Yes, but how is this machinery working?

Unknown Energy Surges Continue to Hit Planet
by Sorcha Faal - Global Research


Editor’s Note: The following report was released barely a few days before the Tsunami which swept South and Southeast Asia on December 26.

What is important in this report is that it points to a pattern of major climatic disruptions. In fact several disruptive climatic events took place within the months preceding the dramatic events of December 26.

On December 1, 2004 barely reported in the media, in one of "the largest weather events in recorded human history, 86,800 square miles of China was shrouded in fog, bringing transportation systems (especially air travel) to a virtual standstill throughout the country."

December 22, 2004

An increasingly panicked global effort is now underway by the world's top scientists to understand an unprecedented series of 'blasts', energy surges, which the planet has been taking from an as yet unknown source which has been bombarding Antarctica with cosmic rays and disrupting Northern Hemisphere weather systems on a global scale.

The first of these cosmic ray blasts occurred nearly 5 years ago and have been increasing in their frequency and intensity since the end of November. The once normally darkened skies of the Northern Hemisphere's Arctic regions are now in twilight due to these blasts. Wayne Davidson, from the Canadian Government's weather station at Resolute Bay, located in the Arctic Circle, says about this mysterious lighting, "The entire horizon is raised like magic, like the hand of God is bringing it up."

On December 1, 2004 the largest recorded blast sent not only shockwaves through the world scientific community but also through the Northern Hemisphere resulting in one of the largest weather events in recorded human history when 86,800 square miles of China was shrouded in fog, bringing transportation systems (especially air travel) to a virtual standstill throughout the country.

As reported by the BBC in this article from October, 2002, "German scientists have found a significant piece of evidence linking cosmic rays to climate change. They have detected charged particle clusters in the lower atmosphere that were probably caused by the space radiation. They say the clusters can lead to the condensed nuclei which form into dense clouds."

These German scientists from the Max Planck Institute of Nuclear Physics in Heidelberg go on to say that their measurements "have for the first time detected in the upper troposphere large positive ions with mass numbers up to 2500", and "Our observations provide strong evidence for the ion-mediated formation and growth of aerosol particles in the upper troposphere."

What they hadn't expected to happen though has been the large- scale occurrences of this over the past few weeks, to include China on December 2nd and 14th and then India on the 21st, which is due to both China's and India's reliance on fossil fuels and the continuing degradation of their air quality.

The effects of these blasts have also been felt throughout the rest of the Northern Hemisphere resulting in such freak occurrences as, hurricane force winds in Paris , Germany, Canada, Russia, England and the United States on an almost simultaneous basis. Accompanying these hurricane force winter winds have been the massive cold fronts following them dropping normal winter lows to record lows throughout the entire Northern Hemisphere.

Though not yet at a point to acknowledge this publicly, some of the world's top scientists are beginning to see an astrophysical correlation between these cosmic ray blasts to our planet and an ever-increasing number of global events relating to atmospheric explosions of inbound meteors, such as those in Indonesia, where a meteorite was picked up by their Air Forces radar, China, where a meteorite explosion turned 'night into day' and Washington D.C. where one police official stated, "It looked like a ball of fire falling out of the sky."

The world's top scientists have begun coordinating with Dr. Eun-Suk Seo from the United States University of Maryland, and her team, in a 'search' for answers to the origin of these cosmic ray blasts directed from an unknown origin in space towards the South Pole and disrupting our global weather systems.



Under Dr. Eun-Suk Seo's and her international team's direction NASA launched a stratospheric balloon on December 20th from Antarctica's McMurdo base and have stated,

"The balloon, following circulation of winds high, will sail around the ice continent for about three weeks. During this time, data of great scientific interest will be gathered. These data concern flows of charged particles of highest energy (cosmic rays) coming from Space."

But as one Russian scientist said to us, and who wished to remain anonymous,

"Why this game? We all know what's happening"

--an apparent reference to the fact though these events are well known to both world governments and the scientific establishments they are beyond the understanding of the general public at large.

Whatever the end results these experiments reveal for these scientists, it remains an undisputed fact that this world of ours is facing a type of global cataclysmic event buried in our common geological past, and maybe, as some social scientists report, in our common ancestral memory also.

First of all I do NOT root for the LTTE, they are murderers, far gone ont he path of adharma.

Bill, remember, I did say that it is perfectly correct and normal to grieve. my point is that we must not lose our peace of mind over it. That mental equilibrium has to be maintained at all times in life, this quality of sama is one of the 6 qualities that a seeker has to develop.

