Nassim Haramein in One Hour on Quantum Gravity & the Holographic Mass – 6:00 Pacific

May 16 Update: Okay, that was WAY over my head this time, LOL, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. Nassim’s excitement over the surprising results of his 4 years of 15-hour days paid off.  He did a good job of reducing the complexities of his work so we could understand and it will be interesting to see the repercussions of his brilliant work.

Use the link to register for the webinar/teleconference and download his latest paper.

If you’re registered and can’t attend, you’ll get a link to the recording. In my opinion, Nassim never disappoints.

For those not familiar with him, Nassim is one of my favourite scientists—a physicist. He’s a lot like Bruce Lipton; friendly, authentic, explains complex concepts in simple terms most lay people can understand, and does groundbreaking research. Can’t wait to hear what he’s been up to now.

NEW “CONNECTED UNIVERSE” THEORY OFFERS ALTERNATIVE EXPLANATION OF GRAVITY AND THE SOURCE OF MASS

Kilauea, Hawaii (May 7, 2013) – A groundbreaking paper published last week sheds new light on the theory of gravity and the potential to significantly impact global issues facing the human race, including alternative energy sources.

Nassim Haramein, Director of Research at the Hawaii Institute for Unified Physics (HIUP), has authored a paper titled “Quantum Gravity and the Holographic Mass,” which has been validated and published in the peer review journal, Physical Review and Research International. This paper discusses Haramein’s “Connected Universe” theory, which offers a new and alternative understanding of gravity through basic algebraic and geometric equations.

Haramein’s work indicates everything in the universe is connected, from the largest to the smallest scale, through a unified understanding of gravity. He demonstrates that it is the space that defines matter and not matter that defines space.

“Remember that matter is made up of 99.9 percent space,” Haramein said. “Quantum field theory states that the structure of spacetime itself, at the extremely small level, vibrates with tremendous intensity. If we were to extract even a small percentage of all the energy held within the vibrations present in the space inside your little finger, it would represent enough energy to supply the world’s needs for hundreds of years. This new discovery has the potential to open up access and harness that energy like never before, which would revolutionize life as we know it today.”

At the basis of Haramein’s research is a bold prediction about the charge radius of the proton, which was recently verified by experiment. Less than a month after Haramein sent his paper to the Library of Congress, the Paul Scherrer Institute in Switzerland released a new measurement for the size of the proton, confirming Haramein’s prediction.

“Protons are the primary building blocks of our universe – they are at the center of every atom and therefore are everywhere and in everything,” said Chris Almida, Executive Director of the Resonance Project Foundation, parent organization of HIUP. “It is critical that we accurately understand proton structure if we are to even begin to understand the ‘connected universe.’ Nassim’s prediction was confirmed and is exactly right (within the margin of error of the experiment), whereas the Standard Model theory is off by a significant amount.” Almida continued, “If Nassim’s theory is correct, insight into solving some of mankind’s most prevalent problems could be within our grasp.”

Haramein’s approach could potentially unlock new discoveries in the areas of energy, transportation and even space travel.

A twenty minute documentary from filmmaker, Malcom Carter, illustrates these new ideas in a compelling fashion.

NASA Releases Stunning Image of Giant ‘Solar Whip’ as Sun Heads for 11-Year Solar Maximum

Many people are saying the sun is much brighter now than it used to be; that it’s white rather than yellow. I can’t even look at the sun any more full on. It’s blindingly brilliant, and no longer a round yellow circle. It’s now a hazy, pulsing white patch in the sky—at least in Arizona. No worries, though. It won’t do anything that will hurt us. Quite the contrary. It’s bringing extremely powerful energies that are key to our conscious and physical evolution. The photos of solar activity we get from NASA cameras are spectacular, aren’t they?

NASA has revealed an astonishing image of a giant solar ‘whip’ on the surface of the sun captured as a solar flare erupted.

The amazing image, captured on May 3rd, shows a solar prominence, a loop of red hot plasma which remains attached to the sun, and appeared just as a solar flare was subsiding.

