motivation is a byproduct of ego, it is an image of what you wish to be. instinctual emotions and physical instincts are the first and primary thought processing filters, as such they dictate any thought process that ensues or follows. every ensuing thought is processed and tainted by the first and primary filters.

ego and motivation do not enter into play until after the initial thought processes have dictated the course of action.

All the talk of prophesy, flood and the sky remind me of this...

The sky was rolled up like a scroll, and all of the mountains and islands were moved from their places.

Re: X Marks the Spot
I've been studying up on the relationship between gravity anomalies and earthquakes, and it turns out that gravity anomalies are the top-performing earthquake predictor. In the first 6 months of operation in 2009, 66% of the major earthquakes were successfully predicted, and only 5% of the predictions that were issued were false alarms. For 11% of the quakes, the gravimeter readings were too weak for forecasts, and in 21% of the cases, the gravimeter record showed an unrecognized pattern. The forecasted earthquakes occurred in Indonesia, Japan, Taiwan, Italy and Hindu-Kush region of Afghanistan, on the basis of their standardized pattern. This was all done with just one extremely sensitive gravimeter located in Pakistan.
[link to seismonet.org]

It's a bit odd that after a flurry of activity in 2009, and with strongly encouraging initial results, the publications just stopped. I'm searching, but I'm finding little-to-no research or practical applications since 2009. They do now have a total of 3 gravimeter stations. But there appears to be little-to-no interest in this approach on the part of the broader scientific community. Very strange indeed. Could it be that the mainstream doesn't like it, because the gravity anomalies don't make sense?

Anyway, see this for more info, or the bibliography below.

Hi, aether!hi
Interesting, you must be quite sensitive to this. I just noticed an unexpected bump in all the indices. Proton, Electron, and Magnetometer graphs do show some geomagnetic disturbance now.

thanks for the confirmation hugh
i wasn`t sensitive until i met nin and this thread, my focus formed the sensitivity
 Quoting: aether




this is coming soon to mainstream:

Jaroslav Kopernicky , who proves that the attractive force between two magnets is greater than their repulsive force, which disproves Coulomb's Law. And it suggests that the attractive force of gravity is this difference between attractive and repulsive forces in magnetic fields. Since magnetic fields are created by electric fields, gravity must be an electrical effect.
 Quoting: observation


thus when i detect weight change (gravity fluctuation) of physical effect upon myself so does earth and earthquakes fire off within a short time after

look how many today

hi papadunc

visualizing mass as a dimension, when a unit is inside the mass dimension (earth/steel,water etc.), gravitational effect provides that unit with weight


Gravity is due to radially oriented electrostatic dipoles inside the Earth’s protons, neutrons and electrons.

if that is gravity, fluctuations of incoming energy = fluctuations of weight within the unit(s) within earths mass dimension
 Quoting: aether


Sorry aether. I'm not a deep scientist. I'm an electrical technician, but it sounds like you are in a way confirming that it is possible that plates can more around alot easier during times of fluctuation of incoming energy acting on the gravitational field of our planet?

Could it cause a 'pole shift'?

A crustal displacement?
 Quoting: Seer777


I will look into it a little deeper for you. I know a guy who is online in another forum who knows more about this stuff than anyone i can think of. He is a scientist and acutely still actively studies it. Let me send him an email with your question and get through him making fun of me for asking about bible prophecy. (he'll know why i asked as soon as he reads the question.) I could speculate i know a little but you will get a better answer from him. Seeing as how magnetic north will basically disappear there wont really be any polls i believe. Not magnetic ones anyways. So what the hell will that cause?? Besides all our modern nav systems being useless.
 Quoting: Facts>feelings


Thanks. :)

You don't have to include the prophesy part but he may know as you mentioned.

