Scientists and amateur observers alike are eagerly awaiting Friday's historic flyby of asteroid 2012 DA14, which will zoom inside Earth's ring of geosynchronous satellites.

At its nearest approach Friday (Feb. 15), the 150-foot-wide (45 meters) asteroid 2012 DA14 will be just 17,200 miles (27,000 kilometers) from Earth — the closest encounter with such a large space rock that researchers have ever known about in advance.

Astronomers will take full advantage of the flyby, tracking the near-Earth asteroid with a variety of instruments to learn more about it and space rocks in general. And some well-placed skywatchers may be able to follow 2012 DA12 's path across the heavens Friday as well, weather permitting.

As of today, many will feel a quickening in the atmosphere, and rightly so. You have once again passed through another whirlwind of energetic updates, and as such, it is time to get another breather before the next one hits you. We hear the groans of discomfort already, but just bear with us – and with yourselves – as the intensity of the next round may not be as overpowering as you might fear. As we have talked about in an earlier missive, your physical bodies have been well primed by now, and as such, you will find that you actually spend a lot less time in the digesting of even the most powerful of downloads. This will not be apparent while you are in the midst of such a storm of course, but we think you will see how when it all eases of, your physical aptitudes will also bounce right back up again, and quickly so. As always, there are some individual occurrences in all of this, but in general, we think you will find this to be true.

JamyePriceWhen you come into physical form, you are faced with a sense of separation that is what the world around you seeks to overcome through physical means.  You see many seeking to validate the self through material items or outcomes.  When you look beyond what is seen in the visible world, you find a connection that is the same bond that creates form.  As you connect with the unseen, you are connecting with the Love that calls the atom to bond, no matter the opposite charge.  You are connecting with the subtle waves of Life that spiral forth seeking same, to experience in the next phase conjugate.  You are connecting your past experience with your future potential in the presence of your heart.  You are Nurturing your Heart into an ease of support that Angels choose to tread.  This is available to you within the depths of sorrow as you reach for solace in the embrace of the unknown.  That which is unknown to you is merely yet undiscovered, awaiting to reveal the treasure chest of Love to you.

Ohhh the state of flux all of life is in, again, right now.  Change at its core.  The acceleration or deceleration of every person on this planet!  It seems January, we became suited up to arrive at the greatest choice points of our collective lives as we stepped into February.  At any given time, there really is only two real choices; hold on or let go (fear vs trust.)

I could have never imagined the earth we arrived on in January was a gateway point.  Kind of like the pit-stop area on a race track.  But, there’s a lot I cannot even imagine, maybe that is what makes these times so incredibly fun and interesting to me.

My first lady on the field yesterday gave us more understanding of what is currently happening than I ever realized during her reading.  It took me until about the 3rd reading of the day to feel and understand the huge thing that is happening on all of earth right now.

Greetings, my beloved brethren of Earth, I Am Magatha of the Agarthan civilization. I am well aware that a rather great lapse in time has passed in your Earth time in which I have not presented myself and for that I apologize. I will explain now why this has been the case.
 
My dear Brethren of Earth, a lot is now in the process of shifting in your reality: mountains are litterally being moved as it were just to put the whole process in motion towards global Ascension and Disclosure. All those processes have now again speeded up to full development and consequently require an enormous support from all of us towards all of you and towards Gaia. Since these processes are all so intense for all of you, our advantitious assistance in the matter is more than welcome and needed as a lot will duly be achieved in this now moment.
 

 

Blue StarShip/UFO Report - February 13, 2013

1954 - Sicily, Italy, December 10. Four men are staring upward at two very odd shapes in the sky.

The photographer was questioned about his photograph, and he claimed that the objects were actually in the sky, as opposed to a film or camera anomaly, and that the objects simply stood still for several minutes.

14-02-2013: VALENTINE'S DAY & I'M IN LOVE WITH LIFE

Lia's picture

Published on Feb 14, 2013

Once again, I am alone on the day when the world celebrates romantic relationships. Only a couple weeks ago I thought it would be different this year; but it's not. It's also my son's birthday; and I'm happy for him that he is in a loving relationship with a beautiful young lady who really loves him. I'm also thankful for all of those that have been able to connect with someone they feel is special enough to share intimacy with - hopefully on all levels. It would be my prayer that everyone who wants that in their life would be able to co-create it with a partner in the very near future. Meanwhile, I remain in love with life that I feel is getting better all the time. As one lady said to me once, "I think you're in love with love." She was right. I am in love with love and life

Crescent Moon Phase - Moon in Aries

The keyword for today is perseverance.  Life may force you down the road less traveled today, which is often challenging in itself, but today's energy tests our limits.  Authenticity of spirit is what enables us to persevere when we are under these types of conditions.  Some will be presenting the image of success, love, organization, commitment, and strength, but can it be back up with the truth?  In other words, does the mask match reality or if the veneer was stripped away what would truly remain?  Does the outer expression match the inner one?  Keep intentions pure and all will be well.

NASA: Alarming Water Loss in Middle East

DOHA, Qatar -- An amount of freshwater almost the size of the Dead Sea has been lost in parts of the Middle East due to poor management, increased demands for groundwater and the effects of a 2007 drought, according to a NASA study.

The study, to be published Friday in Water Resources Research, a journal of the American Geophysical Union, examined data over seven years from 2003 from a pair of gravity-measuring satellites which is part of NASA's Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment or GRACE. Researchers found freshwater reserves in parts of Turkey, Syria, Iraq and Iran along the Tigris and Euphrates river basins had lost 117 million acre feet (144 cubic kilometers) of its total stored freshwater, the second fastest loss of groundwater storage loss after India.

About 60 percent of the loss resulted from pumping underground reservoirs for ground water, including 1,000 wells in Iraq, and another fifth was due to impacts of the drought including declining snow packs and soil drying up. Loss of surface water from lakes and reservoirs accounted for about another fifth of the decline, the study found.

Heavenletter #4465 How Can a Worthwhile Desire Not Come True?

Heaven Letters

God said:

To everything, there is an answer. It may not be an answer you want, yet it is the answer you get. You may not want to hear that answer, yet it is your answer. You wanted a different answer. And you yearn to know why that answer. Why a no to a sweet desire of your heart, and you want to know why, as if God has to answer you the way you would like as well.

When your heart’s desire is not fulfilled, all is not lost. Consider for a moment, no matter how heartbreaking the answer is to you, the answer you receive is the right one. How can it be, you ask and ask again and again.

It positively absolutely is the right answer. Sure, you don’t understand it. How can you understand why on earth that your true love did not come to you?

Big Story Weather – February 14, 2013

Rain's picture

RedOrbit.com - 2/14/13, Joshua Kelly

 

Big Story Weather from February 13: A frontal boundary pushed off the Gulf Coast yesterday finally allowing for all the heavy rain to leave the region as some places have gotten over three inches of rainfall over the past couple of days. A clipper system pushed through the Northern Plains bringing more light snow to the area, while the West enjoyed high pressure.



Weather Outlook for February 14: Low pressure moving through the Great Lakes will bring some snow to the region today. High pressure builds in over the Gulf Coast which will bring a much needed break to the area with plenty of sunshine. High pressure will bring partly cloudy skies from the Northern Plains westward into the Rockies and over along the majority of the West Coast. Below is the weather for a few select cities.
