I don’t really want to report my findings, but I have a duty to tell you. I’m just going day by day through my data since 12/6/23 when I started logging and looking for patterns.
As we know from last week, Tomsk, Russia, has been vocal about the fact that “they,” someone, is hiding the readings around earth from their machines or 📡 antenna. NASA? This is the first time they’ve said anything like this since I’ve been tracking. I am mindful of the attempt to hide the information now, and I will remote view it.
Tomsk ScR says THEY are not being hacked, and that is true. The source of Tomsk going down has been an attempt to hack OUR TIME HARMONIC, which I don’t think Tomsk is aware of since at least 2/2/24. It is as plain as the nose on your face when you look at my readings over four months.
The facts are these so far:
12 days have had gamma hz pulse at various time gateways on TONE 3. That’s VERY high, consistently through February and then, especially on 3Blue Hand and 2Worldbridger, Trump and Biden next to each other in the harmonic. ?? Really as though someone was doing it on purpose. 2/3/24 and 2/4/24. Gamma hz on Tone 3.
They were attempting to activate the hack using Tone 3, and the Tomsk went down and stayed down during the GAP (galactic activation portals) kin from 6White Dog to 12 Yellow Warrior in the Zone of Transformation on the left from 2/7/24-2/13/24. This was before we hit HF33.
Then Tomsk went down from 2/27/24, 2/28/24 and 2/29/24 Exactly during HF33 and leap day. Huge synchronicity and very suspicious. I posted extensively on that because it’s a time pivot sticking in their craw pulsing big time to the solar eclipse. Big synchronicity.
The Frequency levels are always 8-14-20-25hz on four layers on the surface, controlling our brains at alpha-beta hz.
I have more to do and will continue tomorrow. It’s giving me a headache, and I need to remote view the truth with the help of the universe. Then tomorrow, we can meditate for a positive outcome for surface life.
Because human bodies/brains are full of natural electricity and magnetism, anything that is electrical or magnetic, like the magnetosphere around earth, the tools we use, the cars and trucks we drive, the cell phones and towers, and the sun will affect us. Radiation IS electromagnetism. See below. Any doctor or government agency that tells you that ELM energy doesn’t affect us is lying in a very dis-empowering way.
The sun is electromagnetic and they readily admit that the radiation from the sun directly affect our bodies/eyes/brains. The sun is what CREATES the magnetosphere around the entire planet to make sure earth is safe and kept at certain levels for evolution. It’s like a greenhouse.
The USGS admits to radiation affecting us though. Look at the definition of radiation. It’s electromagnetism that affects ions which are molecules. We are made of trillions of molecules.
1. Physics-the emission of energy as electromagnetic waves or as moving subatomic particles, especially high-energy particles which cause ionization.
the energy transmitted by radiation, as heat, light, electricity, etc.plural noun: radiations “background radiation”
2. Biology; divergence out from a central point, in particular evolution from an ancestral animal or plant group into a variety of new forms.”evolution is a process of radiation not progression”
This was yesterday. Assessing this is ever so interesting. I can feel what’s happening here the same way I did when I figured out the DNA alignments in the chart in my book. I feel like I’m an empathic channel for evolutionary levels and status for life on earth. I love humans, babies, animals, and plants, that’s for sure. And the trees… they are our ancestors and guides, profoundly so. Trees hold the grounding Qi for the entire planet, and our bodies when we walk are like a two prong electric plug into a socket.

3/12/2024 13Ala HF36
Dawn Noon Dusk Midnight Highest Hz Time Brainwaves Tone 13 C1 Not showing up. NASA needs to expand Van Allen Probes. Tone12 A1 2 2 10.6 2 10.6 Dusk alpha (young adult) Tone11 A2 1 1 1 1 1 Dusk delta (sleeping) Tone10 A3 1 1 1 1 1 Dusk delta Tone 9 A4 13 1 1 1 13 Dawn beta (+conscious)
I’ve left a space between the Van Allen Belt layers around the entire earth that add up to 13 layers; C1-Q4. As I said before, the Frequency layers for surface dwellers are incredibly uniform and consistent. If those ever started to tank, which I don’t think is possible, the human BRAIN would be getting blasted along with the rest of the DNA on the surface. Things could get violent. We are protected but it could get sketchy this year. Keep an eye on the F1-4 layers.
