Possible energy ramifications of diminishing magnetic field. How long will it linger at zero before reversing? [Feedback: legal ramifications for official land/title survey]

Pure Energy Systems News
Seeing the powerful earthquakes such as the December 26th, 2004 event that triggered the tsunami disaster, people are looking for possible causes for the apparent instability of earth's crust. "End-times" alarmists and backyard researchers believe that the predicted imminent reversal of the earth's magnetic field may be a significant clue to these eschatological-scale events.
Scientists have been observing changes in the direction of earth's magnetic field which took place recently as well as in the distant past. NASA’s website features a map showing the gradual northward migration of the north magnetic pole in the past century and a half. Since more than double the time interval has elapsed since the last reversal, compared to the time lapse between the previous two pole reversals, some believe we may be overdue for the next north-south flip. (1,2) However, though the interval between reversals of the Earth’s magnetic field can be as short as 5,000 years, it can also be as long as 50 million years. There does not seem to be any logic or rule governing the planet’s behavior.
It is not only the direction but also the strength of this magnetic field that is a concern. In the time of dinosaurs, at an estimated 2.5 gauss, it was eighty percent stronger than it is now. This may have been one of the reasons such gigantic life forms thrived. It is now accepted that a catastrophic event ended the reign of giant reptiles. However, they did not re-evolve to equivalent dimensions. And the disappearance of mammalian “mega-fauna” in more recent times is still considered to be a mystery. The mastodons and mammoths would have towered over modern elephants. Why are there so few large terrestrial animals today?
The smaller average size of modern animals may be due to the gradual decline of Earth's "steady state" (as opposed to “pulsed”) magnetism. Thousands of years ago the Chinese, with their astute discovery of bio-electrical energy flows known as “meridians”, learned that magnetism promotes vigor in biological life. They used magnetic rocks in medical treatment. In the past century there has been a further decline of earth's magnetic field by another five percent down to only 0.5 gauss. This has led Dr. Dean Bonlie to identify a "magnetic deficiency syndrome" resulting from the biological stress caused by the weakening of this "energy base" for life. (3)
The weakening of earth’s magnetism is one of the factors believed to be predictive of a pole reversal. That magnetic field reversals have occurred in the past is confirmed in the geological record. What is unclear is how precisely the transition occurs, and what happens to life forms extant at the time of this pole flip.
Does the magnetic field drop to zero gauss? Dire predictions follow upon the heels of this theory. Electronic devices would all be at risk: there may be damage to, or complete loss of, all near-earth-orbiting satellites and possibly the space station itself. Effects on life forms could range from migrating birds losing their sense of direction to immune system decline and even widespread die-off from radiation-induced cancers.
Losing its protective magnetic envelope, the atmosphere would expand and become thinner, possibly leading to altitude sickness near sea level. No longer filtered out, deadly cosmic rays would kill most if, not all, living creatures on the surface. Only those living in deep caves would be safe. This scenario has prompted some to build underground bunkers in hopes of surviving.
Countering this frightening vision, NASA predicts that, rather than declining to zero gauss, the magnetic field would become disordered. Thus we might for short time have more than one north and south pole on the planet. This official scientific stance says that the magnetosphere which shields us from cosmic radiation would not entirely disappear either. Thus, while communications would be erratic and perhaps at times completely inactivated, humans would find ways to survive. However, there are dissenters in the ranks, pointing to the vast South Atlantic magnetic anomaly and radiation damage to satellites over that region attributed to weakening of the protective magnetosphere. (4)
The disorderly-flip theory is supported by evidence from geology that in past reversals the decline was not total. Lava flows that solidified at Steen's Mountain during a lengthy reversal process show that the magnetic poles wandered across the equator three times. Though strength of the field was reduced to about 20% of maximum, there is no record that it fell to zero gauss during that transitional period. (5)
The theory that activity in the turbulent molten outer iron core of the planet generates its magnetic field currently dominates scientific thinking. Stormy activity deep in the earth's outer core, believed to be filled with roiling convection flows of molten iron, is understood to generate the planet’s magnetic field. Such violent seething could affect the mantle as well, possibly disturbing the earth's crust and causing the quakes.
