Insects Found to Use Stars (Milky Way) for Orientation
Some pretty amazing stuff here...

Animals have an amazing capability to align with planetary fields...

This article explains/details part of a study about Dung beetles and their innate ability to align with the stars!


[link to www.sciencedaily.com]

"An insect with a tiny brain and minimal computing power has become the first animal proven to use the Milky Way for orientation. Scientists from South Africa and Sweden have published findings showing the link between dung beetles and the spray of stars which comprises our galaxy."


I am so glad more and more research is being dedicated to animals and their relationship with constellations...wish they would perform more studies relating to humans and their activities related to celestial objects positioning but we all know these wouldn't fly...

A few threads about magnetite in humans (the article above about the beetles mainly highlights their sense of various wavelenghts of light) but all of this is connected:



Thread: New Research - Animal Migration and Magnetism - The Source of Guidance: Magnetite

Thread: Magnetite In The Brain.


Want to learn more (and read a few research articles on this topic)?

Visit Google Scholar [link to scholar.google.com] (I am not sure if the scholarly articles will post here) and then type in "Animals AND magnetite" or "humans AND magnetite" then scroll through some of the studies being published nowadays, you will be surprised at the number of studies on these two subjects...if you want to dig in even further, add electromagnetic field in to some of the search queries

 Quoting: MissionInvisible


Revelation says that a third of the stars will far to earth like ripened figs. That would be consistent a third of heaven's angels being cast out. If the insects align with stars, could it be their very existence is living in that loss and intrinsically tied to it on a lifeforce level? If fallen angels are in the mold of the serpent, then what would be eroded in lifeforce in that fall from being in the image of God?

I think I understand what you are asking...I think we are all tied to the cosmos. Electromagnetic energy is what creates all of us down to our very core. Our DNA resonates like an antennae both sending/receiving information from our environment. Animals are much more in "tune" to these natural rhythms and where we came from :)

The above article is about the beetles ability to sense light for direction/orientation, but there are a few different ways animals can sense their directions :)

Animals also have higher levels of magnetite that helps their bodies act like a compass to help with alignment. Humans have this substance in their body as well, except many times it is in very low quantities..this articles says the beetles use the light to help them with alignment. I'm sure there are quite a few different mechanisms animals use for orientation to natural rhythms.

Excellent, but the insect grey aliens already have that ability. So does this mean our future space pilots will be insects co-ordinating jumps to distant locations while the lowly human dines on caviar and whine while drooling in front of the tele-screen showing jwow and snickers bitchin bout salaries or maybe mob boss wifes pushin and shoving each other for the best lighting while on camera. Maybe, are you smarter than a two year old will be the hit amongst adult drones who no longer think in logical terms or use the mind to walk or reach or talk or, hey wait a minute, they had a song like that called in the year twenty five twenty five.

lol I didn't understand about half of that...but I do think humans have these capabilities as well. Unfortunately all of the static energies around us from EMFs and a dormancy in some of genes cause most to be oblivious to it!

Re: Insects Found to Use Stars (Milky Way) for Orientation
Khepri (also spelled Khepera, Kheper, Khepra, Chepri) is a god in ancient Egyptian religion. Khepri was connected with the scarab beetle (kheprer), because the scarab rolls balls of dung across the ground, an act that the Egyptians saw as a symbol of the forces that move the sun across the sky. Khepri was thus a solar deity. Young dung beetles, having been laid as eggs within the dung ball, emerge from it fully formed. Therefore, Khepri also represented creation and rebirth, and he was specifically connected with the rising sun and the mythical creation of the world. The Egyptian connected his name with the Egyptian language verb kheper, meaning "develop" or "come into being".

There was no cult devoted to Khepri, and he was largely subordinate to the greater sun god Ra. Often, Khepri and another solar deity, Atum, were seen as aspects of Ra: Khepri was the morning sun, Ra was the midday sun, and Atum was the sun in the evening.

Khepri was principally depicted as a scarab beetle, though in some tomb paintings and funerary papyri he is represented as a human male with a scarab as a head. He is also depicted as a scarab in a solar barque held aloft by Nun. The scarab amulets that the Egyptians used as jewelry and as seals represent Khepri

Still, that got us thinking: Just how much do all those other nebulas actually resemble their biological namesakes? In this gallery, we take a side-by-side comparison of animal-shaped nebula and their animal doppelgangers. Please let us know which ones are most (or least) deserving of their titles and whether you can think of a better alternative in the comments.

OFF TOPIC im sorry but im a roll and thought you might like this

did you know

Galaxy's centre tastes of raspberries and smells of rum, say astronomers

The hunt for chemicals in deep space that could seed life on other planets has yielded a large, fruity molecule
Astronomers searching for the building blocks of life in a giant dust cloud at the heart of the Milky Way have concluded that it would taste vaguely of raspberries.

The unanticipated discovery follows years of work by astronomers who trained their 30m radio telescope on the enormous ball of dust and gas in the hope of spotting complex molecules that are vital for life.

Finding amino acids in interstellar space is a Holy Grail for astrobiologists, as this would raise the possibility of life emerging on other planets after being seeded with the molecules.

In the latest survey, astronomers sifted through thousands of signals from Sagittarius B2, a vast dust cloud at the centre of our galaxy. While they failed to find evidence for amino acids, they did find a substance called ethyl formate, the chemical responsible for the flavour of raspberries.

absolutely...I am of a firm belief that we are in a 'remembering' process per se. As the energies increase around us, it can have a very real impact on our DNA (antennae) and possibly impact those genes that perhaps were once expressed at a higher rate.
