^^^I guess, Kerry, that the Horn of Africa wants to become in

I wish I knew more about what's going on in Somalia and how
things are meant to go; but I guess I was told what I needed to
know.
I see I forgot to relate how another piece of news gave me a
jolt. I told about the experiment with the atheist assistant
with magnetic north; but I didn't give the news I ran across
later.
[quote author=Kerry link=topic=718.msg8335#msg8335

If I was living alone, very few "strange things" would happen.
I had my mind under control most of the time. If other people
were around though, strange things would start happening. It
must have been the combination of their "mental projections"
with the power I had. I had an atheist who believed in
nothing become convinced I had put a curse on him. I had done
nothing to him.
That was the fellow who helped me with my experiment with
magnetism. Did I ever relate this?
I wanted to get the north magnetic pole to move a certain way.
I wanted to see if I could change how the magnetic lines ran
where I lived. I got a compass and got on one side of the room
with a door. I put the compass directly into the corner of the
door jamb. I had him take a pencil and mark on the wallpaper
on the north wall where magnetic north was. Then I got him to
look at the compass to verify the mark was in the right place.
Then I prayed about it for a month or so. Then we did the
experiment again. Yes, the line had moved -- about five
degrees.
So anyway the atheist fellow saw the results; and I said,
"Aren't you going to say anything about it? Aren't you
surprised?" He didn't act that surprised.
Could I have done this if enough people had been thinking about
magnetic north? I doubt it. [/quote]
The news was about an airport in Florida.
January 6, 2011
HTML http://www.foxnews.com/tech/2011/01/06/magnetic-north-pole-shifts-forces-closure-florida-airport.html
The planet's northern magnetic pole is drifting slowly but
steadily towards Russia -- and it's throwing off planes in
Florida.
Tampa International Airport was forced to readjust its runways
Thursday to account for the movement of the Earth's magnetic
fields, information that pilots rely upon to navigate planes.
Thanks to the fluctuations in the force, the airport has closed
its primary runway until Jan. 13 to change taxiway signs to
account for the shift, the Federal Aviation Administration said.
The poles are generated by movements within the Earth's inner
and outer cores, though the exact process isn't exactly
understood. They're also constantly in flux, moving a few
degrees every year, but the changes are almost never of such a
magnitude that runways require adjusting, said Paul Takemoto, a
spokesman for the FAA.
The magnetic fields vary from place to place. Adjustments are
needed now at airports in Tampa, but they aren't immediately
required at all airports across the country.
So just how often is something like this necessary? "It happens
so infrequently that they wouldn't venture a guess," Takemoto
told FoxNews.com. "In fact, you're the first journalist to ever
ask me about it."
I'll admit it, I felt a little guilty. Airports are used to
slow drifts. That one seemed to catch them off guard. Could it
have been a coincidence? I guess so. I don't know. What I
know is I got the results I asked for and then felt a little
guilty about it.

You appear to have two minds about it. On one hand, you say you
feel a bit guilty and on the other, you say that you guess it's
a coincidence. In order for it to be "scientific", you probably
well know you'd have to repeat it with positive results. If
you're feeling somewhat guilty, I'd say try something else which
would have you feeling guilt-free and perhaps happy/satisfied
since to me, you seem to be leaning toward believing it.
Something that you'd know would be beneficial to someone.
Unsolicited, of course, so's no worries :).

What a strange dream I had this afternoon. I was dreaming about
an ultraviolet light bulb. It was special because it was able
to zap carbon dioxide if you wanted it to. There was a small
square button at the base; and if you pushed it, it talked to
you to tell you the function was turned on. Then it made little
zapping sounds the way bug zappers do.
It got stranger when I woke up. I researched it a bit and found
out that ultraviolet light can and does interact with carbon
dioxide. The one experiment I saw used a source of ultraviolet
light in a vacuum. I thought the light bulb I saw was open to
the air -- certainly the bulb itself wasn't sealed since air
flowed into it and the CO2 got zapped; but perhaps the source
itself was isolated.
Someone must be working on a light-bulb that will remove CO2.
If you could modify them slightly, they might be removing CO2
when they're being used for other things. I know I wasn't
thinking about ultraviolet light bulbs. I must have made a
connection with someone who was thinking about them. I don't
think I had a good picture though of the light bulb. I think my
mind got some basic details right but then got fanciful with the
button and having it talk.