If not the magnetosphere, what could cause said to occur? It is very specific. The sky has to 'roll up'.
 Quoting: Seer777


sure. You may be onto something. If the protons and junk trickling down from the polls causes auroras then maybe that is what it will look like. ST. Elmos fire everywhere.

operation /neptune /spirit /doer /love of good
effect /pluto /son /sayer /love of beauty

says the poet is the sayer/creator

 Quoting: Fancypantz


yes remembering what we have learned from animals and ourselves , before we notice our thought we already have formed our motive (shape) to cause the thought (intent)

this means that we make our minds up before we notice we have made our minds up , and that is natural to do because we are aware our self is faster than light motion by structural design

what that also means is our faster than light self is always forced to shape what it does into our slow light speed beliefs (shapes) that we are given by adults while we are children
thus
no matter how fast we are our motives for all we do generally, are formed by those motives (beliefs) forced into us by adults of the era we are children within
and
the difficulty always is always you have to get past slow velocity self shape forming beliefs of motive into faster than light self to change a belief to alter a motive caused by that belief which shapes our thoughts before we know we have the thought

and

because the information causing our faster than light motive forming self, 7 seconds ahead of our noticing according to mr planck, is also always traveling at faster than light speed (arrival velocity)
and that is why and how the 7 seconds ahead occurs
because
whatever we notice at light speed is always the result/caused by what we do not notice , the faster than light causes of all things that are noticed at light velocity we call reality
 Quoting: aether


naturally experiencing our faster than light domains = natural experiencing peoples motives for the thoughts they possess = colorful experience of peoples motive into thought

Good morning everyone.

Just wanted to share. Last night my mother, brother, and I went through a box of old photos which belonged to my grandma. Was quite the height of hilarity at times. Found many gems.

But one very unexpected diamond. Among the thousand photos was one of my great, great, great grandfather.

It was an image of him holding a pistol just before leaving for the Civil War. As I gazed into this mans face my mother indicated he also 'survived' the Civil War.

What I also realized is if he hadn't...I wouldn't be here. I was so fascinated by the image that I wanted to take a picture of it to preserve online.

I took a few pictures, then a few pictures of two other photos I liked, then again the Civil War photo. When reviewing the images, every single image of said greatx3 grandfather, was upside down. The ones I took in the same fashion in between, were right side up. Try as I might I could not get the photos to photograph not upside down. Was a bit spooky but also kind cool.

The caption reads:
James Lowel(?). Taken before he left to the Civil War in 1862.

Re: X Marks the Spot
Good morning everyone.

Just wanted to share. Last night my mother, brother, and I went through a box of old photos which belonged to my grandma. Was quite the height of hilarity at times. Found many gems.

But one very unexpected diamond. Among the thousand photos was one of my great, great, great grandfather.

It was an image of him holding a pistol just before leaving for the Civil War. As I gazed into this mans face my mother indicated he also 'survived' the Civil War.

What I also realized is if he hadn't...I wouldn't be here. I was so fascinated by the image that I wanted to take a picture of it to preserve online.

I took a few pictures, then a few pictures of two other photos I liked, then again the Civil War photo. When reviewing the images, every single image of said greatx3 grandfather, was upside down. The ones I took in the same fashion in between, were right side up. Try as I might I could not get the photos to photograph not upside down. Was a bit spooky but also kind cool.

The caption reads:
James Lowel(?). Taken before he left to the Civil War in 1862.

That is really cool! I just learned a bit about the civil war in the museum I went to Thursday. They told that most didn't die by enemy hand but by infection. The water, and living in close quarters on top of diet. The diet was horrible, hardtack, coffee, beans, and salt pork. Which the salt pork more than likely was bad because canning was new invention around the time. Plus it was not good cuts but skin and fat mostly. Ekk

I thought so too. I was completely fascinated by it. Then it would only photograph upside down which was a bit strange. He was my maternal great grandmother's, grandfather...

That sounds rather terrible conditions. Like living off Pork&Beans.

I'm going to my parents today and I'm going to ask about the civil war. They have said some stories about it but I don't really remember them. They like that stuff too. They have took us to plenty of sites all over when I was young.