Tone 8-F1, Galactic layer pulses between theta, alpha, and beta. Remember it’s pulsars are earth based Tone 4 self-existing form and Tone 12 collective cooperation. When this finally goes up to beta hz and stays there, I think we will see 1, 5, 9, and 13 show up finally. Most humans and institutions still follow the faulty space coordinate of 12:60 and not in correct 13:20 time.
I changed the ScR layer names to our Tones. Good? Poor tone 13, all alone. Tone 12 did get up to 34 hz though.
Amplitudes are trying to rise on a Tone 1 magnetic day and so are the Qfactor layers in deep earth.
Remember that the TIME are the colored lines. Along the bottom are the Tones or layers and on the left are the hertz levels of sound.
This was yesterday, 3/5/24. Tone 6 is F3. That was normal Pulsars are 2 and 10 so Q3 and A3. Tone 6 is Rhythmic so it’s like the chaos of the adjustment to HF33.
This is today, 3/6/24. Tone 7 is F2. We had some high dawn activity but that’s because it’s resonant. It’s a windup.
This is the first full day that’s registered over 3 days. Today. Q4 or Tone 1 but it is not pulsing as high as the surface frequencies as you can see from F3 and F4 or Tones 5 and 6. Tone 5 is a pulsar of Tone 1.
The numbers on the left are hertz sound levels so the frequencies on the surface are pretty high. From 8.3hz up to 25 hz further below the surface’
I’ve never seen such powerful synchronicity in the Harmonic for the 35 years I’ve been tracking. As Harmonic veterans know, HF33 if the center of the pivot in time from past to future so strong that we sit in the NOW point and the Christ center of kin 130 in HF33. It is White 13 Dog. Add 1 and you have the occult partner and the fifth dimensional galactic force. Newbs to this information can laugh all they want but it’s the real deal. I’ve been tracking synchronicity for 30+ years and it’s never wrong.
It looks like this in 4D Time. We just passed this 5gforce yesterday’s, yesterday. You read that right because of the leap day on 2/29.
April 8, the full solar eclipse IS THE 5GFORCE, the 5th dimensional galactic force FOR WHITE 13 COSMIC DOG, THE VERY CENTER OF THE HARMONIC, KIN130, IN HF33.😵. The Sun channels Source from Galactic Center, so this is a new beginning of cosmic proportions coming to earth via the sun as all things come via the sun.
We SEAL the process of heart this Easter.
Look at the start and stop codon on either side. 1. Methionine as analog and 1 stop codon as the antipode. That’s the change to our DNA. Blue Monkey as our Hidden Wisdom. The 5gforce is White 13 Cosmic Dog!
This is a big deal.Prepare your body/mind over the next month. Anyone who is about evil/error all the time, or trying to nullify Christ’s presence on this planet which they’ve done for millenia, are going to freak out because their days are numbered.
Take it easy if you have a headache or your eyes hurt. Drink plenty of water, eat less, and use Refresh Eyedrops. Watch for eyedrop recalls. Starlink satellites from SpaceX are likely affected.
The Tomsk, Russia ScR station has been down for at least a day. I can’t start logging data yet. As far as the Earth Holon, we are squarely in the Blue Eagle TIme Portal at the N. Pole, 60 degrees N–105 degrees W in N. Saskatuan Canada by Uranium City on the border of the N. Territories. This area covers much of the East Coast expecting snowmagedden probably tonight, the Great Lakes (No big weather for us. Sunny here.), much of NE Canada and up into Greenland. The combination of the Time portal changes, earth changes, and the changes in the magnetosphere change the weather.