Experts say it is another sign the sun is ‘waking up’ as it approaches its 11 year solar maximum, which is due later this year.

WHAT IS A SOLAR PROMINENCE ?

A solar prominence is a large, bright feature extending outward from the Sun’s surface.

A prominence forms over timescales of about a day, and the red-glowing looped material is plasma, a hot gas comprised of electrically charged hydrogen and helium.

An erupting prominence occurs when such a structure becomes unstable and bursts outward, releasing the plasma.

The loop was created as the sun shot out a solar flare towards Earth.

This flare is classified as an M5.7-class flare.

M-class flares are the weakest flares that can still cause some space weather effects near Earth.

Increased numbers of flares are quite common at the moment, as the sun’s normal 11-year activity cycle is ramping up toward solar maximum, which is expected in late 2013, NASA said.

‘Increased numbers of flares are quite common at the moment, since the sun’s normal 11-year cycle is ramping up toward solar maximum, which is expected in late 2013,’ NASA has said.

Humans have tracked this solar cycle continuously since it was discovered, and it is normal for there to be many flares a day during the sun’s peak activity, NASA said.

It claims the danger form the flare shown here has already passed.

The solar prominence is clearly visible on this full disc image of the sun captured by NASA’s SDO spacecraft.

‘Solar flares are powerful bursts of radiation.

‘Harmful radiation from a flare cannot pass through Earth’s atmosphere to physically affect humans on the ground, however — when intense enough — they can disturb the atmosphere in the layer where GPS and communications signals travel.

‘This disrupts the radio signals for as long as the flare is ongoing, and the radio blackout for this flare has already subsided.’

Solar flares are powerful bursts of radiation.

Harmful radiation from a flare cannot pass through Earth’s atmosphere to physically affect humans on the ground, however — when intense enough — they can disturb the atmosphere in the layer where GPS and communications signals travel.

This disrupts the radio signals for as long as the flare is ongoing, anywhere from minutes to hours.

This image shows light in the 131-angstrom wavelength, a wavelength of light that can show material at the very hot temperatures of a solar flare and that is typically colorized in teal.

The Astrology of May from Carl Boudreau

Wow, this one starts with a “disclaimer”. Things are really heating up. What I like about Carl’s assessment is that it applies to our lives in a practical sense so that we know what it could look like and therefore, what to watch for. We don’t have to understand astrology to see what may transpire. Things may get a little fuzzy now, though, it seems.

The Astrology of May 2013

 High Voltage Politics: Disclaimer

However, by now, after years of continuous intense astrological activity, every area of our lives is supercharged with transformative and disruptive energies. Each month seems to initiate processes that will take years to completely unfold; strata upon strata of transformative processes are unfolding simultaneously, each person and each nation responding according to their nature, adding to the appearance of chaos.

It’s as if the transformative process has encompassed every area and facet of our lives. Everything is in transformative motion at once. As a result, there is turbulence everywhere we look and it masks the underlying meaning and direction of events.The main focus of events in any given month can be completely obscured by the overall turbulence.

I will continue to focus on the chief astrological narrative line, but acknowledge that it might be hard to discern that line in what is becoming the chaos of contemporary global events.

On the other hand, these charts remind us that the world is not descending into chaos. There is a fundamental, underlying pattern in world events and they have a direction.

Recap of April 2013

In April, a major stellium in the 6th house brought a release of difficult energies in the workplace and wherever people exchange goods and services for cash.

Early in April, labor issues were in the foreground. Fast Food workers in the New York area carried out an unusual and courageous strike for higher pay. Several hundred service workers struck in the Chicago area later in April. Obama’s nominee for Labor Secretary came up for consideration.

A Lunar eclipse, the first of three eclipses in April and May, occurred on April 25th. It coincided with a number of violent, catastrophic events. I believe the approach of hard aspects that will be exact in May also helped determine these events.

These violent and tragic events in the third week of April overshadowed April’s overall emphasis on workplace issues. However, at least one of these events, the catastrophic explosion of a fertilizer plant near Waco, TX, was, essentially, a workplace disaster and raised innumerable issues related to worker safety.On an individual level, if my own experience is any indication, April saw many overdue on-the-job discussions with coworkers.

