2012 Apocalypse : No Killer Solar Flare The Sun will be approaching
the peak of its 11-year cycle, called "solar maximum", so we can
expect a lot of solar activity. Some predictions put the solar maximum of Solar
Cycle 24 even more energetic than the last solar maximum in 2002-2003 (remember
all those record breaking X-class flares?). Solar physicists are already
getting excited about this next cycle and new prediction methods are being put
to good use. Like most of the various ways the world is going to end in 2012,
the possibility of the Sun blasting out a huge, Earth-damaging solar flare is
very attractive to the doomsayers out there. But let's have a look at what
really happens during an Earth-directed solar flare event, the Earth is
actually very well protected. Although some satellites may not be…The Earth has
evolved in a highly radioactive environment. The Sun constantly fires
high-energy particles from its magnetically dominated surface as the solar
wind. During solar maximum (when the Sun is at its most active), the Earth may
be unlucky enough to be staring down the barrel of an explosion with the energy
of 100 billion Hiroshima-sized atomic bombs. This explosion is known as
a solar flare and the effects of which can cause problems here on Earth.Before
we look at the Earth-side effects, let's have a look at the Sun and briefly
understand why it gets so angry every 11 years or so.
The Solar Cycle
First and foremost, the Sun
has a natural cycle with a period of approximately 11 years. During the
lifetime of each cycle, the magnetic field lines of the Sun are dragged around
the solar body by differential rotation at the solar equator. This means that
the equator is spinning faster than the magnetic poles. As this continues,
solar plasma drags the magnetic field lines around the Sun, causing stress and
a build up of energy (an illustration of this is pictured). As magnetic energy increases, kinks in the
magnetic flux form, forcing them to the surface. These kinks are known as
coronal loops which become more numerous during periods of high solar activity.
As coronal loops continue to pop up over the surface, sunspots appear too,
often located at the loop footpoints. Coronal loops have the effect of pushing
the hotter surface layers of the Sun (the photosphere and chromosphere) aside,
exposing the cooler convection zone (the reasons why the solar surface and
atmosphere is hotter than the solar interior is down to the coronal heating
phenomenon). As magnetic energy builds up, we can expect more and more magnetic
flux to be forced together. This is when a phenomenon known as magnetic
reconnection occurs. Reconnection is the trigger
for solar flares of various sizes. As previously reported, solar flares from
"nanoflares" to "X-class flares" are very energetic events.
Granted, the largest flares my generate enough energy for 100 billion atomic
explosions, but don't let this huge figure concern you. For a start, this flare
occurs in the low corona, right near the solar surface. That's nearly 100
million miles away (1AU). The Earth is nowhere close to the blast. As the solar magnetic field
lines release a huge amount of energy, solar plasma is accelerated and confined
within the magnetic environment (solar plasma is superheated particles like
protons, electrons and some light elements such as helium nuclei). As the
plasma particles interact, X-rays may be generated if the conditions are right
and bremsstrahlung is possible. (Bremsstrahlung occurs when charged particles
interact, resulting in X-ray emission.) This may create an X-ray flare.
The Problem with X-ray
Solar Flares The biggest problem with an
X-ray flare is that we get little warning when it is going to happen as X-rays
travel at the speed of light (one of the record breaking 2003 solar flares is
pictured left). X-rays from an X-class flare will reach the Earth in around
eight minutes. As X-rays hit our atmosphere, they are absorbed in the outermost
layer called the ionosphere. As you can guess from the name, this is a highly
charged, reactive environment, full of ions (atomic nuclei, and free
electrons). During powerful solar
events such as flares, rates of ionization between X-rays and atmospheric gases
increase in the D and E region layers of the ionosphere. Interestingly, the
increase in electron density during a SID boosts the propagation of Very Low
Frequency (VLF) radio, a phenomenon scientists use to measure the intensity of
X-rays coming from the Sun. Coronal Mass Ejections? X-ray solar flare emissions
are only part of the story. If the conditions are right, a coronal mass
ejection (CME) might be produced at the site of the flare (although either
phenomenoncan occur independently). CMEs are slower than the propagation of
X-rays, but their global effects here on Earth can be more problematic. They
may not travel at the speed of light, butWe have a handful of spacecraft
sitting between the Earth and the Sun at the Earth-Sun Lagrangian (L1) point
withsensors on board to measure the energy and intensity of the solar wind. Should
a CME pass through their location, energetic particles and the interplanetary
magnetic field (IMF) can bemeasured directly. ACE teamsup with the
Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) and the Solar TErrestrial RElations
Observatory (STEREO), so CMEs can be tracked from the lower corona into
interplanetary space, through the L1 point toward Earth. These solar missions
are actively working together to provide space agencies with advanced notice of
an Earth-directed CME. So what if a CME reaches
Earth? For a start, much depends on the magnetic configuration of the IMF (from
the Sun) and the geomagnetic field of the Earth (the magnetosphere). Generallyspeaking,
if both magnetic fields are aligned with polarities pointing in the same
direction, it is highly probable that the CME will be repelled by the
magnetosphere. In this case, the CME will slide past the Earth, causing some
pressure and distortion on the magnetosphere, but otherwise passing without a
problem. However, if the magnetic field lines are in an anti-parallel
configuration (i.e. magnetic polarities in opposite directions), magnetic
reconnection may occur at the leading edge of the magnetosphere. In this event, the IMF and
magnetosphere will merge, connecting the Earth's magnetic field with the Sun's.
