May 30, 2009 session:
Q: (L) Well that's like how you deal with children. If you tell them no, you have to be consistent about it. So, if he whines and cries, I can't let that affect me. Alright. Now I want to ask about this Art of Living course a bit more. Craig has sent us his requirements which are to not eat garlic and to not smoke for the duration of the course. Are those ideas advisable for us?
A: No. Not smoking and avoidance of garlic are directly related to mind programming systems. Consider the culture and religious context of the system.
A 'nice' complement to ECHCC Ch 16, regarding the radiocarbon dating, is a section from the book Discovering the Secrets of the Sun by Rudolf Kippenhahn, basically stating that the main driving mechanisms behind variations in 14C concentration in the Earth's atmosphere are the intensity of geomagnetic field (how much it deflects cosmic rays that in fact produce 14C from abundant stable 14N in the atmosphere), followed by solar activity levels (again the same principle of deflection, i.e. shielding from incoming cosmic rays).Chapter 16: Radiocarbon Dating 'Anomalies'
- Radiocarbon dating works by taking the ratio of carbon-12 over carbon-14. The latter has a half life around 5,568 years, so when the measurement occurs, scientists can tell how old something is by calculating this ratio.
- This dating is not accurate, leading to dates that are younger than they should be. For example, thermonuclear explosions artificially increases the amount of carbon-14, which isn't taken into account. Another is fossil fuel emissions that release carbon-12.
- Supernovas, cometary bombardments, and overhead cometary explosions introduce neutrons, further skewing the carbon-12 and carbon-14 ratio.
- These in effect slides the timeline of extinction events. Ones caused by Nemesis may have occurred much earlier or later than 14 million years ago, meaning that Nemesis may not be at near its furthest point away from the Sun (aphelion), but approaching its nearest (perihelion).
- The moons increasing eccentricity (deviation of orbit shape from a perfect circle) is an anomaly that can be explained by the presence of an unidentified celestial body beyond Pluto--Nemesis.
- For these lunar perturbations to happen, Nemesis, given its mass, is around 4500 AU away from the sun, or 100 times the Sun-Pluto distance. It's close enough to influence other bodies in the solar system while escaping detection.
ABSTRACT.
We calibrated portions of the radiocarbon time scale with combined 230Th, 231Pa, 14C measurements of corals collected from Espiritu Santo, Vanuatu and the Huon Peninsula, Papua New Guinea. The new data map 14C variations ranging from the current limit of the tree-ring calibration (11,900 calendar years before present [cal BP], Kromer and Spurk 1998, now updated to 12,400 cal BP, see Kromer et al., this issue), to the 14C-dating limit of 50,000 cal BP, with detailed structure between 14 to 16 cal kyr BP and 19 to 24 cal kyr BP. Samples older than 25,000 cal BP were analyzed with high-precision 231Pa dating methods (Pickett et al. 1994; Edwards et al. 1997) as a rigorous second check on the accuracy of the 230Th ages.These are the first coral calibration data to receive this additional check, adding confidence to the age data forming the older portion of the calibration. Our results, in general, show that the offset between calibrated and 14C ages generally increases with age until about 28,000 cal BP, when the recorded 14C age is nearly 6800 yr too young. The gap between ages before this time is less; at 50,000 cal BP, the recorded 14C age is 4600 yr too young. Two major 14C-age plateaus result from a 130‰ drop in ∆14C between 14–15 cal kyr BP and a 700‰ drop in ∆14C between 22–25 cal kyr BP. In addition, a large atmospheric ∆14C excursion to values over 1000‰ occurs at 28 cal kyr BP. Between 20 and 10 cal kyr BP, a component of atmospheric ∆14C anti-correlates with Greenland ice δ18O, indicating that some portion of the variability in atmospheric ∆14C is related to climate change, most likely through climate-related changes in the carbon cycle. Furthermore, the 28-kyr excursion occurs at about the time of significant climate shifts. Taken as a whole, our data indicate that in addition to a terrestrial magnetic field, factors related to climate change have affected the history of atmospheric 14C.
As a reminder, the AM-Eu reading group will be reading chapters 31-33 of Pierre Lescaudron's Earth Changes and the Human-Cosmic Connection for the next meeting on August 1st, 2024.
I’ve just gone to buy Live Not By Lies on Kindle. I can preorder and it will be avail Dec 2099Hi everyone,
Here are the links for the recent Aus-Asia-Am group discussion on Darkness Over Tibet.
Here's the video of the last meeting
The audio
And the folder
This concludes Darkness Over Tibet- what an excellent little book, with so much conveyed within the allegory of the story. We will begin Live Not by Lies: A Manual for Christian Dissidents by Rod Dreher for next week, reading the Introduction & Chapter 1 for our next workshop on Saturday at 6 pm Sydney AEST time (GMT+10).

What?! Glad you were able to get it on Kindle lol, otherwise that’s a damn long time to wait for the book in print!I’ve just gone to buy Live Not By Lies on Kindle. I can preorder and it will be avail Dec 2099