However, there is an alternate theory of how the magnetic field is generated. In his article, "Origin of the Earth's Magnetic Field", Ernest McFarlane outlines gaps in the molten-iron convection theory. He proposes a system of electronic cells in a crystalline metal core with hot spots of heavy metals releasing alpha and beta particles. Due to the high heat the alpha particles are unable to combine with the free electrons. "Consequently an electron current flow is produced and conditions are set up for the generation of current loops throughout the inner and outer core. ... magnetic fields are produced as a consequence, in accordance with the right hand rule of electromagnetic theory." (5)
Which theory is right? We may find out from experience sooner than we can come to amicable agreement, given the conflicting theories and computer models. The actual dynamics may include aspects of both, or new insights not yet fully developed.
The sun reverses its magnetic field like clockwork every eleven years at the peak of the sunspot cycle. The next solar flip is due in 2012. South-pointing magnetic flux moves from sunspots, which are intense magnetic loops near the equator of the sun, along “meridional flows” to the north magnetic pole, and vice versa. As the oppositely-directed charge accumulates at the poles the field declines, until eventually the reverse charge predominates.
Scientists point out that the heliosphere does not wink out of existence during this reversal. The sunspots are intense magnetic knots, much stronger than the star’s main field, which continue to spiral outward even when the main dipole field vanishes briefly. Though the solar magnetic reversal is not completely understood, the Ulysses space probe has sent back detailed data which has supplied answers to many questions. (6)
The mechanism that controls earth's field reversals may not be based on similar principles. For one thing, a planet does not seem to have any equivalent to the powerful sunspots. McFarlane refers to there being more than one north-south pole system and about 10% of the total field being involved in smaller extra fields. If these subordinate minor magnetic fields take up more of the magnetic activity during the main field’s decline, they might become active enough to sustain a minimal protective layer shielding the biosphere, even if the main dipole field declines to zero gauss. This could be important for our survival, as the Steen’s mountain lava flows indicate that the reversal took 4,500 years to be completed! (5)
IMPLICATIONS FOR HUMANITY’S ENERGY NEEDS
Whether the magnetic field is primarily molten-metal flow dynamics or electron current loops, or a combination of those and other factors, a magnetic pole reversal may be of significance to the search for clean energy generation and transportation. If earth magnetic anomalies become more frequent or are concentrated in certain areas, we could see disruption of existing electrical grids, even without the dramatic atmosphere expansion and radiation damaging to life and computers.
PES Network Inc. wants to encourage people in all geographical regions to participate in magnetic-pole data collection and reporting. A community-editable directory page at PESWiki.com has been created for this purpose. It is recommended that you first establish a “base line” by determining the accurate magnetic north reading for your location, and report the number of degrees and direction of any deviation from this norm. If you are able to access equipment to determine field strength as well, this additional data would be of interest too.
This data may be useful in helping inventors and researchers test the tolerance of Zero-point technologies, magnetic motors and other new generation systems in adverse situations. As we may have to live through ongoing magnetic disturbance for a long time, we will need to know whether the new systems will be robust under conditions of planetary pole reversal.
Ordinary citizens do not usually have access to instrumentation that would allow them to examine the deeper layers of the planet, nor the high atmosphere, nor the magnetospheres in space. However, if many people collect observations on magnetic field direction from different locations across the continent of North America, and indeed around the world, this data may become relevant in more ways than feeding "end-time" theorizing.
The subject is complex, and whichever scenario may be about to occur, some individuals have been taking note of unusually large fluctuations in the apparent position of the magnetic north pole. Using a large, stationary, home-built compass, one individual in western Canada noticed a ten-degree variation within a few days. This was so unusual that, concerned about a sudden pole shift, he described and published his observations, and asked for input.
