Climate Is All About Water

Water is Moon [Feminine] .. Fire is Sun [Masculine]
Water and Fire are ONE ...

What I want to share with you is kind of complex .. but I will try to make it as simple as possible. Water is CLIMATE .. and climate is all about water !! That is as simple as it gets .. but people on this Earth today do not understand it. I will simplify it even more #_*

The physical human body is mostly water!

The fire element [heart and blood / chi] is also mostly water and depends on water to pass the fire element [life] throughout the physical body structures. So .. your body and the fire element depends on water for life. Surprise! Surprise!

Your body has heat .. and water cools .. regulates and manages the heat. Fire element is life .. but without water [cooling element] life cannot exist in its current physical form on Planet Earth. Simply apply the same principles to climate.

Volcanoes .. magma .. fire and heat exist on Earth contained by WATER. DUH ??

Water is ice .. and ice contains glacial volcanoes affecting their behaviour. In fact .. fire and water act together in harmony to keep balance of life on Earth. As in your body so it is on Earth. Human physical body does the same! The Earth maintains heat vapor balance in the same way your body does. But the Earth came first and your physical body is based on [and depends on] those same principles.

Climate Is All About Water
Ongoing volcanic cycles are related to regulation of the Earth's climate. Volcanoes act in a similar way to the physical human body. Cooling cycles to maintain a balanced temperature .. sweat .. maintaining inner tissue moisture and balancing heat / cool [fire water].

Bone structures are both fire and water. It is the secret of the Universe.

One example of the Planet regulating and balancing climate can be seen over hundreds of years observing inter glacial volcanoes [fire and ice] working together [yin / yang] to create balance. Eruptions [fire] combines with ice [water] to send moisture into the atmosphere. This is a slow process!

The fire and ice explosions alter the water [moisture] in the atmosphere in relation to the water on Earth [oceans mainly]. This is all about water balance. Climate is all about water balance. Water is related to oxygen .. but that is another story.

Contained within the water [volcanic moisture vapor] is fire! You have the fire in the water vapor. In terms of yin and yang you always balance fire in water [moisture] and the water in fire [heat]. Everything on Earth is related to heat / cooling balance.

The point I am trying to make is: Earth knows what she is doing!

Just as your physical body is designed to regulate temperature and cooling .. so too is the Earth designed to regulate temperature and cooling. The aspects to study in the future are water and the relationship of water and fire. It is a balance .. even though water is the more powerful force in this Universe.

Stop and think about this .. water is the dominant most powerful force and yet it is in balance with fire. If you meditate then this is really a truly powerful force. To create balance requires true power even when you are more powerful than your opponent.

Going back to Iceland's Bárðarbunga [recent eruption] .. intelligent fire and water [ice] work together to regulate eruptions or fissures and all of this is related to climate. It is the same intelligent process going on in your body. Only .. the Earth lives longer than incarnate humans!

True power creates balance.

The feminine does not fight to crush but absorb. That can take thousands of years. The more powerful force will never overcome the lesser force. The more powerful force will always create balance. The weaker force seeks to fight because it has no real power. The weaker force destroys [exhausts] itself.

So .. you have an eruption [fire] that is contained by cooling element [water].

We all live in a water environment. We are all contained by a water environment. The upper and lower atmosphere of Earth is water. Air is water. Breathing is water. You don't have air without water. You don't have fire without water. The human brain is 75 percent water !!

The real key to climate is water ...

Here it gets kind of complex because the water in the oceans and lakes and river and deep underground sources and the water in the atmosphere are all one. It is all one body of water .. just like the Universe. Water is one entire communications network without borders.

Volcanic Masters of Water [Alchemy]

In a future life .. I fly anti-gravity sky disks #_*

Okay! So: The future is the present .. is the past!

To understand volcanoes and their relation to "climate" .. you have to somehow understand the past - the present and the future. How do you understand the future? You understand by observing the past [geology] .. by observing the present [your life incarnation timeline] .. and this helps you understand the future. Essentially .. the signature of the future exists now.

Why are volcanoes [fire] the Masters of Water?

Fire and water are related .. but science does not understand this relationship. In the future we will have to understand the yin yang relationship of the elements fire and water .. understand the relationship of masculine and feminine .. of positive and negative and magnetism = the four directions.

Water is very important to mankind and fire is very important to mankind. All life forms on Earth are a precise combination of fire and water! Life is a precise combination of water and fire... Water and fire have the same origins. There is water in fire and there is fire in water.

Volcanoes: Masters of The Future
North America was once covered in a gigantic sheet of ice .. covered in absolutely giant glaciers that we call The Ice Age. All this ice melted to create the world we know today. How did all that ice melt without an industrialized world and cars and greenhouse gasses ??

Planet Earth is a living beyond intelligent life system .. of which volcanoes are a part. Volcanoes and volcanic activity are not only about heat fire and intense pressure! Volcanoes are also about ice .. water and life!

Volcanoes create more life than they destroy!

In the icy Northern hemisphere [Iceland / Alaska / Kamchatka Peninsula] active volcanoes [eruptions] combine frozen glacial surface water with deep underground fire [magma] and deep underground water vents. Yin is the female force .. the Moon [Water]. Yang is the Male force .. the Sun [fire].

On Earth fire and water combine to create life on this Planet.

When volcanoes in Iceland erupt there is an intelligent combination of water and fire .. of fire and water. Ice .. fire and deep underground water all expand out into the lower and upper Earth atmosphere. This activity is not an ACCIDENT.

Within the Sun there is water and within the hot magma there is water [life].

Yin and yang .. hot and cool .. is part of one unified process throughout the whole Universe. Also .. in the Universe there are hot star clouds surrounded by cool [water] dark matter. The cool dark matter [water] contains the vibrant fire of hot star clouds and Suns...

Here on Earth the same process is taking place as in the deep space Universe. As above .. so below! Volcanoes .. glacial ice and deep underground water sources play the same intricate game as the deep space Universe. The same process is going on within human beings: Heat / fire .. cool/ water.

You have to observe and understand your yin and yang forces!

Volcanoes are the MASTERS of WATER ...

If you can put your mind deep underground! There is an unending process of deep relationship between explosive fire / heat [magma] .. and water [surface ice] but also deep underground water. Under the surface of the Earth there are magma vets and there are powerful water channels.

