their original assignments. 

Appearance and capabilities

All the monoliths are black, extremely flat, non-reflective rectangular solids whose dimensions are in the precise ratio of 1 : 4 : 9 (the squares of the first three integers). These dimensions are the main source of debate about the simple external design of the monoliths. It is suggested in the novel 2001that this number series does not stop at three dimensions.^[1]

The monoliths are observed in several different sizes - TMA-0 and TMA-1 are both about 11 feet long and TMA-2 is two kilometers long on its longest axis, whereas the monolith that appears on Europais considerably larger. They may be able to assume any size, because in 2010: Odyssey Two, the Star Child, created from the astronaut Dave Bowman, cryptically notes that the monolith is actually one size - "as large as necessary".

These monoliths appear to be extremely long lived and reliable machines, essentially an incredibly advanced form of multifunction robot, being able to survive for millions of years buried in the ground or resisting meteorite impacts and radiation in space, with no apparent damage. The two monoliths recovered and examined by humans reveal themselves to be virtually indestructible and impenetrable, resisting all attempts to analyze their composition or internal structure right up to the end of the series. It is suggested by Dr. Heywood Floyd that they possess some sort of force shield, an impression he gets from touching it and much later accepted as most probable because the monoliths resist destructive testing beyond the theoretical limits of material strength. However, they are not completely indestructible - the TMA-4 has suffered from damage caused by a giant meteoriteof solid diamond that collided with Europa in 2061: Odyssey Three. In the final book, 3001: The Final Odyssey, all three monoliths known to humankind are deactivated by infecting them with a powerfulcomputer virus.

While it is unclear what the composition of the monoliths is, they clearly have mass, which is about the only observation that can be made. In the novel 2010, the crewmen of the spaceship Alexi Leonovmeasure the mass of TMA-2 and they find that it has a density slightly higher than that of air (presumably at a standard temperature and pressure). The masses of TMA-0 and TMA-1 are never revealed by Clarke.

In 2001, TMA-2 opens up a stargate that takes Dave Bowman on a trip across the universe at speeds that are far faster-than-light, and with as much acceleration as the creators of the stargate wish. In2010 and again in 3001, TMA-2 is seen to teleport itself.

TMA-2 is also seen to replicate itself by a form of symmetrical binary fission and exponential growthto create thousands or millions of identical monoliths in just a matter of days. In 2010, the many units act to increase the density of Jupiter until stellar ignition is carried out, hence converting the planet into a miniature star. In 3001, millions of copies of TMA-2 are observed to assemble themselves into two megastructure disks that attempt to block the Sun from the Earth and from its colonies in the Jovian system.

The monoliths are clearly described in the novels as being controlled by internal computer, just likeVon Neumann machines. In 2061, the consciousness of Dave Bowman, HAL-9000, and Dr. Floyd become incorporated as computer programs in 'TMA-2 as their new home. Then, TMA-2 which observes the development of the Europans and guards them from any interplanetary (i.e. human) interference.

Both the TMA-1 and the TMA-2 do produce occasional, powerful, directional radio transmissions. TMA-2 sends a radio transmission towards a star system about 450 light years away in the 22nd century. However, only TMA-1 ever exhibited any strong magnetic fields.

Tycho Magnetic Anomaly-1

The name Tycho Magnetic Anomaly-1 (also known as the TMA-1) refers to the strong magnetic fieldfound somewhere in the lunar Crater Tycho by an American scientific satellite. Astronauts find that this magnetic anomaly is caused by an alien monolith buried about 15 meters below the surface. When the monolith is excavated and examined, it is found to be a black parallelepiped whose sides extend in the precise ratio of 1 : 4 : 9 (1² : 2² : 3²). However, in the novel, Clarke suggests that thissequence or ratio extends past the three known spatial dimensions into the much higher dimensions, like this: 16 : 25 : 36...

The TMA-1 was dug up during the lunar night, but after sunrise and its exposure to direct sunlight, TMA-1 emits a single powerful burst of radio waves -- aimed at Iapetus (Saturn) in the novel, and aimed at Jupiter in the motion picture. Its powerful magnetic field disappears immediately. In the novel, some scientists speculate that its magnetic field came from large electric current, circulating in a system of superconductors for millions of years as an energy-storage mechanism. All of that electric power was expended in the one radio signal.

