As the year 2012 comes to a close, we look back on the major news events coming from NASA’s Heliophysics Division, which studies the sun-Earth connection.

We ended 2011 with a great deal of excitement as provided by comet Lovejoy’s trip around the sun in December, which had scientists and the public amazed with extraordinary imagery provided by the entire Heliophysics solar fleet.

Jesus Through John Posted 01/02/2013 by John Smallman

[I have used a different format for today's message, because it is a conversation between us. And there is no audio version because my voice has failed, temporarily.]

Jesus Blog # 112 for Wednesday 1/2/13.

Friday December 28th 2012 15.50.

John: Good afternoon, dear Jesus.  Well, as you must be very well aware, there is a great sense of disappointment, not to mention anger, because nothing of note seems to have happened that could be described as the start of a New Age or an awakening into full consciousness.  I, too was disappointed – there were, we understood, to be NO disappointments.  So, where do we go from here?

And so you have started to count down another year, and this time, it is as if you are starting a brand new countdown. Let us explain.

As you are all more than aware of, mankind have had their eyes and hearts set on the year of 2012 for a very, very long time, and as you are all also more than aware of, this has had such a strong impact on so many, it has been difficult to even think past this year. And so, now that you have well and truly passed through this portal called December 2012, you have now reached a brand new shore, a shore devoid of any footprints, where it is up to each and every one of you how you would like to make this year unfold.

For now, there are no more ”magic dates” and now, there are no expectations or limitations put upon you that could hamper you in any way. For now, it is indeed time to open up, set the old human limitations aside, and start to think anew. For now, there are no more deadlines to be met, no more dates to consider, or no other markers of any kind that could affect your thinking in any way.

Heavenletter #4422 - The Misperception of Justice

HeavenLetters Published on: January 2, 2013

God said:

The idea of justice or injustice is counting on the past to affect the present. To your mind, the past and the present are to correlate. However, your experience is that, for no known reason, something uncalled for occurs.

From as far as you can see, the world is not fair. From what you can see, there is hardly justice. Why does one gain and another lose? Disparity seems to be a piece of life in the world.

It has been said that you write your own script, that you wrote it long ago and signed it. It is easy to sign ahead of time for something to happen later. The future is always long off.

Increased levels of dust in the air for the first day of 2013

The Watchers - 1/02/13, By Chillymanjaro

Research has shown that dust storms are increasing  in the Sahara Desert and that in parts of North Africa, annual dust production has increased tenfold in the last 50 years. Since dust storms transport large amounts of material for long distances, their increasing frequency could have serious consequences for the environment. Scientists say the deposition of dust could affect climate change, disease transmission and air pollution. One concern is that as dust deposits increase, levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere could change, directly affecting temperatures and rainfall. Last week we saw sand from Saudi Arabia’s Rub al Khali Desert blew over the...

Dust blows over Afghanistan (top center) and off the coasts of Iran and Pakistan. Air currents cause it to form long, parallel rows rather than an indistinct cloud. The dust reaches far over the Arabian Sea, where it is then swept westwards towards the Arabian Peninsula. (Credit: LANCE/MODIS)
