Does It Matter if You’re a Pleiadian Starseed? ∞The Creators, Channeled by Daniel Scranton, February 14, 2025

“We are The Creators. We are twelfth-dimensional collective of nonphysical beings and we are here to help. In your discovery of more of who you are, you may have developed a tendency to become more fascinated by who you were in other lifetimes, in other dimensions, and in other star systems than you are by exploring who you are in the here and now. And it's understandable because those other aspects of you are different. They are new to you. It is a novel experience to explore them, and it helps you to expand out your sense of self, and that's a good thing and it's a healthy thing. But it can also limit you in a variety of ways to do this when you start to think of yourself as only a Pleiadian starseed, or you start to think of yourself as having had more importance in a lifetime when you were in Egypt and you were a high priest or a high priestess. Those other experiences are for you to draw from and integrate into this self that you are, but you are also helping them by living what you are living in the here and now, even if to you your life doesn't seem that interesting or exciting by comparison. It is interesting and exciting to them because you are on the verge of extra-terrestrial contact for the entire planet, and you are on the verge of shifting your consciousness to a fifth-dimensional frequency range. You are also awakened, and you continue to add more knowledge to your knowledge base. And so from other perspectives, you are quite interesting, and there is so much that you have decided to tackle, to take on, in this lifetime, that the other aspects of who you really are get quite interested in seeing exactly how you are going to face that financial challenge, that relationship challenge, or that health challenge. Those are the ways you have chosen to grow in this life, and those other aspects of you have chosen to grow in other ways. They understand that there is value to them in connecting to you, but they don't lose their identity in doing so. And we would invite you to do the same. See yourself, in this human form, living this life that you are living, as being just as important as the seventh dimensional Sirian who is part of a council that is helping to create peace agreements for all sectors of the galaxy. You can see yourself ultimately as an aspect of Source of All-That-Is, and therefore not even get so caught up in the details of those other lives, because you are everything, and you will experience everything. And what's most important in all of this is the way you feel yourself growing and expanding. It is not important how you identify in the moment. You don't have to think so much about what you should call yourself, because people feel you, and that is what's most important to them. And if you take some time to feel into yourself every day and reacquaint yourself with that feeling that always exists inside of you because it is you, then you will have the most grandiose sense of self that you can have, but it won't be a delusion of grandeur. It will be because you have tapped into the truth of who you are. We are The Creators, and we love you very much.”

The Upheavals Causing These Times of Transformation ∞St. Germain, Channeled by Daniel Scranton, February 10, 2025

"I am St. Germain, keeper of the violet flame. You are all going through times of transformation, and in times of transformation, there are various upheavals that happen. You are in that process right now. You are not just transforming your governments, your countries, your economies, but rather you are transforming yourselves, and that is where all the fun is. Now, something might happen outside of you to be a catalyst to get you to transform yourself, but when you see that catalyst as a blessing, then it can become the blessing that it was always meant to be. If you see it as an inconvenience or something horrible that has happened, then chances are you are only going to create a reaction to it within yourself that will result in negative consequences from it. The upheaval happens within you on an emotional level to get you to pay more attention to what is happening at the level of thought and belief in your mind. When you are paying more attention to thoughts and beliefs, you are more capable of shifting them, and even when it is the emotion that gets your attention you then have an opportunity to breathe your way through that emotion and to show yourself that you can handle any emotion that comes up within you. You don't have to numb yourself to it. You don't have to suppress it or deny its existence. These emotions will get your attention one way or another so that you can examine what your relationship is to yourself, your life, other people, Source Energy, your planet, and whatever it is that you need to be made aware of in that moment. Everything has meaning, but everything is also a symbol for something else. Everything has significance, but its significance is determined by the experiencer of it. Therefore, you must be willing to investigate what is going on inside of you in order to get to the deeper truth of what something means to you, what it symbolizes to you, how you feel in response to it. Notice that I didn't say “How it makes you feel.” And that is because I want you all to know that you are the one who is determining how you feel about something, and you want to feel at least neutral about everything, eventually, because you want to be the one who is deciding in the moment how you are going to respond to something, and you have the capacity to turn anything into a positive experience for you, for humanity, for the entire galaxy and universe. That power has always existed within you, and now that you are awake, you simply need to know how to access that power. You access it by being more aware. Awareness is your friend. It is a superpower, and those who have it and demonstrate it are the ones who look the happiest and who seem to be living the best lives because they used their awareness to modify something. They used their awareness to move towards something that was resonating with them, that was lighting them up, and filling them with love and joy. These are the tasks before you at this time, humanity. And those of us who exist in the higher realms know you can handle all the changes, all the upheavals, because you want this transformation. You want to move to the next level of consciousness, and you’re not just going to get there because a bunch of spaceships land. You're going to get there because of what's inside of you waiting to be tapped in to by you. I am Saint Germain, keeper of the violet flame.”

