I found a story circulating over social media that I found so amazing.

What appears to be the mummified remains of a fairy have been discovered in the Derbyshire countryside. The 8inch remains complete with wings; skin, teeth and flowing red hair have been examined by anthropologists and forensic experts who can confirm that the body is genuine. X-rays of the ‘fairy’ reveal an anatomically identical skeleton to that of a child. The bones however, are hollow like those of a bird making them particularly light. The puzzling presence of a navel even suggests that the beings reproduce the same as humans despite the absence of reproductive organs.

The remains were discovered by a local man, who wishes to remain anonymous, while walking his dog along an old roman road situated between the Derbyshire villages of Duffield and Belper. The area has long been shrouded in mystery with tales of ghostly highwaymen and strange ‘dancing’ lights on warm summer evenings.

“I was walking along the lane at a point which passes an old Iron Age barrow (burial mound) when my dog began to bark and act rather strangely. He was barking in the direction of the barrow and would not go anywhere near it which was strange as we walk past it almost every day. I was curious and approached the mound to see what could be disturbing him and it then I noticed something odd…..in the side of the barrow, a fissure as if a section of ground had subsided or opened up. The crack measured about 2ft long and 1ft wide and looked to have been formed recently as I had never seen it before. I knelt down and looked inside the dark hole. The hill seemed to be hollow like a cave as I could feel a cool draught against my skin. I used the small led torch on my car keys to see if I could see anything in the darkness. It was at this point I saw something that startled me, 2 or 3 feet in front of me I could see a human like form only this was much smaller. My initial instinct was to call the police as I thought it may be the body of a small child but as I looked closer I could see that this was not the case. It was too small and more importantly, it had what appeared to be wings! Not want to touch it I used a stick to carefully drag it out and picked it up in one of the dog’s poo bags (empty of course).”

He immediately called his wife stating he had found something ‘unbelievable’ and asked her to bring a camera and a box immediately.“When I first arrived I could hear the dog barking from some distance, I had no idea what he had found. As I approached the barrow I could see my husband crouched down looking a something on the floor. “What have you found?” I shouted, “See for yourself” he said. I looked down and saw a tiny but perfect mummified human body with hair, dark brown skin and more disturbingly, wings. “I know what it looks like”, he said “but how can it be? And there’s not just one, I’ve had another look inside that hole in the ground and there are more!”

The body was taken home in a biscuit tin and kept in a garage overnight. The following day the local police were informed and the remains were taken away for analysis. As a local expert on the paranormal I was approached by the police for my advice although this was kept rather quiet to avoid ridicule and press attention. I was taken to the location by the man who originally discovered this amazing find. On closer inspection the barrow appears to contain more that 20 fairy bodies all in varying states of mummification.

The dry cave like interior has preserved the remains to such a degree that some bodies even have tiny finger nails and eye brows. I have returned since then to document the find as much as possible. On one particular occasion I was shocked to discover that some attempt had been made to reseal the barrow but by whom?

The site appears to be a burial ground for fairy folk and the exact location of the find has not been revealed and no further remains have been removed from the mound. It has not been substantiated how long the remains have been there although the state of mummification would suggest more than 400 years. The countryside could be strewn with hidden burial mounds which have lain undiscovered for centuries. How could such creatures exist without detection for so many years? Cryptozoologists who have examined the remains suspect they have evolved to suit their surrounding so well they would be virtually invisible to the naked eye. Their wings and skin pigment would camouflage them extremely well and they would most probably live in the tree tops and rarely venture down to ground level. In winter they would probably retreat underground into cave networks.Whether they still exist is another question but the remains found in Derbyshire have laid thousands of years of folklore to rest.”

Now the kicker…it’s a hoax!!!  A really good one though, not because the photo looks so real, but because I believe so many people want to believe!!

Brad Meltzer’s show “Decoded” on the History Channel is pretty interesting.  I don’t watch it religiously, but I have seen a couple episodes.  With my obsession with 2012, I was sure to tune into the episode they did on the topic of 2012.  It was interesting and entertaining to say the least, but seemed to play up the fear factor in attempt to pull in the ratings.

The show touched on all the common topics that other shows and books have touched on:

• The potential threat of a solar flare shutting down our global infrastructure since the solar maximum happens to fall during 2012.
• The increased frequency of natural disasters with weather and seismic activity.
• The mass animal deaths taking place around the globe and changes in migration patterns due to climate changes forcing fish and land animals farther and farther north.

