Discovery That Trees Give Off Electricity Creates A Buzz

  • Levels of charged ions twice as high in wooded areas
  • Deep-rooted trees such as eucalyptus even higher
  • Effect created by trees ‘channelling’ radiocative radon gas from soil
  • Not thought to be harmful to health on its own
Eucalyptus
A eucalyptus forest in Heidelberg, South Africa: Scientists believe that all trees give off electricity - but the effect is particularly powerful with deep rooted trees such as eucalyptus

Trees give off electricity, scientists say – especially eucalyptus.

Scientists in Australia found the area round trees was filled with charged particles – ions – both positive and negative.

Levels were twice as high in wooded areas as they are in open, grassy areas, and deep-rooted trees such as eucalyptus were even higher.

The researchers from Queensland University of Technology don’t believe that the ions are in themselves harmful to health.

Researchers have long believed there is a link between trees and electricity in the atmosphere but have been unable to prove the association.

But scientists from the Queensland Univeristy of Technology have shown that concentrations of negative and positive ions in the atmosphere were twice as heavy in wooded area as in grassy regions.

How Titanoboa, the 40-Foot-Long Snake, Was Found

In Colombia, the fossil of a gargantuan snake has stunned scientists, forcing them to rethink the nature of prehistoric life

In the lowland tropics of northern Colombia, 60 miles from the Caribbean coast, Cerrejón is an empty, forbidding, seemingly endless horizon of dusty outback, stripped of vegetation and crisscrossed with dirt roads that lead to enormous pits 15 miles in circumference. It is one of the world’s largest coal operations, covering an area larger than Washington, D.C. and employing some 10,000 workers. The multinational corporation that runs the mine, Carbones del Cerrejón Limited, extracted 31.5 million tons of coal last year alone.

Cerrejón also happens to be one of the world’s richest, most important fossil deposits, providing scientists with a unique snapshot of the geological moment when the dinosaurs had just disappeared and a new environment was emerging. “Cerrejón is the best, and probably the only, window on a complete ancient tropical ecosystem anywhere in the world,” said Carlos Jaramillo, a paleontologist at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute. “The plants, the animals, everything. We have it all, and you can’t find it anywhere else in the tropics.”

Fifty-eight million years ago, a few million years after the fall of the dinosaurs, Cerrejón was an immense, swampy jungle where everything was hotter, wetter and bigger than it is today. The trees had wider leaves, indicating greater precipitation—more than 150 inches of rain per year, compared with 80 inches for the Amazon now. Mean temperatures may have hovered in the mid- to high-80s Fahrenheit or higher. Deep water from north-flowing rivers swirled around stands of palm trees, hardwoods, occasional hummocks of earth and decaying vegetation. Mud from the flood plain periodically coated, covered and compressed the dead leaves, branches and animal carcasses in steaming layers of decomposing muck dozens of feet thick.

The river basin held turtles with shells twice the size of manhole covers and crocodile kin—at least three different species—more than a dozen feet long. And there were seven-foot-long lungfish, two to three times the size of their modern Amazon cousins.

The lord of this jungle was a truly spectacular creature—a snake more than 40 feet long and weighing more than a ton. This giant serpent looked something like a modern-day boa constrictor, but behaved more like today’s water-dwelling anaconda. It was a swamp denizen and a fearsome predator, able to eat any animal that caught its eye. The thickest part of its body would be nearly as high as a man’s waist. Scientists call it Titanoboa cerrejonensis.

Mechanics & Function of the Global Leyline System 

Earth

Greetings! I am Metatron, Lord of Light! I embrace each of you in light, in love.

And now another precious moment brings us together, uniting thoughts within the matrix of the unified field. Combining geometric thought patterns with desire, with awareness, and so do all things come together in the same way. For all thoughts, all things, all beings are electromagnetic representations of consciousness, of manifestation, of all that ever was or ever will be.