No one else was seeing this rapid "pole shift".
On borrowing a very sensitive water-filled portable compass and quartering the area, he discovered that this was indeed a highly localized anomaly in which his domicile happened to be situated dead center. See his recorded readings at the link below. (8) He is now theorizing that the phenomenon may be a vortex related to the nearby extinct volcano Mount Ida. (9) Vortices have been known to occur in volcanic mountain areas, and in the past some have become tourist attractions.
Individual observations are of value, but need to be balanced by additional data from a much wider geographical area. Thus alarms about sudden general "pole shift" may be put to rest, and anomalies studied for what they are.
Ted Twietmeyer is one of those calling for volunteers to join in a non-profit effort (10) to track the magnetic pole shift -- or apparent pole shift. Summaries and links to this data would be appropriate for the above-mentioned PESWiki directory.

The Alien Types?
ALIEN TYPE 1: The Greys. Of this type there are several subtypes. All tend to appear greyish in color and for this reasons are referred to as "greys."
GREY TYPE A: This is the type most commonly referred to as the greys. In ufology, Greys, also known as Roswell aliens, Zetas, and Reticulians, are aliens or extraterrestrial life forms that appear in purported modern-day encounters and other UFO-related paranormal phenomena. Also known as Zeta Reticuli from the Zeta Reticulan star system (the Bernard star) neighboring the Orion area. They function in a mode that is apparently military in nature with a rigidly defined social structure that holds science and "conquering worlds" to be the prime movers. They are normally about 4.5 ft tall with large heads and black "wrap around" eyes. They have limited facial features, slit mouth and no nose to speak of. They have evolved beyond the need for reproductive systems or digestive systems and reproduce by cloning. Their genetics is partly based on insectoidal genetics.
Their science deals largely with the study of other life forms and genetic engineering. They have supposedly had a part to play in the alteration of human genetics over thousands of years. It seems that they Maybe trying to cross breed with humans in order to create a "mixture race" that would be better than either. (I've read that they are a dying species, that have cloned so much that now, with each successive cloning, the species grows weaker. They are trying to infuse new life into their species by creating the mixed breed.)
There seem to be two main social classes. One is the more hawkish and is more abrupt, crude and blunt. The more dove-like ones are more refined and capable of a more businesslike behavior toward humans, and prefer to use more "diplomatic" behavior to gain control over humans'. This type of Grey is what I believe is being referred to as the "Orange" class of Greys.
They seem to be emotionless (by human standards) and therefore are seen as cruel in their treatment of human beings. They are able to take human lives without any regard for that individual. They apparently can use certain substances of the human body for their sustenance and therefore appear to be carnivorous in regards to humans. (I also read that they extract fluid from some part of the human brain during intense emotional response [fear] and are able to use it like a recreational drug.)
It is my understanding that these greys are actually servants to a master race of reptilian-type aliens and are trying to prepare the earth for their arrival by gaining control over the earth through many means. They tend to enjoy the feeling of freedom they have on earth, away from their masters and would desire the help of humans in confrontations with the reptilians...which appears to be a consideration for the near future (mid 90's.)
GREY TYPE B: Tall Greys from Orion. Usually about 7 to 8 ft. tall (reports often exaggerate their height as being 9 to 12 ft.) with facial feature somewhat similar to grey type A with the exception of the large nose found on type B greys. These greys also have technologies that allow them to perform certain actions that appear "miraculous." These greys are less viscous Toward humans than type A greys (but are still considered "hostile".) They tend to influence more through political controls and negotiated agreements with those in power.
GREY TYPE C: These are the shortest of the greys and tend to be about 3.5 ft. tall. Their facial features are very similar to the Zeta Reticuli greys and are of the same "root race.". They are just as hostile to humans as the Zetas. They are from a star system near the shoulder of Orion called Bellatrax.
