A recent report aimed at trying to determine why the Earth's northern pole is moving moving rapidly south and east found that melting ice has shifted the Earth's axis and in the process has contributed to the pole shift. Basically the melting ice from climate change has shifted the weight on the surface of the earth and has led to a shift in the Earth's axis. Link Below.
"The Earth's pole, the point where the Earth's rotational axis intersects its crust in the Northern Hemisphere, drifted in a new eastward direction in the 1990s, as observed by space geodetic observations. Generally, polar motion is caused by changes in the hydrosphere, atmosphere, oceans, or solid Earth. However, short‐term observational records of key information in the hydrosphere (i.e., changes in terrestrial water storage) limit a better understanding of new polar drift in the 1990s. This study introduces a novel approach to quantify the contribution from changes in terrestrial water storage by comparing its drift path under two different scenarios. One scenario assumes that the terrestrial water storage change throughout the entire study period (1981–2020) is similar to that observed recently (2002–2020). The second scenario assumes that it changed from observed glacier ice melting. Only the latter scenario, along with the atmosphere, oceans, and solid Earth, agrees with the polar motion during the period of 1981–2020. The accelerated terrestrial water storage decline resulting from glacial ice melting is thus the main driver of the rapid polar drift toward the east after the 1990s. This new finding indicates that a close relationship existed between polar motion and climate change in the past."
A new analysis in Science has turned upside down the theory that a reversal of the earth's magnetic poles had a minimal impact upon life on earth. By studying the rings of giant kauri trees thousands of years old in well preserved in bogs in New Zealand scientists from the South Australian museum and the University of South Wales found that the last pole shift 42,000 years ago was a climate catastrophe that allowed unfiltered cosmic rays to pour onto the earth. This led to mass extinctions and the destruction of the environment.
The findings establish that a WEAK GEOMAGNETIC FIELD INCREASES THE LIKELIHOOD OF MASS EXTINCTIONS. Particularly worrisome since the earth's geomagnetic field is currently decreasing in strength and the magnetic north is running full speed away from the physical North Pole. Electropollution is devastating the geomagnetic field. More below.
The disintegration of magnetic field 42,000 years ago is known as the Laschamp excursion and estimated to have lasted 250 years, The period leading up to the pole shift has been given the name of the "Adams Transitional Geomagnetic Event" in honor of British humorist Douglas Adams. He wrote The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy and the Last Chance to See, which is about extinction.
The Pole Shift Was Devastating
The pole shift 42,000 tears ago disrupted the earth's geomagnetic field and allowed harmful Cosmic Rays to enter the earth's atmosphere unfiltered. This led to species extinctions and the end of Neanderthal man. Humans survived by moving underground and living in caves. This contributed too much of the ancient cave art that we find around the world.
The event also led to low sun activity, an increase in ultraviolet light, an increase in damaging radiation, a depletion in the ozone layer... Places like Australia saw prolonged periods of drought.
A weakened geomantic field had a huge impact upon life, that is because all of life is tied to the geomagnetic field. We need it to survive. NASA found in the early days of space exploration astronauts would get sick in space when deprived of the earth's energies such as the Schumann Resonance and created a device to replicate what some call the heartbeat of Mother Earth.
Electropollution
The geomagnetic field is weakening because we are microwaving our Mother to death with all of our technological devices: radio waves, TV signals, cell phones and more. We have wired the world with electrical wires and grounded them in the earth. Each time electricity moves it creates a magnetic field that interferes with our Mother's geomagnetic field.
A microwave oven emits harmful radiation and many of us own one and use it. We have electrical appliances, hair dryers, electric blankets and more, All of this interferes with the earth's geomagnetic field.
There is also WiFi technologies that we have incorporated into our lives and the environment with our smart devices, appliances, cars, computers ...and WiFi hookup stations.
Now we are introducing 5G into our lives and will be setting up transmitters on almost every block in our cities.
Our digital fix is not only killing us but severely damaging our Mother. The father of electromedicine and twice nominated for a Nobel Prize in medicine, Dr. Rober O Becker, once said that the damage done by electropollution from all our electrical devices has a far greater damaging effect upon the planet than climate change. And we are doing nothing about it.