SOLAR RADIATION STORM–NOW: For the second time in less than a week, energetic solar protons are raining down on Earth’s upper atmosphere. Forecasters call this a “solar radiation storm.” Today’s storm (near category S2) is rich in “hard protons” wiith energies greater than 50 MeV. It is causing a shortwave radio blackout inside the Arctic Circle and speckling the cameras of some Earth-orbiting satellites. (Starlink)
The plot above shows storm data recorded by NOAA’s GOES-18 satellite in Earth orbit. Sensors on the satellite are counting energetic protons as they pass by en route to Earth. Triggered by an explosion near the sun’s southwestern limb (inset), this storm could last for another 24 hours. Solar flare alerts:SMS Text
IS A ‘CANNIBAL CME’ COMING? Since Feb. 7th, the sun has hurled multiple CMEs into space. A handful of them might hit Earth this week. A new NOAA forecast model shows at least three solar storm clouds approaching for strikes on Feb. 13th:
The closely-spaced arrival of these three CMEs could spark G1 (Minor) to G2-class (Moderate) geomagnetic storms with high-latitude auroras in northern Europe, Canada, and northern-tier US states from Maine to Washington.
There’s a chance the CMEs will pile up to form a Cannibal CME. This happens when one fast-moving CME sweeps up slower-moving CMEs in front of it. Cannibal CMEs typically contain strong shocks and enhanced magnetic fields that do a good job sparking geomagnetic storms. If such a pile-up occurs, the combined strike could cause a G3 (Strong) geomagnetic storm with auroras at mid-latitudes. CME Impact alerts:SMS Text
Science relies on Data. Then interpretation of patterns based on multiple levels of intelligence which science has notoriously ignored. Finally, not just logic, but intuition applied to develop a theory.
Tone1/Q4 and Tone5/F4 of the Schumann Resonance consistently ran the highest hertz level sound daily, the highest percentage of time, 45 times out of 60. That is remarkable, very consistent, and seems to have an intelligent mission to it. The response might be, “Oh, that’s just the sun cycles.” If the sun has PREDICTABLE, uniform cycles, it’s sentient, not random. The ancients have said the sun is sentient forever. So do some scientists now. I contend that the Harmonic works in tandem with the sun and the rest of the solar system to harmonize our evolution to the power of 5 and 20. It’s exponential and vigesimal and spirals.
I’ve highlighted anomalies.
I logged from 12/6/23-2/6/24. This is just an initial analysis. I am also using 35 years of logging synchronicity and my intuition, as well as all my studies in physics and astronomy to have at it. If the sun keeps pulsing 1 and 5 into the magnetosphere via layer Q4 and F4 that will pulse up 4 via each 4 days harmonic to Layer 9 or A4 which will then pulse to Layer 13 or C1. It’s not difficult.

Tone 12 is crystal which pulses up to cosmic Tone 13.
Extrapolating into the future, Solter worries that satellite debris could weaken Earth’s magnetic field–the same magnetic field that protects us from cosmic rays and solar storms.
Sierra Solter-NASA
I’m real popular on X.com posting stuff like this and actually all of my projects. NOT!
I appreciate NASA studying the issue though.
WILL MEGACONSTELLATIONS DAMAGE EARTH’S MAGNETIC FIELD? Something unprecedented is happening in Earth orbit. In only a few short years, the satellite population has skyrocketed, more than doubling since 2020. In the past year alone, more satellites have been launched than during the first thirty years of the Space Age. Much of this activity is driven by SpaceX and its growing megaconstellation of Starlink internet satellites.
Environmentalists have raised many concerns about Starlink including light-pollution of the night sky, a potentially hazardous traffic jam in low-Earth orbit, and even ozone depletion. Copycat megaconstellations by other companies and countries will only multiply these concerns.
Now there’s a new reason to worry. According to a new study by Sierra Solter, megaconstellations could alter and weaken Earth’s magnetic field.
