"In 1975, Dannion Brinkley was speaking on the telephone during a thunderstorm. A lightning bolt hit the phone line, sending thousands of volts of electricity through his head and body. His heart stopped and at the hospital, he was pronounced dead, and a death certificate was issued. He was then covered with a sheet and wheeled towards the morgue -- then he woke up! He had been dead for 28 minutes, and this was the longest clinically documented near-death experience ever recorded at that time. He later told how he had gone down a tunnel into a bright light, went through a life-recall self-judgement process and was shown a series of future world events, up to 2014. Brinkley said that "between 2004 and 2014, more precisely between 2011 and 2012", there would be "the return of an energy system that existed here a long time ago", and that it would culminate in an "electromagnetic polar Earth shift" between 2012 and 2014. The whole process would present mankind with a spiritual opportunity to raise their consciousness. What Brinkley didn't know, was that 2012 is the next "Creation Date" of the ancient Maya civilization. (...) So the "spiritual opportunity for mankind" spoken of by Danion Brinkley can be confirmed as a time very close to 2012, when something will trigger a mass Kundalini experience in mankind -- but what could the trigger be?

Entering the Photon Belt - Magnetized Plasma

Alexey Dmitriev, a Russian geologist, has analyzed the increasing changes in Earth's weather and seismic phenomena, plus recent changes to the geomagnetic field. He has also taken into account solar changes, and changes to the weather and magnetic fields of all the other planets in the solar system. A ten-fold increase to the layer of deflected interstellar plasma on the heliosphere boundary indicates that the solar system is headed into an area of magnetised plasma that Dmitriev says is causing these changes. An increasing incidence of plasma balls in the atmosphere is a sign of the imminent "transformation of Earth" says Dmitriev, involving an interaction with processes beyond the three-dimensional world. Like Brinkley, other near-death-experience subjects have also foreseen Earth changes and consciousness changes associated with 2012, as have many who have undergone out-of-body experiences, lucid dreams, remote viewing, meditative trance states, and even alien abduction experiences. These are all mystical states in which the pineal gland in the centre of the human brain secretes dimethyltryptamine (DMT) into the blood, according to Rick Strassman's recent study, and the Maya shamans used a mushroom containing psilocybin, which is a close relative of DMT, apparently accessing some sort of global mega-mind - the developing consciousness of the Earth mother." - Geoff Stray -- Taken from Beyond 2012 (More through http://www.2012theodyssey.com/Trailer.html)

Huge lightening jets - 1st ever photographed over the continental United States

The pictures may be telling us something else, however.
 
Professor James McCanney maintains that when a foreign body---such as a large comet, asteroid, or meteorite---invades our "inner Solar System", they are more "positively charged" than is our Sun (or even our own Planets).  As they get closer, the "Solar Capacitor" is discharged towards them. Since our planet Earth is also more negatively charged than is the intruder, the same discharge could be seen coming from Earth towards the intruder.   This would appear to look like "lightening bolts".  If this be true, and I personally believe that McCanney is right, it would indicate to me that Planet X, along with its entourage of accompanying bodies that are orbiting around Planet X is becoming more "noticeable", which means that Planet X may be about to make an appearance!

Space Weather News for August 23, 2007

On Aug. 20th, an amateur astronomer in Oklahoma scanned the sky for meteors using a low-light video camera--but instead of meteors, he recorded a bizarre upside-down  form of lightning called "Gigantic Jets." Discovered in 2001, Gigantic Jets are enormous discharges that leap upward 50 miles high from the tops of thunderclouds.  They are related to better known "sprites" and "elves", but are larger and more dramatic.
 
 The Oklahoma Jets are the first ever photographed over the continental United States and they may provide key data to researchers working to understand the phenomenon.
 
 Visit http://spaceweather.com  to view a movie of the Jets and to learn how you might be able to catch them yourself.

Is the end of time "as we know it" referring to a a global shift in
the "year time" orbit of earth around the sun?
Apparently it happened before.