Well some of us have heeded Becker's advice because he is the guy that got many of us not wanting to live near high power lines. Remember the guy holding a glowing fluorescent light underneath a power line--Becker was indirectly behind that.
The affects of electrolpollution are already being felt. The geomagnetic field has weakened 9% over the last two centuries Looking at the video below we can very vividly see that tears in our protective covering, or shield of geomagnetism are increasing in frequency.
A weakening of the geomagnetic field 42,000 years ago presaged a pole shift. We are well along our way for a repeat. And maybe sooner than we think.
Video above shows the South Atlantic Anomaly where our protective shield is weak. This animation via white dots shows the magnetic field strength at Earth’s surface from 2014-2020 based on data collected by the Swarm satellite constellation. Credit: Division of Geomagnetism, DTU Space.
The weakening of the earth's geomagnetic field is not a good thing. It could be prelude for many events from a pole shift, to a life extinction event. Most likely human activity is the cause. In recent years Electropollution from our cell phones, other digital devices, wind turbines, and more has had the effect of microwaving Mother Earth.
In an area stretching from Africa to South America, Earth’s magnetic field is gradually weakening. This strange behaviour has geophysicists puzzled and is causing technical disturbances in satellites orbiting Earth. Scientists are using data from ESA’s Swarm constellation to improve our understanding of this area known as the ‘South Atlantic Anomaly.’
It was reported today that an unusual compression/crunch within a section of the geomagnetic field led to anomaly in the Norther Lights causing it to twist and contort in unusual patterns.. A mysterious crunch in Earth's magnetic field created a new type of aurora borealis. Scientists said that it was the first time that they have seen an aurora caused by a compression. They noted that it was not caused by the sun.
The article noted that,
On the day of this particular aurora, a NASA satellite detected a huge compression in Earth's magnetosphere (the protective bubble that the magnetic field creates around the planet) at the moment the lights began spiraling.
Scientists believe it may have been a magnetic storm at the periphery of the geomagnetic fields, but don''t know for sure why the compression happened.
Internal Factors ?
The article gave no consideration to internal factors within the the geomagnetic itself for being behind the compression. Instead the focus was on an exogenous shock. Consider
AS I have written about on several occasions human activity and intention are diminishing our Mother Grid.
It is highly likely that climate change and other environmental degradations are creating a cascading phenomenon that we have no comprehension about.
Something very strange is afoot. The compression in the geomagnetic field is not a good omen. Unfortunately we have not idea of what it portends. Is a pole shift, possibly a physical shift coming? Will climate change and a weakening geomagnetic field create new unimaginable problems?....

Below is a video from PBS Space time on the reversing of the Earth's Magnetic Polies.
Donald Trump garnered attention last week when he claimed that Wind Turbines cause cancer. INDEED He was quickly rebuked on several fronts. It shows how strong the Wind Turbine Coalition has become. The fact is that Wind Turbines seriously interrupt the flow of Energy in the Unseen World and are detrimental to our Mother and to all of creation. By interrupting the flow of energy Wind Turbines are are contributing to the weakening of the geomagnetic field and ultimately to a pole shift.
Ever since Dr. Nina Pierpont wrote Wind Turbine Syndrome: A Report on a Natural Experimen she has been viciously maligned and attacked by Windmill Turbine proponents and its industry hacks. When patients in her Malone, NY practices living near recently constructed windmills began showing up with a variety of health concerns she took notice. Eventually she determined the newly installed windmills were behind her patients ailments and she coined the term Wind Turbine Syndrome and wrote a book. Are you an Energy Healer? Sensitive to Earth Energies? Visit a Wind Turbine near you and find out for yourself the pain they inflect upon you. As environmentally concerned I used to be for windmills until I stopped my car to take pictures of some wind turbines in the Tug Hill region of NY near Barnes Corners. It felt like my head was in a vice and was about to get crushed. Here are two resources to learn more; a video and an article that I wrote.
I wrote the following. This one ran in Wisdom Magazine over a decade ago.
