(Sidetrack Adventures) May 31, 2023. California State Route 39 heads into the mountains of the Angeles National Forest above the megalopolis of Los Angeles, north of the little City of Azusa. It has been called California's "Forbidden Highway" or "Forgotten Highway."

The last four and a half miles of it have been closed since 1978, preventing it from connecting with State Route 2. Because of the closure and dead end, the road sees very little traffic, despite being only miles from the second largest city in the United States.

This video shows a drive up the forest highway through the Angeles National Forest, which is the same road used in the Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift. Let's check out what there is to see along the way.

Then let's explore the section of road that has been closed for over 40 years, a road that was once considered one of the most scenic in California.

It's fun to watch in first class (of a car)

There's an extreme sport called "base jumping," taking a parachute in hand and throwing it into the wind when jumping off things -- buildings, cliffs, any platform will do really. What becomes possible when the wings/glider or flexible parachute can be maneuvered and aimed at landing spots? Here one daredevil goes from sky to rooftop of a skyscraper on the beach, probably a resort hotel, where he's not welcome by its security agent posted their to guard some VIP or other. They tell him to get off, but rather than the steps or elevator, he decides to jump off the edge. They helplessly run after him and watch him commit suicide, only he has other plans. A backflip into the wind then the descent of a raptor, skimming the surf and softly alighting on the sand. Success! How in the world it was filmed, we have to wonder. AI-controlled GoPro? How did the cam know to turn around for the backflip? No wonder China and TikTok will one day rule the world.

According to space.com there will be a solar eclipse today -- Tuesday, Oct. 25 -- just in time to confuse all the spirits stirring for their annual appearance on the human plane. Animals will be disturbed, too, as they seem to be able to see them. What causes an eclipse?

The unrecognized Rahu (alternating with Ketu) strays across the sky and covers it, according to the ancient Dharmic religions of India -- Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, Brahmanism, Skihism, and possibly Rumi's Sufism (which is technically mystical Islam) -- not to mention the biblical views of Sumer, Judea, and Christiandom.

Sure, science has a different explanation that drowns everyone else out. How dare a religion have a point of view. Something about the sun be 400 times farther away than the moon but at a perfect distance to seem exactly the same size as the moon. That's unlikely and not what our eyes tell us. But who are we to believe, what someone says science says or what we say when we look up and see for ourselves?

In any case, however it happens, someone celestial object is getting in the way of another today. And that may have some astrological portent. Maybe a "dark pall" has spread over the British Empire because Rishi Sunak has become the first person of color (and Hindu) to become the country's political leader?

Or maybe it's American royal K Ye West spreading his dark message of antisemetism and white supremacy (Trump loving White Lives Matter moves). Or maybe the billions of oppressed "darker" people of color on the planet are reflected in the skies.

Or maybe it's the scourge of anti-dark worldwide racism wrought by white supremacists worldwide trying to keep an advantage provided to them by past and present empires (like the Greeks of yore and Americans of Apocalypse Now).

Who knows for sure? Any symbolism could be made out of it, depending on how one chooses to see natural phenomena play out over our personal affairs and points of view.

(Sky News Australia) Sept. 22, 2022. Notions that the Russians are going to lose any war in Ukraine are “naïve,” says professor and clinical psychologist Dr. Jordan Peterson. It's naive to think so, he tells Piers Morgan, “or [to think] that we’re going to win,” he adds. “I don’t understand that. What do you mean we’re going to win? What are we going to win here exactly? Dr. Peterson says even if President Vladimir Putin allowed Russia to retreat from Ukraine, the invaded country would be left in “smoking ruins.”

What to call it, Planet Parade? Planet Party? Planet-Palooza? Whatever, there will be a lovely lineup of the visible planets across the early morning sky in June.

Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn are the stars of the show, but we might get lucky and spot Mercury, too.

The first prime viewing opportunity comes early on the mornings of June 3rd and 4th.

"All five naked-eye planets will line up in the dawn sky in June. Not only that, they'll also be in their proper order from the sun," Sky & Telescope said in a statement Tuesday.

