Last night into the early morning hours, our planet experienced a total lunar eclipse. As this one will be the last for several years, I wanted to get out to photograph it. Up at 3 AM, totality around 4 AM, and back in bed by 5 AM. Our weather forecast originally called for cloudy skies, but the clouds blew off and we had a perfectly clear sky. By the time I went back into the house, the temps had gone down to freezing. Pretty chilly!
I am no fan of the moon. I just like to photograph during times of eclipses. It is pretty clear that the moon is not a natural planetary body. Just look at how it is positioned, and how only one side is facing earth all the time. No other planet in our solar system has a moon that does that. How is it maintaining its position? Is someone directing it off planet?
Years ago I remember reading about an ancient war in our solar system, and how the moon was towed into place. I believe the good guys lost the war, and consequently lost the moon as a satellite. When we consider that our planet Earth is 4.54 billion years old, a lot has gone on here in the past.
About 10 years ago when I was still living in Cortez, Colorado, we had a very interesting lecture by Harrison Schmitt who was an astronaut on Apollo 17, and one of the last men to walk on the moon. I don’t remember what he said exactly, but what I do remember is that when it came time for some Q & A, he only called on the children in the audience. I guess he didn’t want to answer any controversial questions from any adults! (BTW—we also had a lecture from a shuttle astronaut around that same time. I was amazed at how much medication they had to take just to be able to be comfortable in space.)
Several of the military’s project Stargate remote viewers were tasked to view the dark side of the moon. I know that they saw structures there, but not sure if they viewed beneath the surface. George Kavassilas has said that there are several ET races that live in the interior. Their job is to monitor the earth, and also to send negative energy to the humans here. Could that be the origin of our negative thoughts and war like tendencies? And why did we stop going there? I have heard several stories about astronauts being warned not to come back.
The moon has been here long enough to have had many myths, belief systems and archetypes created around it. We as a human race are certainly suffering from amnesia as to who we are, where we originally came from, and what we are doing here. How do we recover those memories? Is the moon a part of the plan to keep us enslaved and ignorant?
Anyway, I do enjoy photographing eclipse phenomena, even if it means freezing in the cold to get a good shot.