May’s Astrological Milestones

Let us next consider some of the astrological milestones in May.

• Mars in Taurus opposite Saturn retrograde in Scorpio, May 1. This is a potentially dangerous aspect adding a volatile, explosive component to the eclipse activity we are seeing along the Taurus/Scorpio axis – the chief financial axis of the Zodiac. This emphasis, overall, suggests major transformative events affecting global finances. I believe the approach of this aspect is partly responsible for the difficult or violent events in late April.

• Mars in Taurus trines Pluto retrograde in Capricorn on May 5 (GMT). This aspect is essentially supportive, but it will add Mars/Pluto energy to a period already supercharged with explosive Mars/Pluto/Saturn energy. It could make things either worse or better, depending on the situation. Perhaps difficult situations (Mars v. Saturn) will catapult us into more favorable ones (Mars trine Pluto).

• Solar Eclipse in Taurus, May 10th. Another release of force along the already hyper-stimulated financial axis.

• Uranus in Aries Squares Pluto retrograde, for the 3rd Time, May 20th GMT. This square is the third in a series of seven extending from June 2012 to March 2017 (the next one is in November).

• Lunar Eclipse in Sagittarius, May 25th. This third eclipse in a series of three, hits the Gemini/Sagittarius axis.  This is the main political axis of the Zodiac. Expect major political and ideological realignments. With the Sun in Gemini in the 3rd, in the sign and house of grassroots politics, expect a further dramatic increase in the level grassroots political activity.

May 2013 – Overview

Business as Usual Interrupted

May thrusts us across an important threshold in the transformation being powered by the Uranus/Pluto square (exact seven times from mid-2012 thru spring 2015).

The ongoing debate over what used to be generally accepted, core political and economic assumptions will escalate further. Sweeping political realignments will set the stage for fundamental change.

Please see Carl’s blog for the remainder of the article…

What Does an Eclipse Bring?

What does an eclipse bring? Plenty!  Multiple eclipses bring even more, and the sun’s not doing too shabby, either!

The following is what’s already happening, with more on the way. This is a very powerful time for Humanity in their victory over the Reign of Terror and our début into The Golden Age. The long cycle of the dark is ending, and the Light is bursting through.

For new readers who came on board to look for more dirt on the Illuminati, the Boston Bombing, Korea, Syria, Obama’s indictment and all that drama—you may think this is a bunch of new age, out there, woo-woo stuff—and that’s okay. You’ll figure it out.

Waking up to what’s going on is one thing; waking up to who we are is quite another.

What’s happening in the heavens has EVERYTHING to do with what’s happening down here at Ground Zero. Hence the SCIENCE called Astrology.

I cover it all—that’s why it’s called “The Big Picture”. It’s all relevant and co-mingling.

Eventually you’ll find your destiny lies in the stars. It’s where we came from, after all.

“For those who believe, no proof is necessary.
For those who don’t believe, no proof is possible.” 
~ Stuart Chase

They programmed us to disregard our right brain functions and only go with logic, but that’s not the way the Universe works and it was our downfall to be disconnected from our Source and the truth of our existence. Now… it’s all coming back with the help of cosmic energies from celestial bodies. The transformation is underway. The Shift has hit the fan as they say, so hold on tight—it’s going to be quite a ride. ET is going HOME.

Wed. April 24th

Greetings Love Beings,

As anticipated, huge shifting has been occurring in the past 72 hours with more on the way. What has also occurred is The Planet has moved up in Frequency and we will be riding this onward and Upward. We Feel the very first signs of the Movement for the People’s Disclosure is beginning to unfold as more begin awakening. We are Entering an intense Acceleration through our incoming Eclipses.

Tomorrow, we will have A Full Moon In Scorpio, The Festival of Christ~ which is the beginning of the Wesak festivals and the First of Three Powerful Eclipses arriving for the Planet within the next 30 days. These Eclipses with the Festivals Will Be Assisting Us in many ways and they do represent intense Change.

