Around the world it's a known fact the law enforcement agencies and hospitals swing into high gear on Full Moon nights with a sudden spurt in incidents mushrooming all over major cities of the world. The Full Moon does affect us in a BIG way since human consciousness is made up of electric activity.


George E Lockett shares the science and spirituality surrounding the magical Full Moon !

It has been known for centuries that the full moon can affect people’s consciousness and behaviour. Many people may feel wakeful at night with energy streaming through their body for the three days before full moon.

It is only recently that I have discovered why this may be happening. NASA-supported scientists have realized that something does happen every month when the Moon passes through Earth's magnetic tail.


"Earth's magnetotail extends well beyond the orbit of the Moon and, once a month, the Moon orbits through it," says Tim Stubbs, a University of Maryland scientist working at the Goddard Space Flight Center. "This can have consequences ranging from lunar 'dust storms' to electrostatic discharges."

Anyone can tell when the Moon is inside the magnetotail. Just look: "If the Moon is full, it is inside the magnetotail," says Stubbs. "The Moon enters the magnetotail three days before it is full and takes about six days to cross and exit on the other side."

Human consciousness too is made up of electrical activity – which can be measured with an electro encephalograph – and a magnetic aura, or field of energy. A lot of people can feel this field of energy; for example, when you smile you can feel the field of buoyant, glowing energy extending into your aura like the energy field of a magnet.

I have often wondered why I am affected so much by the moon from three days before full moon to a few days after. The magnetotail provided me with the perfect explanation; as the moon charges up when within the tail and becomes much more electrical and magnetic, it is only normal that this increase in power should be felt on Earth.

We all know from astrology that each of the planets, and the sun and moon, have an influence on our feelings, emotions and consciousness. The moon affects our emotions because the moon influences water; just as the moon causes the tides, it exerts a pull on the watery components of our body, and we feel this as emotions. The body is made up of 70 to 80% of water.

Human consciousness is also affected by sun spots and the mass ejections from the sun's corona; these are what cause the solar winds of magnetic energy which affect the Earth's upper atmosphere and give rise to the Aurora Borealis or Northern Lights.

I feel it is beneficial if we extend our awareness to take in all these influences of the celestial bodies, as they all communicate with, and have an influence on, each other by the transfer of electrical and magnetic energy – which could also be called consciousness.



Our body has a field of energy – the aura – which is the same as the aurora or magnetic and gravitational field of the planet. We are all One, a part of the Universal Life Force; and it is natural to be aware of the greater cosmic system, which is as much a part of our consciousness as our brain is.

As human consciousness evolves and moves from the individual awareness to an awareness of greater integration within the whole cosmic system, we also expand our understanding of the unity of life and develop a love of all things, in the realization that We Are All One.

This full moon on October 14th, is in the cardinal sign of Aries which is ruled by the planet Mars. and Native Americans call this moon October - Hunter's Moon, Moon of Falling Leaves. This is a good time for us to become more compassionate of our fellow man; to come together as you would around a circle in a camp fire. Aries personalities draw attention because they have high spirits, great enthusiasm, and are honest and open. The astrological sign of Aries is a ram - consider this energy force and enthusiasm by accomplishing your goals and ram yourself to success.

Think of a full moon in Aries where there can be produced a lot of radiant, vitalizing energy that you can capitalize on for your personal growth. This is a period to take time out and reflect on your inner growth by initiating something or becoming enterprising. Aries energy means it's a good time to be creative in the sense of causing things to begin. It's all about enthusiasm and taking that energy and running with it - like a football player who is running towards his goal without anyone near him to tackle him down.

The Shanti Jatra Full Moon Festival 2008, will be in 'Full Swing' the coming Full Moon, October 14 with hundreds of people from all over the world converging in the mystical mountains of Nepal with the Mt. Everest Sunrise in sight, dancing to the hypnotic beats of Psychedelic Trance ... The Full Moon this October is also known as Sharad / Sharath Poornima and is closely associated with Krishna, Radha and the Gopis !

The Mayans predicted collapse of the world financial system as one of the precursors to the shift of ages due by 2012. This economic fall out is visible throughout the world as predicted by the Mayans about two thousand years ago. The Indian Stock Market saw it's lowest of lows last week with the Sensex crashing more than a thousand points thanks to the deepening global financial crisis. The system is beginning to show signs of a meltdown quite like the melting snowcapped mountains and glaciers of Earth. Synchronistic symbolism in the events of our world today are bringing to the surface the face of Truth for all to see and it would be so, if only one is awakened to a larger reality beyond this limited illusion we mistake for being real.


Clyde Prestowitz is an international trade specialist who worked for the Reagan administration in the 1980s and now heads the Economic Strategy Institute in Washington said, " The US right now is absorbing 80 per cent of global savings. Well when you hit 100 per cent, the music stops and leading figures, people like Paul Volcker, the former Chairman of the US Federal Reserve, people like George Soros, the great speculator, have all made statements that they fear a major financial crisis within the next five years because the system is unsustainable " in a statement made back in August 2005. The dollar has most world economies dependent on it for their sustenance while the US economy is in a constant recession adding on to it's debt of Trillians of Dollars to the Banking Cartel run by a few men who run the show from behind the curtains while the world sleeps in ignorance by and large. This affects not only the US economy but also the rest of the world since we've grown so dependent on the US and the slowly fading dollar. All of this chaos which has kept mankind enslaved to the whim of money has also made fools of us all divorced from the spiritual essence of all creation clinging for our lives to this materialistic separation of the human species. The new age consumerism has failed to yield true happiness laying out carrots for us rabbits in the quest of something called happiness that lies within of us however cleverly manipulated by external stimuli in the post modern era.




Maybe it was meant to be the way it is and we are all standing at the gates of dawn waiting to be ushered in by the follow me tunes of the Piper at the end of time. The flowing river of change is strong as ever filling up cavities of ignorance with the seed of awareness. Human consciousness is shifting and a neo human is taking form in each one of us, some of us are simply little more aware of this paradigm shift than the others. Even though we are individuals we still hold together an all powerful collective psyche capable of making the positive change the world needs by starting with ourselves. Everything and Everyone counts .....