Why do they exist?

Just as male and female create life .. fire and water create life!

Volcanic glacial eruptions on Iceland will [over time] alter the Earth's climate .. the same as your body !! You are maybe not aware of the ongoing intelligent temperature process within your own body that regulates your health? Your body regulates its temperature in relation to the Planet you live on!

When there is glacial volcanic activity [eruptions] on Iceland .. you are talking about deep underground water vents as well as heat / explosive magma combining with surface ice glaciers .. all of which are sent out into the Earth's atmosphere as heat water and gas.

I have a deeper level I want to go into later related to climatic balance.

This is the combination of heat [fire] and oxygen [ water] balance.

Bárðarbunga's Volcanic Bunga Bunga

Not bunga bunga .. but Baroar-bunga #_* ... Scottish joke !!

Recently I see all kinds of hysterical bunga bunga in the media about the immenent eruption of Iceland's subglacial stratovolcano Bárðarbunga situated in the Vatnajokull glacier .. in the southern part of Iceland. I imagine most of the people producing the BARDARBUNGA media-bunga not only do not know what a stratovolcano is .. but they probably do not have any clue what subglacial means!

I am going to use this post to show you = always stay calm .. find your inner center .. listen within .. suspend judgement .. create space in time and apply Inner AIKIDO [peace]. I am going to show you the line between excitement and calm observation of the facts. The human brain and the nervous systems get damaged though too much EXCITEMENT !!

Iceland's Bárðarbunga: The Facts
If you have a sense of humor one could say that seismic Baroarbunga activity is a sign of volcanic bunga bunga .. and I tell you why! Iceland's Baroarbunga eruption vent fissures interact below the surface with Grimsvotn and this is why I say volcanic tremors and earthquakes [movements of underground magma] can be a sign of Icelandic interglacial bunga bunga *_*

Historically .. a strong earthquake in Bararbunga could have started the eruption in Gjálp. In 2010 a similar earthquake swarm took place in Bararbunga: On September 26, 2010 an earthquake swarm was recorded with over 30 earthquakes. This is some quick research I did because I know that in general volcanoes have very similar regular cycles.

Unless there is a catastrophic eruption [that I suspect are related to comet strikes or meteors / asteroids hitting the Earth] .. in general volcanic cycles appear to follow the Sun and the Earth's seasonal orbits around the Sun. Historically active volcanoes like certain months and some appear to have 100 year cycles to thousand(s) year cycles. Most volcanic eruptions are not catastrophic .. or humans would not survive on Earth!

Major volcano eruptions can be locally catastrophic [if you are living under an active volcano] .. but they are generally not landmass catastrophic or world wide catastrophic. Now .. I noticed that the recent August 2014 Bárðarbunga tremors and quakes seem to have set off volcanic tremors where around 1.200 earthquakes have been automatically detected under northwestern Vatnajökull.

What I am trying to say is [in a humorous way] is that these Icelandic subglacial volcanoes share a common deep underground magma vent sharing activity that is part of sustaining life on Earth. I may be wrong .. but I imagine that Bárðarbunga volcano is a pretty dangerous deal in terms of sudden long Earth span eruptions.

Over less dramatic time periods Iceland's Bárðarbunga stratovolcano is an integral part of a powerful and interrelated volcanic vent system that controls and shifts the movement of deep underground magma. Interestingly .. Grímsvötn erupted in 2011 .. I hate to gossip #_* .. but apparently [and keep this quiet .. okay] .. but apparently Grímsvötn, Bárdarbunga and Kverkfjöll subglacial centres have a shared Holocene volcanic activity beneath Vatnajökull, Iceland.

Always remember you heard it here first!
Interglacial volcanic .. Iclandic bunga bunga .. hidden beneath Vatnajökull !!

What does this mean in basic down to Earth terms? It means Grímsvötn and Bárdarbunga have a deep underground relationship [but don't tell Kverkfjöll] .. that could lead to eruptions! It also means that underground interglacial relations of the unknown kind are part of ongoing creation transformation of Iceland and probably Europe.

In general terms groups of volcanoes have big parties underground and sometimes [most of the time] the volcanic party is silent and very quiet and no one knows it is taking place. Now and then the volcanoes have a big party and they explode and there is a lot of noise and everyone locally gets affected and no one can sleep! Sometimes things get destroyed.

Compared to the danger of volcanoes / eruptions .. humans are like ants crawling on the surface of Earth. We are affected by volcanic activity + and - .. + = life on Earth .. rich soil .. abundance of life that grows from volcanic ash. Things can also get pretty dangerous from time to time and - = death destruction transformation and change.

I am suggesting that deep underground volcanic relationships are more important than the associated eruptions [that follow on later]. We currently do not understand the deep rift interconnected volcanic magma relationships .. because most of it takes place beyond our ability to comprehend.

On a future scientific level .. ability to remote-sense deep underground magma rifts and associations and activities do not allow for UNDERSTANDING. In the future volcanic rifts and magma flows are not elements of predicted eruptions or earthquakes. Something else is involved!

Actually .. ants can predict eruptions #_* .. but that is another story !!

Generally as volcanoes go Baroarbunga likes to set off other volcanoes and if it does not set of other volcanoes often nothing happens in terms of eruptions .. in general [so to speak] as volcanoes are very complex systems .. more complex than earthquakes. [Disclaimer .. I am not a specialist]

Volcanoes Can Take One by Surprise

Eyjafjallajokull
(almost the) 2010 Place of the Year

By Jan Zalasiewicz

Volcanoes can take one by surprise. That was the case with Mount St. Helens, that famously erupted sideways rather than upwards, and it was certainly so, two millennia back, when sleeping Vesuvius awoke to bury Pompeii and many of its citizens. Eyjafjallajokull may not have been quite so dramatic, but its effects, in tearing a large hole in our complex and delicate network of global airline communication, certainly rippled around the world.

To a geologist, the presence of a volcano on Iceland isn’t at all surprising. After all, Iceland is literally, and continuously, splitting apart, as this island sits exactly on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. That mighty planet-sized fracture is continuously oozing magma, as the Americas pull ever farther apart – by a couple of centimeters a year, maintained for over a hundred million years – from Africa and Europe.

