Underlying Jean-Michel Basquiat’s sense of himself as an artist was his innate capacity to function as something like an oracle, distilling his perceptions of the outside world down to their essence and, in turn, projecting them outward through his creative acts.

NASA’S 2013 SOLAR FLARE warning: “We know it is coming but we don’t know how bad it is going to be,” Dr. Richard Fisher, the director of Nasa’s Heliophysics division. In a new warning, Nasa said the super storm would hit like “a bolt of lightning” and could cause catastrophic consequences for the world’s health, emergency services and national security unless precautions are taken. Scientists believe it could damage everything on an electrical grid —emergency services’ systems, hospital equipment, banking systems and air traffic control devices, through to “everyday” items such as cell phones and home computers.

(1859) The Solar Superstorm, or “Carrington event” was the most powerful geomagnetic storm in recorded history. Aurorae were seen around the world, most notably over the Caribbean; also noteworthy were those over the Rocky Mountains that were so bright that their glow awoke gold miners, who began preparing breakfast because they thought it was morning. Telegraph systems all over Europe and North America failed. Some telegraph systems appeared to continue to send and receive messages despite having been disconnected from their power supplies.

Defined broadly, a visionary, is one who can envision the future. A vision can be political, religious, environmental, social, or technological in nature. By extension, a visionary can also be a person with a clear, distinctive and specific (in some details) vision of the future, usually connected with advances in technology or social/political arrangements.mortal engine

An OMEN is a phenomenon that is believed to foretell the a future event; harbinger; sign./—/SYNCHRONICITY is the experience of two or more events that are apparently causally unrelated occurring together in a meaningful manner. To count as synchronicity, the events should be unlikely to occur together by chance. [audio: Michelle LeClair recounting a peculiar story to her son ( Sonny Coates)]

You can play to a click, but if you were to listen to them playing without a click and then to a click, it would sound completely different. If you listened closely you’d hear that it ebbs and flows without the click, but obviously with one, it can’t do that. So I’m not the biggest fan of clicks, I like a song to ebb and flow* (ken nelson)

“The voice is not only indicative of a man’s character, but it is the expression of his spirit. His voice will tell you how far he has evolved… the etheric quality of the voice is inspiring, healing, peace giving, harmonizing, convincing, and appealing; at the same time it is most intoxicating.” [Hazrat Inayat Khan]

The harvest is the processes of gathering mature crops from the fields. The harvest marks the end of the growing season, or the growing cycle for a particular crop, and this is the focus of seasonal celebrations of many religions. Before the 16th century, harvest was the term usually used to refer to the AUTUMN 2010 preAMP_+ BOOK/CD season: in fact the word comes from old English hærfest, which meant Autumn (the German word Herbst has the same origin and still means Autumn).

The Earth has already touched the outer borders of the Aquarian Age radiation of the central sun, which are of the strongest and most revolutionary radiations.        Much mischief and evil is connected with this change, especially in respect to religions, and the use of new scientific discoveries and advancements.  These will increase and continue until the end of this present day civilization, which will come by way of World War III.       The way-preparers of these changes are destined, and appear according to God’s will.  They are human beings who as prophets and teachers announce the truths of knowledge and spiritual wisdom.  These way-preparers will be considered revolutionaries, heretics, liars and frauds because they will announce the truth for all to hear, and few people are prepared to accept it.
