THE FIRST CONTACT
SURVEY ON Ea
2. They used cosmic OR energy in propelling their machines.
3. Their ‘blue lights’ were in agreement with the blue color characteristic of all visible OR functions, sky, protoplasm, Aurora, sunspots, the color of OR lumination in vacor tubes, etc.
4. The CORE MEN were obviously riding their space ships on the main OR energy streams in the Universe.
5. Just as space is not empty, light does not ‘come down to us from the stars and the sun’. It is an effect of lumination in the OR energy envelope of the planets. It is a local phenomenon.

Editors Note : This is an answer from a youtube user I got on a comment I wrote ,wich I would like to share with you.
We live inside the matrix cube as shadows cast upon Saturns walls. To escape the "great cycle of time" (black cube) inner enlighten must be found. "Sun/Christ" is that center which one cruxifies the ego. This opens the heart to the frequency of compassion and unfolds the cube (cross) causing a hyper jump(hyper cube). Compassion& Love (evoL) are like Sun&Saturn; Saturn is an emotion of self interest while Sun brings warmth to all without self interests. Center Sun/Christ Son (heart) is the gateway (hyper cube) out of Satan/Self.
-Saturn/Satan(black sun) the polarity of center(external super ego) and the limits of our physical dimension (Matix cube).
-All complex life is carbon based:
-6 protons -6 neutrons -6 electrons ( my idea to this, Bart thinks that Alster Crowley Realy ment this by saying he was the beast 666 )
666= In this situation wisdom is needed. Let the person who has insight figure out the number of the beast, because it is a human number. The beast's number is 666.-Revelations 13:18
-In the begining God was static. Looking to escape his loneliness he became drawn towards the mystery of the darkwaters. God laid with her desolving himself in her black sheets(dark matter). This union gave birth to the physical dimension of spacetime duality(cube);the birth of Atom/Atmen/Adam/men= individuality.
-Spacetime is the result of an electromagnetic cavitation (cymatics)in a body of darkmatter (waters of the deep). The electrical spark within the darkwaters created a spacial void. In the contained void energy oscillates creating geometric relations of energy (the three forces;electro magnetism-strong&weak-gravity) .
Energy can transform(hyper jump) out of Megatrons Cube.


-The ego is an instictive animal that is animated by electrical signals(spirit).Ascension(death&transcend) is only possible if the ego is over powered by awareness. This is achieved through morality&knowlegde(wisdom),this is how one developes a soul.The ego can only exsist in the physical world for it only has tools for the needs&wants of this world. If awareness is the developement of electrical systems(soul) it has no wants or needs of the physical prision's .Death&Pain are void in the unified field, only truth remains. If you are an egocentric person you will not transcend(evolve)because oneness can not be divided.
It's the inevitable play of cause and effect between polar positions.(good&bad;truth&ignorance;1's&0's) Eventually the equation will be balanced out and the remainder(that which does not fit) will be dropped off.
We are pre-exsisting information, the experience of time is the uploading of that information.
Time is a loop within a controlled system.
Time is a measurement of movement between individual objects.
Individual objects arises when singularity is divided into space.
If the divisions weren't contained within the box/matrix seperation
would perpetuate until unity was lost forever.
The universal mind uses the box to experiences infinit possiblities
and maintains control so not to delute into oblivion. The great works
resets when individuality reaches oblivion. Those that awaken in each
cycle are the process of reuniting or remembering.
Saturn is one of the key cogs in the gears of time. I do believe time manipulation takes place but I believe it's written into the system. We live in a box of time and space. Our program playsout the predetermined path until the great cycle turns the clock back to zero. This is not mans doing for men have no control of their own will let alone the timeline. The timeline is the great experiment that brings the few out of the many,seperates the ones from the zeros,cultivates souls to the great awakening of judgement.
THE GREAT CYCLE:

Many ancient religions and mythologies are stories of a astronomical events that occur every 13,000yrs. Within a cycle of 26,000yrs (which is the percessionary cycle of earths movement within the constellations) we go through the galactic plan (intersellar cloud) twice. The ancients tracked this cycle by using the 12 constellation or zodiac clock. Below is one example of this clock hidden in religious text. The cross of the zodiac is the 4corners of it's clock and in the bible they are called the 4beasts that surround Gods thrown/Sun.