Solter is a graduate student at the University of Iceland, working on her PhD in plasma physics. She recently realized something overlooked by many senior colleagues: “More than 500,000 satellites are expected in decades ahead, primarily to build internet megaconstellations. Every satellite that goes up will eventually come down, disintegrating in Earth’s atmosphere. This will create a massive layer of conducting, electrically charged particles around our planet.”
To understand the scale of the problem, consider the following: If you gathered up every charged particle in Earth’s Van Allen Belts, their combined mass would be only 0.00018 kg. Other components of the magnetosphere such as the ring current and plasmasphere are even less massive. For comparison, “the mass of a second generation Starlink satellite is 1250 kilograms, all of which will become conductive debris when the satellite is eventually de-orbited,” says Solter.
Metal debris from a single deorbited Starlink satellite is 7 million times more massive than the Van Allen Belts. An entire megaconstellation is billions of times more massive. These ratios point to a big problem.
“The space industry is adding enormous amounts of material to the magnetosphere in comparison to natural levels of particulate matter,” says Solter. “Due to the conductive nature of the satellite debris, this may perturb or change things.”
There is already evidence of this process in action. A 2023 study by researchers using a high-altitude NASA aircraft found that 10% of aerosols in the stratosphere contain aluminum and other metals from disintegrating satellites and rocket stages. These particles are drifting down from “the ablation zone” 70 to 80 km above Earth’s surface where meteors and satellites burn up.
Solter decided to look for changes in the electrical properties of the ablation zone–and she found something. A NASA model of the upper atmosphere shows a sharp increase in the “Debye Length” just where satellites break apart when they deorbit:
“Debye Length” is a number that tells researchers how far an unbalanced electrical charge can be felt in conducting plasmas. The fact that it changes abruptly in the same place satellites disintegrate may be significant.
Extrapolating into the future, Solter worries that satellite debris could weaken Earth’s magnetic field–the same magnetic field that protects us from cosmic rays and solar storms.
“It’s a textbook undergraduate physics problem,” she explains. “Suppose you put a conductive shell (satellite debris) around a spherical magnet (Earth). Outside the shell, the magnetic field goes to zero due to shielding effects. This is a highly simplified comparison, of course, but we might actually be doing this to our planet.”
Solter’s preliminary study appears to show that the space industry is indeed perturbing the environment. “It is very concerning,” she concludes. “We absolutely cannot dump endless amounts of conductive dust into the magnetosphere and not expect some kind of impact. Multidisciplinary studies of this pollution are urgently needed.”
For more information, you can read Solter’s original research here.
The ScR pulsed at 31 hertz on Tone1, which is high for this layer on every one of these days the same.

And Christmas Eve it stopped and plummeted.
So, even though the Tone changed for the day, Q4 stayed rooted at 31 hz, as though someone was holding it there. Skywalker wavespell started in there also. Its GForce is Blue Hand. Idk. Quite a phenom.
I will note it in my research to make sense of it.
Excel is telling me that the Midnight time reading is the highest 34.2% of the time. I noticed this empirically before I input data into Excel and blogged on it. The midnight time gate is the strongest, when we move from the Hidden Wisdom or subconscious mother/father programming into a NEW THEME, a new gateway for the kin. A kin is a DAY in time and A PERSON. Same thing.
The binary triplet configuration is embodied in both as the past CA, DNA strand and the future AC, DNA Strand, and the Axis of the eternal present or NOW column as brain and spinal cord. All together it’s the DNA double helix in every one of our trillion cells in each person’s body and all DNA on the planet. Your focused mind is your focused time and is not a joke. We need to pivot. Oh, and there is DNA in rocks.
Stunning low amplitudes compared to what they’ve been. Bottom dropped out. Our tones 5 and 6 frequency at F3 and F4 were the highest for the day, so this got naggy for humans. There is too much war-mongering going on.
These are hertz SOUND levels above the earth. The amps are at 12,000 miles up. All of these circle the entire globe WITH SOUND to affect our evolution.