What raised a few eyebrows, though (mine, for sure) was the sheer filthiness of the eruption, and the amount of ash that it hurled high into the atmosphere, to the alarm of airline companies just about everywhere. For volcanoes that sit astride mid-ocean ridges are by nature generally placid by nature. For sure, they produce what seem like spectacular firework displays for the TV cameras, and flowing lava can, here and there, play merry hell with real estate values.

This is nothing, though, compared to the paroxysmal eruptions – Krakatoa, Pinatubo and the like – that occur in those parts of the world where tectonic plates are colliding. The violence of such cataclysms can destroy a whole country (and even Krakatoa was small compared to the great eruptions of the deep geological past). So why was Eyjafjallajokull trying to behave like one of the bad boys?

One answer is ice. Lying far north, Iceland is a land not just of volcanoes but of glaciers too – one of which lies on top of Eyjafjallajokull. As the uprushing magma came into contact with this, the ice flashed into steam, the expansion of which added quite a bit of oomph to the eruption. The lava, in turn, rapidly chilled by the ice, solidified quickly as it emerged, the thermal stresses shattering it into countless tiny fragments. This produced lots of ash, to be carried high into the atmosphere in the steam-driven (turbo-charged, if you like) eruption plume. It’s a bit (only a bit, mind) like putting a lot of wet wood and leaves on to a bonfire. This was one smoky volcano, and it seriously annoyed the neighbours.

Volcanic ash, of course, is feared by airline pilots, and justifiably so. One of the scariest experiences in all of flight history took place in 1982 when a British Airways Boeing 747, carrying 263 people, flew into an ash cloud from an erupting Indonesian volcano, Mount Galunggung. Ash particles entered the jet engines, melted against the hot metal, and, in effect, clogged them with reconstituted magma. All four engines failed, and the airplane, now completely without power, began to plunge towards the Indian Ocean.

The pilots kept their nerve, and prepared to ditch into the sea, while at the same time trying to restart the engines. The attempts failed until, when just a few thousand meters above the sea, the engines – amazingly – coughed back into life. They were able to fly to Jakarta, and landed safely (though not without difficulty, as the windscreen was almost opaque through being sandblasted by the sharp ash particles).

They had been saved by the same phenomenon that made Eyjafjallajokull such a disruptive volcano: thermal shock. As the stricken airplane descended, the cold air rushing through the lifeless engines chilled the molten ash, freezing it into solid volcanic glass. The chilling was fast enough for thermal stresses to shatter this glass, causing enough of it to break off to allow the engines to re-start. It was a lucky squeak.

That was learning through experience, and it is not the kind of experience that anyone would like to repeat. Hence the caution over Eyjafjallajokull, and the determination to learn from the less dangerous form of experience that can be achieved by good, thoughtful science. Thus, can one specify just what levels of ash in the sky are dangerous? For that, of course, one needs to know as much as possible about the complex paths the ash particles take through the atmosphere, and how they are affected by the forces – turbulence, gravity, electrostatic effects – that act upon them.

One needs to understand the volcanoes better, too. Sitting next to Eyjafjallajokull is Katla. This is a bigger and potentially more threatening volcano that has, in the past, tended to erupt not long after its small and unpronounceable cousin. Will it do so again?

It’s a never-ending story, trying to understand this Earth of ours better, so that we can live more securely and happily upon it. What is certain, though, is that the surprises won’t stop. We’d better get used to that.

Grimsvötn Iceland 2004 Indian Ocean Quake Tsunami

In ancient times of the Vikings, Celts and the Gauls November, December to January were considered times of potential disaster. They had good reason to know that these three months could bring catastrophic change, because the times they lived in were a lot more unstable.

Our ancestors had knowledge and experience we have lost, because like Industrial Hemp fibers their knowledge was outlawed .. their knowledge was criminalized as being 'against God'. At that time suppression came from the laws of a single growing religious dominance spreading out across Europe.

In a rapidly changing world the people who knew what they knew were called 'pagans', ignorant and misguided. Earthquakes and volcanic eruptions became 'the will of God' rather than an astronomical event.

For at least the last thousands years humans experienced relatively calm temperate climates, less devastating earthquakes than those experienced in the distant past and less devastating volcanic eruptions than our early ancestors experienced. Gradually, people were told that their early ancestors were primitive, superstitious, pagan-god worshipers who knew nothing about the world they lived in.

Yet, all around Europe very ancient standing stones, dolmens and stonehenges mirror star alignments, marking the rising and the setting of the sun and cycles of the moon .. these are Archeoastronomy sites (many were destroyed), and they show another clue to the knowledge of our forefathers than told to us by ?? whoever made up the crap people are taught today.

It appears that the world is once more entering a long cycle of chaotic upheaval and sudden change, as was experienced by our early ancestors. If I am correct, then it would be a good idea to rediscover the ancient Archeo-astronomy and apply it to our experience, rather than become frozen with fear.

For example, if you knew that certain Earth Sun positions, at certain times of the year would increase the potential for devastating earthquakes and serious volcanic eruptions .. then that knowledge would become part of how you deal with the situation. It may even become part of how you prepare.

Thank you to the website Volkaner.no for triggering this realization. As I was reading the wealth of information they have gathered together, suddenly everything fell into place ..

Grimsvötn Iceland 2004 Indian Ocean Quake Tsunami
Iceland, November 2004 - Grimsvötn suddenly erupted .. The eruption started at the subglacial Grimsvotn volcano in the Vatnajokull ice cap on November 1st - with eruptions lasting five days.

Grimsvötn is considered Iceland's most active volcano, which will erupt once or twice every ten to fifteen years. The eruptions are not massive - nothing like Eyjafjallajokull and certainly not as dangerous as Katla. Grimsvötn could be viewed as an early-warning ..

Sumatra - December 26, 2004 .. an undersea megathrust earthquake struck the Indian Ocean. The magnitude 9.3 quake triggered a massive wave whose devasting tsunami killed tens of thousands of coastal dwellers in eleven countries bordering the Indian Ocean.

Apparently, these events were unrelated. Scientists claimed they were too far apart in terms of physical location and timing of activity to have any connection. Grimsvötn, Iceland erupts November 1, 2004 .. Sumatra in the Indian Ocean experiences an earthquake December 26, 2004 .. How can those events be related?