ALIEN TYPE 2: THE REPTILIANS:A genetics akin to reptiles, these are highly advanced entities but viewed as being of a negative, hostile or dangerous disposition since they regard humans as a totally inferior race. They would perceive us much the way we would perceive a herd of cattle. They are carnivorous in regard to humans. There is supposedly a "driven" planetoid or an asteroid inhabited by 30 million of these lizard-folk that is to enter our solar system in the mid 90's if the present schedule is kept.
They consider earth to be their own ancient outpost and would expect to have complete control of the entire planet upon their return. Their own planet is becoming unable to adequately support life and they need somewhere else to live. These are the aliens who are served by the type A greys.
ALIEN TYPE 3: HUMAN TYPE ALIENS
HUMAN TYPE A: These are of a genetic base similar to humans of earth. They appear of "normal" height (5-6ft) and tend to be fair-skinned with blonde hair. These entities have been abducted by the greys or are the offspring of abductees and have been trained by the greys as servants. These entities are totally subservient to the greys.
HUMAN TYPE B: These are aliens of similar genetics to earth humans and also, it seems, of the humans that serve the greys. These are from the Pleiades and are also of the blonde, fair-skinned appearance. This type is of a genuine highly evolved, spiritual, benevolent variety and have a kinship toward humans and are the only aliens to be truly trusted by earth humans at this time. They had at one time offered to be of assistance to earth leaders in dealing with the alien situation here but were rebuffed and so have taken a kind of "hands off" approach for the time being. These aliens are supposedly the forefather race of humankind. These are apparently not on earth much at this time due to serious problems in the area of their home.
HUMAN TYPE C: Very little is known about these. They are supposedly another of the highly evolved, spiritual type of great benevolence to earth humans. I understand that their appearance is similar to other human-type aliens. They are from Sirius and don't appear to be much involved with earth happenings at this time other than being concerned about the Grey scenario. They could desire to be of help to humans.
There are other known human type aliens of this "more highly spiritually evolved" nature that are apparently aware of the situation on earth and considering some possible course of action. These are from Arcturus and Vega.
GREY TYPE A: This is the type most commonly referred to as the greys.

Apparitions
Apparitions - The term apparition is used for any kind of visual, paranormal related manifestation. The key word to remember is visual. A ghost can take the form of an apparition, like an orb or human figure that you can see. However, not all paranormal visualizations are ghosts. They can be in the form of trains, animals, and inanimate objects. Some apparitions of people might not always be a ghost, or spirit of a person. They might just be visions of things or people that were in that same location years ago. These forms of apparitions will not be conscious of their surroundings or of themselves. They are kind of like a holographic video of something that used to be there. This is called an imprint, and is caused by very dramatic and emotional events that become a part of the land and it's near surroundings. This is however, just a theory that I happen to agree with on certain forms of apparitions. Most professionals in paranormal fields will use the word apparition to describe all paranormal visualizations to keep things simple and avoid any confusion.
There are more than just one type of apparition. Here is a list of some below.
Crisis Apparitions - This is when a person is of course in or was in a crisis. Either they are dying or have just died and are appearing in spirit form to their family or other loved ones to send the message that they are are going or have all ready left the physical world. Some of these apparitions will point to their fatal injuries. Crisis apparitions can appear in peoples dreams as well.
Apparitions of the Dead - This form of course is the appearance of someones spirit that has all ready died. Usually to someone they were close to like family or others that are grieving for that persons soul. They appear in order to give information to their loved ones about unsettled or unfinished business that they feel should be taken care of.
Reciprocal Apparitions - In this case both the apparition and the person that sees it are still alive and remember seeing each other. Someone will be so lonely, worried, or missing the other that they will appear to that person in the form of an apparition and both will remember it happening. They can also be called ghosts of the living. This is a good example of how powerful the human mind and will actually is.