We'll see how much magnetic north gets changed if the situation
in North Korea changes for the better. I feel confident the
"dark energy" in North Korea has altered the magnetic field
considerably by pushing the magnetic north pole one way or
another -- not sure which way.

I found an article about the north magnetic pole's shifting. I
found it amusing, so I must not feel that guilty.
Earth’s magnetic pole is on the move, fast. And we don’t know
why
HTML https://www.news.com.au/technology/science/earths-magnetic-pole-is-on-the-move-fast-and-we-dont-know-why/news-story/341c92307a6b19d25b38836c6097be9d
January 11, 2019
Earth’s magnetic field is what allows us to exist. It deflects
harmful radiation. It keeps our water and atmosphere in place.
But now it’s acting up — and nobody knows why.
Why do they say "nobody" knows why. How unscientific of them to
say that. They could have said they didn't know why, but they
shouldn't speak on behalf of everyone else.
On January 30 (delayed due to the US Government shutdown), the
World Magnetic Model — which governs modern navigation systems —
is due to undergo an urgent update.
This model is a vital component of systems ranging from
geopositioning systems used to navigate ships through to
smartphone trackers and maps.
The current model was expected to be valid until 2020. But the
magnetic pole began to shift so quickly, it was realised in 2018
that the model had to be fixed — now.
“They realised that it was so inaccurate that it was about to
exceed the acceptable (safe) limit for navigational errors,”
Nature reports.
Every year, geophysicists from the US National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the British Geological
Survey do a check on how the Earth’s magnetic field is varying.
This is necessary as the liquid iron churning in the Earth’s
core does not move in a consistent manner.
Do they think the "churning" of the liquid iron core is random?
Again, how unscientific. They should have more faith in science
and believe the iron core is obeying certain laws that are
consistent but they don't what all the laws are yet. Why accuse
the iron core of being inconsistent?

As a believer, I believe it's God ultimately that allows us to
exist but that might not be too scientific for some yet. I'm
just hoping for now that my hot soup stays in its bowl instead
of sloshing onto my lap and I'd hate to have to blame someone
for that :P.

From the scientific view of things, I assert that only one thing
is completely certain, and that is that awareness exists. Even
if our thoughts are wrong, the awareness still exists. Science
has fallen into the clutches of materialism so solidly, they now
hypothesize that maybe only matter exists and that awareness is
a by-product of matter. The theory that consciousness is a
product of matter could be held to be a valid scientific theory;
but it is a dubious matter to be so sure about matter while
being skeptical about awareness.

curves for that, not gravity since gravity is not a real force
according to science but merely an apparent force. Einstein
showed that, we are told; but that doesn't stop scientists from
looking for gravitons -- the hypothetical particles that
allegedly transfer the "force" of gravity.
HTML http://curious.astro.cornell.edu/physics/137-physics/general-physics/particles-and-quantum-physics/813-what-is-a-graviton-intermediate
The graviton is a hypothetical particle which is thought to be
responsible for transferring the force of gravity.
What? I thought Einstein showed that gravity isn't a force, yet
here these people are talking about it as if it is a real force.
Meanwhile your soup stays in the bowl.

