2012 DECEMBER: WARNING ON THE UPCOMING 'MONSTROUS' SOLAR STORM EVENT

There has been a lot of hype about our world ending on 21st December 2012 because they say the Mayan calendar will end its cycle on that day, which literally means the end of our existence. Some people believe that a planet (Nibiru or Planet X) will pass by earth, so near that it will affect our planet’s gravitational field which may cause polar shifts consequently resulting catastrophic events including 8-mile-height floods wiping everything out. However, there have been a lot of debates about this, one side disproving the other. But one thing is for sure, a huge solar storm is on its way which will affect every electronic device including GPS, power grids, telecommunication satellites, mobile phones, computers, hospital equipment, among other things.

The huge solar storm will happen when the sun starts its new solar cycle which always begins with a high latitude, reversed polarity sunspot. In December 2007, according to United States National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the new solar cycle (24) will be big and intense peaking in 2011 or 2012.[1]

In June 8, 2010, Washington DC held a meeting to make preparations for such event. According to Richard Fisher, head of NASA’s Heliophysics Division, "The sun is waking up from a deep slumber, and in the next few years we expect to see much higher levels of solar activity. At the same time, our technological society has developed an unprecedented sensitivity to solar storms.”

The National Academy of Sciences framed the problem few years ago in a landmark report entitled "Severe Space Weather Events—Societal and Economic Impacts." It noted how people of the 21st-century rely on high-tech systems for the basics of daily life. Smart power grids, GPS navigation, air travel, financial services and emergency radio communications can all be knocked out by intense solar activity. A century-class solar storm, the Academy warned, could cause twenty times more economic damage than Hurricane Katrina.[2]

Just recently, Dr. Michio Kaku, theoretical physicist, has reiterated on live television on how unprepared we are and the dangers of the ‘monster tsunami from the sun’ which will happen soon. You can view the Fox News segment from this link.

There has been not much commotion about the upcoming event which I would understand because it will literally cause panic to everyone. Imagine the (economic) effects even if the solar storm has not come yet. However, all the information I have gathered here are from reliable sources, including that from NASA. So, I guess we can not just ignore this. By the way, just come to think of it. Why would our governments invest in a global seed bank (Svalbard Global Seed Vault)? Are they preparing for something big? They say that ‘the seed vault is an attempt to provide insurance against the loss of seeds in genebanks, as well as a refuge for seeds in the case of large-scale regional or global crises.’[3] 

Interestingly enough, a Mayan elder on youtube talked about the ‘end of cycle’ which happens on the 21 December 2012. He said that something will change in the sun during that time and a new cycle begins. This information has been traditionally passed down from one generation to the other, but seems to coincide with what NASA has been talking about or discovered. Coincidence? You be the judge. You can view the video from this link.

As one newscaster said, this might just be another Y2K event when people invested so much but actually didn’t do any harm. Let us just hope that it is. But it is better to be prepared than sorry.

Why so much suffering?

It always gives me the goose bumps every time I read Jane Roberts’ various Seth Materials. I just recently discovered ‘Seth’ yet it ‘scares’ me that we share the same thoughts and beliefs. And I even wonder where I got these ideas from. But I admit, after reading some of Jane/Seth’s books, it helped me widen my perspective about our ‘consciousness’. It made me re-member better.

One interesting discourse was about the state of the world in general. Jane and her husband, Rob, discussed that “What real sense or purpose is behind it all? Granted some part of us knows what we’re doing, still we seem hell-bent on destroying the planet, if not through war, then pollution.”

The following text is lifted from Jane Robert’s Seth Material, Chapter 20. No copyright infringement is intended but I am sharing it so that perhaps, we will understand why suffering and destruction exist.

November 6, 1968. 446th Session.

Among  other things, Seth Two said:

“The human race is a stage through which various forms of consciousness travel. Before you can be allowed into systems of reality that are more extensive and open, you must first learn to handle energy and see, through physical materialization, the concrete result of thought and emotion. As a child forms mud pies from dirt, so you form your civilizations out of thoughts and emotions, and then see what you have created.

When you leave the physical system after reincarnations, you have learned the lessons – and you are literally no longer a member of the human race, for you elect to leave it. Only the conscious self dwells within it in any case, and other portions of your identity dwell simultaneously within other training systems. In more advanced systems, thoughts and emotions are automatically and immediately translated into action, into whatever approximation of matter there exists. Therefore, the lessons must be taught and learned well.

The responsibility for creation must be clearly understood. To some extent, you are in a soundproof and isolated room. Hate creates destruction in that ‘room’, and until the lessons are learned, destruction follows destruction.