There are rapidly growing concerns on the energy crisis as we wrap up this first decade of the 21st century.  This crisis concerns more than just people getting to and from work, flying to remote resort destinations, or conflicts in the middle east over oil.  The lifelines of the human race, such as water and food distribution, will be severely threatened in the next few decades.  We simply consume more energy every year at a exponential rate that our current energy production cannot keep up with; not to mention the destruction our current energy sources are doing to our ecosystem.

Just to give you an idea of the crisis in the U.S.:  In 1999, the United States consumed 95 quadrillion BTUs of energy, while producing 61 quadrillion BTUs. The result being a 34 quadrillion BTU energy deficit. We use far more energy than we produce domestically. To keep the lights on and the wheels rolling, we make up the shortfall by importing energy, mainly in the form of tanker-upon-tanker of pricey OPEC oil. And that, is the heart of the energy crisis.

Clearly we need to find an alternative energy source.  One that is non-destructive to our ecosystem and one that is not in danger of being depleted completely.  The answer is algae.

Gene scientist Craig Venter has announced plans to develop next-generation biofuels from algae in a $600m (£370m) partnership with oil giant Exxon Mobil.

His company, Synthetic Genomics Incorporated (SGI), will develop fuels that can be used by cars or aeroplanes without the need for any modification of their engines. Exxon Mobil will provide $600m over five years with half going to SGI.

“Meeting the world’s growing energy demands will require a multitude of technologies and energy sources,” said Emil Jacobs, vice president of research and development at ExxonMobil. “We believe that biofuel produced by algae could be a meaningful part of the solution in the future if our efforts result in an economically viable, low-net carbon emission transportation fuel.”

Algae is an attractive way to harvest solar energy because they reproduce themselves, they can live in areas not useful for producing food and they do not need clean or even fresh water.  As a biofuel, algae is essentially an organic solar panel.  In addition, they use far less space to grow than traditional biofuel crops such as corn or palm oil.

“Algae consumes carbon dioxide and sunlight in the presence of water, to make a kind of oil that has similar molecular structures to petroleum products we produce today,” said Jacobs. “That means it could be possible to convert it into gasoline and diesel in existing refineries, transport it through existing pipelines, and sell it to consumers from existing service stations.”

The Carbon Trust, a government-backed agency that promotes low-carbon technologies, has forecast that algae-based biofuels could replace more than 70bn litres of fossil fuels used every year around the world in road transport and aviation by 2030, equivalent to 12% of annual global jet fuel consumption or 6% of road transport diesel. In carbon terms, this equates to an annual saving of more than 160m tonnes of CO2 globally with a market value of more than £15bn.

Ben Graziano, research and development manager at the Carbon Trust, said that alge-based biofuels offered the potential for “major carbon savings”. “Exxon Mobil is estimating that algae could yield just over 20,000 litres of fuel per hectare each year, which is in line with our own forecasts. However, producing biofuel from algae on such a massive commercial scale is a major challenge, which will require many years of research and development.”

Venter, who is best known for his role in sequencing the human genome, said the new partnership was the largest single investment in trying to produce biofuels from algae but said the challenge to creating a viable next-generation fuel was the ability to produce it in large volumes. “This would not happen without the oil industry stepping up and taking part,” he said. “The challenges are not minor for any of us but we have the combined teams and scientific and engineering talents to give this the best chance of success.”

The research program will begin with the construction of a new test facility in San Diego, where Venter says different techniques to grow and optimise algae will be tested. These will include open ponds as well as bioreactors, where the algae are grown in sealed tubes. “We will be trying out these different approaches … using newly-discovered natural algae to test the best approaches we can come up with to go into a scale-up mode.”

Venter has spent several years trawling the world’s oceans in search of environmentally-friendly microbes that could be used, in one way or another, to bring down the world’s carbon emissions. The organisms he has found include those that can turn CO2 into methane, which could be used to make fuels from the exhaust gases of power stations, and another that turns coal into natural gas, speeding up a natural process and reducing both the energy needed to extract the fossil fuel and the amount of pollution caused when it is burned.

Welcome to the future.

Unless you’re living under a rock, I’m sure you’ve read, watched, or heard about December 21, 2012.  The Mayans, I-Ching, and numerous other ancient civilization have left artifacts or texts that have been translated to be pointing to this day as the “End of Times.”  This isn’t the first time the world has experienced talks of the end of the World.  But what is interesting to me, is this time seems to have an awful lot of scientific and theoretical evidence that, at the very least, raise questions:

• Our magnetosphere appears to be at its weakest point in recorded history;
• The sun is due for its Solar Maximum in 2012 (period of greatest solar activity in the solar cycle)
• Evidence of the magnetic poles shifting
• Significant climate change with global warming
• Numerous ancient civilizations pointing to this time period as a time of big change
• The galactic alignment where our sun lines with the center of the galaxy (26,000 year event)
• A supposed 12^thplanet, Nibiru, discovered by the ancient Sumerians due to pass through our solar system

Hollywood and the entertainment world are presenting scenarios through feature films, TV programming, and even National Geographic documentaries.  All of these scenarios have one common theme: The World is going to end Dec. 21, 2012.  If you search, most of the results are going to support these fears.  But if you really look hard, you actually will find much more empirical evidence that debunks what so many believe.