Stop and look at what is happening in 2010 and you may begin to see the relationship. The two areas once again show signs of activity in November; but it is the other way round and the events are closer together. This is why I suspect tilt of the Earth (season) as well as the position of the Earth and the Sun [perhaps the moon also].

We are looking again at 'quake tsunami' in Indonesia as Grimsvötn begins to show signs of activity in Iceland. On October 25, 2010 a magnitude 7.7 earthquake rattled the coast of Indonesia setting off a localised tsunami, while on October 25, 2010 Indonesia's Mount Merapi volcano erupts violently, has continued to erupt and is still erupting as I write. This is the 11th day of eruptions as significant earthquakes continue to rattle Indonesian waters with a magnitude 6.0 on November 3 and a magnitude 5.4 on November 4, 2010.

In Iceland around October 31, 2010 there have been indications that Grimsvötn volcano was becoming active again since its last eruptions in November 2004. Rivers show signs that ice is melting as a magnitude 3.0 earthquake wakens Grimsvötn .. 3 days later a magnitude 3.0 earthquake registered at Iceland's Katla volcano.

Here are two regions of the world showing signs of activity in November .. again .. so there has to be a relationship. That relationship is the hidden third factor. I think our early ancestors knew the 'third factor'. This is related to astronomical and Earth magnetic cycles as well as Sun magnetic cycles. Activity in Indonesia and activity in Iceland are not unrelated, because a third unseen principle is affecting these two locations beginning October/November.

This does not mean that every November-January period will bring catastrophic change or devastation. This does not mean that Grimsvötn in Iceland will erupt followed by some kind of earthquake or tsunami or disaster around the world by December/January. This simply means that here is a pattern, playing itself out in seasonal = astronomical cycles.

It means that understanding the pattern allows us to deal with the effects in a different way. Everything in this universe is related and we are a part of that relationship.

Earthquakes Serbia Turkey Indonesia Katla

A magnitude 6.0 earthquake struck off the coast of eastern Indonesia today. Western Turkey, was shaken by a 5.3 quake as a magnitude 5.6 earthquake partly destroyed buildings in Kraljevo, Serbia. Mount Merapi, Indonesia erupted violently as the strong earthquake shook the eastern side of the Islands off Papua province, setting off what has been the biggest eruption so far from the continually active Merapi volcano.

Iceland's biggest volcano, Katla added a magnitude 3.0 earthquake to the chorus of activity reverberating around the planet. An earthquake near iceland's biggest volcano Katla, has set off fears of an imminent eruption. Don't hold your breath, but Grímsvötn woke up Katla.

Grímsvötn awakens .. Usually in Iceland when the rivers start rising along with tremors that are unusual and a bit of flooding soon after a volcano erupts. This time it is Iceland's Grímsvötn, the volcano has not erupted but the other signs that something is happening shows. A few days ago the rivers started to flood, raising river levels in the area by around 30cm. Specifically one river in Gigja.

Glacier Melt In Iceland Hints At Volcanic Activity - RedOrbit

As we are seeing increasing volcanic activity - earthquake and tsunami scientists in Iceland began noticing signs of glacial melt around the sleeping Grímsvötn ===>

Scientists said Monday that torrents of water are pouring from a glacier that sits on Iceland's most active volcano, which indicates that the mountain is growing hotter and may be erupting soon.

University of Iceland geophysicist Pall Einarsson told the Associated Press (AP) on Monday that the flood which started Thursday at the Grimsvotn volcano is similar to the one in 2004 that lasted five days and ended with an eruption that disrupted European air traffic.


Not many people have picked up on this (as I write), but a few good sources are reporting on this hardly noticed - pretty serious - unfolding of events. The Iceland Review help us with an explanation of a 'Jökulhlaup' .. I think it's a sort of glacial hiccup .. What is a "Jökulhlaup"?

An earthquake of magnitude 3.0 on the Richter scale occurred underneath the Grímsfjall mountain in Vatnajökull on the night before first indications of the jökulhlaup were observed. [Read the article cos it is very informative. Thank you people of Iceland]

I gather that around October 31 a magnitude 3.0 earthquake woke up Grímsfjall mountain in Vatnajökull, and has since been answered by Katla with a magnitude 3.0 earthquake, 3 days later .. yes things are heating up on planet Earth. The Iceland Review inform us that Grímsvötn, a very active volcano that last erupted after the flood in November 2004, is now being closely monitored for an eruption.

ICELAND – AND THE rest of Europe – are on volcanic/ash cloud watch again. When meltwater began flooding from the glacial lake in the crater of Grimsvotn volcano on Iceland’s biggest glacier Vatnajokull yesterday, geological officials began to fear it might be about to erupt. [this article has some very pretty pictures]

Everyone is talking about either Grimsvötn volcano erupting or Katla volcano erupting .. but what if both of them erupt? Here is a good volcano updating site on the ongoing changes, Vulkaner. It seems that Grimsvötn likes to waken up in November, which is kind of interesting. I wonder if it could also be related to the seasonal positions of the Earth and the Sun. [ How silly of me '.) ]

Floating Platforms - In The Sky

In the dream I saw, 'high altitude platforms' floating above the planet. People would transit up to the platform, and work or rest while they waited for the Earth to rotate beneath them .. If engineers would build this today, you could transit up to the station platform, do your work up there, swim, rest, watch the stars or watch the Earth below - and when your destination arrives you transit back down .. sound good?

It was 2075, sixty-five years after the New Moon Eyjafjallajökull volcanic eruption. They were watching us from the future .. looking back into their past .. where we have thirty to forty years to build floating platforms - in the sky .. My first reaction was: We don't have access to the technology.

They were from the 'future' .. travelling back in time.

How many years does it take society to radically change? Forty years to move from lumbering, tear up the atmospheric projectiles - to floating platforms? It hardly seems possible. Yet, if our society can create such a revolution in travel, I am sure one of the floating platforms will be called 'Eyjafjallajökul'.

They invited me to observe their society and their way of life. Perhaps because the great smoking vapor of Eyjafjallajökul created the psychic seed needed to give birth to a totally new Intercontinental Hub. That is what people from the future call it, they called it a 'Hub' - floating platforms in the sky.

