The Alchemy of Weather
Friday, November 14, 2003
All things in our reality go through alchemical changes, including the weather. The alchemy of weather begins with consciousness frozen in time, an Ice Age. The sun, the light, the heat, melts the ice which turns to water, the collective unconsciousness, the rains and great floods. The air responds, the winds of change. Weather moves in cycles, as does time and all things in our reality.
There are those who can work within the alchemy of weather by using their consciousness to control the weather in their area. Shaman often have control of the weather but talking to the Great Spirits. In truth this is about connecting with the watchers, those who created and control the program from outside the box.
Huge Sunspots Set to Return There were 10 major sun flares in late October 2003. Currently, the sun rocks, ejecting large and powerful solar flares, and the solar system reacts. It's as if Ra, the Sun God, is creating changes. Disrupting the intensity of solar activity, changing the electromagnetic fields, are all part of the alchemical changes of all states of matter. The spirals of the winds and storms, move us into the next level of expression. The spirals bring messages, watch for spiraling patterns of leaves as they fall to the ground. This is not unlike our feather experiences this year, that brought us messages of transition. Rotation and spirals, that which you can witness in nature. Counter-rotating fields, the Star Tetrahedron, Sacred Geometry, , The Merkaba - Rotation and Spin of consciousness from one reality to another.
Listen to the sounds of nature. They are speaking to you through the Alchemy of Weather.
It's Friday in the Big Apple ....and the talk in New York is about the weather. Actually the weather is a topic of conversation in many places.
The continuing magnetic storms are really 'doing a number' on planet Earth, not to mention the astrological changes that are influencing us at this time, shaking us up and placing us into another head space.
Daylight hours are diminishing in the northern hemisphere. This can cause depression to those who are already 'lost'.
The Nesting Feeling is kicking in as winter approaches and souls search for partners for the cold winter months ahead.
For the past two days the northeast has had severe winds which have knocked down trees, caused accidents and delays in many areas, and disrupted the lives of thousands of people.
As I live on the water, across from a large park, the winds were howling through trees as if Spirit was sending messages. The remaining leaves fell from the trees. Had there been more leaves on the trees, many trees could have fallen over.
The winds reminded me of September 11, 2002, at the memorial service at Ground Zero in NYC, for those who died on 911. Out of the blue/blew, unexpected windy gusts, over 40 mph, swept through the area. Spirits of those lost on 911, were speaking to us.
Spirit, the program speaks to us in many ways, the wind being one of them. Weather sets our moods, and often determines the way our activities for a given day will unfold.
Weather is often linked to superstitions. Some people link strange weather to the Psychology of Warnings.
For people who follow prophecy, the unusual weather, and related paranormal experiences, might be seen as another sign of the End Times approaching. Just last weekend, at the time of the Harmonic Concordance, people saw double rainbows, rainbows around the moon, strange lights and light formations in the sky, and the opening and closing of windows between dimensions, through which they saw other realities. It is all a state of mind and projected illusion.

From Atlantis Rising, Gregg Braden Awakening to Zero Point: The Collective Initiation, 1996
Do you feel like time is "speeding up?" Are you experiencing changes in your sleep patterns and dream states, alternating periods of "black hole" sleep with periods of intense and vivid dream activity? Have your emotions and relationships intensified? Is deja vu a common experience for you? What about the vague feeling that something is different now; that somehow, you've been through this before? You may be happy to discover, as I was,
that you are not just imagining it. You are not alone. And there are very real reasons for these experiences.
Evidence is accumulating from diverse sources to suggest that these experiences, psychological though they may be, have a physiological and geophysical component. This means that changes within Earth's body affects our bodies, because
the two are tied in subtle ways.
Evidence is accumulating from diverse sources to
suggest that these experiences, psychological though they may be,
have a physiological and geophysical component. This means that
changes within Earth's body affects our bodies, because the two are
tied in subtle ways.
So subtle, in fact, that we are mostly unaware of this
"bonding" until viewed in the life or fertility cycles of
many species that are timed to the tides or full moon, or in the
recently discovered magnetite, a specialized brain cell, found in
abundance in the brains of mammals (including humans) and birds that
tune and respond to Earth's magnetic field. Allowing homing pigeons
to home in, sea creatures to navigate migration patterns, magnetite
may also be the key to understanding why some people and animals are
sensitive to earthquakes before they happen (they sense the
localized anomalies in the magnetic field known to occur in the
hours and days prior to seismic events) and perhaps why sheep have
been seen to sit in rows upon ley lines, natural lines of magnetic
force in the Earth. So, we are tuned and we are affected. What are
the changes within the Earth affecting us?