Quoted from Rev. Christine Meleriessee “The Festival of the Christ ~ April 25th, 2013 “Is the first festival of the three and usually falls around Easter.  This year it did not as the Easter holiday was earlier which also signifies the time of changes of removing the old pantheons.  On April 25th, we experience an amazing Festival of the Christ.  On its own this energy is life changing but with the Lunar Eclipse of this date, we are going to be changed very deeply.” End of Quote.

These Foundational energies for change were Set in Place during this same time period last year. These Eclipses will Assist Us in magnifying the New Earth Energy Coming In and facilitate Energy Movement for the Light. Many doors to your new lives will begin opening and or revealed. These Eclipses also represent trigger points for events to occur according to the Divine Plan. This Incoming Full Moon is About hidden Truths Being Revealed, so the energetic space opens up for More Love to Enter the Planet. This Full Moon Contains intense transformational energy and many are probably already feeling this.

 Through Irma Kay Sawyer”… Full Moon Message: The high aspect of Scorpio energy is about deep Truth – which in itself can bring healing and a regenerative power. You Are That (which you seek.) This is a time to bring this truth *home* so to speak. In times of a temporary Eclipse, there is a shadow cast and a darkening of the Light. It also presents a Cosmic Gateway moment in between worlds. In moments of cosmic stillness, there is great power and potential for insight… Intend to be connected to your highest Soul’s wisdom. And so it is. – The Keepers…”

http://soundofheart.org/galacticfreepress/content/cosmic-weather-full-moon-scorpio-vision-gold-mining-glittering-prize

 Quoted from Star Sister Marcia…At 3:57 p.m. EDT on Thursday. a very powerful process of healing and metamorphosis will begin  For many of us, this will be a personal turning point.  Eclipses are renowned for bringing sudden, unpredictable, sometimes shocking change. This is just the first of three eclipses that will occur within the next month, along with the third, world-changing square of Uranus the Awakener and Pluto the Transformer. Like every lunar eclipse, this one coincides with a full moon. The Scorpio Full Moon that comes each year when the Sun is in Taurus is known throughout Asia as the Wesak Moon.  Also known as the Buddha Moon, it celebrates the birth, enlightenment, and death of the Buddha. It reminds us that the process of shedding our illusions and false selves is as intense as that of giving physical birth...” End of Quote.

Sunspot AR1726 has a delta-class magnetic field that poses a threat for X-class flares. Credit: SDO/HMI

BIG SUNSPOT: Fast-growing sunspot AR1726 is now so large that people are noticing it as blemish on the solar disk, visible when the sun is dimmed at sunrise or sunset. Bartholomew Tsang sends this evening snapshot from the Ho Koon Nature Education cum Astronomical Centre in Hong Kong:

The behemoth active region, which spans more than 150,000 km from end to end, has a delta-class magnetic field that harbors energy for strong eruptions. NOAA forecasters estimate 40% chance of M-class solar flares and a 15% chance of X-flares during the next 24 hours. Solar flare alerts: text, voice.

Many are now confirming with us, we are in the final stages of some huge transformations for the First Wavers on The Planet, as they Integrate onto the Unity Grid and begin the Co~Creation of The New Earth. These will be assisted by our Upcoming Eclipses and continue the rest of this year. As a result We Will Have another a Huge influx of New “Awakenees”. All Divine Roles are Activated as You are Present In the Moment of Now. All will and is being revealed.

Quoted from Méline Lafont…..An extremely uplifing and beautiful time is just around the corner for all of you due to the upcoming eclipses arriving in the course of 1 month (April 25th, partial lunar eclipse, May 10th annular solar eclipse and May 25th penumbral lunar eclipse). They will surely bring about much in your reality, even more than has been the case up until now, and everything builds slowly but surely up to your genuinely real reality which unfolds itself from your heart and from your inner Self.…

The upcoming 3 eclipses are not only going to disengage much but also trigger a lot in your reality, so be careful with your thoughts of and for each other, and your mutual interactions, and be aware that these intense energies will bring you to such a climax that it will seem too overwhelming for you to handle but nothing is further from the truth as these energies will lead to your salvation….