The people of the future did not fly across the Oceans, across continents, in projectile shaped composite materials. The skies of the future were as silent as the European April 2010, Eyjafjallajökul volcano ash skies. In this respect, one could look back and consider that the volcanic ash in Northern Viking Iceland, brought change within the consciousness - leading to the design of floating platforms.

The circular or disk shaped platforms floated high in the atmosphere, as people shuttled back and forth from the Earth's surface. Travel was gentle and slow, timed to the natural rotation of the Earth below. They said the larger platforms were 'cloaked', so as not to be viewed from the Earth's surface. The skies above cities were clear and peaceful.

"The platforms are highly popular," the guide explained, "people love them."

The massive 'Hubs' floated high above the Earth balancing within the planet's rotational field. Local inhabitants were easily transported to and from these International floating hubs, where the travelers waited for their Earth destination to arrive, based on the Earth's rotation. Land-hub connections were outside inhabited areas. This meant that human habitations were free of 'air travel'. How did they do this? Populations in the future are a lot less than today.

Perhaps people of the future seeded technologies into this era? However, their appraoch to life was also radically different. They said the floating hubs were very popular with travelers, where people could rest or work. Large oval shaped Earth viewing areas were built into the floors. Individual view areas were also build into the rooms. People could observe the stars overhead or they could view the Earth below.

The Hubs were areas of travel, a meeting space, as well as stationary study platforms where scientists, geophysicists, geologists and oceanographists worked. There was a gentle mixing of priorities between people. No one was going anywhere fast, and people in the future preferred it that way.

Rather than sit in an office and work, people transferred to the Hubs and worked as they waited for their Earth orbital destinations to arrive. The Hubs were International. There were no borders up there.

That's our future '-)

Tremors & Ash - Iceland Continues To Shake

Geologists have warned that new tremors under the volcano adds new unknowns to the ongoing eruptions. As the ash billowing from the Eyjafjallajökull appeared to lessen, powerful tremors were felt across the countryside.

Across Europe, the ash is slow moving. When you are dealing with volcanoes each sunrise reveals Nature's slow, precise, hour-by-hour progression. The skies are cloudless. As the sun rises the whitish density is thickening day-by-day and becoming a dull grey. This fine ash covering is all the way from Northern Scandinavia to the Southern French Mediterranean coast, heading across Greece, Turkey and forecast to reached the Middle East.

We have this incredibly slow moving ash building up concentration over most of Europe, and on the surface of the planet this flash in the pan fast moving society of humans are stunned. The much greater force of nature on a head to head with human society .. will probably bring change from way up there to our world down here.

It is tough for an animal that is used to doing what it wants, when it wants, and do it fast .. to be brought to a complete standstill. If the eruptions cease, maybe we can pretend we won - until the next eruption .. but what do we do if Katla erupts? What do we do if Eyjafjallajökull continues for months? I guess, we organise our lives differently.

Individual airlines and businesses will not survive long term disruption on this scale over longer periods. I imagine air travel will be organised in a different way, probably not run by companies for profit.

If you are a structural engineer you look at the weak point and find out where the bar bends or breaks. Air travel breaks at: "We are not making a profit". If we had a different reason for these services then maybe the bar would not break. If we had different values. Otherworld concepts like 'co-operation' come to mind.

In the 2010 Viking Sagas - the powerful invasion of the great warrior Eyjafjallajökul, defeated the spreading cultures of 'Life for Profit', and went on to father new communities of 'co-operation'. The Saga Writers may say: The people in the South had become so corrupt that Odin sent forth his youngest son, Eyjafjallajökul. The great Viking went forth at Odin's bidding to clear the ancient lands of the 'Profit' tribes, who had so debased the lives of his children that no one knew anymore who they could trust.

The people in the South laughed at the appearance of Odin's youngest son, Eyjafjallajökul .. although his might was great and his appearance covered all the land. Because of this arrogance Odin sent forth the great dragon Katla .. and the tribes in the South were met with guð og dreka [god and dragon] fighting side by side .. and the people for profit said: There is no hope! But the people of the heart said: Why is there no hope? We have cooperation to guide us.


This is how Sagas are written once the events unfold .. written by the societies who live through the event and adapt to the event, move with the cycle, are part of the force that alters who we are and how we live.

Some view Eyjafjallajökul as an annoyance, an inconvenience, while others see a Viking warrior in the skies bringing change - something new - the end of the dinosaurs. Is the volcanic ash to blame for our current situation? Or are we to blame, as everyone argues how to deal with this. Or is the problem the way we humans organise our lives, our society? Look at the 'only for profit' dinosaur .. it is already a fossil and only the first son, Eyjafjallajökul has crossed our borders.

Airlines Claim: "There Is No Ash Up There" :o)

News reports suggest pilots want to take off within European airspace and conduct low level flights, as airlines say they are 'unconvinced' by threat of volcanic dust clouds.

As the volcanic clouds thicken some pilots are asking, why can't we fly beneath it? The Dutch have sent a plane up and they claim, hey! There is no ash up there! On Saturday, German Lufthansa flew 10 empty long-haul planes to Frankfurt Airport from Munich. The pilots flew the planes at low altitude under so-called visual flight rules, in which pilots don’t have to rely on their instruments .. as the planes were empty with no passengers on board the flights were allowed. The Lufthansa planes flew at various levels between 3,000 and 8,000 metres.

I don't find that funny .. how can you have pilots from all over the world taking off over Europe and flying between 3,000 and 8,000 meters following visual flight rules, with no reliance on their instruments? Because if something does go wrong .. a crash would cost airlines less than the losses they are making not flying .. and that is a fact.

I surmise that National and International air routes all have their flight altitudes, their flight paths (take off and landing) and cruising flight corridors. A highly complex system set out over European airspace, that airlines have to follow, and that connect to International flight corridors and routes. On a technical level I imagine it is encoded into the autopilots of the planes, and is set as part of the flight system, with altitude regulation, connecting to the flight controller hubs - who have to regulate the air traffic.

Flights using visual flight rules, when landing, the incoming flight path is a lot lower than it normally is. Sending 7 planes in one direction when the whole airspace is clear of any other traffic, under low altitude flight using visual flight rules is not the same as resuming commercial flights across Europe .. and what if the weather changes en route?

