Ball Lightning


Ball lightning has always been one of the greatest mysteries of mankind. Since the times of the early Greeks, there have been reports of these strange balls of fire. The title "ball lightning" may actually be a misnomer; maybe it is not a form of lightning, but something else entirely. What makes the concept of ball lightning so confusing is that so many of its attributes seemingly defy the laws of nature.

Although a great number of people are beginning to believe, many people are still skeptical of the very existence of ball lightning. They argue that there is not enough scientific evidence nor sufficient recorded eyewitness accounts to prove ball lightning is a real phenomenon; however, it would seem that these arguments must be left to the uninformed. One needs only to log onto the Internet and use the keywords "ball lightning" to find numerous eyewitness accounts, many from highly respected scientists or researchers. In fact, according to a study completed in the 1960s, approximately five percent of the world's population claims to have observed ball lightning at one time or another. This may seem a small fraction until you consider that it is equivalent to the percentage of the population that has been close enough to a normal lightning strike to see its point of impact.

This information having been provided, there can be no doubt that some sort of phenomenon exists that is commonly referred to as "ball lightning." Naturally, there is an infinitesimal number of theories regarding the cause and composition of ball lightning. Yet, these can not be considered until one has a working knowledge of the basic characteristics of ball lightning.

One thing that immediately becomes obvious when compiling data about ball lightning is that its attributes can be quite varied. Many eyewitness accounts would seemingly contradict each other. For example, although ball lightning is normally observed during thunderstorm activity, reports of its occurrence in broad daylight are not uncommon. It has been seen originating at the point of impact of an ordinary lightning strike, hanging in mid-air between the ground and a thunder head, and even descending from a cloud to the ground.

Creating a Plasma Ball

This is done by only using your hands and your psychic ability.



For today's 'feat of magic' we are going to create a plasma ball of energy between our hands.

You may sit or stand for this activity.

Your hands should be clean and dry.

If your hands are cold, try to bring them to normal body temperature before you begin. This is difficult to do when hands are cold.

Place your elbows close to your body.

Place the palms of your hands facing each other, between one and two inches apart, but not touching.

You are going to rotate your hands slowly, in small circles. Your dominate hand may move faster or make larger circles.

You will feel an electromagnetic 'pull' between your hands. This is the human energy field - the auric field.

Rotate your hands faster, as you feel the energies build up. The subatomic particles of your body are vibrating energy. Matter and energy are one and the same. Because all energy originates from the same source of consciousness, energy is conscious.

The length of time should be no more than one minute.

You are building a plasma ball of energy.

When you stop moving your hands, hold them in a cupped position.

You should feel the plasma ball.

You may use it any way you wish - to place on the body to heal - to bring energy to yourself - placed in one of your chakras - to heal another person. Many people are intuitively guided to heal with the palms of the hands, the most common method being Reiki, in which the palms are attuned with symbols. It implies that we are all natural healers. All is energy and energy is all there is. In purely physical terms we live and move and have our being in an eternal, infinite, interlocking system of energies and forces that compose our universe. Some of these energies appear to our five senses to be solid and have form, even though when we examine them closely they seem to disappear Into nothing but space and energy.

The intensity of the energy created between the hands varies from person to person.