Summary: Wind turbines disturb the proper functioning of Mother Earth’s subtle body by blocking the flow of prana/chi/qi; the life force that sustains humanity and the plant and animal kingdoms.
By disrupting the flow of prana wind turbines are also damaging Mother Earth’s subtle body and diminishing her ability to regulate and maintain the environment. By damaging Mother Earth we may be exacerbating the affects of pollution because she is less able to deal with humanity’s onslaught on the environment. In other words, Mother Earth may be challenged by our pollution and disregard of her, but when we undertake measures that compromise her proper functioning, we seriously diminish her ability to process all that we throw at her.
Before rushing into employing alternative forms of energy such as wind turbines we need to consider the problems that they create. Previously, problems created by large wind turbines focused on their visual impact and the killing of birds. Here we examine the damage done by wind mills in disrupting the flow of prana across the surface of Mother Earth.
Analysis: Like just about every body else I had been very enthusiastic about the prospects of wind turbines and other forms of alternative energy to save the environment. That was until one weekend in October 2008 when I stopped my car in upstate NY, about 40 miles north of Syracuse in the Tug hill area to take a photograph of some windmills. The second I stepped out of my car I got a severe headache that felt as if my head was being squeezed in a vise. I took out my dowsing rods to determine what was creating the severe pain in my head. Within a few minutes I realized that the flow of prana was being disrupted by the large blades of the many wind turbines around me.
The Flow of Prana, Mind Body
Prana (Hindu Vedanta and Tantra term), what feng shui practitioners call chi or qi, is the life force that sustains humanity and the rest of the world. We cannot live without it. Prana is meant to flow across the surface of the earth giving life to and interacting with all that it comes in contact with. As within our own subtle body the flow of prana is regulated by a series of earth chakras, ducts and energy lines. There are several forms of prana in the ether around us. The one that I will be referring to is what I call Earth (also Material) Prana, because it is the prana that is recycled through the earth. Because it is circulated through the earth it is coarser and of a lower nature. See http://www.jubileeinitiative.org/pranaflow.html “The Circulation of Prana; How Mother Earth’s Subtle Body Works” for a detailed explanation on the flow of prana.
Earth prana is released from ducts on the surface of the earth and is drawn to an earth chakra a few hundred meters away. Like a human chakra the vortex of the earth chakra draws the prana in and recycles it through the earth before it is sent back into the air. Prana moves in a fairly straight line in the ether around us. Material objects and other factors can alter or even disrupt its flow.
Within our own subtle body the smooth flow of prana, or chi/qi, is critical to our health and well being. The eastern concept of mind-body is predicated on the belief that our mind influences our body and that our mind can create illness. Accordingly, illness manifests in the physical body when the flow of prana, chi/qi, is blocked at a particular location in our subtle body. When prana is blocked that part of the body where the blockage is located, or further along its circulatory path, does not get enough of the life force and eventually this deprivation leads to disease from a lack of nourishment. Note how Phoebe and Lawrence Bendit in The Etheric body of Man (Quest Books 1989) describe how blocked prana leads to disease: “There is a slight break in the rhythm of the vital currents over the site of the injury… This is often visible long before there is any evidence of organic trouble. It begins as a batch of disorganization of the currents in the particular part of the field over the organ affected. The rhythmic flow becomes broken and irregular, and small vortices form in which, as in a river whirlpool, waste matter accumulates instead of being thrown out…The movement slows down until real stagnation occurs. Then, at a certain point, the whole process becomes, as it were, precipitated into the level of the physical tissues and local organic disease is established.” Page 26-27 In other words the blockage of prana in the human subtle body leads to disease and it may take a long time before the area where the prana is being blocked manifests as disease.
Acupuncturists and pranic healers work to release blockages in the flow of the life force to eradicate illness and heal us. Once cleared of blockages prana begins properly circulating and can hopefully restore vigor to the diseased area by revitalizing it with the life force.
Visited sites and findings To ascertain whether wind turbines were in fact disturbing the flow of the life force, several sites were visited in upstate NY. Each site visited showed that the blades of the wind turbine blocked the flow of earth prana beginning anywhere between 300 to 400 feet away from the tower supporting the blades. Because the wind turbines were on private property it was not possible to walk very close to the blades. Several sites were visited when the blades were not moving and there appeared to be no serious blockages of prana at that time. However, it did appear that there was a residual impact remaining, whether that was there before or not is difficult to determine.