V 7. "And the first beast was like a lion, and the second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle."
-Revelation 4:7
This throne is surrounded by 4beasts, lion/Leo, bull/Taurus, man/Aquarius, Eagle/scrorpio. The Eagle is the acended Egyptian scorpio. The Eagle is the same Eagle that has a snake in it's mouth. This snake is the constellation Ophiuchus that's inbetween Scorpio&Sagittarius, it's the 13 hidden zodiac(interstellar cloud).
A Breeze from the Stars
NASA spacecraft are monitoring an interstellar wind coming from the constellation Ophiuchus.

Inbetween Scorpio and Sagittarius is the serpent,this is the warning
that all religions give hidden within their texts. In astronomy the
serpent is the galactic spiral arm(ionized hydrogen cloud).
Below I have provided NASA documents to back my claims.
I can provide more info!
"In the direction of the SCORPIO-Centaurus OB association, a young cluster of very luminous stars located about 200 parsecs or so from the Sun, there is an abrupt change in the density of our Local Bubble at a distance of a few tens of light years suggesting that the observations are encountering an increased gas density, perhaps from the expanding shell of gas that has been energized by the Sco-Cen 'superbubble also called the `Loop I Bubble
hundred parsecs from the Sun and detected a pattern of emission that indicated a dense cloud located about 17-35 parsecs from the Sun towards the Galactic Center in SAGITTARIUS. In a 1983 Nature article ( vol 302, p. 806) Francesco Paresce proposed that the Local Fluff is the low density, ionized outer layers of this cloud, and that the SUN has just recently entered the outer regions of this dense cloud."
http://www.astronomycafe.net/qadir/q1372.html
We are entering this highly charged ionized cloud which is the cause of
climate change, earthquakes, increased volcanic activity, and major changes to the solar system.
The heliosphere that surrounds our solar system is entering the
cloud. The heliosphere is produced by our suns exhaust and magnetic
field.
What happens when these two fields begin to cross?
Earths magnetic field(magnetosphere) begins to develope holes. This has happened, it's a fact there is a huge hole in
the southern hemisphere and this is the real reason for barium
chemtrails spraying (Barium reduces radiation exposure).
They say our atmosphere is being compressed. This would be due to
the density of the cloud(it's like putting a balloon at the bottom
of a pool,it would shrink).
This compression would also take affect upon our sun heliosphere.
"Simulations over the past decade have shown that Jupiter and Saturn could drift around in the early solar system when gas was still present, and in some cases could move inward and then back outward to roughly their current locations."
http://www.space.com/11885-jupiter-migration-mars-size-solar-system.html
Saturn may have been very close to us at one time (allowing the ancients to see the hexagon),but then it was pushed outwards from center to it's current location.
It's said Zeus (Jupiter) dethroned his father Chronus (Saturn) and through him into Tartarus. NASA has said, if we were to enter a interstellar cloud the Heliosphere of the Sun would compress down to the orbit of Jupiter (Zeus) leaving Saturn (Chronus) outside the heliosphere in a area NASA has named Tartarus.
Every planet is undergoing extreme changes.
-interstellar medium;"If we ran into one, it would compress the Sun's magnetic field and allow more cosmic rays to penetrate the inner solar system, with unknown effects on climate and life."-NASA
http://science.nasa.gov/science-news/science-at-nasa/2003/06jan_bubble/
"Our Sun's explosive energy output forms an immense, complex magnetic fields structure. Hugely inflated by the solar wind, this colossal bubble of magnetism known as the heliosphere stretches far beyond the orbit of Pluto, from where it controls the entry of cosmic rays into the solar system. On its way through the Milky Way this extended atmosphere of the Sun affects all planetary bodies in the solar system. It is itself influenced by slowly changing interstellar conditions that in turn can affect Earth's habitability. In fact, the Sun's extended atmosphere drives some of the greatest changes in the near-Earth space environment affecting our magnetosphere, atmosphere, ionosphere, and potentially our climate."
http://science.nasa.gov/heliophysics/big-questions/what-are-the-fundamental-physical-processes-of-the-space-environment/
July 15, 2010: "NASA-funded researchers are monitoring a big event in our planet's atmosphere. High above Earth's surface where the atmosphere meets space, a rarefied layer of gas called "the thermosphere" recently collapsed and now is rebounding again."