Masters, we have spoken in many channels of the amazing qualities of the Living Earth. And we tell you that no matter how you live and love upon the Earth, you gain, you expand by exploring the majesty and wisdom of Gaia. You will not marvel about the grandeur of your planet until you experience its beauty. You will marvel at the brilliance truly contained within the Earth and delight in the vast libraries of knowledge within the multi-faceted Beingness of Gaia.

Every lifetime you have is an opportunity to explore and discover what dwells within. Upon the earth, the soul fulfills this promise by the outward movement of the in-dwelling spirit.

Ireland – The Emerald & Amethyst

Ireland contains some of the most powerful, sacred and re-generative energies on the planet. It is appropriately called the Emerald Isle because of its vibrant green hills and valleys, which indeed exude a tangible field of healing and well-being. Be aware that these incredible healing hues occur because of the life force generated in the lands.

Ireland is a very unique and very succinct frequency. There are several known locations of what is termed ‘negative gravity’ anomalies on what is termed the Emerald Isle. These ‘lighten’ the frequency and somewhat aid in its soft and gentle expression.

It is in fact the plant life, waters and sea that team with the incredible telluric energies and create the very soft, the ‘Feminine’ aspect so beautifully expressed in Ireland. These energies blend with the gravity anomaly vectors to transduce what would otherwise be a very intense energy, for it is indeed among the highest frequencies on the planet.

As such there are many locales of what is locally termed ‘ thin veils’ referring to dimensional portals dotting the landscape in Ireland. Worlds and dimensions tangibly co-exist, and vividly so in Ireland. That is why the Kingdom of the Fae, the Devic realm of Faeries, Elves and Leprechauns are so illustriously recounted among Irish lore. This actual realm does indeed present itself with great and greater visibility precisely because of the higher concentration of life force present.

And so we will say that while the energy of the Green Ray, the Emerald Field is quite predominate, the Violet Ray of the Amethyst is equally present. The lavender granites and violet magenta quartz of the sandstones create an incredible field that invokes imagination, artistry, creativity and spiritual seeking.

All of these blend & meld harmoniously throughout Ireland to form a most benevolent field, a ‘frequencial cocktail’ of extremely high yet balanced energy in Ireland. The seeker can find balance and well being in this joyful resonance of life force.

It is an energy that empowers will and independence, but within a grounded humility of nurturing. It is that of the Powerful Goddess, in your vernacular. The strength that is caring.

Much of Ireland is granitic (35% quartz) and sandstone quartzite. There are also crystalline emanations from the metamorphic strata, dating back in linear terms over 1.7 billion years. All metamorphic structures are crystalline, you see.

It is important also to note, that the land mass of Ireland was on the same latitude as Egypt some 250 million years ago, as your geologists acknowledge, and much of the sandstone carries the same ‘quartzitic’ piezo-electric vibrational resonance as that of Giza and Aswan. And that is a sacred energy. There is in fact a harmonic oscillation, an axialtonal line and Leyline connecting Newgrange to Giza. Newgrange is also connected to the Toltec Mounds of the Crystal Vortex of Arkansas.

The Morning Blessing | March 23 2012

“Being happy is the cornerstone of all that you are! Nothing is more important than that you feel good. And you have absolute and utter control about that because you can choose the thought that makes you worry or the thought that makes you happy; the things that thrill you, or the things that worry you. You have the choice in every moment.”- Abraham The Science of Deliberate Creation

Blessing ~ There is only one life, one mind, one heart, and one perfect pure presence of Life. It is everywhere, in everything and in everyone. It is the source of all creation, and it is my source. Today I know that whatever the task or challenge before me in my life, it is present. Whatever it is that I embark upon this day, that presence is in me.

This is good to know! For whether I am working towards healing, expansion, or looking to do or become something completely new in my life, the truth is that Spirit is at work right alongside me. My life is the work of Spirit, in form as me, with my personality and perceptions, thinking through my mind, manifesting through my actions, and loving through my heart. I consciously open my life every day for this wonderful Spirit to be present in me. This is indeed a choice I make, for whether I choose to be an opening for Spirit or not, it is always present.