David Morrison, an astrobiologist for NASA, has started a site called “Ask an Astrobiologist.” The site is dedicated to answering questions that site visitors send in about the end of the world.  If you read through the site, you will see many questions regarding the bulleted list I provided above.  In a nutshell, all of the information is VERY unlikely to ever happen.

The so called “galactic alignment” where the sun crosses the plain that aligns with the center of our Galaxy isn’t going to happen in 2012.  It actually happened 3 million years ago and won’t be occuring again for another 30 million years.  Instead, what the Mayan refer to, and the rest of the world following suit, is the sun aligning with the center of the Galaxy in relation to our view here on Earth.  From our perspective it appears we are crossing the plain of the center of the Galaxy…but we’re really not.  Refer to this site for info: http://the2012deception.net/?p=15

On top of David Morrison, NASA itself is spending some of its precious budget on a public crusade to debunk the 2012 theoriesin hopes to dissipate some of the fear.  And though some insist that this is part of some government conspiracy to cover up the truth, the bottom line is if something like Nibiru was to exist, even the novice astronomer would be able to see the 12^th planet at this point in time.

Now the movie commercials tell you to Google “2012”.  And if you do, you find all the information I’ve already mentioned.  Now…try Googling “Debunk 2012.”  Low and behold- tons of information debunking every single theory of a looming Doomsday in 2012.

I find it fascinating that different civilizations appear to point to this specific day in 2012.  I find it fascinating that our planet seems to be going through changes at this time too.  And even more fascinating that the Sun’s Solar Maximum happens to be in 2012.  But I’m not quick to believe all the hype.

Scientists discovered almost 2 lbs. of marijuana in the Yanghai Tombs near Turpan, China in the Gobi Desert.  What is fascinating about this find is that the tomb was so well preserved that after 2,700 years, scientists were able to tell that the man was Caucasian and had blue eyes.  Furthermore, the marijuana found with him was still green, although the active ingredients had decomposed (no you can’t smoke it and get high!!).

The story was first reported in an issue of the Journal of Experimental Botany by author Ethan Russo.  In his article he stated, “‘This individual was buried with an unusual number of high value, rare items,’ mentioning that the objects included a make-up bag, bridles, pots, archery equipment and a kongou harp. The researchers believe the individual was a shaman from the Gushi people, who spoke a now-extinct language called Tocharian that was similar to Celtic.”  Seems this guy may have been the first ever Metro-Sexual man!!!

There was much to learn from the findings, particularly with the practices people had with marijuana back then.  The size of seeds mixed in with the leaves, along with their color and other characteristics, indicate the marijuana came from a cultivated strain.  Before the burial, someone had carefully picked out all of the male plant parts, which are less psychoactive.  This is evidence that the plant was cultivated by humans, not just growing wild, and the same practices that growers have today were used back then to maximize the psychotropic effects of the drug. It was believed that the plant was most likely used to fabricate clothing from the hemp fibers in the plant in the civilization the man lived in, but this find suggests that there may be spiritual and recreational uses people used it for as well.

The method of administering the drugs was still a bit of a mystery as there were no smoking devices found in the grave.  There was some speculation that they orally ingested it, but there’s not enough evidence for or against anything to go beyond speculation.

Scientists also reported that it appears there is little difference between this marijuana and the marijuana found in the world today (as far as the look of the plant and buds).  But due to the fact that the active ingredients had decomposed, they can’t speculate on the potency of marijuana in that day compared to today’s.

I have seen shows on the predictions of Nostradamus, read about the end of the Mayan calendar, and of course we all know the Book of Revelations and the coming Apocalypse. But have you ever actually sat down on a computer and researched it? The internet…a whole world of information at your fingertips.

Well today, I had a conversation with someone who mentioned the date December 21, 2012. At first it was a little hard to swallow, but then I looked it up. Go ahead, google it. You will discover what I discovered…thousands of results. For those of you that don’t like to waste time researching, I’ll break it down for you as to some of what I read.