The following places were surveyed in New York State.
Maple Ridge, Barnes Corners, NY. This is the largest wind farm east of the Mississippi. We found serious disruption in the flow of prana, pockets of stagnation and numerous mini-tornadoes. This is the place where I first noticed that there was something wrong with wind farms.
Fenner, 5206 Buyea Road—Found pockets of stagnation and numerous negative vortices.
Fenner, 5306 Buyea Road—In addition to disruptions and negative energy vortexes at a distance of several hundred feet from the wind turbine, I could even feel the blades brush against my subtle body. I felt severe pressure on my head.
Madison, Munnsville, Cole Road- Numerous negative energy vortices, some quite large
Madison/Bouckville, Crow Hill Road—Found blockages of prana, pockets of stagnation and negative energy vortexes.
Problems Created by Disrupted Prana Flow Disrupting, blocking and stagnating the flow of prana/chi/qi create problems for both humanity and Mother Earth. How much is difficult to ascertain because we know so little about the spiritual side of Mother Earth and her subtle body and our dynamic relationship with her. We also have limited knowledge of our own subtle body and have only recently begun to accept the mind body concept and the healing techniques of the eastern traditions such as acupuncture.
Disrupting the flow of prana reduces the amount of prana available for the human subtle body to absorb prana. Examination of healers, such as reiki practitioners shows that the location and environment where they practice matters and when they do healings where prana is blocked, their efforts are impaired. Earth prana, is drawn from the immediate area towards the person doing the healing. The healing creates a small pocket, or circle of several feet in diameter around the healer as the earth prana in the immediate is drawn towards the healer. I call this a hug from Mother Earth as she is responding to the healers by sending them a healing hug of increased prana.
Healings done where earth prana is stagnating, or has its flow blocked draws little if any earth prana towards the healing area. So must assume our prana intake is reduced in an area where wind turbines are blocking the flow of prana. It should be noted that other pranas not blocked will be drawn to the healing area.
Hurting Mother Earth Blocking the flow of prana prevents the proper functioning of Mother Earth’s subtle body. As with our own subtle body such blockages mean that part of Mother Earth’s subtle body and the plant kingdom is being deprived of all the nourishment it needs from the life force to properly sustain itself.
The larger concern is that by damaging Mother Earth’s subtle body we may be reducing her ability to properly function. This limits her ability to maintain the environment, potentially having detrimental consequences. For example, medical doctors are all too familiar with how a patient that is comprised from a serous illness is very vulnerable and can succumb to a host of diseases such as pneumonia, the flu or the common cold, that for the healthy person would mean bed rest but not death. In other words, it may well be that while pollution taxes Mother Earth, she has the ability to process a lot; but if her subtle body is compromised her ability to deal with manmade pollution is significantly reduced.
The anti global warming crowd is quick to point out that there are a lot of natural contributors of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere such as decaying forests and forest fires. For a long time Mother Earth was able to process all of the carbon emitted from this and other natural processes, so why global warming now? Environmentalist will argue that global warming is the result of increased carbon production from technology and globalization and a reduction in size of some of the world’s largest forests.
Could it be that we have global warming because we have damaged Mother Earth’s subtle body through a host of ways including wind turbines? That just as with our own subtle body, we have created blockages in Mother Earth’s subtle body that are now beginning to manifest in the disease of global warming. No doubt we have damaged Mother Earth’s subtle body and diminished her ability to properly function. How much of a role this is playing in global warming is difficult to determine at this time. What is not in doubt is that wind turbines compromise Mother Earth’s subtle body.
Forests There are a myriad of other problems created when we disturb Mother Earth’s subtle body. When the flow of earth prana is blocked by things such as wind turbines every thing downstream from it is deprived of nourishment.
After earth prana circulates in the air it is meant to travel through the physical earth before it goes back up into the atmosphere and is recycled. While in the physical earth, it helps maintain the land close to the surface (there is another whole complex architecture that maintains the larger physical planet) and gives nourishment to the plant kingdom.
