Happening Tonight ~ The Blood-Supermoon Eclipse & the Closing of the Great Window (When to see, and what it Means!)

You can find a lot of information about the Eclipse happening tonight across the web, there is a lot of information out there from many different sources. I’m going to do my best to consolidate all of it here in one place, and show you where to go to learn more.

What is it?

The significance of this celestial event tonight is the rarity of all of these different items happening at once. These are the Supermoon, Blood-Moon, and Eclipse phenomenon. For those interested in the prophecies connected with this event, scroll down past the diagrams. For those new to the subject, here’s a brief description of each! You can click the titles for more information on each of them.

supermoonimageSupermoon -The Moon appears slightly bigger than average because of the rotation and orbits between the moon and the earth. We only see a perfect full-moon supermoon once every (roughly) 14 full moons, however because of the constant orbit around the earth, there may be as many as 3 supermoons in any given full moon cycle. They’re just not full, sometimes you don’t even see it because it happens on a new moon.

Eclipse – There are two kinds of eclipses, Solar and Lunar Eclipses. What we’re talking about here is a Lunar Eclipse, when the light from the Sun is blocked from reflecting the light of the full moon, but the moon still appears visible (Images below). While not all eclipses are blood-moons, typically they do make the moon appear slightly red… So then, what is a blood moon? I’m glad you asked!!

lunar-eclipse-december-2010-nasa-keithburnsBlood Moon – The Blood Moon used to be a name describing a total Lunar Eclipse, which would make the moon appear red in the dimming of the reflection of the light from the sun combined with the shadow of the earth. However, in modern days it has become a widespread name in the media for a Tetrad of eclipses, when you see 4 blood moons in a row without any other eclipses happening between them.

There is actually a prophecy I’ve taken some time to write about below, regarding the 4 blood moons in a row and the end times of our great cycle.

When is it happening?

Obviously a great many of us will want to see this great event! Fortunately, some wonderful people across the interwebs have put together these great images describing the how, where and when. Take a look.

The Blood Moon Prophecy

Back in 2013 a book was published by Christian pastor John Hagee, who wrote about a prophecy from the book of Joel & Revelations. It was actually this book that popularized the term “Blood Moon” meaning the 4 successive deep-red moons in a row. Of course, it was not without many bible quotes:

supermoon3The sun will be turned to darkness, and the moon to blood before the great and dreadful day of the LORD comes.

If the ancients had truly seen a vision of the future, then one could observe these successive blood moons and connect them to these events that are happening today. Is any of it definitive? No, but the connections, along with the state of the human race currently truly paints a picture of what is to come (see next section for more).

Another interesting phenomenon (if you hadn’t noticed on that image above), is that every single one of these 4 successive and rare blood-moon events took place on a jewish holiday.

I don’t know about you, but that is a WILD synchronicity. Maybe there is something more to this.

What does “Closing of the Great Window” mean?

As it is embedded in the Mayan Calendar, the great window was a window of opportunity between (roughly) 2009 and 2015, in which December 21st, 2012 fell right in the smack middle of this window. During this time, Mankind had an opportunity to learn and grow with all of the information that had become available thanks to the internet.

high-speed-internet-connection

Information became widespread because it was at everyones fingertips for the first time in history, easier than it has ever been before in the infant stages of the world wide web. There was new discussion, new awakenings, and shifts that occurred in the hearts and minds of the many as they began to see the world in a new, more connected way. It was a brief, mini golden age of information.

KindConnections-franckreporter-lowrezWhile this information is no doubt not going anywhere anytime soon, it is also a signal of greater things to come. This is just the beginning for mankind, for we face the trials that we have set before ourselves. No, literally. We have set ourselves up for it by building technologies that are counter to our very existence. Meaning simply, they hurt us, pollute our bodies and limit our capacity to think clearly.

We have a bunch of trials to face, almost as if a test to see if we are fit to live on this planet, or if we will destroy ourselves in the process. The question is will we come to know the Consciousness of Christ through that special compassion only known in the heart? That is up to all of us.

Understand this is not an immediate danger or signal of the end of the world all at once, but a time of great caution, preparation, and using resources effectively and efficiently. Those who are wasteful will run out. If not beyond that – it is a time when we must practice true, genuine compassion with each other.

For that… and only that, is the way through.

What does it mean for you?

Here are some things I’ve read about this particular moon cycle we’re going through right now. This is some of the most helpful and insightful information I’ve been able to find, and I’ve highlighted the best parts for you.

The potential here is to harmonize the I and WE Consciousness. To embrace being assertive and cooperative so that all parties involved feel at peace and are honored as best as possible.