They are cyclical, occurring in extremely long time waves, by human
standards. That's one of the reasons we are mostly unaware of them.
The best place to view the clues left behind by previous cycles is
in geological record, the book kept by Earth herself. Science knows
little about how to read these cycles, or what they mean. That
information may be contained in the records of the previous cultures
who lived through them.
Breakthrough research comes from Gregg Braden, who has correlated
the two records and pieced together a fascinating, and, if he's
right, important picture. Braden's career history and personal
experiences had much to do with recognizing this new evidence.
Former experience as a computer systems designer and geologist led
him to recognize the evidence of these geophysical cycles in the
geologic record. Two Near-Death Experiences at an early age, and
years spent guiding tours to sacred sites throughout the world, led
him to research the temples, texts, myths, and traditions of various
ancient cultures.
Braden found that previous cultures had not only experienced and
left records of their experience of these cycles, they found them
useful for easing access to higher states of consciousness. So
useful, that in between cycles, they designed and built temples, or
utilized natural sites, that exhibit these same geophysical,
cyclical conditions, the same ones that are in exponential
transition on Earth today. They called this point in the cycle
"The Shift of the Ages." What's more, they left us the instructions.
Geophysical Condition #1: Earth's Rising Base Frequency
Earth's background base frequency, or "heartbeat," (called
Schumann resonance, or SR) is rising dramatically. Though it varies
among geographical regions, for decades the overall measurement was
7.8 cycles per second. This was once thought to be a constant;
global military communications developed on this frequency. Recent
reports set the rate at 8.6, and climbing. Science doesn't know why,
or what to make of it. Braden found data collected by Norwegian and
Russian researchers on this; it's not widely reported in the U.S.
(The only reference to SR to be found in the Seattle Library
reference section, is tied to the weather. Science acknowledges SR
as a sensitive indicator of temperature variations and worldwide
weather conditions. Braden believes the fluctuating SR may be a
factor in the severe storms, floods, and weather of recent years.)
Geophysical Condition #2: Earth's Diminishing Magnetic Field
While earth's "pulse" rate is rising, her magnetic field
strength, on the other hand, is declining. According to Professor
Bannerjee of the University of New Mexico, the field has lost up to
half its intensity in the last 4,000 years. And because a forerunner
of magnetic polar reversals is this field strength, Prof. Bannerjee
believes that another reversal is due. Braden believes that because
these cyclical Shifts are associated with reversals, Earth's
geological record indicating magnetic reversals also marks previous
Shifts in history. And, within the enormous time scale represented,
there were quite a few of them.
The Book of Earth Past
The geological record is like one big book whose sedimentary pages
record the events of their day. Magnetic pole reversals leave their
mark in the sea floor's spreading ridges; the once molten rock's
iron particles aligned to the north pole as the lava cooled and
hardened. Today, through core samples, we can "read" that
the magnetic orientation to North shows periodic 180 degree
flipping. Over a period of 76 million years, 171 reversals are
recorded; nine of them in past 4 million years. "My suspicion
is that the magnetic flip-flop occurs very quickly once Earth's
magnetic field has diminished near the Zero Point, then slowly
builds up again," says Braden.
It may happen soon, or thousands of years from now -- it's
impossible to pinpoint exact dates in the geological record, says
Vince Migliore, editor of Geo-Monitor Newsletter. "But we know
that Earth's geomagnetic field, known to fluctuate in it's intensity
in the recent geologic past, is now just a fraction of what it has
been historically." What is it right now, on a scale of 10, 5
being average, I asked him. The answer: 1.5! What do scientists know
of the effects? According to Migliore, a common phenomenon is
tremendous migration of the magnetic poles. There are reports of
such magnetic anomalies, picked up by compasses, ranging up to 15 to
20 degrees away from magnetic North.
Temple Mechanics
Braden has measured many ancient temples exhibiting unusual magnetic
fields and frequencies. Anecdotal reports concur: from the 1800's to
the present, people have reported hearing ringing and hums, seeing
strange glows, and feeling sparks from megalithic standing stones
and the Great Pyramid. The latter, a mysterious and magnificent
engineering feat, is, according to Braden, the only known temple to
exhibit both geophysical parameters of diminished magnetics and
rising base frequency.