This is huge to take in and comprehend and will in most cases lead to confusion. That’s why we again stress the fact the remain centered in YOUR HEART, this is of the utmost importance!

The coming days and more specifically, the energies of the eclipses, will reveal much concerning disclosure, the truth about your existence and ours, as a few projects have been started up in the time frame of these eclipses implying that you yourselves will bring disclosure to the forefront. We can only applaud your for this and rest assured that it will reach many hearts and, viewing it from this position, it will be an astounding success!…..” End of Quote.

http://soundofheart.org/galacticfreepress/content/melchizedek-coming-days-and-more-specifically-energies-eclipses

Quoted from Adama …”Indeed you have entered the final chapter of the planetary changes that were planned based on the cosmic cycles a very long time ago. Vibrational changes are on the horizon with much intensity. You are simply in the middle of those changes you were prepared for, before your recent physical assignment.

The planet is ready for the transformation. The same readiness is valid from your side. All that will unfold is not in a future time anymore. In whatever form, these transformational energies can be brought into your reality field. Just stay tuned to the navigational system your heart is connected to. There is a delicate balance between your newly forming… heart. Brain and heart are connected in a way that could not have been presented earlier. You’re …ready to feel… This is the most important sign of the readiness….

It is indeed a roller coaster in many of your lives because the changes and transformations on your personal level are accelerating. Keep up the good work beloved ones. These changes you are experiencing on a daily basis now are all the symptoms of the greatest transformation you as humanity are going through…..” End of Quote.

Sign-by-Sign Astrology for May from Carl Boudreau

Astrology Forecast for May 2013

For Everyone

In May, we will find ourselves swept down a new road with only minimal preparation. We just have to trust that countless small decisions, made over a long period of time, often on the fly, have prepared us. The planets are taking things into their own hands. The world will work by different rules. It will suddenly respond better to sharing, consensus-building and cooperation, for example. Progressive views will be more welcome. In the meantime, until you get it figured out, prepare to be surprised.

Carl Boudreau’s Astrology of March: Shuffling the Political and Economic Deck

Carl has been fairly accurate in his past prognostications. Regardless, I believe March will be a very interesting month on many levels.

Since everything unfolding on-planet and off hinges on what’s happening in the heavens, it never hurts to have an inkling about what our may experience may be. Enjoy!

BTW, for newbies, Carl isn’t some flighty, spaced-out, new-age teenager. He’s a highly educated, retired, and intuitive guy who is sharing his gifts at a time when we most need them.

Here’s his video:

The Astrology of March 2013

Shuffling the Political and Economic Deck

In March, the world will become a more hopeful place as our understanding of the issues before us deepens. Divisive bumper sticker rhetoric will give way to more in depth analysis.

There will be progress and movement away from the brink of crisis. Drama and turbulence are likely, too, but things will improve.

March will also be about changing the economic facets of our relationships with family, friends, employers, businesses, institutions and government agencies.

People will be inclined to raise difficult issues, pointedly. We could feel defensive or exposed, as others home in on our Achilles heel, our guiltier secrets – probably unintentionally. Our feelings of culpability could make us more willing to see the other side of the issue, or it could make us overreact.

There will also be more disturbing revelations about how economically important institutions – legal, medical, financial, religious and military, e.g. – conduct business.

Some will use the confusion and drama to mask cynical, self-serving power plays.

But, more important, March’s chart strongly supports those who pursue their own truth, wisely and with discipline and foresight.

This chart encompasses the Spring Equinox. Hence the themes touched upon here will remain relevant for some months into the future.

The Astrological Details

Power is concentrated in the 7th and 8th houses. Nine important indicators are crowded into these two houses.

The 7th house governs our important relationships with individuals as individuals. The 8th house governs relationships with groups, organizations or institutions on whom we depend for security, support and other social resources.

A Walk on the Wild Side

Sun and Venus are conjunct in Pisces in the 8th; Mars and Uranus are conjunct in Aries in the 8th.

