It is certainly worth a read....

On the Sun, Planets, and Meteoric Veils

K. H. and G. de Purucker

[Nearly a hundred years ago, in the early 1880s, two Englishmen living in India entered into correspondence with two Eastern adepts signing themselves K.H. and M.: A. O. Hume, C.B., in Her Majesty's Service in Simla, and A. P. Sinnett, editor of The Pioneer, then leading Anglo-Indian newspaper at Allahabad. These letters covered a wide range of subjects, from the inner nature of man and the rigors of discipleship, to radiant energy, the fundamental unity of matter and spirit and the genesis of solar and planetary worlds. Mr. Sinnett preserved the letters addressed to him as well as copies of some written to Mr. Hume, and the entire collection in his possession at death was published in 1923 by A. Trevor Barker as The Mahatma Letters to A. P. Sinnett. The original letters are housed in the British Museum.

We have made a selection from this correspondence of two questions asked by Sinnett (p. 146), and K.H.'s answers (pp. 167-8) which were received in October 1882 at Simla. Also included are comments made around 1940 by G. de Purucker at a study-group where these particular questions were being discussed. These later appeared in Studies in Occult Philosophy (pp. 318-23). We reproduce the three items together as of interest to readers. -- Ed.] ....>>>>>

It's all about cosmic power.

I like this bit....

In other words, the earth feeds itself physically, magnetically, psychically, spiritually, through the north pole. The currents sweep through the earth -- every word here is worth a volume -- and leave by the south pole. So it is with the sun. That is the way the sun feeds its family: just as the heart feeds the body. It sends out its blood through the south pole, as it were, and after the circulation around the body has taken place, it receives it in again at the north pole. Fascinating subject!

. Now Mars is in obscuration, consequently the meteoric veil surrounding globe D of the Mars-chain is very thin. When the life-waves begin to come into Mars again, as they will before many millions of years have passed,

Mars also will begin again to be re-covered with what scientists call heavy clouds, which are really veils of meteoric dust. Attracted psycho-vital-magnetically by the tremendously vital power of the planets which they surround, these meteoric continents perform somewhat the same function with regard to the planets that the human aura does for us. The meteoric veils are composed of dust, the effluvia rising up from the earth partly, but mainly and more largely from interplanetary and interstellar cosmic dust: the refuse, the sweat, the detritus, of other manvantaras, karmically drawn back, as life-atoms are drawn back to the reincarnating man.

Mars is reawakening sooner than thought!!!

Our explorations of it could be 'waking up' Mars from it's hybernation!!!!

Note the sudden inexplicable increase in cloud formations!!!!

Mars is the only planet with a surface that can be plainly seen and charted from Earth. Since spacecraft have photographed Mars, we know the gray-green features observers see on the Martian disk are a variety of structures, and the appearance and borders of these structures are modified seasonally or over the years by wind-blown dust. Visual observers can also document the shrinking of the southern polar cap, as Martian spring turns to summer and the snows thaw. During 2007-2008 observers will write another chapter in the observational history of changing Martian features.

For visual observers the Martian atmosphere offers more variety than any other Martian feature. In 2007 and 2008 you can watch white clouds form downwind from the big volcanoes, track the yellow dust storms as they build over the plains, and monitor the blue hazes in the atmosphere.

igure 3. Albedo feature maps prepared from ALPO/IMP data by D.M. Troiani and D.P. Joyce. The maps cover three apparitions: 1992-1993 (top), 1994-1995 (middle), and 1996-1997 (bottom). Methods of position measurement are described in the text. Each map was derived from analysis of several hundred observations, photographs, and CCD images.

Discrete clouds have been observed on Mars for over a century. In 1907, a remarkable, recurring W-shaped cloud formation was observed each late-spring afternoon in the Tharsis-Amazonis region [slipher, 1962]. A decade later, C.F. Capen proposed that the W-clouds are orographic (mountain-generated), caused by the up-lifting of water vapor-laden atmosphere. [Capen, 1984 and Capen, 1986]. In 1971, the Mariner 9 spacecraft probe confirmed these observations, and showed that they were water clouds near the large volcanoes Olympus Mons (133° W, 18° N), Ascraeus Mons (104° W, 11° N), Pavonis Mons (112° W, 0° N), and Arsia Mons (120° W, 9° S).

Certainly sounds like active volcanoes!!!

Morning clouds are bright, isolated patches of surface fog or frost near the morning limb. The fogs usually dissipate by mid-morning, while the frosts may persist most of the Martian day, depending on the season. These bright features are best viewed with blue-green, blue, or violet filters. Occasionally, very low morning clouds can also be seen in green or yellow light.

Evening clouds have the same appearance as morning clouds but are usually larger and more numerous than the latter. They appear as isolated bright patches over light desert regions in the late Martian afternoon and grow in size as they rotate into the late evening. They are best seen in blue or violet light.

The size and frequency of limb clouds appear to be related to the regression of the northern, rather than the southern, polar cap. Both limb arcs and limb clouds are prominent after aphelion (70° Ls), but limb clouds tend to decrease rapidly in frequency after early summer, while limb hazes become more numerous and conspicuous throughout the northern summer.

Equatorial Cloud Bands (ECB) appear as broad, diffuse hazy bands along the Martian equatorial zone and are difficult to observe with ground-based telescopes. CCD images and the HST have revealed that these clouds may be more common than suspected in the past.

Nighttime clouds detected for the first time on Mars help to keep the planet's surface warm after sunset when temperatures drop, a new study suggests.

The nocturnal clouds are five times thicker than their daytime counterparts and hover close to the ground, almost like a fog.