Visual flight rules (VFR) are a set of regulations which allow a pilot to operate an aircraft in weather conditions generally clear enough to allow the pilot to see where the aircraft is going. [Wikipedia VFR]

Even better than that! "Visual Flight Rules require a pilot to be able to see outside the cockpit, to control the aircraft's altitude, navigate, and avoid obstacles and other aircraft."

I am sure there are Airlines, pilots and passengers who would take the risk and see what comes .. To avoid collisions, the VFR pilot is expected to "see and avoid" obstacles and other aircraft .. You have go to that link and read it all.

Rules governing flight during periods of generally good visibility and limited cloud cover (i.e., a pilot’s ability to fly and navigate by looking out the windows of the airplane). Aircraft flying under the VFR system are not required to be in contact with air traffic controllers and are responsible for their own separation from other aircraft. The visual flight rules (VFR) system is utilized almost exclusively by recreational pilots or low-flying piston-engine airplanes.

Airlines are said to be conducting test flights on 'ash cloud safety'. It's safe until one of them comes down. The flight issue seems to be the unknown question of where the ash is and where it is going - due to ongoing weather fluctuations and the fact that the ash is entering the same air routes aviation use to fly around.

This is the old situation between commerce, industry and safety. As we see, it is not economical to be 'safe', when facing a complex unknown. Businesses who rely on the whole flight industry are losing a lot of money. The flight industry are losing a lot of money. The latest news is that airlines are searching for a safe path through the volcanic ash '-)

The volcanic ash plume does not show up on the radar of commercial aircraft .. maybe the pilots can just look out the window and try to fly through it.

Smaug Woke Up ..

I am not a Vulcanologist, although I am not totally Volcanically illiterate - I know Mr. Spock (Star Trek) comes from Vulcan '-) .. and I have seen a volcano - I even climbed on one. It's called, Àrd-thir Suidhe [Gaelic] - Arthur's Seat - and is situated in Edinburgh, Scotland. Of course, it was (for me) a dangerous climb. I was told, "This is an extinct volcano." .. I thought .. who says it will stay extinct?

I read J.R.R. Tolkien's, The Hobbit! They once thought Smaug was extinct, until he woke up and started flying around! .. Leaving Arthur's friendly, slumbering extinct volcano behind, I happily climbed back to our here-we-are-now reality level, and formed my own Historical Philosophy.

As a kid I read everything I could find about the ancient world. I was fascinated by Troy, and disgusted by the Roman Empire - who blanketed Europe in a mono-linear cultural dictatorship that lasts until today. I was fascinated by the ancient world, its cultures and artifacts .. but our view of that world is a Disneyland version. If you cannot go there and see it, you do not really know what happened.

From the bits and pieces of clues I gathered, a pattern began to emerge (in my mind). I began to understand that Empires (civiisations) grow in times of abundance, when the Earth is relatively quiet. During times of chaotic upheaval in the earth's climate Empires and civilisations decline, or come to an end.

Most recently, the expansion of Europe into the other continents of the world, and the growth of America as the world's dominant power .. all took place in a quiet period where all out expansion and growth had no counterweight to it. Humans were just free to expand, cultivate, dig, extract, fly, increase populations .. which could be described as times-of-abundance. So, current generations generally know only unrestrained growth, unrestrained indulgence, take what you want, get what you can - the more the better.

The fact that the Katla sub-glacial volcano in Iceland has not erupted in the last 90 years, is an indicator that the 50 year eruption cycle was broken by this period of calm where human populations expanded unrestricted and unchallenged .. by nature.

Look all around you .. every species has its counterweight so that balance is maintained. Only when man interferes and introduces a non-natural species into a country, where there is no counterweight, do problems arise. In Australia rabbits (introduced by the Europeans) have become an 'invasive species', whose unchecked spread cause serious (and sometimes irreversible) ecological damage.

The counterweight to man is Nature itself. I don't think human populations will be left to grow unchecked. In 2010 we have inconvenient disruptions brought about by hurricanes, volcanic eruptions, flooding and severe storms. In the future the inconvenience is going to be man's counterweight.

As a species we are intelligent enough not to over-populate, but man overpopulates anyway. Doing what he wants, when he wants, in the way he wants has become an Alpha Dog signature of the dominant male and his dominant side-kick. It is a sign of power and prestige to breed as often and as many as you can, to dig as deep as you can and bring out more, to grow bigger and expand in food production, in food sales, in exports, in population, in success .. without thought and without end.

As I write there is an unprecedented cloudless hole over the skies of Germany and France. It has been like this since the Eyjafjallajökull eruption, as all air traffic ceased. Totally cloudless skies, I have never seen anything like it .. I often wondered, what would it be like to live on a planet where not one single plane crossed the sky? A planet where planes do not exist, and the skies are silent and peaceful. I imagined one would have to be born on another planet or live in another time to know the stillness of a sky without planes ..

"His fire belched forth, the hall smoked, he shook the mountain-roots. [...] He issued from the Gate, the waters rose in fierce whistling steam, and up he soared blazing into the air and settled on the mountain-top" - J.R.R. Tolkien, The Hobbit

Iceland's Katla Caldera Sub-glacial Volcano

Geophysicists are warning that Iceland's Eyjafjallajökull eruptions could potentially lead to a larger eruption of the Katla subglacial volcano. Eruptions at Eyjafjallajökull in 920, 1612 and in 1821, were followed by much larger eruptions at Katla.

In terms of volcanic explosions, the current activity at Eyjafjallajökull is considered by Vulcanologist as being relatively small. Nearby Katla is considered to be the most dangerous volcano on Iceland. From our perspective, as 'volcanically illiterate' observers, the only question is: When will it stop?

Probably, to a Vulcanologist, that is a very stupid question .. once a volcano is active and sending ash high into the atmosphere, eruptions can continue on and off for weeks, months or years. The last time Eyjafjallajökul erupted - in 1821 - activity continued until 1823. The Katla volcano is known to erupt every 40 to 50 years, and the last known eruption of Katla occurred in 1918.

Iceland's Katla is a volcanic caldera under a glacier .. at this point no one really knows will there be an eruption of Katla or not .. but assume there will be an associated eruption - the next question is: How bad can it get? Forget about European airspace, if the caldera erupts it will be a question, for the people of Iceland, of wind direction.

