SOLAR PROMINENCE: Today, a network of plasma-filled magnetic filaments is rising over the sun's northwestern limb. Some of the arcs in this Solar Dynamics Observatory image taken during the early hours off Jan. 18th are nearly 500,000 km long:

The vast structure is an easy target for backyard solar telescopes. If you have one, take a look. Any instability in the magnetic thicket of this prominence could produce a spectacular eruption framed by the black of space over the sun's horizon.

I’ve just had a chance to read Ben’s latest update.  Ben’s information seems, as is often the case with economic forecasts, a projection of past and present trends into the future.

As you know, I value Ben’s information and his service to the harmonious outworking of our future. But I have to demur regarding his projections. Not as if I like doing so and not as if I don’t do it with respect.

For instance, Ben says here:

Commentary from the Galactic Free Press~ Because of the Importance and Sensitivity for the Oneness Energy on The Planet, we will be running the Press Until Noon Pacific Time, and then we will go into solidarity with Everyone On the Internet~ The Press will resume the next day. We are making a Stand with You~ Love Mother and Father God and the Galactic Free Press Staff

Tomorrow, January 18th, 2012, will be the largest internet protest in history. Thousands of sites across the internet, including some of the biggest in the world, will be blacking out and directing people to contact Congress to kill the web censorship bill, SOPA and PIPA. And so will the Galactic Free Press, because we came here to fully particpate in the ushering of this planet in to a time of peace and abundance for all.

In just 7 days, the Senate will vote on forever altering the free and open internet by instituting a new regime of extra-judicial, corporate-led website takedowns. This is a fundamental fight about who has power in society -- the people with the means to communicate freely or the governments and corporations that feel threatened.

A journey of peaks, plateaus and a few dips along the way~

 Commentary from the Galactic Free Press~Julie speaks of darkness~ We feel we need to clarify here. The darkness is just all the illusionary unconscious aspects. Through completely letting those go, you will see Clearly in the light. You cannot integrate darkness, for darkness is not real. You also cannot balance the darkness, thats impossible~ When you let go of everything that is not real aka dark. Then you Live in light of Joy~ Love Mother and Father God and The Entire Galactic Free Press Staff