In the terms of other systems, that kind of destruction does not exist – but you believe that it does, and the agonies of the dying are sorely felt. A vivid nightmare is also sorely felt, but quickly over. It is not that you must be taught not to destroy, for destruction does not actually exist. It is that you must be taught and trained to create responsibly. Yours is a training system for emerging consciousness.

The training will serve you for existence in a variety of interrelated systems. If the sorrows and agonies within your system were not felt as real, the lessons would not be learned. The teachers within your system are those who are in their last reincarnation, and other personalities who have left the system but have been assigned to help those still within it.

You are dealing with the transformation of emotional energy into action and form. You then manipulate within the system which you have yourselves created, and by its effects learn where you have succeeded and failed. The system includes some fragment personalities who are entering for the ‘first’ time, as well as those in later reincarnations.

Humanity dreams the same dream at once, and you have your mass world. The whole construction is like and educational play in which you are the producers as well as the actors. There is a play within a play within a play. There is no end to the ‘within’ of things. The dreamer dreams, and the dreamer within the dream dreams. But the dreams are not meaningless, and the actions within them are significant. The whole self is the observer and also a participator in the roles.”  

Namaste.

What Dreams May Come

It was five in the morning. I was lying down on my bed while staring at the window, perhaps waiting for the sun to rise. But my eyes still felt heavy. I gave in. Few minutes passed, I was already standing outside a public school building then I saw my sisters accompanied by my aunt passing by and went into a classroom. They were looking for a teacher. But she was not there. They were told that the teacher was on the second floor. They went up, then I woke up.

On that same day, my sisters were scheduled to enrol in Mabolo Elementary school. I told my aunt that when they get there, their teacher is not available and that they have to go to the second floor to find her, which she confirmed at the end of the day.

Could this be possible? Being able to see what will happen? Is this a gift of foresight? I asked. This was the beginning of my self-experiment. I have had several dreams which actually came true but I am never able to distinguish which dreams are ‘prophetic’ and not, to the point that some dreams give me the jitters. Who would not be afraid if there are times you see yourself in a coffin?

This started in my college years. There are times that I would know that a package will arrive or a relative will visit us. The dreams were totally random, yet deep inside I would know which ones bear meaning.

There was one time when my friends and I went to some island resort for an overnight stay. I had a dream that there was some girl knocking on our window informing that they are waiting for us at a funeral and that seats are already reserved. When I woke up, I felt that the dream was not for me so I told my friends about it. One of them freaked out. He actually promised someone that he will go with him to visit a friend’s funeral but decided to go with our island getaway instead.   

But like I’ve said, these things rarely happen during those days until lately when I have discovered how to ‘tap’ into it. Sounds weird, but hey! I don't have anything to lose. 

I have this habit of meditating almost every night before I sleep. I have realized that every time I ask a question before I hit the sack, my dreams tend to provide me the answers. Answers that you don’t actually need to interpret since they are plain and obvious.  To illustrate, I give you one dream I had.

I had this long distance relationship with a guy but deep inside I felt that it is not going to last. I meditated and popped a question, “Can you tell me about my relationship with him?”

And the dream/answer was,

It was early morning. There was a guy whom I haven’t even recognized walking across the street. He looks tired coming from a party. A huge blackboard (which is not actually black but green) was facing me and situated across that street. It looks like a billboard but empty. No ads yet. As he passes by the blackboard, words seem to have automatically written on it with a chalk. The exact words were ‘Option ka lang.’ (you are just an option). I woke up.”

I didn’t want to believe it and even reasoned to myself that probably the dream happened just because I was thinking too much about our situation. Fortunately/unfortunately, the next day, his best friend told me everything that he has another partner. Naturally, we broke up.

Here is another dream which is giving me goose bumps too.

The night before my final road test, I asked “what will happen tomorrow? Will I pass?”, then my dreams were,

First Dream. I was running on a hill carrying a flag on a short pole. There was one guy ahead of me also carrying another flag. He reached the top first and planted the pole on the ground claiming his victory.  I was next to him and was glad that I have reached the goal even though I barely made it.

Second Dream. We were four in the car. It was a lady’s turn to take the wheel. She was wearing red but I was a bit surprised since road tests takers are not supposed to be mixed. It should either be all women or men.

I was on the back, seated on the right side of the car. I was done and a bit anxious about the results. The examiner on the front keeps on talking to me while instructing the lady who is taking the wheel. I ignored the examiner while I was staring at the window. Suddenly, I was outside the car and saw the car crashing to an oil tanker truck. There was a huge explosion and I can even see bodies thrown all over. Interestingly, I was just looking at them without feeling scared. Then I woke up.

