I have been toying with my knowledge of how emotional states effect manifestation. There is a particular emotion that I know is the most powerful to work with. I have dubbed it THE ZONE. It is where I believe miracles are created. It is that place where you are crying or near tears from overwhelming feelings of undiluted joy. I would like to try to incorporate that feeling into a group meditation. I think we all have a favorite piece of music or video that effectively puts us in that state of consciousness. I have also come to understand that when we are just broadcasting LOVE from THE ZONE it radiates for miles and miles in all directions. This is what quickens the awakening of others, without violating the principle of FREE WILL. It is also beneficial in healing our beloved Gaia of all of the abuse she has suffered.

I would also like to use the 11:11 energy, another powerful tool, to the mix. Dawn breaks each day in New Zealand. So, 11:11 New Zealand time is when we should join in this collective endeavor of co-creation. The object is to stay in THE ZONE, in unity, for as long as possible.

QUIET SUNSPOTS: There are four sunspots visible on the Earthside of the sun. None of them is actively flaring. NOAA forecasters put the odds of an M-class solar flare today at no more than 5%. Solar flare alerts: text, voice.

INCOMING COMET: In little more than a month, Comet PanSTARRS will cross the orbit of Mercury and probably brighten to naked-eye visibility as it absorbs the heat of the nearby sun. Sky watchers around the world will be looking for it in the sunset skies of early March, when it passes closest to the sun and to Earth. Until then a telescope is required; here is the view last night through a 0.3-meter-diameter reflector in Argentina:

A team of astronomers led by Martin Masek took the picture using the remotely-controlled F(/Ph)otometric Robotic Atmospheric Monitor--"FRAM" for short. "The stars are trailed in this 9x120s exposure, which tracked the comet," explains Masel.

From time to time, we may all feel fed up with humanity, whether it's from learning about what's going on around the world, or what’s going on next door. There are always situations that leave us feeling as if people are simply not capable of behaving in a way that is coming from a place of awareness. Often it seems as if people are actually geared to handle things in the worst possible way, repeatedly. At the same time, none of us wants to linger in a judgmental mood about our own species. As a result, we might tend to repress the feelings coming up as we take in the news from the world and the neighborhood.