Right you are about the chicken-egg nature of the apparent
consciousness/matter divide for some. As a believer, I'm
compelled to understand that God is Primal Consciousness, that
is, whatever, whoever we think God is, we can say (as believers)
that God was/is conscious first (Spirit/Thought), not material.
From there, as believers we understand that since God is Creator
and we're made in His image, we too are consciousness. Now, that
and two bucks might get me a decent cup of coffee from the
scientific community cafe, and they'd be correct about it. It's
not scientific until proven by repeated demonstration.
The spiritualist and materialist can continue the discussion but
either one has to demonstrate their theory by repeated
successful demonstration. We had more than one who did
demonstrate the primacy of Spirit, indeed, the evidence that
"matter" must completely obey it, and one above all, Jesus. In
fact, we're told that matter is good for nothing. As
believers/followers, we too are to demonstrate the primacy of
Spirit/Consciousness as the All, the only Reality. These are the
"works" Jesus meant of Himself and those who believe in Him.
Even those who don't believe that He is the "Saviour" were told
to believe His works if not Him as Saviour of all mankind. It's
through those repeated works that one can ultimately see Jesus
as most practical and True.
Ya, I think there's a kind of popular science that differs
somewhat from what the actual scientific papers say at times
just like there are rumours of what Christianity is about
separate from what was meant by it.

[/quote]Is matter good for nothing? Perhaps we are using
different definitions. Or does matter find fulfillment when it
obeys spirit so that conflicts cease to exist? As I see it,
matter as a form of consciousness waiting to be expressed
damages itself when it tries to rule over spirit. There is
something confused and mangled within matter. When spirit
begins to think matter is stronger than spirit, spirit itself
begins a descent into unrealism and spirit may even begin to
imitate matter, wishing to be material since it views matter as
stronger than spirit.
Consider the body Jesus had following the Resurrection. He
could make it appear and disappear at will. Walls were not a
problem. He could, if he wanted, make it appear as "solid" as
"regular" matter. This is contrary to how we usually think
about matter since we see matter as persisting on its own. What
we want doesn't mean much, so matter seems more powerful than
spirit. I think Jesus showed that the real purpose of "matter"
was not to become rebellious against spirit but meant to
manifest whatever spirit wished.
Consider the usual anxiety about bodies. We are even worried
frequently about preserving the physical flesh after the
physical body stops working. Why? What good does embalming
bodies do? We are worried that if our physical bodies were to
disappear, we'd be in a fix and unable to operate as we want.
The contrary seems true to me: Our current physical bodies
often prevent us from doing what we want.
We agree that we exist because God projects us. I think there
are projections below that level and we project a lot. The
problem for us arose when we began projecting against one
another with opposing projections. For me, the solidity of
matter involves a collision of spiritual energies that occurred
either (1) when two spirits wanted their projections to occupy
the same space, or (2) when two spirits disagreed about where a
projection should be, or (3) when one spirit grew resentful or
angry and jealous and tried to "wish" the projection of another
spirit out of existence. Matter under those conditions could
not obey both spirits. Thus the atoms involved grew confused
and somewhat disobedient, seemingly having a mind of their own.
I once wondered what it would be like to be a physical object
and decided to enter something to experience it. I started to
feel very confused and unintelligent, and I stopped and
withdrew. I was unprepared to deal with it; I was not strong
enough to "make the darkness light." I believe that spirit
can untangle the confusion inherent within matter that resulted
from spirits trying to impose conflicting realities.
I also believe that each saint, just by living his life obedient
to the guidance of the Holy Spirit, is actively working at
sorting out the confusion within matter. I do not view the
"miracles" of the saints as being outside the laws of science.
I see the saints as having worked out so much of the confusion
within matter, that their bodies started behaving the way bodies
should. I think most Christians are doing this but to a lesser
extent. Daily the saints are helping to convert darkness into
the Light; but for the most part, this is concealed from the
eyes of the impious.
It is also frequently concealed because so many people worship
matter -- and if people worship matter, even the saints should
think twice before opposing them. That could be creating more
conflicts. We find that even Jesus did not do perform
"miracles" for some people. We also find him consulting with
some people asking them for their consent before healing them.