Amazing Technologies to Come to Humanity ∞The 9D Arcturian Council, Channeled Daniel Scranton, February 9, 2025

“Greetings. We are The Arcturian Council. We are pleased to connect with all of you. You have amazing technologies that you have yet to tap in to, and we are talking about the technologies that are inside of your physical human bodies. Many of you are excited for the e.t.s to come and to share with you their externalized technologies, but they do not compare at all to what you have within you. In other words, what you see outside of you is only a fraction of what you contain inside of you, but what you see outside of you is also a reflection of what you've been able to tune in to that is inside of you thus far. Therefore, once again, we will caution you against giving your power away to those technologies and those people who say they have the technologies that you lack. You lack nothing. You have everything inside of you. Once you see it outside of you, in an externalized-technological device, then you start to believe in the possibility that you can also do what that device does. That is the real benefit to all of you knowing about these technologies. It is not for you then to sit on your hands and wait until the med beds come, or the replicators come, or the free energy devices come, or anything else that you might know about, or have heard about, and think is the be all end all. Again, it is you. You are an aspect of Source Energy. You are a unique aspect of Source Energy. And so when you hear about some new piece of technology that has just hit the open market, instead of lining up and getting excited and spending a lot of your money to be one of the first ones who has it, ask yourself the question of, “What can I tap into today that I couldn't have yesterday?” We know that some of you do this, and we have recommended that you do it many times. But as we give you this piece, we know now that more of you will listen. You will heed our advice, and you will get quiet, clear your minds of all the clutter, and allow yourselves to feel what is magical, what is new, and what is available to you when you do go within. You will not be disappointed. You will be blown away. And even the spiritual gifts and abilities that you know about right now are just a fraction of the ones that you will be able to access as you move forward on your ascension journeys. We are The Arcturian Council, and we have enjoyed connecting with you.”

Clair Patterson - The Most Important Scientist You’ve Never Heard Of (Mental Floss)

It's a very long article, but worth the read. It makes me think about how a whole generation of people grew up with lead poisoning. It also reminds me of "forever chemicals", like PFAS, and mercury poisoning. 

As a society, we have a serious problem with polluting our Earth. I hope that in the future we will be able to clean up our mess (hopefully with advanced technology).

You Are on the Verge of Great Change on Earth ∞Thymus: The Collective of Ascended Masters, February 6, 2025

You Are on the Verge of Great Change on Earth ∞Thymus: The Collective of Ascended Masters, February 6, 2025