I figured that the first dream answered my question that I will pass. However, there is still a feeling of uncertainty. It’s just a dream. I might have just dreamt what I wanted to see, but definitely not the accident. I was even trying to convince myself that everything is going to be alright.

It was 7AM. I was already at the driving school’s office waiting for my road test. Then a guy wearing a red shirt came in. “Oh! Shit!”, I whispered. “If he is going to be in the same car with me, this is going to be interesting.”, I told myself. Fortunately he was not.

I passed the test and there was no accident. “I told you Allan. Your dream was just simply exaggerated.”, I said to myself.

On the same day, when I was about to process my driving license, the evaluator asked me to get my clearance first from the branch where I enrolled. It is a 15 minute taxi ride so I did not hesitate to rush to it immediately. When I was in the cab, I was sitting at the back, on the right side. Then I recalled, “This was exactly my view when the explosion happened in my dream." Right there and then, the Mitsubishi Pajero in front of us (around 15 meters ahead) suddenly swerved to the right, almost smashed into another car, hit the gutter and destroyed it, and went into the dessert sand. There was dust all over the place and my cab driver was so scared that he can’t stop swearing. Fortunately, no one was injured and my cab just moved on. “That was freaky!”, I said to myself still perplexed of what has happened.

Why am I telling you this? I believe that our dreams do convey some messages. Perhaps, this is one of the ways our inner consciousness communicates to us. And the best interpreter is actually you since you have your own set of unique symbolisms which are utilized in your dreams. What I am trying to say is, if you dream of a snake, assess what your actual feeling towards it. If you are afraid of it, then in your dreams, it might symbolize as fear but if you are fond of it, then perhaps, it might mean opportunities, etc.  

For most of us, dreams are just simply dreams, nothing more. But have you asked yourself, why do we have dreams? I am not asking for a physiological answer. I mean, what do you think is its purpose and why are we having them?

Namaste.

PS: Yes, I have tried to ask for a lottery number, bet on it but didn’t win. LOL. 

The Alternative Story of Creation

Note: This is taken from my book, 'Theology of a Modern Heretic'. You can download a copy from this link. 

In the beginning-less time, there is the ONE, that WHICH IS. It is the NOTHING and EVERYTHING. It is the DARKNESS and the LIGHT.

It is PURE ENERGY. It is the CONSCIOUS and the UNCONSCIOUS. It is called the UNIVERSE.

And in order for it to experience more of WHAT IS from WHAT IS NOT, out of nothing, the UNIVERSE, in its consciousness, generates forms of different sizes, shapes, colors, and of different conscious levels, yet, all are of the same source, the same energy, yet its consciousness is still part of the collective whole ~ the UNIVERSE.

It was pleased of what it sees and feels, for it is good.

And as boundless and as infinite as it is, the UNIVERSE continues to generate forms of different energy levels. And this time, shapes capable of feeling joy & sadness, healing & pain. Some walk on four legs, others swim.

It was pleased of what it sees and feels, for it is good.

The UNIVERSE continued to generate a different shape of higher energy level. Walks on two legs and has its own free will, a creative life form able to decide on its own, able to show love, and be loved in return. HUMANS as they call themselves.

It was pleased of what it sees and feels, for it is good.

HUMANS ~ They were full of love, full of joy. But in the difference of being WHAT IS from WHAT IS NOT, they tend to identify themselves as BETTER than WHAT IS NOT. Hence, the birth of EGO.

They begin to set varied VALUES on things even though they are of the same source, the same energy. They now hoard things that WHICH THEY HAVE NOT for they believe that having them makes them BETTER. Hence, the birth of GREED.

They wage war to other beings, to harbor things which they do not have. They destroy those whom they think are INFERIOR. They invent government to organize themselves, religion to organize their beliefs, politics to organize their opinions. They invent technology to make their lives BETTER. Yet in the quest to gain superiority among others, they give birth to PAIN, HATRED, JEALOUSY, & ANGER.

Though there are few who still remember that ALL IS ONE and that EVERYTHING IS OF THE SAME ENERGY and of THE SAME SOURCE and that NOTHING IS ABOVE OR BELOW for EVERYTHING IS THE SAME, yet, most have forgotten. 

The world is now engrossed with WHAT IS and despises WHAT IS NOT, and it is all because of EGO. However, once you have conquered oneself, you have stopped defining yourself that you are BETTER than the rest. And now with your ego-less consciousness, you have communed again with the SOURCE and reverted back to your TRUE SELF: THE UNIVERSE, that which you are part of.

Namaste.