If the wind is stationary at the time of a Katla eruption the ash would fall on Iceland, and that could be a disaster for them. Obviously, they do not want a severe amount of ash to blow across Reykjavik and have a serious eruption cover farmland in ash, killing farm animals en mass - if the eruption was serious enough.

The fact that April 2010 Eyjafjallajökull eruption has blown across Europe and is being sucked East into the Jet Stream, means that the cloud of ash did not blow West across Iceland [out into the Atlantic]. Sat24 gives a birds-eye view of the volcanic ash flow across Europe.

Sitting under a ton of ice, if the Katla caldera explodes it will throw a massive amount of ice, water and steam out, and the water ash mix carries into the atmosphere (which is water friendly). The reason Earth does not look like Mars, is because the Earth's atmosphere is 'water friendly'. You have this dynamic living reaction taking place, one that seeded life on this planet .. and we are watching that process in tiny miniature each time a volcano erupts.

What do we do? The first reaction is, if only we could stop it. That is the wrong reaction. To stop this process now would be to create an even more destructive explosion later. You can delay it, but you cannot prevent it .. and so the first relationship with these environmental changes is to realise that the Earth knows what she is doing - just as simply as your heart knows how to beat.

The rational (scientific) mind questions that the Earth is a living conscious being, and they would say - how does the Earth know? The answer is, the Earth knows in the same way your body knows how to survive. It is a biological process on one level and a ecological psychic living biology on other levels. For example, what tells your blood to clot when you cut yourself? From the day you are born until the day you die, your heart beats. It is the same with the planet.

We humans, the animals, plants, insects, birds and fish come from the Earth - so how could our biological processes be different than the Earth's? It isn't different .. we are a biological miniature of the Planet we are born from and inhabit. The Earth just has bigger and longer cycles, heartbeats, blood flow, breathing of the atmosphere, pulse of the Ocean - over thousands of years, rather than minutes.

I think that this timeline - our space in the continuum - is not as bad as it could be. The Iceland eruptions could have been a lot worse .. they could have been devastating. I have seen probable futures a lot worse than the one we are living now. Therefore, people have nothing to complain about, even if they are stuck somewhere and unable to travel. We are fortunate these eruptions were as mild as they have been. We still have a chance. We are still navigating the currents of the past, into the present and part of the future.

It is wrong thinking to think that the current eruptions should come to an end now .. because, it is possible the Eyjafjallajökull eruptions, letting off pressure, letting off steam, are reducing the explosiveness of a potential Katla eruption.

As inconvenient as this may seem, and as frustrating as it may seem, it could be a lot worse. Eyjafjallajökull is gently, for a volcano, letting off steam. Just be aware that the Earth has the same body you do, only it is a lot bigger and supports all diversity of life. So, Katla may explode in the future - it will explode, no one knows when - but from the signs we are receiving .. we are lucky .. things are not as bad as they could be '-)

Eyjafjallajökull Volcano Changes Our Lives

Silent, peaceful, skies free of planes are called 'travel chaos' .. but down on the ground those under the flight paths and flight corridors have a new experience over their heads. There are no planes. The skies are silent. It's peaceful.

Late last night there were only stars in the night sky. All fights across Northern Europe were grounded. The 'chaos' may last for days, the effect may last for months. Faced with erupting Icelandic volcanoes and melting glaciers, Europe has gone strangely silent .. the steam and gas from the Eyjafjallajökull volcano fly high into the atmosphere .. changing our experience of life on Earth.

For those who are travelling, their movement through the air has come to a stop. The cloudless night sky was lit only with stars. The sun rose early this morning into a clear sky, covered with a very fine whitish haze. The sun is the only thing moving across the sky. We live in a changing world.

The Eyjafjallajökull volcano is one aspect of change that tells us we can no longer wake up in the morning and assume the day ahead will progress as we planned. Until this weekend our world was one of automatic assumptions, mechanical robot like movements, dependence on a system that worked like clockwork. We assume and take it all for granted.

There is much more to this event than volcanic ash and smoke. How we humans live on this planet is about to be altered in ways none of us can imagine. The key is how we adapt. Societies are going to have to reorganise. International communities are going to have to adapt to the changes ahead. These Earth Changes have nothing to do with the 'monkey brain' Global Warming science .. this is 'The Earth', this is the planet we live on.

You cannot put a global emissions tax on volcanoes .. can you? The Earth is a living gardener. Water, soil nutrients, conditions for growth, all it takes to support life and what it takes to decompose matter, return its structure to organic molecules and grow it again, is Earth. Part of the Earth's bio-active system are volcanoes, storms, hurricanes, flooding .. We are living under the roof of an eco-intelligent living biosphere, out of which we receive everything we have.

Just as a gardener may add nutrients to the soil or water the earth over days, weeks and months - the Earth also has cycles of activity, distributing minerals, watering vast areas, venting life into the atmosphere .. and if we lived 500 years it would make sense to us. The Earth's cycles of distribution and nutrition have 200 or 1,000 year spans. There are greater cycles of 10,000 - 26,000 and even greater cycles. We would need Time Travel viewing technology or Remote Viewing skills to understand that.

As people talk about chaos and disruption - expect more of it .. as we are entering an Earth cycle which manifests dramatic change over a longer period until things settle down and the garden starts to grow again. We live in a garden, travelling through space.

Northern Europe: Not A Plane In The Sky

With International Airports shut down across Europe, while waiting for the slow drifting volcanic ash from Iceland's Eyjafjallajökull volcano to cease and disperse .. today - Friday, April 16 is a day to remember .. cos there are no planes in the skies.

The last two or three days the Chemtrail spraying flights ceased, and today you can see they are not up there, because there are only blue skies and more blue skies .. and not one cloud, no haze, no long white chemlines, no flights taking off and no planes landing.

How peaceful it is.

Ocean scientists can study and observe the effects of shipping on life in the ocean. It is more difficult to assess the affect of non-stop activity in the skies over our heads with planes flying across the heavens at various altitudes. Our minds and our bodies adjust, we live with it and take it for granted. The flights never stop, and so how is one to know the general effect and what it would feel like to live without it?