Venus through Saturn should be easy to see if the sky is clear. Mercury is the wild card. Sky & Telescope recommends using binoculars and finding a place with a clear view low toward the east. Just be sure to get out there at least 30 minutes before the sun rises.

Check with timeanddate.com to find local sunrise times. The planet-fest will continue on through the month. A NASA graphic from the agency's What's Up Skygazing Guide shows what to look for in mid-June at around 45 minutes before sunrise. More

Hyperspectral: LIDAR returns for each tree

Lidar Magazine: Despite the pandemic, you are working on many projects. Can you give us a flavor of some of the most exciting ones? ...

Senior V.P. Mark Meade (Quantum Spatial Inc.): Our scale and the diversity of our solutions enable us to work on many incredibly exciting projects.

We just completed a very large project that fused hyperspectral data with high-density LIDAR [laser imaging, detection, and ranging] to identify the species and health of deciduous vegetation.

This was specifically related to ash trees that are falling prey to the emerald ash borer [beetle] and serve as a major risk to above-ground infrastructure for electricity. We were told this was the largest high-resolution hyperspectral project ever undertaken anywhere in the world.

Space: lunar exploration from sky

In terms of scenic locations, few projects can compare to the natural beauty of Yosemite National Park.

We are nearing the completion of 1,243 square miles of LIDAR there at QL1 specifications. We couldn’t resist flying Half Dome and El Capitan at much higher densities.... More

In North America we often call the April full moon the Awakening Moon, Pink Moon, Grass Moon, or Egg Moon. In 2020, this April full moon also presents the closest (and thereby largest) supermoon of the year.

This full moon more closely coincides with lunar perigee – the moon’s closest point to Earth in its monthly orbit – than does any other full moon in the year 2020.

Will we notice that the moon is larger than usual? Probably not...unless one is a very experienced and discerning observer.

Moon (Trish Minogue Collins/EarthSky)

The angular diameter of a supermoon appears about 7% larger than that of an average-size full moon, and about 14% bigger than the angular diameter of a micro-moon or mini-moon (the year’s most distant and therefore smallest full moon), perhaps not enough to be noticeable to most of us using the eye alone.

On the other hand, will we notice that the full moon of April 7-8 is particularly bright? Yes! Well, maybe...if we’re observant moon-watchers. Why? That’s because supermoons can be up to 15% brighter than an average-size full moon, 30% brighter than a micro-moon.

The moon comes closest to the Earth for the entire year when it reaches perigee on April 7, 2020, at 18:08 UTC. Of this year’s 13 lunar perigees, this is one of only two that comes closer than 221,830 miles (357,000 km). More

Dhr. Seven, Ven. Aloka, Wisdom Quarterly: EIGHT PRECEPT OBSERVANCE + COMMENTS

.

It began as a kind of sabbath or seventh-observance. With each monthly (moonthly) lunar phase, the Buddha enjoined monastic and lay practitioners to gather, meditate, hear the Dharma, and keep the precepts.

Lunar Observance

Siddhartha striving under the bodhi tree

These are called uposatha or lunar observance days, the full moon being the most important of the four. Each week has 7 days, each month 4 four weeks, (7 x 4 = 28), 2 days, with 364 days a year. The arithmetic is easy: 13 moons or months (13 x 28 = 364). Add one New Year's Day for resetting and renewal: 364 + 1 = 365).