The question is what is the impact for the plant kingdom if plants and trees are deprived of earth prana? Are they less able to deal with the elements, made more vulnerable to disease and are they made less able to process carbon? Most certainly they are, but we cannot at this time unequivocally demonstrate this.
Hearsay and legend does say that trees are impacted when they are deprived of earth prana, or at least that is what I assume happened at South Hill. South Hill (http://www.jubileeinitiative.org/sacredsouthhill.html) lies at the southern tip of Canandaigua Lake in New York State (30 miles southeast of Rochester) and is where the Seneca people believe they emerged. Renowned archaeologist and NY state historian William Ritchie believed that before the Seneca’s arrived it was the home to the Hopewell and Adena. He attributes the formation of several large stone mounds (now crumbling) on top of the mountain to them.
My analysis has found that those stone mounds were placed upon earth chakras, not only that but every earth chakra on the mountain is similarly covered with stones. This action has the affect of disrupting and blocking the flow of earth prana because it is unable to be properly absorbed into an earth chakra and feed the roots of the trees. This has had the affect of energizing the air like some giant Tesla experiment. A sentient person can sense the blockages and it was most likely done to increase the energy in the air and enhance one’s spiritual experience. While the blockages have not progressed to the point that they are creating mini-tornadoes like windmills do, they are depriving the land of prana. This has had an impact on the trees. According to archeologist and NEARA member David Robinson (http://www.crookedlakereview.com/articles/67_100/71feb1994/71robinson.html "Saint George, the Serpent and the Seneca Indians", The Crooked Lake Review, February 1994 notes that legend has it that “trees grow very, very slowly on South Hill.”
Storms Another concern regarding wind turbines blocking the flow of earth prana is that it might contribute to increased violent weather. A negative energy vortex wreaks havoc on the human subtle body and may also play a role in influencing the weather. These whirlpools are very similar to and mimic the movement and behavior of tornadoes, twisters, and hurricanes.
All of the sites visited had mini-tornadoes in their immediate area. One cannot attribute this to the wind turbines with 100% conviction, but without a doubt they at least contributed to their creation. As a negative energy vortex grows in size over time, one must wonder what the affects of such large vortices may have on the surrounding environment and our weather after several decades of wind turbine use. We must remember that the industrial revolution and its ensuing pollution seemed rather innocuous initially, but over time became devastating to people’s health and the environment. Will it be the same for windmills? Will wind farm areas become the equivalent of tornado alley or the host of other violent storms? As was noted earlier it takes a very long time before the blockage of prana in the human subtle body leads to disease.
Undoubtedly there are many more problems that wind turbines create. Unfortunately, we might not able to recognize them before it is too late.
A Grain of Salt Before totally dismissing the use of wind turbines we need to consider a few things. Wind turbines are not unique in blocking the flow of prana. A host of technologies, structures and other things block the flow of earth prana and other pranas and essences from Mother Earth and have been doing so for a very long time. So in a way wind turbines are nothing new when it comes to disrupting Mother Earth’s subtle body. Perhaps they are even less damaging to Mother Earth’s subtle body than other technologies?
There is also variety of pranas that we can draw upon. It appears that Mother Nature may be inventive and provided a host of back-up forms of prana to sustain us. So while we may be better off by having abundant earth prana sustain us, we might be able to get by without and rely on some other form of prana.
Conclusion Wind turbines are clearly disturbing the flow of earth prana. The question is how serious a problem this is and whether it outweighs the benefits of clean technology. I don’t think that we have the answer to that question yet, it may well be that wind turbines create a much more serious threat to Mother Earth and humanity than pollution and global warming. We cannot properly answer the question because we are so ignorant and naïve in our knowledge of how Mother Earth’s subtle body works and our dynamic relationship with her.
The rush to wind farms by the Obama administration and environmentalist around the world needs to come to a halt. We are rushing into something without understanding the implications of what we are doing. Scientific research continues to point to a coming tipping point when we cannot stop the assault; some say we have already passed that point and the melting of the polar icecaps, much higher temperatures and other disturbance are inevitable. This sort of thinking puts further pressure on us to act, arguably creating a panic of sorts in certain circles.