"Important clues may be found in the way the thermosphere rebounds. Solar minimum is now coming to an end, EUV radiation is on the rise, and the thermosphere is puffing up again. Exactly how the recovery proceeds could unravel the contributions of solar vs. terrestrial sources."
http://science.nasa.gov/science-news/science-at-nasa/2010/15jul_thermosphere/
-jupiter lost it's large brown band
- Saturn is having lighting storms like never seeing,and it's icy
moons are showing signs of melting.
- uranius and Neptune are both developing storms never seen
- Pluto is even showing signs of melting(the cloud is
6,000-100,000kelvins..Wow)!
- Mars caps are melting
- Mercury is developing a stronger magnetic field.
- Venus has become volanic and it too has developed lighting.NASA
once believed lighting to be impossible on Venus.
- The sun had a long slumber, longer than any solar min. recorded and it's
solar max promises to put on a hell of a show.
The cloud has introduce a large amount of energy into the solar
system while putting pressure on it and heating the planets up.
All these changes are processes of reboot and hyper jumping. A galaxy is like a computer, the source of information comes from galactic center and is released as galactic bursts. The burst creates a superwave of energy(information), as it passed through star system the stars act as relays for the information by absorbing the energy. That energy is then shared with each stars companions through the filiment portal that connect them.
The information then rewrites DNA or wipes it out.Evolution jumps not crawl,that's why we can never find missing links between fossiles of connective species.
Those who are making the hyper jump will face a new higher dimension of duality while those left behind will either die and reboot into the cycle and or merge with the new breed of humanity.
I believe both positive and negative are symbiotic in spacetime.
Ive as heard our thought manifest reality so if we all believe it will come true it will.
I believe we manifest reality on a personal level and we can control our surrounding subgroups but not the big picture. I believe the big picture is hardwired into the story we wrote for our self. I also believe date naming like 12/21/2012 has been pushed worldwide so when shit doesn't happen on that day many will say "see it was all BS". This will cause the truth to fade from those who were on the path to hyper jumping, trapping them in this dimension.

Hunting The Hidden Dimension (fractals)
2011 07 07
Mysteriously beautiful fractals are shaking up the world of mathematics and deepening our understanding of nature.
A fractal is "a rough or fragmented geometric shape that can be split into parts, each of which is (at least approximately) a reduced-size copy of the whole," a property called self-similarity.
Fractals: they’re famously found in nature and artists have created some incredible renderings as well. Fractals are purely a wonder – too irregular for Euclidean geometry; iterative and recursive and seemingly infinite. They turn up in food and germs, plants and animals, mountains and water and sky.
Video from: video.google.com
The Pineal Gland & Third Eye: Secrets previously unspoken of
The Third Eye Chakra, the energetic center located and connected directly with the physical Pineal Gland, is something most people have heard of and are somewhat familiar with. Specially in todays spiritual movements, new age scene, and the search for "self" this is somethnig that constantly is spoken about and always comes up in teachings about psychic abilities, meditation, spiritual practices and so on.
Commonly people are told one part of the story only. In fact, I do not believe anyone before me has ever told the other part of the story.
The common story is the usual one, that the Third Eye is an important chakra to "activate" to reach spiritual insights and experiences, and that stimulus of the Pineal Gland can be one way to reach this, such as from the use of psychedelic substances or other physical stimuli, but of course more commonly and practically through meditation and energy work.
While that is true, it is only that half part of the truth regarding what the Pineal Gland and Third Eye REALLY is, and WHY it is existing in our physical bodies at all, connecting with those spiritual realms and other aspects of self.
Now this will shock some, and bring others to an "a-ha!" experience, while yet some will laugh it off and ridicule it, and others think I am just making things up.
But what I will say next is however the truth as far as I have come to observe and understand, and you may believe of that what you want.
The Pineal Gland is in fact part of the "Trap System" which I have spoken exstensively on previously. I will not detail the Trap System itself here as I have done so before and you can easily find it by searching around.
It is part of this Trap System, in the way that it is directly implemented into our physical bodies as a control mechanism. This is done for us to be at a level that is possible to influence from a spiritual plane, and through psychic means. Without the Pineal Gland and Third Eye, we would be completely unable to have spiritual experiences, and also completely unable to be mentally controlled through spiritual means - psychic forces, external energies, astral powers and so on.
