It's not a new discovery...the sun is powerful

The ancients claimed the sun to be responsible for the quality of life and once again we're seeing phenomenal and far reaching power of the sun. Can anyone dispute that our weather on planet earth is different than usual? I don't think so.

Below you will read the latest report from NASA regarding solar activity, or I should say, the lack of solar activity. Once again it seems the scientists of today are finally catching up with what has already been written.

Space Weather News for April 2, 2009

SPOTLESS SUNS: Yesterday, NASA announced that the sun has plunged into the deepest solar minimum in nearly a century. Sunspots have all but vanished and consequently the sun has become very quiet. In 2008, the sun had no spots 73% of the time, a 95-year low. In 2009, sunspots are even more scarce, with the "spotless rate" jumping to 87%. We are currently experiencing a stretch of 25 continuous days uninterrupted by sunspots--and there's no end in sight.

This is a big event, but it is not unprecedented. Similarly deep solar minima were common in the late-19th and early-20th centuries, and each time the sun recovered with a fairly robust solar maximum. That's probably what will happen in the present case, although no one can say for sure. This is the first deep solar minimum of the Space Age, and the first one we have been able to observe using modern technology. Is it like others of the past? Or does this solar minimum have its own unique characteristics that we will discover for the first time as the cycle unfolds? These questions are at the cutting edge of solar physics.

You can monitor the progress of solar minimum with a new "Spotless Days Counter" on spaceweather.com. Instead of counting sunspots, we're counting no sunspots. Daily updated totals tell you how many spotless days there have been in a row, in this year, and in the entire solar cycle. Comparisons to historical benchmarks put it all in perspective.

Just for interest sake stop and think about the effect of the sun in your life.

Hello All,

Recognizing and working with the power of consciousness has been one of the focuses of modern science since Einstein’s famous discovery: E=MC². There are no longer questions about the importance of consciousness when it comes to balancing our lives or achieving our goals.

Ancient wisdom teachings, from all cultures, have repeatedly emphasized the importance of looking within one’s self to find truth and the ability to direct one’s consciousness. The truth of that concept is easy to accept, the problem is remembering to be conscious.

Haven’t we all made resolutions that have lasted for at least 3 or 4 days? Being successful in any decision is easy at first, but our success rapidly fades because we quickly forget to remember to be conscious and old habits, or traits, gain the upper hand.

This blog will share valuable information about consciousness and what it takes to make use of it. The suggestions will come from modern and ancient sources.