I’m caught up on tracking the readings for all 12 layers of the ScR so I’ll give a shrot update here.
12/30/23- 6Asparagine symbolized as Blue 6 Rhythmic Monkey
The theme pulsed on F3, Tone 6 layer. It was consistently 20.14Hz all day.
The minor pulsars were A3 and Q3. A3 shot up to 20hz, the top of the range at Noon. Q3 shot up to the top of the range to 21hz at Dusk.
This was the day the app kept 62 on there as the amplitude in A1, the very top layer and left it there, even though it plummetted to 3 by dusk. Idk why they did that. Also notable was A2 at 40hz at noon
Once again the 4 FREQUENCY layers at the surface of the earth stayed UNIFORM level.
12/31/23- 7Glutamic Acid, Yellow 7 Resonant Human
Our theme was F2, Tone 7 and it stayed fairly level again on all 4 layers
The minor pulsars were A2 and Q2. A2 was up to 35.2hz at dawn and 25.2hz at noon. A3 was up to 20hz at Noon.
The Q2 tone 3 pulsar shot up to 17hz at Dusk and then Q4 supported going up to 29 at dusk. Q4 was 25hz at midnight.
Outer Radiation belt has 4 amplitude layers (supposedly 5 with Tone 13). Inner Radiation Belt has 4 frequency layers that hum in unison above the earth’s surface. The inner Earth radiation layers have 4 QFactor layers. So as you look at the picture, 3 x 4 = 12; Earth, Inner Outer. But actually 13 once we uplevel.
It ended with Yellow 13 Cosmic Human. This is what it sounded like. These are all hertz levels.
What the scientists call the 3rd upper belt I assess as the 13th upper layer. Russia tracks 12 already. It comes and goes. It’s not steady at all because our minds have not switched to cosmic time 13:20. Our minds are clenched by the nefarious elite church and state at 12:60. We have to ignore them for that 13th belt to appear regularly.
A5-A1 are 12,000 miles above Earth.
F1-F4 are right at earth level and tend to remain constant but always go into Alpha hz.
QFactor are deep inner earth and tend to go way up at night. Then at midnight the F1 layer goes way up into Alpha while we’re sleeping in Delta state.
This is evolution of Glutamic Acid in all of nature.
Also affecting the vibe is the NEW MOON, a new 4-day Harmonic, a new 13-day cycle.
For Today, Yellow 13 Human I saw a drastic drop in the Amplitude measurements from dusk to midnight, Russia time, 10 hz worth.
Frequencies were again remarkably uniform from dawn to midnight in all four layers. That’s so interesting to me that the collective mind closer to the surface of the earth is far more consistent than the very high amplitudes or the deep inner earth Q factors.
In the Q Factor layers I saw a big hertz level drop in the two top layers of inner earth, noon to midnight, consistent at Q3 and then a big 20 hz rise up to 31 hertz inQ4 layerat midnight.
That tells me that as the earth gears up for Magnetic Tone 1 tomorrow, the inner earth crystals ramp up to stimulate the frequency rise for the new 13-day cycle.
Again, our accurate coordinates for time on earth and in our local system is 13:20. Literally, mathematically, that is the time coordinate. Like a spaceship would be calibrated.
I’ve been tracking for five days, since 12/4/23. F3 is the ScR layer on the Frequency square and I think it pulses Rhythmic Tone 6 of the Tzolkin Psi Bank. It has remained almost the same at 20.20hz from Dawn to midnight all 5 days. We’ll see if it continues. The rest of the readings change.
This is the center layer of twelve tones being the sixth tone layer. Remember, if you watched the NASA videos, the scientists said that the very upper layer 3 (what they see) comes and goes. It isn’t always there and I surmise that is Tone 13, the cosmic tone. It disappears because most of the mindset frequency of earth does not pulse cosmically. People are still 12:60 clenched by “Time is Money” thinking and feeling.