Satellites in Peril As the CME magnetic field
connects with the Earth's, high energy particles are injected into the
magnetosphere. Due to solar wind pressure, the Sun's magnetic field lines will
fold around the Earth, sweeping behind our planet. The particles injected in
the "dayside" will be funnelled into the polar regions of the Earth
where they interact with our atmosphere, generating light as aurorae. During
this time, the Van Allen belt will also become "super-charged",
creating a region around the Earth that could cause problems to unprotected
astronauts and any unshielded satellites. For more on the damage that can be
caused to astronauts and spacecraft, check out "Radiation Sickness,
Cellular Damage and Increased Cancer Risk for Long-term Missions to Mars"
and "New Transistor Could Side-Step Space Radiation Problem." As if the radiation from
the Van Allen belt wasn't enough,atmosphere. As you'd expect, as if
the Sun hits the Earth withX-rays and CMEs, there will be inevitable
heating and globalexpansion of the atmosphere, possibly encroaching
intosatellite orbital altitudes. If left unchecked, an aerobrakingeffect on
satellites could cause them to slow and drop inaltitude. effect on satellites
orbiting Earth as any slowing of velocitycould cause it to re-enter the

2012 The Shift in Human Consciousness
By Sol Luckman Are you aware that a Shift
in human consciousness is occurring even as you read these words that employs
celestial triggers such as supernovas and Earth's alignment with Galactic
Center in the years leading up to 2012 apocalypse to trigger the
evolution of our species? This Shift has been documented in a stimulating
multimedia presentation entitled “Preparing for the Shift,” by Barry and Janae
Weinhold, Ph.D.s. Over decades devoted to the study of consciousness and
evolution, the Weinholds, both trained psychologists, have gathered
overwhelming evidence that humanity is in the middle of a long-awaited Shift in
consciousness predicted in hundreds of indigenous cultures worldwide. It is also evident in the
ecological breakdown of numerous Earth systems, a widespread perception time is
accelerating, drastic changes in weather patterns, more people feeling
overwhelmed by modern life's complexity, and increased polarization between
groups, religions, and regions.
The significance of the
winter solstice on December 21, 2012 apocalypse, the expected apocalypse
according to the Mayan, Aztec, Incan and Hopi traditions, is that this date
marks the close of several cycles of time. Mayan timekeepers believe that human
evolution unfolds as a result of such precisely calibrated master cycles of
time. They predict that Earth and humanity are about to be birthed into a new
reality based on unity predicated on a dramatic advance in consciousness.
In human terms, becoming
“individuated” means moving from being unconsciously united with the Creator or
Ground of Being, to choosing to become divided from the Creator and developing
separate individual consciousness, to finally returning to the Creator as
conscious, aware individuals. Once people fully individuate, it becomes
possible for them to make empowered, discerning choices and use intention to
co-create reality with Source–or perhaps more accurately, to create reality as
Source.
The second cycle of time
ending in 2012 apocalypse highlighted in “Preparing for the Shift” is the close
of the Galactic Year. From a galactic perspective, the Weinholds ask, “What was
conceived on Earth 225 million years ago?”
This process of planetary
individuation not only correlates with continental drift theory; my research
indicates there is also an energetic correspondence between Earth's twelve
tectonic plates responsible for continental drift and the twelve pairs of
cranial nerves in the human brain, which are themselves linked to the biblical
Twelve Tribes. Considered together, this evidence suggests that Earth, like
humans, has undergone her own “separating out” or individuation. Based on such
interconnectedness, it is also reasonable to expect that as human consciousness
exponentially increases, Earth will also undergo a significant–and
observable–transformation.
Astronomers studying
Galactic Center report that it periodically becomes extremely active. During
these episodes, it spews out fierce barrages of cosmic energy equal to
thousands of supernova explosions. A growing number of researchers such as
Sergey Smelyakov, author of a fascinating paper entitled “The Auric Time Scale
and the Mayan Factor,” in addition to many indigenous peoples worldwide,
theorize that as Galactic Center becomes more energized, it catalyzes human
evolution through frequency emissions in the form of higher-dimensional
“torsion” waves transmitted to Earth via the sun.
