An article published on May 31, 2012, at ScienceDaily.com shows that moon’s surface electrical fields and local magnetic fields can deflect the solar wind back into space, a scientific reason for why the ancients had such respect for the moon.

"In the Beginning There was Light" poster (original German title, "Am Anfang war das Licht")

Tages-Anzeiger reported on April 25, 2012, that a woman in the Austrian town of Wolfhalden had starved to death after embarking on a “spiritual diet” that required her to stop eating or drinking and to live off sunlight alone.

The Zurich newspaper reported that the unnamed Swiss woman, who was in her fifties, decided to follow the radical fast in 2010 after viewing the Austrian film documentary In the Beginning There Was Light (2010) by director P. A. Straubinger on the subject of people who attempt to nourish themselves exclusively on light.

Communion on the Moon July 20, 1969

Forty-three years ago two human beings made history by walking on the surface of the moon. But what happened before Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong exited the lunar module is known by very few: Buzz Aldrin took holy communion on the surface of the moon. Some months after his return, he wrote about it in Guideposts magazine.

 “NASA has many telescopes ‘working the wavelengths’ up and down the electromagnetic spectrum. One of them, the Fermi Gamma-Ray Telescope orbiting Earth, has just crossed a new electromagnetic frontier.

“‘Fermi is picking up crazy-energetic photons,’ says Dave Thompson, an astrophysicist at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center. ‘And it’s detecting so many of them we’ve been able to produce the first all-sky map of the very high energy universe.’”

Communiqué readers may find this article interesting within the context of higher sources of energy and higher manifestations of energy, concepts which science is just now acknowledging.

REVIEW: The Healing Sun: Sunlight and Health in the 21st Century by Richard Hobday, PhD

Two contrasting paradigms of our health relationship to the sun are presented in this book: advice from the modern medical community to avoid the sun, and the record of healing work done using the sun during the first half of the 20th century. Dr. Hobday also explores the health importance of natural light in buildings and the orientation of buildings that produces the best natural light. This well-researched book is full of good, practical information on how to derive health benefits from the sun.

Can sungazers obtain limitless human potential? This is the question investigated on Preventdisease.com. by spiritual counselor Michael Forrester. His investigation begins with a review of the movie Eat the Sun and moves into quotes and claims by modern sungazers, including Omraam Aivanhov and Hira Ratan Manek (HRM). The investigation ends with a recounting of HRM’s sungazing protocol. Not mentioned in the article are Gene Savoy Sr., the Jamilian University, or the sunrise services of the International Community of Christ—all prominent in the film Eat the Sun itself.

Have you had any of the symptoms listed in this article? Dr. Tom Lee has. He reports a bout of fatigue, with tinnitus and dizziness symptoms during this last big solar storm. And he is taking notes to see whether it happens again. People have had the same symptoms, he says, before mid to large earthquakes.

Dr. Lee notes, “The point/theme of the article is to keep a positive mental attitude during these symptoms, which is a good idea with or without solar flares. The Half Past Human / WebBot project warned about the ‘sun disease,’ which seems to correlate with some Mayan prophecies.”

Earth Changes Media Newsletter has published a series of three articles on the Vatican’s interest in recent CERN experiments and findings on the charged particles that officials of the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) suggest are traveling faster than the speed of light. The experiments are attempting to determine whether the charged particles that CERN is studying are actually moving faster than the speed of light and what the activity of these particles can tell science about the origin of the cosmos.

“PART I: Vatican has full attention on charged particles”
“PART II: Ancient tribes, religion, spirit, scientifically united”
“PART III: Cryptochromes, Hadron particles—coming human transition”

Links to the three articles in the series are provided in the followup article “Finding ‘God Particle’ Is No Threat to Religion.” A link to this article is provided here: <Finding “God Particle” is no threat to religion.>