Deathbed Apparitions - An apparition that appears to a dying person, very close to the time of their death. They can be of dead relatives, angels, or biblical figures.
Apparitions have been thoroughly studied by parapsychologists and other paranormal researchers since the 19th century.They can vary and can hold different characteristics. Some are very lifelike in their movements and looks. Others can be transparent, and fuzzy with jerky, puppet like movements. Others can be even less lifelike and appear only as patches, or other forms of light. They can visualize very suddenly and then disappear in the same manner. Every apparition has it's own special qualities. Some can come with smells, some can make sounds, and others can just make gestures to get someones attention or communicate. Some people that have witnessed an apparition have actually tried to touch them. The majority of those individuals learn that their hands go right through the ghostly visions. In a few incidents however the percipient that have been able to touch them have felt a substance similar to a thin, flimsy fabric.
About every four out of five apparitions seem to appear for a reason. One of those reasons is to tell of the deceased persons own traumatic experience and/or death. Another is to give comfort to a family member or friend that has lost someone. Sometimes they just want to give important information to help the living as well. It may be that the other 20% of apparitions that do not seem to have a specific purpose are either imprint apparitions or have other matters to attend to that is unknown to the witness.

Hauntings
Hauntings are when one or more ghosts are seen, heard, or felt on more than one occasion in the same dwelling. Often the reason why a ghost haunts a home is because the spirit had lived in that home before it died and either chooses to stay in that home or somehow its spirit may be trapped there. Ghosts will often be discovered in places where tragedies have occurred. Places where war and murders have taken place are often found to be haunted. It seems as if tragedies can trap a spirit to the surroundings of the incident. The spirit or spirits that haunt a dwelling will usually leave if they get what ever it is that they want, if there is something they want. Some examples of a ghosts needs is to get a specific message across to the living. If the ghost was murdered they might want the public to know who did it. Another example is that the spirit might want you to do something for it that it can not do for itself because it no longer has a body.
Just about any kind of building can be haunted. Some examples of places that have been known to be haunted are libraries, hotels, mansions, colleges, hospitals, theaters, and stores. A haunting can be as short as a couple of days to as long as hundreds of years. A haunted location is a good place to pick up some EVP (electronic voice phenomena) if you leave a tape recorder on in a room where it is quiet. If you want to learn about EVP check out our EVP page. If you are just interested in getting the ghosts to leave you can have your house blessed or even try something simple like asking the spirits to leave. Surprisingly, it works a lot of the time. If the hauntings are getting out of hand and all else fails, you might want to get some experienced help. If the haunting is being caused by actual spirits and not by imprints, an exorcism will probably be effective.
Some signs that a dwelling is haunted are when doors are opening and closing by themselves, objects become missing and then reappear in strange places, you hear noises that seem to be coming from nowhere, and lights turning on and off by themselves. There can be apparitions of people, animals, and objects during a haunting but they are rare. People that visit or live in a haunted dwelling may sense a strong feeling of either negative or positive emotions. Some of these emotions are hate, anger, love, and pain. Every spirit is different just as every living person is different. Not everyone in a haunted location will experience the same thing, even when they are in the same room at the same time. One theory for this is that it takes a person of a certain level of psychic awareness, or sensitivity to experience things on a spiritual level.
Most ghosts and hauntings are harmless. Sometimes they even seem shy of the living. Ghost hauntings tend to cause a lot less destruction then a poltergeist will. During a haunting you might get the feeling that someone is watching you. That's because someone is watching you, just not someone of the living. It's a creepy feeling but they don't usually mean any harm. To the ghost or spirit that haunts a home, you are the visitor and they are the original resident, since they might have been there a lot longer than you have.