Of course it is our duty to serve those in distress. However in order to do so effectively, we must again maintain our balance emotionally. It does not do to get grief ridden and go to pieces at such a time.

In order to maintain this equipoise it is helpful to keep in mind such logic as I have outlined, as it makes it easier to deal with the emotions.

And one last thing:

You suggest that the world is imperfect. I completely disagree. Any imperfections we may see are because of our failure to view the larger picture. After all, this world was created by God. To say the world is imperfect is to say God is imperfect. Such a statement would contradict the very concept of God as being the ultimate perfect totality. This is not to say that we must not make an effort to alleviate the suffering of those around us. Their suffering is just as much part of the cosmic perfection as our service to them.

 

i fink they r rele kl!!
but paganism is da oldest.
but i fink hinduism is under da pagan umbrella

 

so in a way it is

 

The world is imperfect in the sense that it does not manifest perfectly the Divine energy behind its existence. For the Divine can be no limitation, no suffering, no ignorance or death. Yet we patently see all these things surrounding us in this world. We can say 'it is an illusion - one simply has to get out of it'. In a sense, that is the view of a lot of Indian philosophy over the ages ( although perhaps you'll disagree over that).
Or we can see this world as one of transition, a world in the process of creation, of a creative evolution. This includes us - Sri Aurobindo said "man is a transitional being" - Sri A's great illumination was of the coming of a higher Divine life here on earth, a new and higher consciousness, and a transformation of wordly existence into a perfect manifestation of the Infinite Godhead from which all has sprung. A completion of a Divine creative movement.

An idea has just come to mind so let me put it like this. We know that once, dinosaurs roamed the earth for millions of years. Much later on, after they'd been wiped out, mankind appeared. So - was this a world of perfection in the days of the dinosaurs? If so, why change it? Why bring in this complex human mental being ? And are we the end? Will we eventually evolve into something else completely - perhaps as far above us as we seem to be above the dinosaurs.

Om Shanti.

Dear Chief Cowpie,

Thanks for another interesting if worrying post.

Maybe this current civilization will be wiped out, or forced to radically change.

Perhaps someone has a different plan for the earth than capitalist imperialism.

In the longer run, things may well work out, but the immediate period we face, and our children and grandchildren will face looks very uncertain. All the more reason to turn to the Divine - to a higher consciousness. Then perhaps we can see how light can come even from the darkness.

If we want a new age of love and light here on earth (hippie dreams again) then all these negative things have to go. Perhaps nature will force such a change. If these disasters we are now witnessing can do any good at all, it can surely be to make us, who live on wake up to the reality of life on this planet at this critical time. To the difficulties, and to the fantastic potential that also exists.

The tsunami didn't stop to ask if those it swept away were Hindu, Muslim, Buddhist, American, Jew or Brit - much less if they were personalists or impersonalists! can't people see how petty and stupid all these foolish divisions are in the glaring aftermath of this tragedy? Let's hope and pray that they can.

Jai Sri Rahde!

Love & peace.

 

I say it is more perfect now than in the dinosaur days because the human consciousness is so much higher and has the potential of union with God. To the extent that we realize that identity, you could say we are fulfilling the cosmic purpose.

I also agree that the manifest world is relativistic in nature, but that's not to say that it is unreal. Our consciouness of it may be unreal, but that's another thing.

I don't think that this stage of terrestial evolution equates in any way with Divine perfection, except in the rare cases of a few great Avatars and saints who embody it to some extent.

Bhaskar, I feel that all we can do is work through our sadhana and surrender to move closer to perfection ourselves. And by that, I mean outer action as well as meditation, japa, study etc.

I'm actually glad we have some grounds for - not dispute, certainly - but discussion. If everyone agrees on every point, things can get a bit stale.

Love & peace.

 

I agree.

“Let us pray in our hearts for a League of Souls and a United World. Though we may seem divided by race, creed, color, class, and political prejudices, still, as children of the one God we are able in our souls to feel brotherhood and world unity. May we work for the creation of a United World in which every nation will be a useful part, guided by God through man’s enlightened conscience. In our hearts we can all learn to be free from hate and selfishness. Let us pray for harmony among the nations, that they march hand in hand through the gate of a fair new civilization." —Paramahansa Yogananda

Also...I recieved this in an e-mail...apparently the ISKCON of Sri Lanka is handing out prasadam as a form of relief...so if you would like to donate money to make the food...send it to...