The bigger risk is that by rushing into alternative forms of energy we may be further damaging Mother Earth’s subtle body. It is damage that may accelerate global warming by further compromising Mother Earth’s subtle body to properly function. We may also be doing irrevocable damage to her, or damage that will take a long time to heal.
Mother Earth may well have more resilience and ability to respond to our current environmental crisis than we understand. There may be things that we can do to help her heal and better process the filth that we have cast upon her, but to do this we need to have more knowledge of her.
As a person of faith I am convinced that once we understand how Mother Earth works and put our hearts into a proper solution anything is possible. As it stands right now we are being sold a panacea that is a mirage. Alternative forms of energy may well help end global warming but its medicine is most likely worse than the disease. We need to connect with and learn about Mother Earth. Then we will know what needs to be done. Let’s step back and think before we plunge forward.
A just released study (see below) finds that the humans have a magnetic sense that allows our brain to detect the Earth's magnetic fields. Further that as with all human abilities there is great variability amongst people's sentience of the magnetic field. To me this is great news because I believe it underscores my work with our Mother and Her aspects such as Fields of Consciousness, the Life Force and Earth Chakras and a host of other Earth Energies. I also believe that older civilizations had greater sentience of the magnetic field and respect for our Mother and would create stone structures to enhance Her. At the same time it makes me wonder what consequences a pole shift would have upon us and our magnetic sense. What affect is the weakening geomagnetic field having upon different species such as birds, bees...? Is being sentient of Mother Earth truly beneficial as I believe? Will it help in dealing with a pole shift? Blessings, madis
The mixed results in people may be due to the fact that virtually all past studies relied on behavioral decisions from the participants. If human beings do possess a magnetic sense, daily experience suggests that it would be very weak or deeply subconscious. Such faint impressions could easily be misinterpreted – or just plain missed – when trying to make decisions.
The Earth is surrounded by a magnetic field, generated by the movement of the planet’s liquid core. It’s why a magnetic compass points north. At Earth’s surface, this magnetic field is fairly weak, about 100 times weaker than that of a refrigerator magnet.
Over the past 50 years or so, scientists have shown that hundreds of organisms in nearly all branches of the bacterial, protist and animal kingdoms have the ability to detect and respond to this geomagnetic field. In some animals – such as honey bees – the geomagnetic behavioral responses are as strong as the responses to light, odor or touch. Biologists have identified strong responses in vertebrates ranging from fish, amphibians, reptiles, numerous birds and a diverse variety of mammals including whales, rodents, bats, cows and dogs – the last of which can be trained to find a hidden bar magnet. In all of these cases, the animals are using the geomagnetic field as components of their homing and navigation abilities, along with other cues like sight, smell and hearing.
Skeptics dismissed early reports of these responses, largely because there didn’t seem to be a biophysical mechanism that could translate the Earth’s weak geomagnetic field into strong neural signals. This view was dramatically changed by the discovery that living cells have the ability tobuild nanocrystals of the ferromagneticmineral magnetite – basically, tiny iron magnets. Biogenic crystals of magnetite were first seen in the teeth of one group of mollusks, later in bacteria, and then in a variety of other organisms ranging from protists and animals such as insects, fish and mammals, including within tissues of the human brain.
Manipulating the magnetic field
n our new study, we asked 34 participants simply to sit in our testing chamber while we directly recorded electrical activity in their brains with electroencephalography (EEG). Our modified Faraday cage included a set of 3-axis coils that let us create controlled magnetic fields of high uniformity via electric current we ran through its wires. Since we live in mid-latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere, the environmental magnetic field in our lab dips downwards to the north at about 60 degrees from horizon.
chematic drawing of the human magnetoreception test chamber at Caltech.Modified from 'Center of attraction' by C. Bickel (Hand, 2016).
In normal life, when someone rotates their head – say, nodding up and down or turning the head from left to right – the direction of the geomagnetic field (which remains constant in space) will shift relative to their skull. This is no surprise to the subject’s brain, as it directed the muscles to move the head in the appropriate fashion in the first place.