So by having implemented the Pineal Gland into the Human Bodies, those whom we can call the ones "In Control" are able to achieve great control and influence upon each and every person through methods that would not otherwise be possible. I have spoken of External Influences before, and this is how such External Influences can reach us mentally, spiritually, psychologically and emotionally.
The Pineal Gland and Third Eye serves as the window TO the Soul, not FROM the Soul, in the sense that is have been created directly to influence us and NOT to let us have spiritual experiences or develop ourselves. The whole spiritual aspect of the Pineal Gland and Third Eye Chakra is simply a "flaw" or "side-effect", which do indeed let us gain greater understanding and spiritual insights, but however that is not the purpose behind it.
Strongly related, while writing about this specific topic, is the truth behind Hypnosis. The reason people can be hypnotized at all is simply because of its great way to manipulate and control and brain wash people. This implemented mental system also has its flaws that can make it used for the opposite and more positive, just as the case with the Third Eye.
As far as whom created the Human Bodies, and why, that too have been discussed by me in details before, mainly in my Trap System articles and posts around the Web.
To summarize very quickly, the Human Body was created for a way to control the Soul that inhabits it, and imprison that Soul in the physical world, extremely limited and far away from its True Self, with minimum understanding and great difficulties in "evolving" or "developing" in any way. Reincarnation serves as a part of the Trap System to keep people in those physical limited bodies, and larger parts of the Spiritual Realms or Astral Planes are "illusionary" in the sense that they too serve as a Trap to keep people on lower levels of Existence until they are, for lack of better words, "sucked back into the womb and reborn imprisoned on this filthy Earth".
With that, I will leave you to contemplate on that and research my previous material, and see for yourself what you may feel and find out.

'Super' full moon on March 19th
Thursday, 17 March 2011 11:56 | | | |
Mark your calendar. On March 19th, a full Moon of rare size and beauty will rise in the east at sunset. It's a super "perigee moon"--the biggest in almost 20 years.
"The last full Moon so big and close to Earth occurred in March of 1993," says Geoff Chester of the US Naval Observatory in Washington DC. "I'd say it's worth a look."
Full Moons vary in size because of the oval shape of the Moon's orbit. It is an ellipse with one side (perigee) about 50,000 km closer to Earth than the other (apogee). Nearby perigee moons are about 14% bigger and 30% brighter than lesser moons that occur on the apogee side of the Moon's orbit.
"The full Moon of March 19th occurs less than one hour away from perigee--a near-perfect coincidence1that happens only 18 years or so," adds Chester.
A perigee full Moon brings with it extra-high "perigean tides," but this is nothing to worry about, according to NOAA. In most places, lunar gravity at perigee pulls tide waters only a few centimeters (an inch or so) higher than usual. Local geography can amplify the effect to about 15 centimeters (six inches)--not exactly a great flood.
Indeed, contrary to some reports circulating the Internet, perigee Moons do not trigger natural disasters. The "super moon" of March 1983, for instance, passed without incident. And an almost-super Moon in Dec. 2008 also proved harmless.
Okay, the Moon is 14% bigger than usual, but can you really tell the difference? It's tricky. There are no rulers floating in the sky to measure lunar diameters. Hanging high overhead with no reference points to provide a sense of scale, one full Moon can seem much like any other.
The best time to look is when the Moon is near the horizon. That is when illusion mixes with reality to produce a truly stunning view. For reasons not fully understood by astronomers or psychologists, low-hanging Moons look unnaturally large when they beam through trees, buildings and other foreground objects. On March 19th, why not let the "Moon illusion" amplify a full Moon that's extra-big to begin with? The swollen orb rising in the east at sunset may seem so nearby, you can almost reach out and touch it.
Don't bother. Even a super perigee Moon is still 356,577 km away. That is, it turns out, a distance of rare beauty.

