2012 Pole Shift Caused by Ice Melt?

I recently saw the Public Broadcasting Station‘s shocking but beautiful documentary, Extreme Ice. Dazzling photographs of illustrate the possibly irreversible melting of crucial glaciers at the earth’s poles. Could this meltdown of the ice lead to a pole shift as predicted by Edgar Cayce? I vaguely remember reading in the foreword of one of Immanuel Velikovsky‘s books something about a shift in the ice at the poles possibly causing the earth’s crust to shift over our planet’s core like the rind over the inside of an orange. Could this be the 2012 cataclysm?

2012 Warning Doesn’t Make Sense

Here’s a quote that doesn’t make sense. It says that our solar system will be below the Milky Way Galaxy. That’s impossible since the Solar System – our sun, earth, moon, and the planets – are part of the Milky Way Galaxy. We are IN the Milky Way Galaxy. We cannot be below it. We are tiny. All the stars you see at night surrounding us are also in the Milky Way Galaxy, which is huge. For us to be below the Milky Way, we would have to be out in space without stars surrounding us.

The Milky Way Galaxy is our home galaxy. To say that the Solar System would be below and out of the Milky Way Galaxy is as absurd as saying that a waterlily would not be in a pond.

Here’s the quote from 2012 Warning:

The sun, earth, and milky way will align at the galactic equator, on December 21, 2012, the winter solstice, the shortest day of the year, and the end of the Mayan calendar. This only happens every 25,800 years! For the first time in recorded history, our entire solar system will move BELOW the milky way galaxy. These combined cosmic events, will be the end of the world as we know it.

Divers Study Bimini Road

Here’s a blog report of a snorkelling trip to the “road” from the Lost City of Atlantis off the coast of Bimini Island.

With a nod to the affirmative, snorkellers zipped tight into wetsuits are ready to slip into the sea in search of the Lost City of Atlantis.

Since the 1970s when a prediction made by American psychic Edgar Cayce in the 1930s appeared to be realized, the site has been explored by thousands of divers, scientists and TV crews.

Fantastic Temple Grandin Movie

I just saw the move, Temple Grandin, about the amazing autistic woman who wrote, Thinking in Pictures. I had already read the book and found it fantastic. The movie added information about her childhood and brought alive her many challenges. I especially resonated with the movie because all of us are challenged in one way or another. Her story gives so much hope.

An American Bimbo in Yucatan

This is a great book, An American Bimbo in Yucatan, which my publishing company, SunTopaz LLC, will be publishing soon. However, I wonder about the title. It is a fantastic true story of a woman from Oregon who moves to Yucatan, meets and marries a Mayan man, and has lived in a Mayan village for the last 19 years.

I fear the “American Bimbo” in the title sounds too much like a clueless, ignorant, unkind blonde disrepecting the Mayan people. In reality, she is very grateful for all she has learned from the Mayan villagers.

But, she is blonde and she did start out pretty clueless. Maybe a better title would be “An Oregon Bimbo in Yucatan.” What do you think?

Winter Star Party a Great Success!

Sad to say, the Winter Star Party is over. However, we had great viewing on our last night, in spite of clear sky reports to the contrary. Because of this year’s cold weather in the Florida Keys, many amateur astronomers had left, giving those of us remaining, the pick of the places to set up our telescopes. Actually, because it was so windy, the most sheltered spots were the best. And, to tell you the truth, many of us spent much of the night visiting with each other knowing that we wouldn’t see each other until next year. I feel happy to be part of this group. And, since I had the digital photos of the Galactic Center that I had came to take, it was easy to relax and reminisce about the week. I will be using the photos in my movie investigating the 2012 phenomenon.

2012 Galactic Center Photos

I am happy to say that I managed to get two wonderful photographs of the Galactic Center a couple of mornings ago, here in the Florida Keys. The weather for this year’s Winter Star Party has not been easy. Many nights, the skies are clouded over. However, on two nights, which also happened to be bitterly cold and windy, we had clear skies right to the horizon! Usually, the night sky over the horizon is hazy because of the surrounding water.
Fantastic! Especially since the Galactic Center rises out of the ocean on the southeast horizon at about 5:00 a.m. Unfortunatley, a sliver of the old moon was rising just behind the Galactic Center. Nevertheless, with my trusty Nikon set to take 30 second exposures, I did get both a horizontal and vertical image that, with Nikon’s Capture NX2 software, I was able to resolve a great photograph of the star constellations of Sagittarius and Scorpio surrouding the Galactic Center. Many people believe that the line up of the earth and sun with the Galactic Center herald a new world on December 21, 2012.

2010 Winter Star Party

We’re on the way to this year’s Winter Star Party in the Florida Keys. It is sponsored by the Southern Cross Astronomical Society. I hope to get better photographs of the Galactic Center for my 2012 movie. However, right now, it doesn’t look good. Lots of cloud cover.

Yucatan, One of Top Three Spiritual Travel Destinations

I like this excerpt because it implies that Yucatan is one of the top three destinations for spiritual travel, on a level with the Vatican and Egypt:

“In these modern times, traveling for spiritual reasons has become more popular and there are numerous options to choose from that include going to places other than Yucatan, the Vatican and also Egypt.”

— You Get the Gist of It: Transforming Lives Through Knowledge

As director of the Yucatan Travel Movie, I feel encouraged for the movie’s success.

Lord of the Rings Past Lives

I saw Peter Jackson’s marvelous Lord of the Rings, Return of the King, again last night and wondered how much of our resonance with the J.R.R. Tolkien story comes from past life memories of our time during the Middle Ages. But also, with the immortal elves and the evil orcs, I wonder if our fascination with the Trilogy of the Rings harkens even further back to the time when we were immortal, during the time before death when we were in Atlantis.
