On Sept. 7, a newly discovered asteroid about the size of a large grey whale flew over the south pole of Earth only 25,000 miles away. For scale, that’s only a few thousand miles above the orbits of typical geosynchronous satellites. After the Earth flyby, the space rock turned and headed in the general direction of the Moon, executing a wider flyby of 179,000 miles on Sept. 8th. Where will this asteroid go next? Visit http://spaceweather.com for answers and photos of today’s encounter with Earth.

When you channel your intentions, the physical world responds. Psychokinesis (PK) is the ability to influence matter through non-physical means. Witnessing PK in action — or practicing it yourself — allows you to better understand human potential and proves the old adage, “seeing is believing.”
Join us at Mystic Salon on Aug. 25 for a spoonbending party led by Dr. Angela Thompson Smith and exercise your natural PK ability. Bring your own silver-plated or stainless steel spoon or fork (one you don’t want to use afterward at the dinner table!) or use those provided.

When I was in Las Vegas for the Applied Precognition Project annual conference in June, I got to know a fabulous woman and internationally known remote viewer, Dr. Angela Thompson Smith, PhD.

EARTH’S MAGNETIC FIELD IS CHANGING:Earth’s magnetic field protects us from stormy space weather and cosmic rays. New data from Europe’s SWARM spacecraft show that our planet’s magnetic field is changing. For instance, in recent years magnetism over North America has weakened by 3.5%, while Asia has seen an increase of 2%. Other parts of the world are unsettled as well. Visit Spaceweather.com for the full story.