Tycho Magnetic Anomaly-2

An identical (except in size) object was found later, orbiting Jupiter (on a moon of Saturn in the book, although this was changed to Jupiter in the sequel book, 2010: Odyssey Two). This object was dubbed "TMA-2", a term that the book calls "doubly inappropriate": it had no magnetic field and was millions of miles from Tycho (TMA-2 was often referred to as "Big Brother" due to David Bowman's comments on its immense size). In 3001: The Final Odyssey, HAL and Bowman destroy TMA-2 with a computer virus after it is learned that its superiors are sending an order to destroy humanity.

Tycho Magnetic Anomaly-0

In the year 2513, the first Monolith to be encountered by humankind's prehistoric evolutionary predecessors was found in Olduvai Gorge, Africa, buried in ancient rock, and was retroactively dubbed "TMA-0".

Namesake

"Monolith" was used by Grundig (a German electronics manufacturer) to name a series of its high fidelity loudspeakers.^[2] The largest model in the series, Grundig Monolith 190 (1979-1983), weighted 83 kg and its proportions (including a height of approximately 2 m) were reminiscent of extraterrestrialmonoliths.

In the late 1980s, Apple Inc. bought a Cray supercomputer to model experimental processor designs. After the machine was installed and set up, a company-wide contest was held to choose a name for the machine: the winning suggestion was TMA-1.^{[citation needed]}

Danish headphone manufacturer Aiaiai have recently released a model named the TMA-1 due to the matte black finish and design of the headphones. This company has attributed the naming of this model to the monolith from 2001.

Seattle Monolith

On New Year's Day 2001, the Seattle Monolith, a replica of the Monolith made out of welded steel appeared on a hill in Seattle's Magnuson Park, apparently having been placed there during the night before. It disappeared overnight three days later, and was presumed to be a reference to the monolith in 2001: A Space Odyssey.^[3]

Tonight let’s talk about what is going on in the rest of the world.  The U.S. media is so incurious about anything beyond your own shores that it is extremely difficult to get a sense of the state of the planet.  We can fill you in there, as can our dear Tara and Rama, who report the world news on their own website and on the http://www.AshtarontheRoad.com website.  

Many lightworkers do not connect with this amazing energy and it is only because his presence has not been made well known.  But that is going to change this week as he will be our Guest Speaker in the Clarion Temple of Oneness.

The Lord also known as the Logos of the Great Bear Star System is the higher aspect – the cosmic level of the Lord of Sirius and the Great White Lodge, who is the higher aspect of the Solar Logos, Helios.  This also includes the star systems under the Great Bear Constellations of Arcturus, Sirius, Pleadius, and Andromeda.  He also aligns his energies within the dimensional frequencies from the 20^th through the 36^th level which represent the Christed-Extraterrestrial Beings of Light.

  He is a majestic Being that many do not know about his essence.  He is the overlighting energy of the 21^st Ray of God, Eternity and Divine Structure “Learning to Access Spiritual Harmony of Light Within”.  This ray becomes the 21^st chakra in the 5^th dimensional chakra grid that is aligned within the Third Eye with the colors of Blue Gold.

  Working within the 21^st Ray will help in accessing and healing of All Timelines whether they are active or inactive.  This opens up the doorway for Clarity and illumination; thereby, accessing the ability to perceive all dimensions as One Source of Light.

 We will be honoring the essence of the Lord of the Great Bear Star System in the Clarion Temple of Oneness mediation on Monday, April 15^th, 2013.  This call is held via teleconference and you can sign up to be on the live call via our website,  http://walkingterrachrista.com/tele-calls/.

Lord of the Great Bear will be sharing with us the energies that will be occurring on April 22^nd, 2013 within the skies, a Meteor Shower of Love.  He has asked to be our guest for this week and we honor him with his presence.  We believe that this represents many Inter-galactic races of the Christed Universes that are gathering to show their presence amongst our skies.  This should be a very powerful meditation and we hope you will decide to join us.

Individuals may join the Clarion Temple of Oneness for the live call.  Please click the link to see the details to join on a per-call basis.