A comprehensive scientific
model for the “Energetic Engine of Evolution” has been proposed by David
Wilcock, a highly gifted psychic and speculative scientist whose theory of
“Evolution as 'Intelligent Design'” deserves summarizing. Citing the work of a
vanguard of researchers, Wilcock presents a model that unites many disciplines
and provides several critical missing pieces to the evolutionary puzzle. Basing
his analysis on the realization, embraced by more and more of today's
scientists, that Darwinian evolutionary theory is “extinct,” Wilcock observes
that the “probabilities that DNA could evolve by 'random mutation' are so
minute as to be utterly laughable–akin to the idea that if you have enough
monkeys tapping away on typewriters, one of them will eventually produce a
complete Shakespearean play.” Far surpassing the reach of gradual, incremental
evolution, which certainly occurs as environmental adaptation, the fossil
record from all over the planet makes it abundantly clear that species
regularly evolve in heretofore inexplicable leaps and bounds, skipping what
would seem from a Darwinian perspective to be crucial evolutionary phases. At
the top of a long list of species whose evolution has baffled science is the
human species.
“When we consider that the
size of the brain literally doubled between that of humanity's apparent
ancestors and ourselves, with no evidence of a smooth transformation
whatsoever,” writes Wilcock, “once again we see a spontaneous evolution of the
creatures on Earth.” One scientist associated with National Geographic,
studying the intricate bone carvings dating to 70,000 B.C.E. found at Blombos
Cave in South Africa, concluded that behavioral evolution mirrors anatomical
development–an important observation meaning, in Wilcock’s words, that
“spontaneous evolution is not simply physiological, but consciousness-related
as well. When a new bodily form has emerged, consciousness changes appear to
occur.”
Moreover, as indicated by
the Mayan calendar, rather than in fits and starts, such evolutionary
fast-forwards of physiology and consciousness happen in organized, predictable
cycles. Theorizing a “harmonic relationship” between the 26,000-year Mayan
calendar and 26-million-year period between extinctions/evolutionary leaps in
the fossil record, Wilcock notes that all Earth species have suddenly evolved,
or metamorphosed, every 26 million years, making a strong case for “an outside
energetic influence that operates in a regular, cyclic fashion.”
To answer the question what
outside energetic influence is responsible for these rhythmic evolutionary
revolutions, it is necessary to factor in the concept of torsion energy or
universal creative consciousness. Some writers, most notably Barbara Hand Clow,
have focused attention on something called the Photon Belt or Photon Band,
which can be envisioned as a torsion-wave “light lattice” connecting Earth via
our sun to Galactic Center that serves as a guiding data communication network
for human and planetary evolution.
Wilcock's research
indicates that something very much like a Photon Band most definitely exists as
lines of higher-dimensional torsion radiation emanating from Galactic Center. Both
Wilcock and Clow envision the Photon Band as tracing figure-eights throughout
the spiraling pattern of the Milky Way Galaxy (see figure below). It appears
from Dr. Nikolai Kozyrev's research involving aether that such looping “zero
point” or torsion energy based on the phi ratio (1.6180339) is, among other
things, directly responsible for our cyclical experience of time.
From Book One on the
Regenetics Method, Conscious Healing: The Photon Band & Black Road. It
takes 225 million Earth years for the Milky Way Galaxy to make one complete
rotation through the Photon Band, which is believed to be a birth cycle for our
galaxy. Recalling the aether theories of Kozyrev, fellow Russian scientist
Sergey Smelyakov's research demonstrates that the harmonic vibrations of phi,
also referred to as the Golden Mean and Fibonacci sequence, inform the very
fabric of space-time. Mathematically, the Photon Band appears to be structured
on phi, producing set cosmic intervals the Mayans were aware of when
constructing their uncannily accurate calendar. Smelyakov's “The Auric Time
Scale and the Mayan Factor” compellingly suggests that Earth connects to
Galactic Center via our solar system in a harmonic fashion he calls
“Solar-planetary Synchronism,” a vibratory relationship based on the Golden Mean.