 “With this last Aries Blood Moon Total Lunar Eclipse, it’s time to integrate the endings, awakenings, transformations and death and rebirth experiences related to the balance of Self and Other, completing our initiation into a more balanced exchange between the masculine and feminine energies of life as well as between women and men.”

Cathy Pagano (click name for full article)

“First and foremost we want to dramatically change our relationship with ourselves- as anything we want or need or desire OUT THERE can only be fulfilled and truly experienced when we have found it IN HERE.

“Any relationships that are on solid footing are fine- you may experience things that rock your boat, but if your ship does not have holes in it and you are both willing to do the work to row to a safe harbor you will be fine.

“For others who have issues up and perhaps have large holes in their boat- this final Eclipse may be a time to think about whether those issues/holes can be fixed and if both people are willing to do the work necessary to fix them- or if it’s better to jump ship before you go down with it…”

In Closing

MEDITATE!!!!

(No really, slow down… calm down. Breathe, and Meditate)

I know personally that these past few weeks have been particularly trying and incredibly difficult. “God… How far will you test us?” I actually asked only the other day, both referencing Gurren Lagann and genuinely feeling the strain of “What do I do?!” 

All I can say is, trust in your heart. Listen to what your heart is telling you, listen to the heart of others… Grow from your mistakes, and above all else: Compassion.

Compassion is always the key. That means compassion for your loved ones, compassion for you, and compassion for others. Feel free to do a search on Spirit Science for articles about compassion. Here’s a particularly good one by Deepak Chopra. 

Here’s a video we made about just that.

Whatever awaits us moving forward, know that you are always in our hearts.

May great change take place. To a new era of peace and prosperity!

With love,

CERN proves that the Universe is in complete balance with itself

Do you ever think the odds of the universe are stacked against you?

Not so, says CERN, who with the help of researchers at Brazil’s São Paulo University (USP) and the University of Campinas, have demonstrated that the Universe itself is completely and wholly balanced in perfect symmetry with itself.

cernsnapThe study, more specifically, determined that there is a symmetry between the nuclei of particles and their antiparticles in terms of charge, parity, and time. The experiment one piece of an investigation to discover the differences between how protons and neutrons join in nuclei while their antiparticles form antinuclei.

“After the Big Bang, for every particle of matter an antiparticle was created. In particle physics, a very important question is whether all the laws of physics display a specific kind of symmetry known as CPT, and these measurements suggest that there is indeed a fundamental symmetry between nuclei and antinuclei,” said Marcelo Gameiro Munhoz, a professor at USP’s Physics Institute (IF), as quoted by Phys.org.

To learn more about the Science of this experiment, read here!

So, what does this experiment have to say about us, as people? How does this discovery relate to you as a person or an understanding of the more… unknown aspects of life?

Truthfully, this discovery actually lends credibility to the 7 concepts of Hermeticism. The demonstration that all things are in complete balance between a fundamental yin and a fundamental yang – a harmonious and synchronous breakdown from the large particles to the small particles and vice versa: As Above, So Below. 

hermesspiraloflightThe concepts of Hermeticism largely express the ebb and flow and pattern that all of reality is made up by. Cause and Effect. Vibration (Up and Down), Gender (Male and Female), and Rhythm (it naturally flows from one to the next). The practical application of these principles are endless to any seeker who explores the concepts as more than just ideas for the mind – but physical action to put into motion.

That means, if you want to know… Read this. And really go deep.

Of course, CERN nor any university will ever actually talk about that and so it’s up to people like us to talk about it and make it known! Even with all of the mess that we have created on this planet from CO2 pollution to draining the reservoirs of all of their water, the output matches the input. There is a grand equals sign right smack in the middle of the equation of why its all happening.

We did it to ourselves, engineered the whole thing happen from the biggest fractals to the smallest… and the moment we fix it, it will be fixed. And of course, until then… Lets enjoy the ride.

This Company with the Largest Food Index Wants To Sniff Out Our GMO’s

Clear Labs, a start-up company that sequences human genomes in clinical trials, has recently raised 6.5 million in a Series A Funding to create a molecular data index that includes allergen and contamination data in hopes to become the “google of food”

“Our aim is really to build this comprehensive database upon which we can make food indexable, searchable and with all the types of genetic analytics you can run on top of that,” Ghorashi said in a recent interview.

Researchers with Genetically Modified Corn

For the past two years, Clear Labs has been collecting samples in the United States and analyzing them for genetic collection. (1) The company now holds the worlds largest database of food genetic markers and it wants to use the data, to change how manufacturers manage the food supply.

Unlike other resources that monitor food contamination, Clear Labs aims to index all pre-made foods into their genomic database. Thus, seeking to create a future where food manufacturers can be proactive in food safety rather than reactive to outbreaks and recalls.

