Sol (Sun) and its phenomena

NOAA's forecast for the next 24 hours: 99% chance of C flares, 75% chance of M flares and 40% chance of X flares.
Well, sunspot AR3664 erupted again :

Keith Strong

IT WONT STOP! Despite being a day behind the limb sunspot region AR3634 produced yet another X flare - an X3.4 event which is still in progress as I type this. This means it was a much bigger flare than GOES registered. Video data as soon as it is available.

RADIO COMMUNICATIONS BLACKOUT BELOW 7 MHz.The flare is drowning out radio signals over most of Europe, Africa, and western Asia.

did you have a travel/car crystal in the car ?
No! Not for this car, but should carry my personal one more often. Thanks!
Glad you're okay!
Thanks! Yeah, it was intense for sure, but manageable.
Anyways, the odds are probably good - if you look up instances of a particular vehicle failure and you'll generally find many similar cases.
All good points, it is a ‘96 that’s been in the fam since ‘99 and just crossed 250k miles, it’s got all kinds of quirks. I know the car well hence my surprise at how the issue occurred. May have been a blessing in disguise - put “take car into shop” at the top of the list…
So I don't read too much woo into things when vehicle troubles happen, our driving machines do weird stuff all the time. There's usually some woo involved, but it's not a path I tend to give too much weight - main reason being, it doesn't fix the issue, and can lead towards 'specialness' narratives.
Agreed, I think now of it as more a “parental test” — keeping myself and son calm. There were dozens of other moments that occurred that caused my emotions to spiraled out of control. I think I did well setting the right example…

Pattern recognition can be useful and a form of defense and is strengthened by being aware so we can navigate within our environment safely and with proper discernment. It’s that “run amok” part that needs to be held in check or it can become debilitating or psychotic at worse — numbers and symbols everywhere telling me to run for president! Perhaps, these “specialness narratives” (great term!) can inflate the ego to the point where one is opened to feeding or if you can remain objective you can separate the noise you may get better sense of your path in life.

A purpose of HAARP may be just that — to disorient and block each persons true potential or even tune their “polarity” into “self destruct mode”. Everyone born has an opportunity to make an impact here for the better. (Reminds me the Cs phrase “nobody's a nobody”) And maybe one reason it was turned on was the potential for auroras to inspire and wake people up - interesting that they kinda of announced it 🤔

Anyway, just some open thoughts, could write a whole lot more, but don’t want go off topic. 😅

Yeah there is a wood layer to everything. I think the main question for me is if it’s more than usual woo, and if so, how can I tell? And then what do I do about whatever has happened? I remember a guy I knew had a small hole in his gas tank. He decided to get out some sage and smudge it. It’s lucky he didn’t blow himself up.
 
Now, why would that be? Well, according to my theory, we are going to pass through the border between two cosmic clouds: our current cloud mixture and the G-cloud. And as we pass through that border, what will potentially happen is the same thing that happened in the 19th century when they had many auroras and 4 solar storms. Two smaller ones, at the beginning and the end of the "solar upheaval", and two strong ones in the middle. All separated by solar sunspot maximums. If my theory is correct, at that time the solar system was passing the border between the Local Interstellar Cloud and the mixture cloud, which sits between LIC and the G-cloud, and where we are right now.

If that is true, and if this storm was the first storm in the cycle, then the next two will be much stronger, and the last one will be as strong as this one. And after that we will enter the G-cloud where our cosmic environment will be much different than this one. Of course, this "solar upheaval" doesn't have to be an exact copy of the one from the 19th century, but we could expect something similar.

On that topic, I think a documentary called "Magnetic Storm", made by the PBS in 2003, is excellent. I watched it many years ago, but I was just reviewing some clips, and in today's context, it makes even more sense. The auroras could well be a sign of an incoming pole shift, due to a progressive weakening in different areas.

Neil found the transcript:

But I don't see the actual video anywhere online. If anyone is interested, say so. ;-)

EDIT: Found it. It's actually here:

By now there are probably more modern documentaries made about it, but that one stuck in my mind for some reason.

I found it on YT. It was interesting. That would explain the South Atlantic Anomaly. If I understood one scientist correctly, we should expect more of those anomalies before the pole shift. But we are certainly going towards that point.

Yes, that type of anomaly, together with more "visual effects" like the auroras. And I found the link to cancer to be interesting too. We know human technology, vaccines, etc. are destroying people's health, but there may also be more "cosmic" factors as well, at a larger scale. And as in the case of weather change, the authorities will just blame it on people driving cars, eating junk, etc.
 