In an article entitled “The
Ultimate Secret of the Mayan Calendar,” Wilcock cites Smelyakov's research,
writing that it helps explain the end of the Mayan calendar in geometric terms
as an “infinitely-converging end point” in which time appears to “collapse.” 2012
Apocalypse
Torsion energy spiraling as
the Photon Band from the creative consciousness at the Core of our universe is
Wilcock's “Energetic Engine of Evolution.” Because of its curvilinear form, the
Photon Band is composed of swaths of lesser and greater density of torsion
waves manifesting as higher-dimensional light. As our solar system orbits
episodically into galactic regions characterized by greater density of torsion
waves (i.e., greater light or consciousness), which it is currently doing, life
on our planet, including the living organism that is Earth, is intelligently
stimulated to evolve in spectacular ways not only physically but also mentally,
emotionally, and spiritually.
“By combining the effects
of geo-cosmic change with the overall flourishing of humanity in the cultural
and spiritual sense,” observes Wilcock, “we see that as the cycle continues to
exponentially accelerate its energetic rate of vibration into the 2012-2013
'singularity,' we can expect … rapid increases in human awareness.” This
centripetal cycle leads inexorably to a “discontinuous mega-event where 'time
and space collapse.'” In humans, evolutionary activation occurs as torsion
waves stimulate transposons or “jumping DNA” to rewrite the genetic code–a
phenomenon supported by a considerable amount of scientific evidence. Bruce
Lipton's research unambiguously affirms that cells possess the ability to
reprogram their own DNA, with measurable physical results such as otherwise
inexplicable dietary modifications in organisms, when environmentally prompted.
Similarly, in a concise but excellent study entitled “Retrotransposons as
Engines of Human Bodily Transformation,” biochemist Colm Kelleher addresses the
subject of radical genetic adaptation or evolution as a result of what he terms
a “transposition burst.” A transposition burst is a plausible mechanism at the
DNA/RNA level that could accomplish such a genome wide change. Transposition
bursts comprise the concerted movement of multiple mobile DNA elements from
different genetic locations to new positions, sometimes on different
chromosomes … Human DNA contains an abundance of the necessary genetic
structures to accomplish a transposition burst involving hundreds, or even
thousands, of genes.
Referencing a particular
DNA sequence containing three different transposon families arranged in
beadlike formation, Kelleher theorizes that owing to its tripartite
configuration, this DNA sequence would be “an effective participant in large
scale transposon mediated genetic change that eventually results in
transformation of the human body.”
Perhaps the most undeniable
evidence supporting the concept of a torsion life-wave or Photon Band of
universal creative consciousness energetically directing the spontaneous
formation and development of Earth species comes from Tim Harwood, who calls
attention to one of nature's more miraculous phenomena. This soup contains no
recognizable cells or DNA as it is currently understood, but when the time is
right, the torsion life-wave signals the DNA to recombine and, within a matter
of days, cells emerge to create new life-forms.
Wilcock concludes that the
human species, somewhat like caterpillars entering metamorphosis, is currently
“being programmed by the galactic center to become more advanced while … still
here in our bodies.” It is therefore possible that as we move into increasingly
“intelligent” zones of energy in the galaxy, the DNA energy patterns for the
creatures on the planet are all upgraded, and the mutations occur so
rapidly–well within one lifetime–that no “transitional” fossils exist.
Earth's movement through a
denser area of the Photon Band directly aligned with Galactic Center began
around the time of the so-called Harmonic Convergence in 1987, will enter into
a historical astronomical alignment around 2012 apocalypse , and will be
complete (from our present linear perspective) by about 2016. Over the course
of the past two decades, as Wilcock and the Weinholds point out, major Earth,
planetary and solar changes–from unprecedented alterations in planetary
atmospheres to drastic surges in volcanic and earthquake activity–have been
observed. Arguably of greatest significance from our perspective is that the
sun is now moving into alignment with Galactic Center. Other researchers,
observing that most of DNA's amino acids are also found in space, have
hypothesized that DNA actually came from space–an increasingly popular theory
known as “Panspermia.”
Fascinatingly, Fritz Albert
Popp's research in biophotons describes the dying process of cells as virtually
identical to that of stars. Just before dying, cells transform into “supernovas”
as the light they emit increases in intensity a thousand times before being
suddenly extinguished. On a related note, and just as extraordinarily, Galactic
Center, our point of origin, is located in the constellation Ophiuchus, “the
serpent bearer,” an obvious reference to the spiraling, serpentine helixes of
DNA. Here, in ancient symbolism, we find a direct link between the creational
torsion waves emitted by Galactic Center and the DNA molecule to which, by all
indications, they give rise.
The Vedics were well aware
of such an “ener-genetic” connection between Galactic Center and DNA as well as
of the many cycles of time ending around 2012 apocalypse, employing the
term somvarta to describe the intelligent waves of Core energy responsible for
the spontaneous evolution of species. The DNA molecule is minutely structured
on phi or the Golden Mean, measuring 34 x 21 angstroms for each full helical
spiral. Shift in human consciousness as the excess of the 2012 apocalypse...
