About Me

Thinking about the *SUN*... As we revolve around the *SUN* it provides our planet with the energy it needs to support life as we know it. Seekers Of Light enjoy staying conscious of our great *SUN* and it's energy. It is a common energy with which we may connect with one another. ALL PRAISES TO THE *SUN* peace------- The earth has received the embrace of the sun and we shall see the results of that love. -Sitting Bull- These are the soul's changes. I don't believe in ageing. I believe in forever altering one's aspect to the sun. Hence my optimism. -Virginia Woolf- The higher the sun ariseth, the less shadow doth he cast; even so the greater is the goodness, the less doth it covet praise; yet cannot avoid its rewards in honours. -Lao Tzu- I looked at my hands, to see if I was the same person now I was free. There was such a glory over everything, the sun came like gold through the trees, and over the fields, and I felt like I was in heaven. -Harriet Tubman-
HOW THE SKY WORKS(northern hemisphere)..... Equinox = Equals Spring and Fall(The sun rises due east all over the world without regard to latitude.)[Summer Solstice=The longest day of the year. At 45 degrees North latitude it is about 63 degrees East of mag. North. The sun rises high in the sky from the NE][Winter solstice=The sun rises from the SE and is low in the sky (hence it is cold). Over the period of a year the sun moves from rising in the NE to the SE and back. When it rises in the NE it is summer. When it rises in the SE it is winter. When it rises due East it is spring or fall.]
What is a rainbow?... Author Donald Ahrens in his text Meteorology Today describes a rainbow as "one of the most spectacular light shows observed on earth". Indeed the traditional rainbow is sunlight spread out into its spectrum of colors and diverted to the eye of the observer by water droplets. The "bow" part of the word describes the fact that the rainbow is a group of nearly circular arcs of color all having a common center.----- Where is the sun when you see a rainbow?... This is a good question to start thinking about the physical process that gives rise to a rainbow. Most people have never noticed that the sun is always behind you when you face a rainbow, and that the center of the circular arc of the rainbow is in the direction opposite to that of the sun. The rain, of course, is in the direction of the rainbow.-----
What makes the colors in the rainbow?... The traditional description of the rainbow is that it is made up of seven colors - red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. Actually, the rainbow is a whole continuum of colors from red to violet and even beyond the colors that the eye can see. The colors of the rainbow arise from two basic facts:Sunlight is made up of the whole range of colors that the eye can detect. The range of sunlight colors, when combined, looks white to the eye. This property of sunlight was first demonstrated by Sir Isaac Newton in 1666. Light of different colors is refracted by different amounts when it passes from one medium (air, for example) into another (water or glass, for example).
Originally referred to as your star sign, your Sun sign represents the sign of the Zodiac that the Sun was in at the time of your birth. The Sun rules willpower and ego. It is the core of your potential and uniqueness as an individual; who you are and what you are about.Your Sun sign represents the main direction and focus you want your life to take and your determination to accomplish what you set out to do. It represents your personal honesty and integrity, your ability to command respect and authority and your capacity to impress and influence others
Astrological signs are categorised by their ancient, elemental identities of fire, air, water, and earth These elements are considered the building blocks of existence at all levels. They interpret a much broader range of experience than the "chemical elements" of modern science, and should not be confused with them. They are also known as the quadruplicities.Each sign is also identified by its quality.That is whether it is cardinal, fixed, or mutable. These features are known as the triplicities and are usually interpreted in conjunction with the elements or quadruplicities.
Earth== Practical and Stable, the Earth nurtures and provides the fertile soil for the growth of the spirit. Indicative of strength and resource as well as common sense. ------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------- Air== Intellectual and Communicative, the Air is inventive and alert providing the intelligence to carry through ideas. Often indicates a co-operative nature combined with a desire to explain. ------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------- Fire== Enthusiastic and Active, Fire is the force of the spirit generating idealism and will. Stimulating creation and creativity as well as providing the underlying strength behind endeavour. ------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------- Water== Emotional and Intuitive, Water enables change and progress. Compassion and artistic ability as well as psychic abilities are associated with this quality. ------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------------------------------------------------- Cardinal== Enterprising and Outgoing. Cardinal signs are active, self-motivated and ambitious. Often leading or promoting ideas in any group. ------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------- Fixed== Unchanging and Stable. Fixed signs provide consistency, preserving heritage and holding onto traditional values. Filled with purpose and strength, a defender. ------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------- Mutable== Adaptable and Changing. Mutable signs learn and develop, able to see all sides to an issue and accept their opinion may change to match the reality.