“Blessings. We are Thymus. We are the collective of Ascended Masters. You are on the verge of great change there on Earth, and we want to remind you that the change always starts within you. Therefore, you don't have to just sit back and wait for things to change all around you, but you can always investigate what it is that you know you want and need to change within yourself. When you see something outside of you that you determine could be better for you and everyone else, the first thing you want to do is ask yourself how it is a reflection of you and perhaps society where you are right now. You don't only want to then ask yourself what needs to change about that group, that government, that system, or that person. You want to ask yourself how you can change to better be a representation of that which you want to see out there in the world. Again, the change starts within you. And when you've been doing that work on yourselves for quite some time and you find yourself getting impatient with what is going on out there in the world that you are a part of, remember then that you are also there on earth to experience trust, faith, and patience. If you know that you have done all of the necessary work that you need to do on yourself to see the changes that you want to see out there in the world, then you can rest and relax, and simply anticipate all the wonderful changes that are coming. If you doubt that they are coming, then one of two things are true. You either doubt that the outside world will reflect the work that you've done on yourself, or you doubt that you've done enough work on yourself. And so, again, you have to go within and investigate which one of those is true. And of course, there is also that option that things are just taking longer than you thought they would take to change in the outside world. So, again, you then relax, trust, have faith, and eventually know that the changes are coming. In the meantime, you don't have to always be working on yourself. You can instead enjoy the life that you have, the world as it is right now, and know that in many ways, the world as it is right now is perfect. It is a creation of Source Energy. And therefore, Source thought that the world as it is in the moment you are experiencing it was a pretty good idea. In other words, if it was good enough in Source's eyes, then it can be good enough in your eyes. And so, part of the process of change is always going to be acceptance of what is. When you accept the world as it is in the very moment you are sitting in, then you can actually find ways of appreciating and even loving the various aspects of the world you are inhabiting. In other words, you don't have to wait until the world changes to start enjoying it. You can enjoy everything as it is in the present moment, if you make that change within yourself that is required in order for you to love and appreciate the world you are currently experiencing. And that may include your financial situation, the relationship you are in, the body you are experiencing, the work that you do. You don't want your love and your appreciation and your joy to be conditional. You want them to be unconditional, and you want to recognize that they are always a choice. You can always choose the perspective that puts you in a state of joy, or a state of love, or a state of appreciation, and when you're in those higher vibrations, the world outside of you that you've been experiencing cannot help but change because you are changing. And the reflection that you see of what's inside of you then must match what you have become. This is why we always emphasize you and what you are becoming. See yourself as your purpose, and becoming more of who you really are is that purpose, and everyone who is on planet Earth right now can do just that. You all have the tools. It's all inside of you. And it doesn't always have to feel like hard work. If it does, set it aside, go enjoy a movie, or a sunset, or a sandwich, or whatever you need to in order to feel the way you want to feel. That is all for now. We are Thymus. We are the collective of ascended masters, and we are always amongst you.”

The U.S. Military’s Recruiting Crisis By Dexter Filkins February 3, 2025

Hi, I just wanted to post this because I thought it was interesting to learn more about the U.S. military. I just finished reading, The Things They Carried by Tim O'Brien (2009)

Just wanted to say, the chapters On the Rainy River, and Speaking of Courage were very beautiful and emotionally powerful. 

About the book: 
A classic work of American literature that has not stopped changing minds and lives since it burst onto the literary scene, The Things They Carried is a ground-breaking meditation on war, memory, imagination, and the redemptive power of storytelling.   The Things They Carried depicts the men of Alpha Company: Jimmy Cross, Henry Dobbins, Rat Kiley, Mitchell Sanders, Norman Bowker, Kiowa, and the character Tim O’Brien, who has survived his tour in Vietnam to become a father and writer at the age of forty-three.  Taught everywhere from high school classrooms to graduate seminars in creative writing it has become required reading for any American and continues to challenge readers in their perceptions of fact and fiction, war and peace, courage and fear and longing.

Burnt Roman scroll digitally "unwrapped", providing first look inside for 2,000 years.

 https://old.reddit.com/r/history/comments/1ii8wyb/burnt_roman_scroll_digitally_unwrapped_providing/

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c5yvrq7dyg6o

From the article:

A badly burnt scroll from the Roman town of Herculaneum has been digitally "unwrapped", providing the first look inside for 2,000 years.

The document, which looks like a lump of charcoal, was charred by the volcanic eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79AD and is too fragile to ever be physically opened. But now scientists have used a combination of X-ray imaging and artificial intelligence to virtually unfurl it, revealing rows and columns of text.

"We're confident we will be able to read pretty much the whole scroll in its entirety" said Stephen Parsons, project lead for the Vesuvius Challenge.

Inside a huge machine called a synchrotron, electrons are accelerated to almost the speed of light to produce a powerful X-ray beam that can probe the scroll without damaging it. The scan is used to create a 3D reconstruction of the layers inside the scroll, which then need to be digitally unrolled. After this, AI is used to detect the ink. It's easier said than done - both the papyrus and ink are made from carbon and they're almost indistinguishable from each other. The AI hunts for the tiniest signals that ink might be there, then this ink is painted on digitally, bringing the letters to light.

Science is Cool.