The Armangeddon Script


Editors Note: First of all I want to state that the name "Armangeddon script" is based on the biblical meaning of Armangeddon. I personally believe Armangeddon could also mean "the great revealing". But lets stay with "traditional" meaning of the word. The "Overlords" have many weapons in there arsenal. They can start WWIII on manny different levels. (for example Bomb Iran)For those who do not know Alber Pike I would recommend to look at his Book "Morals and Dogmas". In this book the late General Alber Pike, who was the Grand Master of the Scottisch rite of Freemasonry, outlined his plan to bring about a New World Order. He wrote that it will take 3 world wars to accomplish this goal. Now that we are on the brink of WWIII , I truly hope mankind will wake up bevore it is to late. We do not have to go down this road. We all can say " STOP TILL HERE AND NO FURTHER". Of course it has always been the same Order the Old World Order that are running things on earth since the last "reset" (the Great Flood). There may be different factions, some times there may be even some in- fights. But the "Overlords" share the same endgoal, that is to keep us trapped within the "matrix" ( In my opinion the Physical Univers or even Universes. The Universes made up out of Matter with Mass.) So indeed the Deception goes way beyond our Planet. The way I see it is that this is al part of the script.....really like a movie sript... and mankind merely actors.
My world is a world without death, a world without disease, a world without hunger, a world without hate, a world without money, a world of uncondittional love, a world where everybody is equal and there is no hierarchy. We can build this world together. WE ARE THE CREATOR.
Do not wait for a Rapture, a Messias or ET saviors they are part of the script. Remember who you are and stop being a victim. United we stand divided we fall.
Much love and awareness to all and lets focus on the change we want to see.

10 Things You Should Know About Sound

2010 10 12
From: cnn.com
Most of us have become so used to suppressing noise that we don't think much about what we're hearing, or about how we listen. Yet our well-being is now being seriously damaged by modern sound. Here are 10 things about sound and health that you may not know:
1.) You are a chord. This is obvious from physics, though it's admittedly somewhat metaphorical to call the combined rhythms and vibrations within a human being a chord, which we usually understand to be an aesthetically pleasant audible collection of tones. But "the fundamental characteristic of nature is periodic functioning in frequency, or musical pitch," according to C.T. Eagle. Matter is vibrating energy; therefore, we are a collection of vibrations of many kinds, which can be considered a chord.
2.) One definition of health may be that that chord is in complete harmony. The World Health Organization defines health as "a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity" which opens at least three dimensions to the concept. On a philosophical level, Plato, Socrates, Pythagoras and Confucius all wrote at length about the relationship between harmony, music and health (both social and physical). Here's Socrates: "Rhythm and harmony find their way into the inward places of the soul, on which they mightily fasten, imparting grace, and making the soul of him who is rightly educated graceful, or of him who is ill-educated ungraceful."
3.) We see one octave; we hear ten. An octave is a doubling in frequency. The visual spectrum in frequency terms is 400-790 THz, so it's just under one octave. Humans with great hearing can hear from 20 Hz to 20 KHz, which is ten octaves.
4.) We adopt listening positions. Listening positions are a useful set of perspectives that can help people to be more conscious and effective in communication -- because expert listening can be just as powerful as speaking. For example, men typically adopt a reductive listening position, listening for something, often a point or solution.
Women, by contrast, typically adopt an expansive listening position, enjoying the journey, going with the flow. When unconscious, this mismatch causes a lot of arguments.
Other listening positions include judgmental (or critical), active (or reflective), passive (or meditative) and so on. Some are well known and widely used; for example, active listening is trained into many therapists, counselors and educators.
5.) Noise harms and even kills. There is now wealth of evidence about the harmful effect of noise, and yet most people still consider noise a local matter, not the major global issue it has become.
According to a 1999 U.S. Census report, Americans named noise as the number one problem in neighborhoods. Of the households surveyed, 11.3 percent stated that street or traffic noise was bothersome, and 4.4 percent said it was so bad that they wanted to move. More Americans are bothered by noise than by crime, odors and other problems listed under "other bothersome conditions."
TED.com: Music is medicine, music is sanity
The European Union says: "Around 20% of the Union's population or close on 80 million people suffer from noise levels that scientists and health experts consider to be unacceptable, where most people become annoyed, where sleep is disturbed and where adverse health effects are to be feared. An additional 170 million citizens are living in so-called 'grey areas' where the noise levels are such to cause serious annoyance during the daytime."
The World Health Organization says: "Traffic noise alone is harming the health of almost every third person in the WHO European Region. One in five Europeans is regularly exposed to sound levels at night that could significantly damage health."