On December 21, 2012, the Mayan calendar expires. Why? It’s the end of a 26,000 year cycle. The Processional movement of the Winter Solstice Sun will gradually bring its position into alignment with the very center of our Galaxy(from our perspective here on Earth). For the Mayans, this is New Galactic Year of 26,000 solar years. The Galactic Clock will be at zero point and a New Processional Cycle will begin. 

Wait, do you understand how crazy of a thing we are all going to experience…OUR SUN WILL BE ALIGNED WITH THE CENTER OF THE GALAXY.. and it ONLY happens every 26,000 years!!! What fascinates me is that so many civilizations and even individual people have predicted some cataclysmic occurrence or change around this same time: December 21, 2012…oh, at 11:11am (universal time). What’s going to happen on this day? The truth is… no one really knows, but there are some other interesting things I found.

When looking deeper into the information out there, I found another interesting theory that correlates with the 2012 winter solstice. There is much evidence out there that suggests that time feels as if it’s speeding up; leading up to this date in 2012. Scientists discovered that Earth gives off a pulse, much like a heartbeat. That pulse, or frequency, for thousands of years was stable at 7.3 cycles per second. Well in 1980, that pulse changed. That pulse is now at 12 cycles per second (think frequency measurement in mhz). This increase of pulse may cause an effect on us that makes us feel as if time is going faster. And there is some speculation by scientists that once the Earth reaches 13 cps, it could stop rotating for 3 days, then, it will start rotating the other way. In addition, there is evidence that there a shift of the magnetic fields and the poles is occuring. This happens…yep, every 26,000 years. And that clock reset point was predicted to be on December 21, 2012 by civilizations that were never even close to each other.

Now is the time where myth and science collide. There’s so much speculation that everyone has as to what will happen on this day. Many believe that changes have already begun. Let’s begin with Humans. There seems to be a trend in this world with spiritual enlightenment. It’s as if we’ve all started to wake up and become more spiritually aware. There is speculation that this is directly correlated of us approaching this celestial moment – the rebirth. It is said that at one time, humans were all knowledgeable. They built great pyramids and could understand the universe and it’s relation to time and were able to devise  complex yet accurate calendars unlike any of our modern time. Then that all disappeared, or was forgotten. It was if our minds were sedated. Well December 21, 2012 is looked at as the rebirth of humans into this enlightenment. Therefore, some of us have begun to awake. The Bible calls it Judgment Day. The Hopi Indians see a purification of the Earth. Nostradamus saw a planet ending explosion (asteroid/comet, or great world war – interpretations vary). The Chinese “I Ching” civilization predicted the end of History. The prophecies of Saint Malachy predict we are currently in the presence of the final Pope. Edward Cayce predicts the return of Atlantis (said to exist back when humans were all knowledgeable). Albert Einstein predicts the Polar shift. NASA has confirmed the coming of solar storms. All sound like different occurrences, but all resulting in the same thing…a new beginning.

The cause of this enlightenment is speculated to be due to an energy source called a photon.  A photon is a bundle of light energy (I’m simplifying the definition). These bundles of joy travel at the speed of light freely throughout the universe. They have no mass, they are pure energy, but they can collide with molecules. Well it is said that as we approach this 26,000 “new year”, there is a growing amount of photons that are concentrated around our solar system. These photons are energy. If you were to stick a hair dryer while plugged in into a bathtub full of water with you, you would feel that energy. So it seems to me that if there was a growing amount of concentration of this light energy on this solar system, it’s most like going to have some effect on all things around it.

It doesn’t stop there. I also found theories explaining the occurrence of a passing from the 3^rd dimension into the 4^th dimension. In the fourth dimension is where we are said to be all knowledgable; able to view time as we’ve never seen it before.  Earth will still exist, but never as it has existed in our current reality. The bad and good karmic energy that our souls have created over the past 26,000 years will come back to us. Sounds like something that could have been described as The Rapture – the judgment of God. But in terms of what spiritualists speak on this subject, it is a judgment that is done by our physiological world. When switching over to the 4^th dimension, it is explained as existing in a different frequency. There will be certain beings, for lack of a better word of what humans may become, that cannot exist in that frequency. Therefore will not pass into the 4^th dimension.

Regardless if you’re a believer of some of the latter part of this blog, the overwhelming amount of information on the web and documented in history is, at the very least, somewhat intriguing. I don’t know about all the passing into the 4^th dimension, or return of Atlantis, but I do know that the fact that there is empirical data that states the facts that we will be experiencing some pretty amazing celestial events in the next coming years.  It does make me wonder what powers and energies exist out there in the universe that we have never seen before. The question, to me, is not if something weird is going to happen on that day, but more like what the f*&% is going to happen that day.