ESP (Extra-Sensory Perception)
Extra-Sensory Perception or ESP is any, all, or some of the five senses working on a paranormal level. ESP brings about information that has to do with the past, the present, and the future in a way which is scientifically unexplained. It has also been called a "hidden sense" and also "telesthesia". In modern parapsychology, ESP is called "psi" which refers to clairvoyance, telepathy, and psychokinesis. ESP happens often to mediums during possession, certain cases of apparitions, poltergeists, and hauntings. It has also been known to happen in astral projection and near death experiences. Much of the occurrences of ESP are spontaneous and uncontrollable. There is a good chance that everybody at one time or another has had some experience of ESP. It's just only those individuals like mediums and other people that who consistently experience it that get the most attention. Those that do have a high ESP level will experience more of the paranormal world than the rest of us because of their high sensitivity of it. The three parts of ESP are all written in depth below to explain there differences and relations to each other.
Clairvoyance- The ability to visualize things like people, places, and objects that one can not see with their normal vision. It is also known as "ghost vision", and "second sight". This gift of vision can and does happen suddenly and spontaneously. Clairvoyance can be triggered purposely through many techniques like breathing in or ingesting particular substances. Also by fasting and by magical rituals. Clairvoyance can happen in dreams, be seen by the inner eye and by something called "traveling clairvoyance" which is where it is experienced in an "out-of-body experience" or OBE, sometimes traveling to other realms and dimensions where spirits dwell.
Telepathy- To communicate by means unexplained by science, from one persons mind to another. These thoughts can be of ideas, feelings, images, and sensations. Telepathy tends to happen the most in situations of crisis. Someone will become aware of another persons tragic situation without any help of their normal senses. This can happen between people and animals as well. Just like clairvoyance, telepathy can occur in dreams. Caffeine is said to have a positive effect on telepathy, while other drugs have a negative one.
The term ESPwas created by a researcher named J.B. Rine, a parapsychologist of the early 20th century. He also came up with the theory that telepathy and clairvoyance are the same ability manifesting in two different ways, after performing many tests at Duke University.
(PK) Psychokinesis - A paranormalability that can affect physical objects from afar. The word psychokinesis is interchangeable with Telekinesis. It can happen all of the sudden or be used at will. It is the human mind controlling , moving, levitating, and changing shapes of material things. PK or TK can even bring about the outcome of events. Mediums, since many posses the power of ESP, use it often. All of the table-tipping, levitation's, rapping noises, and even the materialization of ectoplasm is likely to be caused by psychokinesis. A form of PK is Teleportation,which is the mind causing objects to move a good distance, causing objects to pass through other solid objects, and the ability to make things materialize and dematerialize.This , along with other PK phenomena happen often in poltergeist cases and hauntings. PK can be negatively affected by boredom and anxiety.

Vortexes
A vortex can be either a funnel shaped mass of light that is found in pictures along side of orbs, or can be a circular, whirling mass of energy and light which seem to be sucking inward due to an impression around the center of the phenomena. Funnel shaped vortexes are usually seen in photos(especially with orbs), where as the larger, circular vortex can and has been seen by the naked eye. These strange, and fascinating phenomenas happen suddenly and disappear just as fast. Some witnesses of vortexes have even seen landscapes and buildings that may be from another time, dimension, or even both. People have been afraid to step into them for fear of not coming back, which may very well happen considering how unpredictable and brief they are. Orbs have also been seen going in and out of them in videos which is why vortexes are also referred to as portals. Another characteristic that comes with vortexes is a loss of time, much like the kind people experience when encountering UFO's. Others will feel as if time has simply frozen, or no longer exists.
Some people say that vortexes form in places where there is a high amount of paranormal activity, like Stonehenge in England, the Bermuda Triangle, and other places of paranormal phenomena. Some label these areas as Warps. In a warp you can expect just about anything to happen. All kinds of paranormal phenomena can come from them. Vortexes may explain why so many people have vanished in the Bermuda Triangle. Those people that disappeared may still be very well alive, just not in this time, or dimension. If you do ever encounter a vortex, I recommend attempting to photograph it, but never walking into it. You may become lost forever.