More on the tsunami

Historic town in India saved by sea wall

By CHRIS TOMLINSON

Associated Press

PONDICHERRY, India - Religious devotees believe a divine force saved thisport city from last week's tsunami, but the vendors who sell fruit andsnacks next to the sea say it really was France. During the city's nearly three centuries as a French colonial enclave,French engineers built and maintained a massive, stone sea wall that keptPondicherry's historic center dry even though tsunami waves drove water24feet above the normal high-tide mark. "The water rose quickly, up to the main road," said M. Keshavan,a23-year-old who sells mangos and crispy snacks to tourists visiting thewall. He pointed to a two-foot retaining wall next to the road that runsalong the top of the sea wall: "It stopped there." The Pondicherry district recorded some 600 deaths from the huge waves thatstruck India's southeastern coast after a mammoth earthquake off Indonesia,but most of those killed were fishermen who lived in villages beyond theman-made barrier.
France had hoped to use Pondicherry as the base for an expanded empireinIndia, but it was the British who won the fight and ended up controllingmore than 90 percent of the peninsula. The French were left withPondicherry, which they ruled until 1956, seven years after Britain gavetherest of India independence. The French influence, seen in the graceful architecture on streets withnames like Rue Dumas, makes this city of 300,000 unique in India. Police sport red kepis, the round caps worn by Parisian cops and Frenchsoldiers. French is still taught in schools, and French expatriates ownhomes and run businesses in the French Quarter. Paris even financed a giant,bronze statue of the father of India's independence movement, MohandasK.Gandhi, which stands at the center of the sea wall.
The barrier was initially completed in 1735. Over the years, the Frenchcontinued to fortify the wall, piling huge boulders along its 1.25-milelength to stop erosion by the waves pounding the harbor. At its height, the barrier running along the water's edge reaches about27feet above sea level. The boulders, some weighing up to a ton, are weatheredblack and brown. On Dec. 26, when towering waves crashed against India's southern coast,thewall held. Keshavan said the water then receded from the harbor to where the seabeddrops off into deep water - about 650 feet out from the wall. "There was nothing but wet sand. People ran out to pick up the fishthatwere left behind, but the police ordered them to come back," he said. The ocean surged into the harbor and retreated two more times before theseafinally returned to normal, he said. "Pondicherry was very safe because of the rock barrier," saidS.Subramanian, manager of the Tourist Information Bureau, which has its officeon the road overlooking the ocean. He said only the fishing villages andbeach resorts on either side of the barrier were damaged. Every year the sea wall is inspected. Whenever gaps appear, or the stonessink into the sand, the government adds more boulders to keep it strong,hesaid. The deep-water harbor itself also helped. The steep drop-off forms anunderwater wall that breaks up the power of incoming waves.
In neighboring Bangladesh, which had only two deaths from the tsunami,thereis a similar natural barrier. Billions of tons of sediment carried intothesea by the country's numerous rivers slowed the sea surges before theyhitthe coast.
Not everyone believes the wall was responsible for keeping the city safe. At a religious retreat established in the French Quarter in 1926 by Indianguru Sri Aurobindo, an anti-colonial revolutionary turned scholar and holyman, devotees attributed the city's salvation to Aurobindo and hisFrench-born partner, whom they call "The Mother." "I am not sure you will believe this, but it was The Mother who protected the city," said S. Ramanathan, an elderly devotee who lives and works in the ashram. "I stay in a very protected place, so we are not affected by the tsunami at all."
Keshavan, the vendor, answers that there was nothing supernatural aboutPondicherry's escape. "It was this wall," he said, standing confidently on top of thebarrier aswaves splashed below. © 2005 AP Wire and wire service sources. All Rights Reserved. http://www.mercurynews.com

 

Amen to that too!

Some "Time Tested Beauty Tips" from Audrey Hepburn

For attractive lips,
Speak words of kindness.
For lovely eyes,
Seek out the good in people.
For a lovely figure,
Share your food with the hungry.
For beautiful hair,
Let a child run his or her fingers through it once a day.
For poise,
Walk with the knowledge that you'll never walk alone.
People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed,
revived, reclaimed and redeemed.
Never throw out anybody.
Remember, if you ever need a helping hand,
you'll find one at the end of your arm.
As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands,
one for helping yourself, and one for helping others.
The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears,
The figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair.
The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes,
Because that is the doorway to her heart.
The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole,
But true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul.
It is the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that
she shows, and the beauty of a woman with passing
years only grows!