In our experimental chamber, we can move the magnetic field silently relative to the brain, but without the brain having initiated any signal to move the head. This is comparable to situations when your head or trunk is passively rotated by somebody else, or when you’re a passenger in a vehicle which rotates. In those cases, though, your body will still register vestibular signals about its position in space, along with the magnetic field changes – in contrast, our experimental stimulation was only a magnetic field shift. When we shifted the magnetic field in the chamber, our participants did not experience any obvious feelings.
Study participants sat in the experimental chamber facing north, while the downwards-pointing field rotated clockwise (blue arrow) from northwest to northeast or counterclockwise (red arrow) from northeast to northwest.Magnetic Field Laboratory, Caltech, CC BY-ND
The EEG data, on the other hand, revealed that certain magnetic field rotations could trigger strong and reproducible brain responses. One EEG pattern known from existing research, called alpha-ERD (event-related desynchronization), typically shows up when a person suddenly detects and processes a sensory stimulus. The brains were “concerned” with the unexpected change in the magnetic field direction, and this triggered the alpha-wave reduction. That we saw such alpha-ERD patterns in response to simple magnetic rotations is powerful evidence for human magnetoreception.
Our participants’ brains only responded when the vertical component of the field was pointing downwards at about 60 degrees (while horizontally rotating), as it does naturally here in Pasadena, California. They did not respond to unnatural directions of the magnetic field – such as when it pointed upwards. We suggest the response is tuned to natural stimuli, reflecting a biological mechanism that has been shaped by natural selection.
Other researchers have shown that animals’ brains filter magnetic signals, only responding to those that are environmentally relevant. It makes sense to reject any magnetic signal that is too far away from the natural values because it most likely is from a magnetic anomaly - a lighting strike, or lodestone deposit in the ground, for example. One early report on birds showed that robins stop using the geomagnetic field if the strength is more than about 25 percent different from what they were used to. It’s possible this tendency might be why previous researchers had trouble identifying this magnetic sense – if they cranked up the strength of the magnetic field to “help” subjects detect it, they might have instead ensured that subjects’ brains ignored it.
Moreover, our series of experiments show that the receptor mechanism – the biological magnetometer in human beings – is not electrical induction, and can tell north from south. This latter feature rules out completely the so-called “quantum compass” or “cryptochrome”mechanism which is popular these days in the animal literature on magnetoreception. Our results are consistent only with functional magnetoreceptor cells based on the biological magnetite hypothesis. Note that a magnetite-based system can also explainall of the behavioral effects in birds that promoted the rise of the quantum compass hypothesis.
Brains register magnetic shifts, subconsciously
Our participants were all unaware of the magnetic field shifts and their brain responses. They felt that nothing had happened during the whole experiment – they’d just sat alone in dark silence for an hour. Underneath, though, their brains revealed a wide range of differences. Some brains showed almost no reaction, while other brains had alpha waves that shrank to half their normal size after a magnetic field shift.
It remains to be seen what these hidden reactions might mean for human behavioral capabilities. Do the weak and strong brain responses reflect some kind of individual differences in navigational ability? Can those with weaker brain responses benefit from some kind of training? Can those with strong brain responses be trained to actually feel the magnetic field?
A human response to Earth-strength magnetic fields might seem surprising. But given the evidence for magnetic sensation in our animal ancestors, it might be more surprising if humans had completely lost every last piece of the system. Thus far, we’ve found evidence that people have working magnetic sensors sending signals to the brain – a previously unknown sensory ability in the subconscious human mind. The full extent of our magnetic inheritance remains to be discovered.