The WHO is also the source for the startling statistic about noise killing 200,000 people a year. Its findings (LARES report) estimate that 3 percent of deaths from ischemic heart disease result from long-term exposure to noise. With 7 million deaths a year globally, that means 210,000 people are dying of noise every year.
TED.com: Jose Abreu on kids transformed by music
The cost of noise to society is astronomical. The EU again: "Present economic estimates of the annual damage in the EU due to environmental noise range from EUR 13 billion to 38 billion. Elements that contribute are a reduction of housing prices, medical costs, reduced possibilities of land use and cost of lost labour days." (Future Noise Policy European Commission Green Paper 1996).
Then there is the effect of noise on social behavior. The U.S. report "Noise and its effects" (Administrative Conference of the United States, Alice Suter, 1991) says: "Even moderate noise levels can increase anxiety, decrease the incidence of helping behavior, and increase the risk of hostile behavior in experimental subjects. These effects may, to some extent, help explain the "dehumanization" of today's urban environment."
Perhaps Confucius and Socrates have a point.
6.) Schizophonia is unhealthy. "Schizophonia" describes a state where what you hear and what you see are unrelated. The word was coined by the great Canadian audiologist Murray Schafer and was intended to communicate unhealthiness. Schafer explains: "I coined the term schizophonia intending it to be a nervous word. Related to schizophrenia, I wanted it to convey the same sense of aberration and drama."
My assertion that continual schizophonia is unhealthy is a hypothesis that science could and should test, both at personal and also a social level. You have only to consider the bizarre jollity of train carriages now -- full of lively conversation but none of it with anyone else in the carriage -- to entertain the possibility that this is somehow unnatural. Old-style silence at least had the virtue of being an honest lack of connection with those around us. Now we ignore our neighbors, merrily discussing intimate details of our lives as if the people around us simply don't exist. Surely this is not a positive social phenomenon.
7. Compressed music makes you tired. However clever the technology and the psychoacoustic algorithms applied, there are many issues with data compression of music, as discussed in this excellent article by Robert Harley back in 1991. My assertion that listening to highly compressed music makes people tired and irritable is based on personal and anecdotal experience - again it's one that I hope will be tested by researchers.
8. Headphone abuse is creating deaf kids. Over 19 percent of American 12 to 19 years old exhibited some hearing loss in 2005-2006, an increase of almost 5 percent since 1988-94 (according to a study in the Journal of the American Medical Association by Josef Shargorodsky et al, reported with comments from the researchers here). One university study found that 61 percent of freshmen showed hearing loss (Leeds 2001).
Many audiologists use the rule of thumb that your headphones are too loud if you can't hear someone talking loudly to you. For example, Robert Fifer, an associate professor of audiology and speech pathology at the University of Miami Leonard M. Miller School of Medicine, says: "If you can still hear what people are saying around you, you are at a safe level. If the volume is turned so loudly that you can no longer hear conversation around you, or if someone has to shout at you at a distance of about 2 or 3 feet to get your attention, then you are up in the hazardous noise range."
TED.com: Evelyn Glennie shows how to listen
9. Natural sound and silence are good for you. These assertions seem to be uncontroversial. Perhaps they resonate with everyone's experience or instinct.
10. Sound can heal. Both music therapy and sound therapy can be categorized as "sound healing." Music therapy (the use of music to improve health) is a well-established form of treatment in the context of mainstream medicine for many conditions, including dementia and autism.
Less mainstream, though intellectually no more difficult to accept, is sound therapy: the use of tones or sounds to improve health through entrainment (affecting one oscillator with a stronger one). This is long-established: shamanic and community chant and the use of various resonators like bells and gongs, date back thousands of years and are still in use in many cultures around the world.
Just because something is pre-Enlightenment and not done in hospitals doesn't mean that it's new-age BS. Doubtless there are charlatans offering snake oil (as in many fields), but I suspect there is also much to learn, and just as herbal medicine gave rise to many of the drugs we use today, I suspect there are rich resources and fascinating insights to be gleaned when science starts to unpack the traditions of sound healing.
I hope these thoughts make a contribution to raising awareness of sound and its effects on health. I welcome your reaction, and I will check this forum and respond.