These are powerful combinations of energy whose effects will be hard to predict and harder to manage.

They are especially strong placements because of house and sign rulerships, planetary dignities, and so on.

They are also paradoxical, awkward placements.  For example, Venus is in a sign (Pisces) that evokes its highest expression, but in a house (the 8th) that encourages its lowest expression.

Uranus is strengthened in the 8th house. So is Mars. But in conjunction, Mars and Uranus produce ill-conceived, disruptive acts of self-assertion. Here, it suggests rash financial decisions.

The 8th house stellium also points to intense and unconventional sexual activity, likely born of ulterior financial motives. A long talk would be much safer in the end than a roll in the sack. Maybe it always is.

Outing the Skeletons in Our Closets

Chiron, Mercury and Neptune are in Pisces in the 7th; the Lot of Accusation (Point of Substance) and Nessus are exactly conjunct in Aquarius close to the cusp of  the 7th house, near the Descendant.

Key relationships can come apart in distressing, even painful ways.

• The Point of Substance or Lot of Accusation (an Arabic Part) brings painful moments of truth, embarrassing accusations and hurtful suspicions we have a hard time refuting. It puts us on the defensive.

• Nessus (a so-called centaur) brings deep feelings of guilt or personal responsibility that haunt our subconscious. Bad Nessus can also cause serious, perhaps chronic medical conditions.

A sense of guilt or shame, or acute embarrassment, could inject deeply uncomfortable and highly disruptive emotions into our interactions.

The P. of Substance and Nessus are angular, too. They will affect every area of our lives. Everyone should tread lightly. Avoid judgmentalism. Individually, people might stray onto emotionally sensitive ground. Others, sensing an advantage, could take advantage of our discomfort.

On the macro-level, Nessus could bring revelations of wrongdoing in high places, perhaps on a grand scale.

There’s lots more!

Massive Green ‘Fireball’ Blazes Across California Sky in Another Too-Close-for-Comfort Meteor Shower

The Chelyabinsk meteor in Russia was on Feb. 15th, and apparently this fireball was last Thursday, Feb. 21st. They’re saying the frequency of these displays isn’t unusual, so perhaps we will be treated to many more of these spectacular heavenly events—or more “signs” as COBRA calls them—soon.

This (below) is the first photo I’ve seen of the hole in the ice that the Chelyabinsk meteor made.

Hundreds of Californians reported seeing a bright light streak across the sky late Thursday in what officials believe was a meteor shower.

Several witnesses described the 10:35 p.m. sighting as a ‘green fireball,’ while others said it appeared white and some even said they saw streaks of blue.

‘There was extreme detail of this fireball from my location,’ Leslie A. of La Crescenta reported to American Meteor Society. ‘I actually saw flames with a trail of glowing lime green attached to it. Very large in size. We are up toward the mountains.’

This photograph of the fireball was submitted to the Southern California Weather Authority

Witnesses reported seeing the fireball as far north as Sacramento and as far south as Malibu – cities that are approximately 400 miles apart.

The sighting comes several weeks after a meteor blazed across sky in western Siberia and crashed into the Earth which such force that it injured more than 1,000 people.

On the same day, a 50-foot asteroid estimated to weigh 143,000 tons made a historically-close fly-by to Earth.

Other fireball sightings were reported this month in San Francisco and Florida.

Scientists say the frequency of these meteor showers is not abnormal.

In this frame grab made from dashboard camera video, a meteor streaks through the sky over Chelyabinsk, about 1500 kilometers (930 miles) east of Moscow on Feb. 15, 2013

Russian policemen stands near an eight-meter hole where the meteorite fell

‘Somewhere on the planet there is an object like that entering the planet at least once a day,’ Ed Krupp, director of the Los Angeles Griffith Observatory, told NBC Los Angeles.

He said the object that caused the fireball over California Thursday was likely no larger than a basketball.

‘What you are really seeing is a glowing column of gas,’ he said. ‘It’s extremely visible because of the tremendous heat that is generated.’
