Magnetic field of earth shifts westward

According to Charles H. Hapgood, in his The Path of the Pole, the magnetic field of the earth is in constant motion. It always drifts westward, as is the magnetic north pole described in articles about the closing of the Tampa airport runway. Hapgood assumes that the magnetic poles eventually come back to its original position, in line with the earth’s axis of rotation.

There are magnetic poles and geographical poles. They are seldom in the same place.

Is the present pole shift unusual? Will the poles reverse? Are we in the time before the 2012 cataclysm?

Is the magnetic pole shift a harbinger of 2012?

The recent articles on the Tampa airport needed to change their runway signs because of the magnetic pole shift leads a person to wonder: Could the present shift in the poles be connected with the 2012 phenomenon in which some people think that with the end of the Mayan Long Count Calendar on December 21, 2012, the world will also end.

According to a Mail Online article:

The latest changes are the most dramatic in a century – the pole had been begun moving to the northeast at about 9 miles per year in 1904 but since 2007 has been racing towards Siberia by at least 35 miles each year.

This could mean that prior to 1904 instruments had not yet been invented that could measure pole shift and that the poles had always been shifting. Therefore, if magnetic pole shift has occurred over the centuries and millennia, it would mean that it would not be associated with the 2012 phenomenon.

Shifting magnetic poles result in Tampa airport runway overhaul

Tampa International Airport has had to close its main runway for about a week because the compass directions painted on their main runway need to be changed.

The magnetic north pole, which is in the Canadian Arctic, is moving at the rate of 40 miles a year toward Russia. As a result, the compass headings on airport runways eventually do not represent the correct direction and the new compass directions are painted over the old ones.

Some people who think the shifting of the magnetic poles represents the end of the world associated with the upcoming end of the Mayan calendar on December 21, 2012.

The movement of iron in the molten earth’s core causes the shift of the earth’s magnetic poles. This has been going on long into our past. Because of the changes in the earth’s magnetic poles, airports regularly change the compass headings painted on their runways.

Was Atlantis originally called Atlas?

According to this comment in reply to the article Lost city of Atlantis ‘could be buried in southern Spain on the History.com web site:

The island of Atlas (reads Atlas in Greek; Atlantis is a British created word) was said to have founded the city of Athina, aka Athens. But it was said that the island became corrupt, so Athens fought against the island to gain its “independence” from it.

It makes sense that, if Athens was originally a colony of Atlantis/Atlas as was Egypt, the Athenians could have fought to gain independence from its homeland if Atlantis/Atlas became corrupt. There are historical events of this kind recorded in many parts of the world. There are also legends about the corruption in Atlantis so, yes, it makes sense.

Inspirational Quote from Edgar Cayce on Reincarnation

“Each soul or entity will and does return, or cycle, as does nature in its manifestations about man; thus leaving, making or presenting–as it were–those infallible, indelible truths that it –Life–is continuous.”

Could Atlantis have been Mu?

In the Top 10 Theories about the Lost City of Atlantis article on the Top Tenz website referred to in my last two blogs, there is also references to another mysterious lost continent named Mu. An excerpt from the above article says:

Mu is the name of a hypothetical continent that allegedly existed in either the Atlantic or Pacific Ocean, depending on who you listen to. In either case, it was thought to have disappeared at the dawn of human history, its survivors emigrating to other continents to serve as the foundation for a number of later civilizations throughout the world.

Was Atlantis actually a more temperate Antarctica?

The online article noted in yesterday’s post, Top 10 Theories About the Lost City of Atlantis, also refers to one of the most intriguing ideas to explain where Atlantis has gone. This is the suggestions that the earth’s crust shifted so that Atlantis drifted to the south pole where it froze over with ice to become the present-day continent of Antarctica. Check it out.

After the Snowstorm …

Unbelievably, after weather announcers proclaimed that we, in the mid-Atlantic region, are having the coldest winter in 30 years, today‘s outside temperature was 60 degrees Fahrenheit. In the previous weeks, we had overnight temperatures in the teens.

I guess 60 F is closer to normal because I remember a number of New Year’s Days at this temperature. One, we were strolling in a nylon jacket at the beach.

When We Were Gods to become a Kindle

I’m happy that I’m working to making my book, When We Were Gods an amazon Kindle. I’m especially happy because I will be able to categorize it as a 2012 prophecy book in the description.

Close ups of the orbs/snowflakes to compare with orb close up

Here are close ups of two of the orbs/snowflakes from the wintry scene nature photograph posted on this blog on December 27th. I magnified these “orbs” to see how they would compared with the orb picture close up posted yesterday. As you can see, yesterday’s orb has an internal border and internal organization. The close ups of the orbs or snowflakes do not. What do you think now? Are the following images orbs or snowflakes?

On the left, a close up of two “orbs” floating in the December 27th wintry scene. On the right, a close up of an “orb” photographed against a tree trunk.
