Comet 'LINEAR' Is Breaking Up...07/28/00 by Mitch Battros (ECTV) First let me state clearly, the story you are about to read is based in facts and not that of someone who makes reckless predictions or tries to pass information disguised as science, when in fact it is no more than what many call 'channeling'. Secondly, let me remind everyone, Do not follow my truth, follow Your Truth. Recently many of us on the internet had the opportunity to witness what can happen when someone comes forward with unsubstantiated material, based on other researchers facts. Essentially yelling "Follow me, Follow me, I have "the" truth. I know something no one else does." As much as I resist saying this, I now can (in a small way) understand why NASA is very careful in what they say. This does not mean I agree with NASA's model of Public Relations. By no means do I agree or accept their policy of omission. It is my belief, NASA should welcome dissent and alternative views. The more they try to thwart, the more we are untrusting. Recently I have been approached by some "within" NASA to help set up a community round table of sorts. In other words, a collective body made up of amateur scientist and those from spiritual disciplines, some of which have a keen background in ancient text. It is said we would have access to those within NASA who would be willing to give "direct" answers or documented information which would address our query. Don't worry folks, I am not that gullible. I will use a Ronald Regan term (not that I voted for him) which he used with our Russian friends "Trust, but Verify". I believe that sums up my expectations of such a venture being discussed. Here's the good news, I believe what has finally motivated NASA to take such a welcoming approach, is perhaps they too believe much of what ancient text states is in fact true. If this is correct, there is nothing NASA can do to hide events to come. I believe they have finally realized their Public Relations Policy is a dismal failure. I believe this came about as a direct result to the power of the internet. No longer could they keep their neatly packaged research to such a privileged few. Remember, there was a time when an article would come out in the newspaper, and everyone would take it as fact. Those Days Are Gone!!!!!!! We are finding out on a daily basis that (to use a statement I so often refer) We Are All Just Kind Of Guessing! Looking back on the experience we had with those coming forward yelling "Follow me, Follow me", I am glad that it happened. It gave all us a glimpse at what I believe will continue, and even escalate substantially in the weeks and months ahead as events begin to unfold. It will be a time when fact and fiction will be purposefully entangled. Ancient text warns us "watch for the time of false prophets". It is stated from several different disciplines that during the later times prior to what I will call "the transition", many will come forward as if they have some special insights or magic and will try to manipulate others belief. It is more important now than ever before to find your place of centering. Whether it be traditional prayer, meditation, ancient ritual, ceremony, or other rites of passage, I would suggest all of us to practice our personal beliefs more often. Dr. Jose Arguelles I had one of my most exciting interviews yesterday with Jose Arguelles. He is fantastic and filled with wisdom. He has been practicing and teaching spiritual and scientific discipline since the early 60's. Jose Arguelles is most noted as being the originator/ and world coordinator of the 1987 "Harmonic Convergence". He is gifted with the ability to merge science and spirit in a most understandable way. Most of his studies are related to the Mayan Calendar. I felt a kinship with Jose and his wife Lloydine, only to be matched with that of Gregg Braden and Ian Lundgold. I believe we are all onto something BIG. It is the merging of the two worlds of science and spirit. One common denominator which all have shared, is that we are becoming more intuitive (and remembering) more than ever before. So I say this, trust your feelings, your intuition. You will need this more than ever to find your way through many deceptive paths. I will have my interview with Jose Arguelles up on our "audio archives" page in a few days. For now, you may wish to listen to past interviews with Gregg Braden, and also last weeks interview with Dr. John Brandenberg author 'Dead Mars, Dying Earth' Audio Archives: http://www.earthchangesTV.com/AudioCapture/index.htm _________________________ Now the article: Comet 'LINEAR' Is Breaking Up There is mounting evidence that the active comet C/1999 S4 (LINEAR) may not have survived its closest approach to the Sun on July 26th intact. In an International Astronomical Union Circular (IAUC #7467) published yesterday, astronomer Mark Kidger (Instituto de Astrofisica de Canarias) reported images he obtained using the Jacobus Kapteyn Telescope showing what appears to be a substantial disruption of the comet's nucleus. "I think that we'll see the comet practically disappear in a couple of nights," says Kidger. Amateur and professional astronomers are encouraged to monitor the comet for signs of additional activity. Finder charts are available from Sky & Telescope. An excellent account of Kidger's observations has been posted at http://www.cometlinear.com. IMPACT! An interplanetary shock wave struck Earth's magnetosphere at approximately 0630 UT (2:30 a.m. EDT) on July 28, 2000. The disturbance passed NASA's ACE spacecraft at 0542 UT. The solar wind velocity recorded by ACE jumped sharply from 350 to 450 km/s during a 2 minute interval. The event triggered a minor geomagnetic storm with aurora visible at high latitudes (60 degrees) in parts of Asia and Europe. The shock wave was probably sent toward Earth by a faint full-halo coronal mass ejection detected by SOHO on July 25th. METEOR OUTLOOK: (July 28 - August 3) The Perseid meteor shower is slowly gaining strength. Pre-dawn observers can spot about 5 Perseids per hour this weekend. When the shower peaks on August 12th it could produce 1 or more shooting stars per minute during the interval between moonset and sunrise.