Today, I know what it would be like to live without it .. it is fantastic .. I love it .. I now know the price we all pay having the skies over our heads crammed with those noisy giant polluting monsters. These are the skies of my childhood. The silent, still skies where you could lie in the summer grass and watch the heavens without a plane booming its presence across the heavens (one every minute).

I now understand, in the 60's there were not all these planes shooting back and forward across the skies. I now understand where the peace has gone. The silent skies I loved so much as a child. I now understand the price all of us pay to live under the spread of flight corridors, and landing corridors and take-off corridors, and how we adjust to ignore the planes crossing the skies day and night ..

I know this and can assess the damage .. because today - on this most wonderful day - it is not happening. The skies are clear, nothing moves up there, everything is silent and still. For the first time in a long time the blue sky is really blue.

On the lower horizon I can see a slightly darker haze that is not normally there (I watch the skies), and I assume this is why all flights have been cancelled. I can also say the gift this Icelandic volcano has give us .. as dangerous as they are .. the gift is priceless.

I now need some brilliant Tesla mind to create a Star Trek type transporter that allows trade to take place between countries without all these planes flying back and forwards across the sky. Maybe create a disk shaped craft that silently zips into hyperspace A and arrives at hyperspace B with no pollution, and no noise and no messing up the skies.

I used to be able to look up at the stars and see the stars. If you watch the stars late at night, you see blinking lights of planes all over the sky, in the North, South, East and West. So, tonight is going to be interesting .. at last I understand the price we all pay living under these moving flight corridors.

Volcanic Ash Begins Drift Across Europe

On March 20, the Iceland volcanic eruption at the Eyjafjallajoekull glacier - the first since 1821 - caused an evacuation of the small population living in the area. Now, more recently, the volcano began a more powerful eruption sequence spectacularly melting part of the glacier, and sending rivers of water crashing down to flood the land below.

We are living through spectacular times where nature does what nature does. Volcano's are part of the life support system of this planet. They seed life onto the planet, but when they are active it is not so good to be downwind of them ..

The New Moon April 14 eruption, sent explosive plumes of smoke and ash 6,000 meters into the air from fissures of the active Iceland volcano. A dense cloud of ash has begun drifting slowly over Northern Europe. A finer cloud is drifting South, down across Britain and eventually across Southern Europe.

Flights have been cancelled across Britain, as the fine ash can cause engine problems (seizure) in planes. Down on the ground the slowly drifting ash will probably cause a cooling of the weather, and if the volcano really erupts will potentially effect food production.

It was 1816, called "The Year Without Summer" .. low Solar activity and the largest eruption known in over 1,600 years - The Mount Tambora eruption of 1815. We humans can be very arrogant, and forget how vulnerable we are - how dependent we are on climate, water and stable weather patterns to grow our crops.

Everything we have today is built on our ability to feed ourselves, growing crops for food. You need water, but you do not really need energy as you can eat your food raw. Our technology, the way we live, our computers and transport systems depend on our ability to grow food and obtain water. People tend to forget that. We should show more respect to the Earth, because the planet provides us with everything we have and everything we need.

The volcanic ash and dust wont go away too fast. It is dense and slow moving, and I would imagine that changes from an eruption evolve across years - not days or weeks. The 1783 Laki eruption (South Iceland), sent 120 million tons of Sulphur Dioxide into the atmosphere, and across Europe. The meteorological impact of Laki resonated on, contributing significantly to several years of extreme weather in Europe. In North America, the winter of 1784 was the longest and one of the coldest on record.

The Vatnajökull glacier is Europe's largest glacier, with an area of 8300 square km and with an ice sheet up to 1000m thick. On March 23 MSNBC wrote, "Scientists say history has proven that when the Eyjafjallajokull volcano erupts, Katla follows — the only question is how soon." Experts are warning that these eruptions could go on for a long time.

Atmospheric cooling occurs when large amounts of Sulphur Dioxide from an eruption combine with water vapour, creating a sulphric acid mist that reflects sunlight away from the Earth. The April 14 eruption is inside the main Eyjafjallajokull crater and is much more powerful.

Authorities in Britain claimed Thursday that the volcanic ash clouds are so high in the upper atmosphere they will cause no health problems .. although residents in the Shetlands Isles, Scotland reported a strong sulphuric smell of rotten eggs .. maybe the Shetland Isles are not part of mainland Britain? I guess they're classed as Vikings.

Volcanic activity, from my own observations, are magnetic as well as what we observe in terms of spectacular eruptions, magma flow, clouds and ash. From what I am seeing, I would imagine that something much finer that we do not see flows out from an eruption altering the climate (weather) long before the slow moving ash spreads into the upper atmosphere. The only word that comes to mind is Aether, that mysterious force whose existence is denied by modern science.

Dense ash and dust clouds stopping flights and closing airports is the most obvious outcome of a large volcanic eruption, but there are finer mostly overlooked activities, electrical fields and kinetic energy oscillations. Therefore, do volcanoes when active show fluctuations in the Earth's magnetic field? The lava does not explode out, it bubbles and dances - reacting to something unseen.

I imagine that magnetic or Aether fluctuations / alterations precede the spread of ash into the upper atmosphere and out into the lower atmospheric streams. As matter (movement) is the visible form of energy (magnetic force), wind currents are energy .. something other than ash is being seeded into the atmosphere. The clouds of ash are the visible spectrum of that something else. [I have a good imagination]

Of course, layers of volcanic ash are going to suffocate pastures and any growing living matter nearby, and animal forms don't want to breath it in. However, long term the primordial nutrients from volcanoes nourish the soil - and the elements falling with the rain must also feed primordial nutrients into the soil, fertilising our planet.

Sadao Shoji and Tadashi Takahashi (Japan) reported in October 2002 that volcanic ash soils are among the most productive in the world. They concluded that, "With proper management volcanic ash soils are capable of high productivity and long term agricultural and environmental sustainability."

In the short term volcanic eruptions close to populated areas are either an inconvenience or they are a threat to life. In the long term this is one way planet Earth distributes nutrients for long term wealth of future generations. I am sure the ash must revitalise the earth, atmosphere and soil in some way .. cooling the planet, retaining water and increasing rain penetration, perhaps increasing water retention of the soil '-)