My Interests

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants, some bacteria, and some protistans use the energy from sunlight to produce sugar, which cellular respiration converts into ATP, the "fuel" used by all living things. The conversion of unusable sunlight energy into usable chemical energy, is associated with the actions of the green pigment chlorophyll. Most of the time, the photosynthetic process uses water and releases the oxygen that we absolutely must have to stay alive. Oh yes, we need the food as well!We can write the overall reaction of this process as:6H2O + 6CO2 ---------- C6H12O6+ 6O2 Most of us don't speak chemicalese, so the above chemical equation translates as:six molecules of water plus six molecules of carbon dioxide produce one molecule of sugar plus six molecules of oxygen

The first light of dawn stimulates the retina of your eye to make serotonin, which in turn activates your pineal gland, deep within your brain, to make even more serotonin. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that acts like an “on” switch to get you up and out into the world. Interestingly, serotonin also gives you confidence and self-esteem. Could the high demand for medications be at least partially due to people not getting up with the sun and into the light of the outdoors?

Winding down With the decline of light at dusk, the retina of your eye begins to turn serotonin into melatonin. This in turn activates your pineal gland to do the same. The conversion of serotonin into melatonin is only a slight biochemical shift, but it has a dramatic effect on your entire being. Melatonin is the “off” switch that begins to shut down your “dayshift” systems so they can be recharged and repaired. Your “nightshift” crew includes growth hormone, which repairs proteins that might have been damaged during your day’s exertions eeking out a living. The deeper your sleep, the greater the repair job growth hormone can do.

As your adrenal glands gradually shut down, a new batch of adrenal hormones is produced and stored. Melatonin also stimulates your thymus gland to make hormones that activate your immune system to destroy any invaders and assist in repair.Melatonin, unlike serotonin, can readily slip through any membrane in your body, including your blood/brain barrier where its powerful antioxidant properties protect your delicate brain from free radicals.

Music:



The OHM tone is based on the elliptical orbit of the earth, which makes it a grounding, centering and energizing frequency. It is the sound which rings out when the world is active, alive. If it were dead, the sound would be impossible to hear. In a word it is the ancient sound by which we live. The sound is the embodiment of the so-called LIGHT which we are all searching for in spiritual areas as we continue upward. From the most varied sources, we have discovered that after death light awaits us. Basically all religions tell us, that at the end, the greatest of lights is waiting for us, no matter what name it goes by. OHM is used in some present day religions as the word Amen. To a great extent it is represented in the liturgy. It has been said in some circles that OHM is the pranavah, or the primeval first mantra. It is the sound which comes from us.

The basis of OHM is the assumption that the center of the world and the entire universe is a vibration at the most varied durations. The universe is therefore consisting of trembling, tones, vibration, strength and light. Within our body the vibration creates an innumerable amount of sounds, which strike at the various levels of our consciousness. Concentrating the mind on these sounds, we achieve a softening of the thought waves, and by this a cleansing of the mind of rough and tangible imaginings. We have it within ourselves, while we live it is there. Yet we must constantly search for the tone OHM, learn to listen to it, and attempt to hold its vibration within us. This cosmic sound can be heard in all tones, whether high or low.

Our Star, the Sun We all know that the Sun is overwhelmingly important to life on Earth, but few of us have been given a good description of our star and its variations. The Sun is an average star, similar to millions of others in the Universe. It is a prodigious energy machine, manufacturing about 3.8 x 1023 kiloWatts (or kiloJoules/sec). In other words, if the total output of the Sun was gathered for one second it would provide the U.S. with enough energy, at its current usage rate, for the next 9,000,000 years. The basic energy source for the Sun is nuclear fusion, which uses the high temperatures and densities within the core to fuse hydrogen, producing energy and creating helium as a byproduct.
In the picture above, two types of hydrogen atoms, deuterium and tritium, combine to make a helium atom and an extra particle called a neutron. The core of the Sun is so dense and the size of the Sun so great that energy released at the center of the Sun takes about 50,000,000 years to make its way to the surface, undergoing countless absorptions and re-emissions in the process.
If the Sun were to stop producing energy today, it would take 50,000,000 years for significant effects to be felt at Earth!The Sun has been producing its radiant and thermal energies for the past four or five billion years. It has enough hydrogen to continue producing for another hundred billion years. However, in about ten to twenty billion years the surface of the Sun will begin to expand, enveloping the inner planets (including Earth). At that time, our Sun will be known as a red giant star. If the Sun were more massive, it would collapse and re-ignite as a helium-burning star. Due to its average size, however, the Sun is expected to merely contract into a relatively small, cool star known as a white dwarf.