I found this in the transcript about Aurora Borealis :

(Pierre) The Aurora Borealis?

(L) Yeah, that stuff comes in at the poles.

(Pierre) Yeah, the magnetosphere is weaker there. Related question: We've witnessed over the past few days several X-class solar flares. I wanted to know if this unusual solar activity was triggered by an incoming cometary cluster related to Nemesis?

A: Check planetary alignments and factor in distant body

Q:
(L) So something was just lining up.

(Pierre) And easing the discharge.

(Joe) Planetary alignments.


So I went back to check if there was any alignment on the 8-9 of May and thank to Puma who report them in the Earthquakes tread, I found this.
On the 6th of Mai Puma posted the map prediction for the period from o5-o5 to 05-14 in this post; Earthquakes around the world

There were 3 planetary and lunar geometry on the 7- 8 of May.
● Next planetary geometries:
▪︎ Mercury- Venus- Uranus/ 2024-05-07
▪︎ Earth- Moon- Sun/ 2024-05-08 (new moon)

● Next lunar geometries
▪︎ Earth- Moon- Uranus/ 2024-05-08
▪︎ Earth- Moon- Jupiter/ 2024-05-08

I just thought that I will save this information here so if the phenomena repeat, we can compare the alignment, geometry and maybe discern a pattern or planet that may play a prominent role.

It look like when major change occur in our environment, there are disease (covid) and manipulation at the genetic level (vax) to diminish the chance to survive the change.

October, 22 1994

Q: (L) After the "flood of Noah" approximately how many people survived that cataclysm on the whole earth?

A: Approximately 19 million.

Q: (L) Why did the population of the earth continue to decline from that point?

A: Because of disease and inability to adjust due to artificial manipulations of the genetic pool.

The X-flares in 2017 appeared from 6-10 of September. And at that time, right behind the Earth, opposite to the Sun, was Neptune. So the distant body could be something behind the Neptune.

RARE SOUTH PACIFIC AURORAS CONFIRM 'GREAT STORM': On the south Pacific island of New Caledonia, no one expects to see auroras. Ever. Situated about halfway between Tonga and Australia, the cigar-shaped island is too close to the equator for Northern or Southern Lights. Yet on May 10, 2024, this happened:​
"I have rarely been so happy when taking a photo!" says Frédéric Desmoulins, who photographed the display from Boulouparis in the island's south province. "I could see the red color of the auroras with my naked eye. According to the New Caledonian Astronomy Society, these photos are the first for this territory."
"The auroral visibility from New Caledonia is really unique and extremely valuable," says Hisashi Hayakawa, a space weather researcher at Japan's Nagoya University. "The last time sky watchers saw auroras in the area may have been during the Carrington Event of Sept. 1859, when auroras were sighted from a ship in the Coral Sea."
Hayakawa specializes in historical studies of great auroral storms. He tries to go back in time as far as possible. The problem is, magnetometers and other modern sensors didn't exist hundreds of years ago. Instead, he looks for records of aurora sightings in old newspapers, diaries, ships logs and even paintings. Great Storms are identified by their low latitude--anything with naked-eye auroras below 30° MLAT (magnetic latitude).
"May 10th was definitely a 'Great Storm,'" declares Hayakawa. "Naked-eye auroras in New Caledonia (MLAT = -26.4°) and Puerto Rico (MLAT = 27.2°) cracked the latitude barrier in both of Earth's hemispheres."​
In fact, it is among the top 20 Great Storms of the past 500 years. The above timeline from a research paper by Hayakawa has been modified to display the May 10th event. It is the green dot on the far-right end of the timeline.

This is nothing too special considering how many photos have been taken, but it came from a different part of the world. China Daily still carried a beautiful picture of the aurora borealis:

Photo taken on May 11, 2024, shows the northern lights in the sky of Xiliinhot city, North China's Inner Mongolia autonomous region. [Photo/VCG]
The coordinates of the city are: 43.951736, 116.088485, so it is far north of some other observations.

Pretty interesting, eh!

Recall the December 1859 Atlantic article I quoted here, which correlated riots breaking out in Jamaica with the sightings of auroras there during the Carrington Event.

Well, serious rioting broke out in New Caledonia a few days ago...

France declares state of emergency in New Caledonia after deadly riots