It makes sense that ScR F3 layer, if it is Tone 6, would pulse 20.20hz, which it’s doing, to maintain the universal synchronicity of time because our MINDS and mechanical clocks persist in 12:60. So does our computer binary programming in all of our tools.
12:60 is divisible by 2 and 20 so it keeps a stable center point and an ongoing rhythm with the true time cycle 13:20. Even when the upper 3rd/13th Van Allen Belt disappears we keep the equilibrium of the planet with the sun. This will continue until the highest sentient creatures on earth wake up to the frequencies of the local universe.
That’s what I see. That’s the haps time travellers.
Keep meditating and loving your body and turn off the MSM News. It’s a sick vibe. Not what we need and not the truth, unless you want to leave the planet with millions of other humans. That’s the elite’s plan is to cull the species.
These big solar winds change our bodies, brains, the earth, and time.
GEOMAGNETIC STORM WATCH (G2): Earth’s magnetic field is about to receive a double blow. First, on Dec. 4th, a high-speed stream of solar wind flowing from a coronal hole will arrive. Then, on Dec. 5th, an off-target CME could deliver a glancing blow. Their combined effect is expected to cause G1 (Minor) to G2-class (Moderate) geomagnetic storms with photographic auroras at mid-latitudes. Aurora alerts:SMS Text
A HOLE IN THE SUN’S ATMOSPHERE: A huge hole has opened in the sun’s atmosphere, and it spewing a stream of solar wind directly toward Earth. NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory photographed the structure, which stretches almost 800,00 km along its long axis:
This is a coronal hole–a region in the sun’s atmosphere where magnetic fields have opened up, allowing solar wind to escape. The hole looks dark because hot glowing gas normally contained there is missing. The gaseous material is on its way to Earth.
The solar wind is due to arrive Dec. 4th or 5th. Together with a glancing-blow CME, also en route, it could spark G1 (Minor) to G2-class (Moderate) geomagnetic storms. Aurora alerts:SMS Text
Cosmic Rays in the Atmosphere
SPACE WEATHER BALLOON DATA: Almost once a week, Spaceweather.com and the students of Earth to Sky Calculus fly space weather balloons to the stratosphere over California. These balloons are equipped with sensors that detect secondary cosmic rays, a form of radiation from space that can penetrate all the way down to Earth’s surface. Our monitoring program has been underway without interruption for 7 years, resulting in a unique dataset of in situ atmospheric measurements.
Latest results (July 2022): Atmospheric radiation is decreasing in 2022. Our latest measurements in July 2022 registered a 6-year low:
What’s going on? Ironically, the radiation drop is caused by increasing solar activity. Solar Cycle 25 has roared to life faster than forecasters expected. The sun’s strengthening and increasingly tangled magnetic field repels cosmic rays from deep space. In addition, solar coronal mass ejections (CMEs) sweep aside cosmic rays, causing sharp reductions called “Forbush Decreases.” The two effects blend together to bring daily radiation levels down.
Who cares? Cosmic rays are a surprisingly “down to Earth” form of space weather. They can alter the chemistry of the atmosphere, trigger lightning, and penetrate commercial airplanes. According to a study from the Harvard T.H. Chan school of public health, crews of aircraft have higher rates of cancer than the general population. The researchers listed cosmic rays, irregular sleep habits, and chemical contaminants as leading risk factors. A number of controversial studies (#1, #2, #3, #4) go even further, linking cosmic rays with cardiac arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death.
Technical notes: The radiation sensors onboard our helium balloons detect X-rays and gamma-rays in the energy range 10 keV to 20 MeV. These energies span the range of medical X-ray machines and airport security scanners.
Data points in the graph labeled “Stratospheric Radiation” correspond to the peak of the Regener-Pfotzer maximum, which lies about 67,000 feet above central California. When cosmic rays crash into Earth’s atmosphere, they produce a spray of secondary particles that is most intense at the entrance to the stratosphere. Physicists Eric Regener and Georg Pfotzer discovered the maximum using balloons in the 1930s and it is what we are measuring today.
