what does 2012 mean? (Page 2 of 2)

... its so damn synchronistic and lot of stuff on here at NR has been lately--so look at this

Q: (L) Also, there was a supernova that became the Crab
   Nebula, which occurred 5,000 years ago, yet was not seen
   on earth, which was 900 years ago, which happens to be
   exactly the time period I have been looking at as having
   been a turning point where seeds were planted that are now
   bearing fruit.  Can you tell us if this supernova that was  (SEEDS?  what seeds?) 
   seen 900 years ago, were there effects from the Supernova
   that contributed to this state of affairs at the
   culmination of the Dark Ages, the creation of the Templars (and everybody STOLE their stuff, =the GOOD guys)
   and so forth.  What were the effects of this supernova
   that was seen 900 years ago?

A: Excitation of base liquid molecules.  (For eventual DNA crystallization?)
Q: (L) Did this have a physiological effect, or genetic, DNA effect on people?  (Will it do it again, soon?)
A: Slight.
Q: (L) What were the pronounced effects that one would have
   been able to note.  That is microscopic...  (SO its in the genes, in the cells, cells have memory, genetic karma)
A: Growth.  (Redemption, maybe by reincarnation even)
Q: (L) Growth in what sense?  Growth and change in the size
   of people?
A: Close.
Q: (L) Growth in a psychological or mental sense?
A: Close.
Q: (L) What kind of growth specifically?  (Overpopulation, pods, unsoulled beings, fakes, a big mess)
A: Both.
Q: (L) You mentioned the importance of the Horsehead Nebula in relation to the symbol of the Knight.  What is the
   significance of the Horsehead Nebula?
A: Keep up your search, as you are near.
Q: (L) What would be the effect of cosmic rays emitted by a  (Veilakovsky)
   supernova that is in some proximity to the earth on the
   human body?  (So if it happens every 13,000+ yrs then here we go, again=the new human, 2012, the ascension)
A: Genetic splice of strand.  (CHANGING DNA, again?, also the tampering with our original, etc)
Q: (A) Now this supernova that is supposed to explode soon,
   will it be soon in the sense of our SEEING it, that is the arrival of the light from this, or soon in the instantaneous sense?
A: Optically.
Q: (L) So, this supernova must have already occurred?  (Repeated cycles of destruction, which r necessary)
A: Yes.
Q: (A) But, if it already occurred, then this means that the instantaneous effects have already been felt, even if it
   was lesser than the optical effects.  It must have been recorded by anomalous changes in genes? (L Is that true?
A: Close.

Revving-Up Those Hot Rods - by Debbi Hayden
...In order to make the most of your time spent in the dark, it is important to get your eyes fully dark-adapted. As many of you already know, the longer you remain in the dark, the easier it is to see the fainter objects in the night sky. Even just a glimpse at someone's car headlights or interior lights can set your dark adaptation back 30 minutes.

The reason for this has to do with the way the cones and rods of your retina work. The following diagram shows the time course of dark adaptation. It is a two branched function - one for the cone receptors and the other for the rods.

You can see that the first phase of dark adaptation has the cones decreasing in sensitivity, until they are no longer a factor. After approximately ten minutes, the rods become the more sensitive receptors, and continue to increase their sensitivity over the next twenty minutes. After thirty minutes, the rods are going to be at their most sensitive, and you will be ready to try for the faintest of the fuzzies!

The rods and cones are not evenly distributed throughout the retina. The diagram below shows the basic appearance of the central portion of a retina.

The macula is where all of the cones are most tightly packed - 6 to 7 million of them! Visual acuity and resolution are much better with the cones versus the rods, so the macula is where all of your "detailed" vision takes place. The optic disk contains no light-detecting cells at all - this is your "blind spot". It is the direct connection to your brain, along which all information gathered by the rods and cones travel to the visual cortex of the brain.

The rods are located throughout the rest of the retina (120 million of them!) and are more responsible for night vision and motion detection. Rods are 1000 times more sensitive than cones, and in optimum conditions, can be triggered by a single photon! This is why when you are trying to see something very faint through your telescope, or even with the naked eye at night, it is best to not look directly at the object. Looking at the object makes the image fall on your macula where the cones are. In the dark, your cones are not really functioning, so use averted vision and look slightly to the side (or above or below) what you want to see. This has you using the sensitive rods and it will suddenly appear much brighter.

In a little more technical terms, the receptors contain photopigments. These photopigments undergo changes that stop them from sending visual signals to the brain when they absorb light. When in darkness, these changes are reversed.
.............The practical application of all of this? Be courteous at all observing sessions and star parties by replacing those white trunk lights with a red bulb, and turn off the headlights when approaching your fellow amateur astronomers' meeting site. Allow approximately 30 minutes before attempting to spot some of the more elusive nebulae, such as the Horsehead and the Veil. Have a great time observing!

.....  I would add that I have met a number of people who have trained the previously unused rods and cones of their physical eyes to the point from which they can see a much broader range of the light spectrum than is normally the case.  Doing this does not require any psychic abilities at all, just an opening up to the vast unused potential of our physical bodies.  I also have heard of some rather extraordinary healers who are able to accurately diagnose illnesses by smell.

The Jacob's Membrane (also known as the "Layer of Rods and Cones") is the nineth (9th) of the layers forming the retina of the human eye that light reaches after entering the eye: That is, after light from outside the body enters the eye through it's main structures of the cornea, aqueous humour, pupil, lens, etc..

    The retina is composed of several layers which, together, form the "screen" in the eye onto which an image of the area viewed by the eye is formed, and information about that image is segmented into packets of information that are passed to the visual cortex of the brain via the optic nerve.

    The retina is a fairly complex membrane consisting of 10 distinct layers. The most important layer from a detection standpoint is the next-to-innermost layer, called Jacob's membrane. Jacob's membrane contains the actual detector cells — more than 100,000,000 cells called rods and cones. There are 10 times as many rods as there are cones.