As a resident of New Mexico, Braden spends considerable time among
the temples of the Southwest, and points out that what we, in this
country, call "Indian ruins" are referred to as
"temples" in other countries, and that influences the way
we think about and care for these legacies. In the circular
underground temples, called kivas, built by the Anasazi culture of a
thousand years ago, Braden sees "tuned resonant cavities"
for the purpose of eliciting various altered states of
consciousness. A resonant cavity is a hollow space, the dimensions
of which have a naturally occurring frequency which sets up a
resonance, or harmonic feedback loop, and tunes with another
frequency. "In the case of certain kivas," says Braden,
"that other frequency is the human mind."
Visit to a Kiva
He tells the story of a tour of one well preserved kiva, where his
group was told they couldn't play Native American cedar flutes as
they had in the past. "I was looking forward to experiencing
the kiva's unusual acoustics and the meditative reverie that often
results from it. But a park ranger met us, saying that musical
instruments were now prohibited, because a few days prior, a visitor
had died of a brain aneurysm while blowing a conch shell in the
middle of this kiva. The park wasn't willing to risk any more
accidents."
My husband Paul had a much happier experience in that very same kiva.
With Braden as tour guide, Paul and I spent several days hiking
dusty trails linking kivas of different dimensions (and frequencies)
to outposts and rock outcroppings, some decorated with petroglyphs.
Walking through a kiva, Paul stopped and stood, listening as with
his inner senses. He sat down in the middle, closed his eyes, and
tuned in. It was so powerful, with such intense emotional energy, he
later reported, that he moved to the kiva's edge, sat on a ledge,
continued his mediation, and there had an awakening that he feels
changed the course of his life.
Inner Mechanics
Is it any accident that many temples and sites known as sacred offer
a localized experience of less magnetics and/or higher frequency? In
the Great Pyramid, the upper known chambers have significantly lower
magnetic readings than the lower chambers, and significantly higher
than normal frequencies have been measured.
Braden believes that this was part of the technology developed by
previous cultures to recreate these conditions between cycles, in
chambers especially designed to utilize them for initiations.
Just what effect does a lesser magnetic field and higher vibratory
rate have on us?
"The opportunity to more easily change the patterns that can
determine how and why we love, fear, judge, feel, need, and
hurt." says Braden. "Dense magnetics lock in emotional and
mental patterns from generation to generation in the morphogenetic
field. With lesser magnetic fields, this seems to ease up, allowing
easier access to higher states, as the cells of our body tune to, and
try to match, Earth's rising base frequency like tuning forks,
thereby raising our own."
Records of Previous Shifts
Legacies both written and oral indicate that ancient cultures world
wide have experienced the "Shifts" of previous cycles.
"The ancient record keepers left us the markers for this event,
what to expect, and, very importantly, a strategy for these
times," says Braden. "The strategy involves making the
most of the opportunity for access to higher states of
consciousness, and focuses on the importance of emotions. The
Essenes made a science of this. And the ancient Egyptian mystery
school initiations took place in specific temples in sequence, one
before the other. Each temple, and personifying temple deity, was
dedicated to one aspect of the human psyche. Each aspect must be
balanced prior to moving to the next level."
Initiation Rites
Why the focus on emotions? Looking through current biotech research,
Braden found that our very DNA, our life codes, are affected by our
emotions. The way he explains it, DNA coding options come up as
'electives' at various times, able to turn on or off. Emotions
trigger specific biochemicals, which influence the chemical voltage
and frequency of cells, to which molecules such as DNA respond.
Therefore it is possible for our emotions to act as
"switches" for "turning on" options within our
DNA to make new amino acids (reports of spontaneous mutations are on
the increase) in preparation for an evolutionary leap. Ancient
wisdom, then, offers a successful strategy for life that works on
many levels.
Earth as Global Temple
"We are living the completion of a cycle that began nearly
200,000 years ago, and a process of initiation that was demonstrated
over 2,000 years ago." says Braden. "In past ages, through
proper initiation, these special conditions were utilized for
clearer access to higher states. Now we don't have to recreate them
in specialized temple chambers. We don't have to go anywhere. We are
living in a global initiation chamber, with these geophysical
conditions occurring on a world wide scale. It's as if Earth herself
is preparing us for the next stage of evolution."
Science may be witnessing events for which there are few points of
comparison, but, says Braden, "ancient traditions have
preserved the understanding that during key moments in human
history, a wisdom has been offered allowing individuals to
experience rapid change without fear. This is one of those moments.
This wisdom is now being passed down. Your life is preparing you for
the Shift. The recorded and predicted timetable is intact. The time
is now."
The Chinese say, "May you live in interesting times." For
those frightened of change, who equate dull with secure, this is
meant as a curse. Yet interesting times, if today is any indication,
may also be a rare window of opportunity, a chance to get it right
this time around, a collective journey, and certainly, High
Adventure. It's a personal choice.
