Mercury Retrograde right now in Aries!

You do realize we’re in Mercury Retrograde right now! It started yesterday, March 30th and will go until April 22nd with residual effects continuing until May 11th.

As usual, during Merc Retro periods, the emphasis is on difficulties with communications, transportation, and making decisions, especially relating to business matters. The suggestion is to refrain from starting major projects from the ground up at this time. If you’ve already started something, go ahead, continue, but realize you may feel fuzzy-headed about decisions you have to make. Just take it easy, slow down, relax.

Kachina Houska at Dimensional Bliss suggests that because this particular Mercury Retrograde is entirely within Aries, unlike some relatively benign Merc Retro periods, this one could create quite a few problems. She admonishes us to stay away from volatile people.

Will Atlantis, like Troy, be found?

On March 27th, the Discovery Channel aired a Canadian documentary Finding Atlantis. It reminded viewers that at one time the story of the ancient city of Troy was thought to be a myth. However, its recent discovery in Turkey, has inspired archeologists and explorers to keep looking for Atlantis.

Submerged ruins off the coast of Japan could be Mu

An online article at Mystic Travel, Cayce prediction Japan will sink into the Ocean and the Lost city of Mu, says that off shore ruins at Yoniguni, Japan, include pyramid 25 meters tall and that they could be ruins of the lost continent of Lemuria Mu:

In the past years there has been discovered the Yoniguni formations. Underneath the sea close to Japan has been found huge stone pyramid structure. The pyramid rises from a depth of 25 meters. Some scientists suspect is the lost city of Mu.

Another fantastic site for Atlantis images

Here’s another website I just found that has fantastic images of Atlantis. My favourite is a map of the earth with Atlantis in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. The images are at Pics Fr (Pix Fr).

Atlantis photos and backgrounds

Here’s a great website connect.in.com that has 20 pages of Atlantis imagery. Check it out!

Margaret Mead Inspirational Quote

The following inspirational quote from Margaret Mead has special significance for me, because it reminds me of my experiences on Toronto Island when a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens saved the Toronto Island community. I was part of that group, and I wrote about my experiences, in the chapter “A Message from Pan” in my book When We Were Gods: Insights on Atlantis, Past Lives, Angelic Beings of Light and Spiritual Awakening:

“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.”
~ Margaret Mead

Spring is sprung!

Although it is not technically spring yet, nonetheless, the days have been lovely and filled with sunshine, blue skies, and fresh breezes. It reminds me of a poem from my childhood:

“Spring is sprung,
Da grass is riz,
I wonder where da boidies is.”

“Da boid is on da wing.”

“Dat’s funny. I thought da wing was on da boid.”

Yes, I know … silly, silly. It must have been some early television comedy routine. Oh well, we all need a bit of silly every once in a while.

Excellent website on climate change has been removed

If you’re wondering what happened to the scientific chart of “Deep Ocean Temperatures During the Last 100 Million Years” which was posted on this blog on March 8th, I just checked out the website where the photo was linked from and saw the following:

The www.ace.mmu.ac.uk website has been removed as it is no longer being maintained.

What a pity! It was an excellent diagram and a fantastic website full of information on climate change over the millennia.

Atlantis found in Spain online video

If you, like I, do not have access to the National Geographic channel, you missed the special on the team of scientists led by University of Hartford Professor Richard Freund on Sunday, March 13th.

Fortunately, you can view a preview of the program at this online article, Team may have found lost city of Atlantis.

Deep Ocean Temperatures used to be 10 to 15 degrees warmer

My March 8th post shows a chart illustrating deep ocean temperatures for the last 100 million years. At the website Global Climate Change Student Guide, the original home of the chart, I also found the following excerpt comparing prehistoric deep ocean temperatures with today:

… evidence from oxygen isotope records (Douglas & Woodruff, 1981) revealed that deep sea ocean temperatures were at least 10°C to 15°C warmer than they are today (see Figure 5.6). Early Cenozoic sea surface temperatures around Antarctica were also considerably warmer than today (Shackleton & Kennet, 1975) .

The early Eocene (55 to 50Ma) was the warmest period during the Cenozoic. Various climatic indices suggest that tropical conditions extended 10° to 15° of latitude poleward of their present limits.