 

Peace

Happy Birthday Nicole

Thank you Nicole.

avatIrNe gauracandre vistIrne prema sAgare/

The advent of Gauracandra (moon) braught about a huge tidal wave in the ocean of love, wonderfully depositing heaps of jewels all around. He is certainly the most pitiable wretch who will not collect up those jewels.

namascaitanya candrAya koti candrAnana tvise/
premAnandAbdhi candrAya cAru candrAmsu hAsine//

I bow in salutation to the moon-like Caitanya, whose countenance as a million moons doth shine; who, like the moon from the ocean of love's ecstacy churned, sheds the soothing moon beams of his beautious smile.

 

The Appearance of Radha-kunda When the inhabitants of Vrindavana heard that Krishna had killed the terrible Aristasura demon (who appeared in the shape of a bull) they all rushed to the spot in a jubilant mood. Srimati Radharani and Her girlfriends also arrived at the scene and upon hearing that Krishna had killed a bull, became very upset and refused to associate with Him. Krishna pleaded with Radharani that since Aristasura was actually a demon in the disguise of a bull, there was no sin in killing him. Radharani informed Her beloved Syamasundara that in order to purify Himself from cow-killing, He would have to take His bath in all the holy places of the universe and then only would She associate with Him again. Krishna agreed to Radharani’s proposal, but instead of taking the trouble of traveling to all the holy places in the universe to take bath, Krishna informed Her that He would instead call all the holy places in the universe to Vrindavana. Striking His heel into the ground, Krishna made a very large impression and then called all the holy places of the universe to pour their sacred waters in to the newly-made kunda.

One by one all the holy places arrived in their personified forms. Offering their prayers to Krishna they all poured their waters into the kunda and filled it up. Just to please Radharani, Krishna took His bath in the newly formed kunda that then became celebrated as Syama-kunda.

Exhibiting transcendental arrogance in having created such a beautiful pond, filled with the sacred waters of all the holy places in the universe, Krishna began teasing Radharani and the gopis. He said that because they were only simple village girls they must have never performed any religious duties in this world for the pleasure of the demigods. Krishna also informed them that because they sided with the demon Aristasura, in the form of a bull, they would have to share the sin of cow-killing, and must also take bath to purify themselves.

Feeling the pinch of Krishna’s joking words, Radharani suddenly exhibited Her transcendental anger and seeing a deep impression of Aristasura’s hoof print nearby, broke one of Her bangles and using it as a digging instrument, started to dig in the soft earth. Upon seeing this, the gopis also broke their bangles and started digging. Within a short time a large kunda had been created right next to Syama-kunda.

Krishna was amazed to see the large pond that Radharani and the gopis had created and made an offer to Radharani that the sacred waters from His kunda could also fill Hers. Radharani flatly refused Krishna’s offer, saying that the waters of Syama-kunda were now contaminated due to the sin of cow-killing. She further said that Her many girlfriends would form a line and bring pure waters of the Manasi-ganga in golden pots to fill her kunda.

Upon hearing the words of Srimati Radharani, the holy places personified approached Her with folded hands and while chanting beautiful prayers in glorification, humbly asked Her to grant them a boon. Radharani inquired what kind of boon they desired. The holy places personified informed Her that their lives could only be successful if they were allowed to pour their sacred waters into Her kunda also. Being ever compassionate to all those who sincerely approach Her, Radharani while glancing at Syamasundara through the corners of Her eyes, happily agreed to their proposal. In a joyous mood the holy places personified forcibly broke through the banks of Syama-kunda and poured their sacred waters into Radha-kunda.

Krishna then immediately took bath in Radha-kunda and declared that henceforth, anyone who with firm faith took a bath on that day in Radha-kunda, would achieve the same ecstatic love that Radharani had for Him. Radharani and Her girlfriends then took bath in Syama-kunda. Radharani declared that anyone who takes bath in Syama-kunda would achieve the same ecstatic love that Krishna has for Her.



This pastime occurred at 11:45 pm on the eighth day of the waning moon in the auspicious month of Kartika. Each year on this day, thousands of devotees flock to Radha-kunda for the ardha-ratri-snana (midnight bath). First they bathe in Syama-kunda and then again in Radha-kunda. This festival, held on the appearance day of Radha-kunda is known as Bahulastami. Radha-kunda is the only place in the world where a holy bath is taken at midnight. top of page
