2012 – super-symmetry

Have you felt a strange quality in your day-to-day, over the past 2-3 weeks? Have you been noticing an elevated level of synchronicity lately? Have things materialized in your reality that you were just talking about the night before?

I’ve been meaning to blog about this for weeks… it started out as me wanting to write about all the crazy synchronicities of late… but then i realized that this subject, as most enlightend output tends to be, seemed connected to a lot of other aspects of my reality… from feelings of “life-out-of-balance” to recently reported black hole activity…

At some points along your journey, there are places where you can take a step back and observe how everything is connected with such breathtaking symmetry… for just a few moments everything seems to be in perfect balance… You want to tell people about what you’re seeing but you get so wrapped up in watching it all transpire that you get stuck on stupid… and you’re afraid to talk about it for fear of becoming distracted from that moment and losing sight of it altogether.

That’s what happened here. i’ve been sitting back watching this perfect universe rotate and undulate and change and evolve and crack it’s jokes and teach it’s lessons for a few weeks now… so enamored by it all that i don’t even know where to begin in documenting or sharing it.

I feel like 2012 is closer and more real and more positive than ever before… i feel like it’s beginning to rear it’s unprecendented unimaginable head and, before long, this crystalline moment of snowflake-like perfection will be upon all of us… and we will all take our hats off and look up to the sky as the change we’ve all been waiting for washes over everything…

…Or not. but I, personally, am rooting for transformation.

Damn this is coming up fast!

Jet From Supermassive Black Hole Seen Blasting Neighboring Galaxy

www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn…66.html

*********************************

“What we’ve identified is an act of violence by a black hole, with an unfortunate nearby galaxy in the line of fire,” said Dan Evans, the study leader at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in Cambridge. He said any planets orbiting the stars of the smaller galaxy would be dramatically affected, and any life forms would likely die as the jet’s radiation transformed the planets’ atmosphere.

Black holes are generally thought of as mysterious cosmic phenomena that swallow matter, but the supermassive ones that occur at the center of many — possibly all — galaxies also set loose tremendous bursts of energy as matter swirls around the disk of material that circles the black hole but does not make it in.

That energy, often in the form of highly charged gamma rays and X-rays, shoots out in powerful jets that can be millions of light-years long and 1,000 light-years wide.

Scientists are just beginning to understand these jets, which not only transform matter in their path but also help produce “stellar nurseries,” where new stars are formed.

Evans’s collaborator, Martin Hardcastle of the University of Hertfordshire in England, said the collision they have identified began no more than 1 million years ago and could continue for 10 million to 100 million more years. Hardcastle called the collision a great opportunity to learn more about the jets.

*********************************

“Stellar nurseries” that last millions of years… Wow can you say “big bang?”

also… looking at the illustration above… it kind of answers my old question, “How could a possible ‘alignment’ with a black hole as far away as the center of our galaxy possibly affect US?” At news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/scien…7148671.stm it says, “Jets can race out at close to the speed of light and can travel vast distances. The jet in 3C321 was about 1,000 light-years across and might have travelled one or two million light-years from its origin.”

I wonder what it’s like for the planetary inhabitants whose atmospheres transform.. if we’re talking about matter transforming, then maybe it isn’t just the atmosphere that changes… i would think that the water.. the ground… the inhabitants themselves would transform… I don’t know what that feels like but I hope it’s fucking dope and not cataclysmic. Cuz what if 2012 turned out to be something like this for OUR galaxy? In that case I certainly HOPE the experience is more of an evolutionary crecendo than the bummer of a thousand lifetimes… I better not throw up yarn.

That was the craziest fun I’ve had in a long time!

There is nothing quite like storming the Macy’s at Union Square with hundreds of Santas all shouting “BUY MORE CRAP!!!!”… running up and down the 6 flights of escalators…

There is nothing like several hundred santas on a ferry… secret-service elves running around keeping the ’08 presidential candidates (Santa and Frosty ’08 yo) safe from harm…

There is nothing like an Irish Bar spitting santas out into the street one after the other until cars turned into submarines, submerged in red and white fluff.

There is nothing like starting at 10am and “coming-to” at 2:40am in your friend’s bed with no recollection of how you got there… but luckily everything precious to you is still in your possession…

Yeah I’d do it again. =)