It was the system some sky-devas or impersonal nature set up, which we've gotten so far from. The Buddha taught that there is much benefit in observing this practice. Drop in at a Buddhist temple, particularly of the ancient Theravada school, and ask how they observe it. Or keep THE EIGHT PRECEPTS on your own:

Meditate. (Elena Kulikova)

1. I undertake the training to abstain from taking the lives of living beings (or encouraging anyone else to kill).
2. I undertake the training to abstain from taking what is not given (or causing anyone else to steal).
3. I undertake the training to abstain from taking sexual liberties (or inducing anyone else to cheat).
4. I undertake the training to abstain from taking the truth in vain (or getting anyone else to falsely speak).
5. I undertake the training to abstain from taking intoxicants that occasion heedlessness (or suggesting anyone else be negligent).
6. I undertake the training to abstain from taking food at the wrong time (or having anyone else do so).
7. I undertake the training to abstain from taking to dancing or singing or playing music, cosmetic beautification, or base entertainments (or recommending that anyone else do so).
8. I undertake the training to abstain from taking to high and luxurious seats or beds (or making anyone else do so).

Commentary

This will be the last lunar observance in Pasadena. The temple moves to Covina on 1/1/20.

I won't look; I won't be distracted.

These are different from the ordinary Five Precepts Buddhists undertake to keep all the rest of the time in these ways:

The Farmer's Almanac knows all (twitter)

Have a thing for moon phases or numbers? Then mark the calendar for this upcoming celestial event: On December 12 (12/12) at 12:12 a.m. ET, the "Cold Moon" will become a full moon, according to The Farmers' Almanac. In the central time zone, it'll fall within a minute of 11:11 p.m. on Dec. 11.

"The midwinter full moon has a high trajectory across the sky, causing it to sit above the horizon for a longer period of time," The Farmers' Almanac explains.

Observe the Eight Precepts of the uposatha.

The final full moon of this year's lunar cycle (13 full moons every year) and of the decade is also known as the "Long Night's Moon" -- a fitting title as winter solstice nears, which brings longer, darker nights. And to top off the numerical calendar oddity, the next day is Friday the 13th! Source

Nibiru Makes a Glitch in the Matrix and Shows Firmament, Holographic Sky, Fake Star, and Grand Solar Minimum

The glitch in the Matrix is now revealed in HD 1080p 60fps with brand new glitches added to the collection. See mind blowing video. To inspect the original image files used in this video, see link below. Attempt to debunk it please prove it wrong. There is NOTHING to hide: video.

A new camera (with original raw files and information retained) with an infrared filter made this view possible. It's made by BAADER Co.

The incoming Nibiru is the obvious cause of the current grand solar minimum. With these two currently going on, our government has put huge lenses in the sky to obstruct and cloak the view of Earthlings from seeing the transiting planetary system.

When they did that they decided to take it a further and rush out a fake "5G" tower system, which is a holographic system to completely fake the sky and clouds. Now they are faking space altogether with fake hologram stars and planets. Yes, this is real as difficult as it may be to believe. Truth is much stranger than fiction.

Who can believe his/her eyes? Get a camera and infrared filter, and look up. Our entire sky is now a hologram and completely fake. One can see through the moon to see stars on the other side. The sun has clouds behind it. The sky is being holographically manipulated to fool us all.

Not scared of the incoming Nibiru system or the effects of the grand solar minimum? You may be horrified watching this video. Are we safe anywhere? Let's discuss the Luciferian Illuminati agenda turning pushing for a one world government and a cashless society to better track subjects under the rule of a world dictator. It will be the United Nations as the new Parliament, Senate, and government rolled into one.

None of this can happen unless the world is turned against a common enemy. This has been the plan all along. This final nail in the coffin will be a fake attack on the United States by some "alien force" already moving into our world and slowly taking over starting with Antarctica.

This part of the plan is as fake as it gets, but it seems the sheeple of the world will likely be fooled by this like we are fooled by everything else. We hear and believe mainstream news, which we know for sure is partly fake (terror attacks, killer epidemics, turmoil, Trump, shootings galore). False flag events are increasing. It's easy to scare sheeple to get us to believe whatever they want.

Kill your television, iPhone, and computer and for goodness sake. Stop relying on the news for information. Prepare for the worst and hope for the best.

Everything stated in this video is easily verifiable with five minutes worth of research. Let's begin that research right now: Lenses in the sky are real and easy to create. Before asking what is holding them up, remember that it's a gravity-free environment. They only need to be tethered into place so they do not float away.