I came across this article today on how stone walls in New York and New Hamspshire were being used to measure the movement of the magnetic pole over the last few centuries. You will find it below. It is a synopsis of a research project that worked with stone walls. I often find stone walls aligned with certain energy formations in our Mother's geomagnetic field. I have never thought of looking at them to see if they are part of the Earth Grid that aligns with the magnetic poles. There are formations I have found that I believe are aligned with the magnetic field. But they are not too conducive to use to determine alignments with accuracy. I DO HOWEVER HAVE A QUESTION THAT I WELCOME INPUT ON. GIVEN THE POLE SHIFT IF I FIND A WALL MAPPING OUT SOMETHING SUCH AS AN ENERGY LINES AND THEY ARE STILL ALIGNED WITH THE ENERGY FORMATION--DOES THIS MEAN THAT THE ENERGY FORMATION DEALS WITH (POWERS, GIVES FORM TO ...ETC) THE PHYSICAL EARTH AND NOT THE MAGNETIC FIELD. BECAUSE IF THE STONE STRUCTURE WAS ORIGINALLY ALIGNED WITH THE MAGNETIC FIELD IT WOULD NO LONGER BE SO. SECONDLY, IF THIS IS SO COULD THE REASON I AM NOT FINDING AN ABUNDANCE OF ALIGNMENTS WITH THE MAGNETIC FIELD IS BECAUSE EONS AGO THE PEOPLE BUILDING STONE STRUCTURES KNEW, OR LEARNED, THAT THEY MOVE? THIRD, THIS GETS DOWN TO WHY THE POLE SHIFTS. WHY? I DON'T THINK ITS BECAUSE OF THE MOLTEH CORE
The needle of a magnetic compass doesn't point exactly to the geographical poles, but to the magnetic poles. The angle of deviation is called magnetic declination, and its degree varies depending on where one stands on the globe. Earth's magnetic field varies depending on one's location, influenced by magnetic minerals found in Earth's crust, and also is not constant, but changes over time, probably a result of shifting currents of partially molten material in Earth's inner core. Nowadays the magnetic pole is wandering with a speed of 30 miles per year, following a straight path from the Canadian Arctic to Siberia.
To reconstruct the polar shifts in the last centuries scientists used historic ships’ logbooks, as sailors recorded the position of the magnetic poles during their travels, or magnetic minerals found in pottery, preserving the direction of the magnetic field when the clay was fired to give it a hard, durable form.
Geochemist John Delano from the State University of New York at Albany used an unusual source to reconstruct Earth's shifting magnetic field, inspired by an old map from 1790. He used old stone walls as well as old streets, built in Colonial America, to reconstruct the shift in Earth's magnetic poles over the last 300 years. Since his early childhood Delano, growing up in the country in New Hampshire, became fascinated by the remains of the walls found in the middle of the woods. Observing a map from 1790 he realized that the stone walls form a grid pattern, marking the property boundaries of the many 100-acre farms founded here the late 17th and early 18th century. The walls were built using rocks deposited in the landscape of New York and New Hampshire by glaciers some 10,000 years ago. As the rocks make it hard to plow the fields, early colonists piled them up along the borders of their fields. Later the farmers used them to built stone walls and to mark the property boundaries. The area was finally abandoned as the young United States expanded west and better farmland was discovered.

Delano studied hundreds of 17th- and 19th-century surveys from the New York Sate archives and compared them to modern aerial images to find the stone walls in the former farmland, nowadays located in the middle of a forest. At first, he measured the still standing walls using GPS. However, as this method was quite time-consuming, he acquired modern land surveys based on LiDAR technology. LiDAR images, where the landscape is scanned using pulses of laser light and special software removes the forest cover, revealed the underlying ground surface, and Delano was able to map 745 miles of stone walls. He compared the course of the walls with respect to the modern magnetic pole to compass measurements done by early surveyors. The land surveyors used a map with a reference grid disposed according to the location of the magnetic pole at the time of the survey. The stone walls were mapped and referenced according to this grid and so the maps produced are of very high precision. The stone walls were mapped with just ±0.30 degrees of error in relation to the Earth's magnetic field. One of the most detailed surveys done in 1787 placed the stone walls about 4° west of the true geographical pole; modern measurements place the stone walls about 9° west, as the magnetic pole apparently moved away from the geographical pole. Using various surveys done over time in the studied areas Delano was able to reconstruct the polar shift from 1685 until 1910.

The model based on Delano's survey confirms other reconstruction of Earth's magnetic pole shifts in the last 300 years. However, for the period from 1775 to 1810 there are small differences, suggesting that the former models need to be updated.