IT’S ALL ABOUT CHANGING THE PARADIGM FROM FOOD SAFETY TO FOOD QUALITY — SASAN AMINI

According to the Non GMO Project more than 80% of all packaged foods contain genetically modified ingredients, this putting the food industry in the under the microscope as a growing number of consumers distrust this new “frankenfood”.

A recent study estimates that 93% percent of Americans believe that food labels should be added to all genetically modified food and 57% say that they would not buy GMO food.

The debate now rages in Congress with the passing of a bill this month, that would cancel the requirement of labelling GMO Food Products. If the label war is lost, those who are opposed to the Bill, can look to Clear Labs for an answer.

Clear Labs, was established for food retailers and manufacturers who aim to keep close watch on the safety and integrity of their products and (2) by identifying the species of plants, animals, bacteria, and fungi in a sample, they can suss out the authenticity of an ingredient (whether the fish in those fish sticks is really what you think it is). They can also determine if food is contaminated with microbes, if the product contains allergen or has genetically modified ingredients.

The company itself will not hold an opinion of whether or not the food is “bad or good”, their vision, is a future where you can use your smart phone to scan the bar-code label of a product in the grocery store, to see the molecular data.The co-founders are hoping for a consumer application to be released to the public within 5-7 years.

5 Ways To Create The Bridge Between Science & Spirituality

Since the dawn of ages, throughout cultures and civilizations, there have always been those who were considered enlightened. Prophets, Messiah’s and Sages throughout the ages, were able to tap into the eternal energy of the universe. Bringing forth ancient wisdom of the cosmos and creation. Bestowing upon all who would listen, the understanding of our very existence. Some were ridiculed and others were murdered for what seemed to be at the time, irrational views.

jesusTake for example Jesus Christ. He was known to be one of the most radical of enlightened masters in history. To onlookers, a man walking around telling everyone that he was the son of God, would have seemed so irrational and ‘blasphemous’ that just by speaking the words ‘I and my father we are one’ had already had made him a prime subject for public scrutiny.

In the life and times of Buddha (Siddhartha Gautama), we understand that his teachings were very radical, in the sense that they did not fall into the mainstream of Buddhist regime. This lead to his closest disciples writing down accounts of his teachings and hiding away many of his direct works, prior to Buddha being poisoned to death.

Thankfully, we are at the point in history where through advancement of technology and scientific observation, we can finally bridge the gap between spiritual philosophy and scientific reality. Continue reading

6 Ways Processed Food Can Damage Your Brain

  1. Junk Food is designed to seamlessly hack your brain chemicals

‘Serotonin hack’ – Junk Food is shamelessly taming & abusing your brain chemicals, especially the good – happy ones – Serotonin & Dopamine. Giant food corporations end up spending millions of dollars in researching the most addictive level of crunch in the French fries and the right amount of salt-sugar combination so that you can have a sudden rush or flood of serotonin in your brain.

brain on food cover

Serotonin rush is a ‘high’. A high that suddenly elevates your mood & makes you feel better emotionally. You end up emotional eating. And unlike Endorphins or Anandamide-induced ‘high’, a Serotonin-induced high doesn’t last long. So your brain desires more of that; ending in a perpetual cycle to crave for unhealthy junk food.

‘Memory response hack’ – After a really stressed out day atwork, your Serotonin levels were really low causing you to feel withdrawal or anxiety and sending you in search of food. What better than junk food that gets you chemically high? You eat a very satisfying burger meal. Your brain suddenly starts feeling so good. And you are trapped in a ‘memory response’ hack now. Whenever you will smell, see, hear or read about that particular food, your brain will trigger those happy memory responses that came when you ate it; ending in a perpetual cycle to crave for unhealthy junk food.

Artificial Leaf Capable Of Producing Oxygen Could Help Us With Long-Term Space Travel

Thanks to graduate student Julian Melchiorri, long-term space travel could soon be a reality. Melchiorri worked with Dezeen and MINI Frontiers to produce the Silk Leaf, an invention capable of sustaining life.

The Silk Leaf is a synthetic biological leaf that will absorb water and carbon dioxide and produce oxygen similar to the way a plant does. It was developed through Melchiorri’s Design Engineering course in collaboration with the Tufts University silk lab. As Gizmodo shares, the leaves consist of chloroplasts suspended in a cast made out of silk proteins.

“I extracted chloroplasts from plant cells and placed them inside this silk protein. As an outcome I have the first photosynthetic material that is living and breathing as a leaf does,” Melchiorri said.

The designer notes that he was inspired from the beginning to build off of nature’s own system and take advantage of a proven method.

The cool thing about the invention  is that it won’t just be handy for exploring the far reaches of the galaxy, it could be used on Earth to purify air and produce more oxygen.
