Thus far, we have witnessed electricity, no matter what it’s source, as precisely the same commodity whether as released from storm clouds; or as occasionally utilized for warming toes on a cold winter’s night, or as the power of life itself, issuing upon command from the cranial cortex, thereby giving the authority to live out our respective lives, according to choice.
We have also witnessed that both heat and light, as naturally occurring evidences of electricity rather than by-products of it’s usage, always travel together within the power source, and that neither is generated nor created, but merely utilized as released from within the electrical current itself. Naturally, the scales will change for each requirement of this amazing energy supply, yet it is regardless, a fundamentally proportionate entity.
Now, as diligent witnesses to the greater ‘What Is’ (YAHWEH), we have yet another exciting dot to join into this emerging glorious artwork tapestry of the natural realm of our existence. Indeed this particular slice of the puzzle is far and away the premium dot to be recognized and connected thus far.
Many would argue that the true pinnacle observation here, is essentially one of our previous observations, being the amazing power source that pulses incessantly from between the respective hemispheres of our brain, to every extremity of our flesh, providing everything we generally consider ‘life’; being movement, sensation, warmth, feeling, thought, memory. Now, I would not dream of arguing this point, for I entirely agree, on the level that this is the crowning glory of Creation itself. However, what we are about to add to our witness, is something at the other extremity; being just as awesome, yet in an substantially contrasting manner.
Added to the natural sources of electricity already observed, is another that simply dwarfs everything we have so far been witness to. Scientists will now explain that the most voluminous source of electrical energy this planet has ever dealt with, and on a day by day basis at that; is its own sun. So whilst most people associate our day star with the rays of light and warmth rather than electricity, nevertheless it is from this source that the earth constantly receives enormous volumes of radiated electrical discharge.
As science is yet to join the dots of our witnessing, it is unlikely to have commenced work on the relevant calculations associated with many of the observations pertaining to this this blog as such; even so, it is reasonably safe for us to assume a few particulars, such as they are. Especially included here must be the natural immutable laws of "What Is", which will certainly indicate a precise relationship between the levels of electrical energy and the heat conveyed by it, as being assuredly in a very exact ratio. The more voltage, the higher level of inherent heat it will be carrying.
Therefore, as scientists have estimated a single bolt of lightning as carrying a level of heat "hotter than the surface of the sun", we are reasonably safe to assume that it also carries with it a similar level of voltage as released by the sun in a similar time frame. As the lifetime of a discharge of lightning has been estimated at around 1,000,000th of a second; this would further, by a relatively imprecise mathematical observation indicate, that the sun is producing comparatively exponential levels of electrical energy at any time. By any definition, deadly in the extreme.
So the obvious first question is; 'why is it, we are not all incinerated immediately upon venturing outdoors'?The answer to this question is not so simply explained, as there exists many and varied mechanisms that work in conjunction in the fine control of our environmental envelope, providing, as it has for at least many millennia; the free of charge, finely detailed protection, such as we require in order to continue enjoying our exquisitely designed planetary paradise. Let’s briefly examine some of these major protections, such that we are presently cognizant of.
Firstly, even though incoming levels of radiation may be terribly alarming, yet the majority of the energy and heat being produced by the sun at any moment, is dissipated in entirely different directions, than towards our planet. Therefore only a relative percentage of it is at any time our concern. Nevertheless it constantly remains a patently deadly threat.
By the same token, whereas the electrical voltage and heat from within lightning is enormous, it is instantaneous, reasonably rare and localized, however the energy discharge from the sun that actually achieves it’s task of reaching the surface of planet Earth, while it is exponentially more voluminous, and constant, is nevertheless spread over half the face of the globe, and only for half the day at a time, allowing an equal intermittent period of rest.
Secondly, and most likely the essential reason that we are not instantly fried into blackened charcoal crispies whenever we venture outdoors, is that the majority of the emitted radiation from the sun's activity, having been sent on it’s course towards our planetary home, doesn’t so much as get to the earth’s upper atmosphere in the first place.
Indeed, our earth has a most amazing naturally occurring protective shield surrounding it, which in fact seems to have two exceptionally thick layers to it. The lower layer being approx 3000km deep, and the upper approx 10,000km deep, was first discovered by physicist James Alfred Van Allen just 49 years ago, and is now known as the Van Allen Radiation Belt.

Furthermore, without this shield to protect us, we would not even need to venture outdoors before becoming irradiated to dust, for the levels of radiation would be more than sufficiently deadly anywhere we tried to hide, unless we all constructed thick walled lead boxes to live out our lives within. Now that would be some kind of living, I suspect.
This protective belt is so highly charged with extreme amounts of radiated electrical energy, as captured whilst in transit towards planet earth, that it in fact makes the entire region an utterly deadly proposition for any human being to venture near, which is the very reason that even if man had (which in itself is impossible) sufficient capability 40 years ago to reach the moon, he would necessarily have had to travel through this region with it’s intense radiation for up to a week on each leg of the journey. Consequently, every piece of electronics on board would have fried, and he turned into toast within minutes. But let’s not permit Zootsoup too much latitude for digression here.
Thirdly, as we all know from basic science as taught virtually to kindergarten these days; the earth’s upper atmosphere deflects, reflects and absorbs much of the light and heat that radiates our way from the sun before reaching the level of the earth’s surface, and in so doing, the electricity which is in combination with the heat and illumination, is likewise dealt with in the process. Atmospheric aspects to be considered under this particular umbrella then, are the oft mentioned Ozone Layer, and the millions of tonnes of water vapor suspended within the enveloped air, referred to as humidity.
Finally, another major aspect that must not be overlooked, is that more than half of the globe is covered by deep wells of water, which not only absorbs the majority of the radiated results from the sun's activity that succeed at reaching sea level, but also provide a significant and ongoing refreshing to every aspect of the planet's surface, life and comfort.
Therefore, we can easily conclude that we enjoy a great many exquisite and precise systems of environmental protection, all working in unison down to the finest detail, in the task of regulating and safeguarding our planetary home from becoming an unrelenting white hot humidicrib, thereby systematically toasting every living thing within seconds to an unloved flake of insignificant charcoal.
I personally find it interesting, distressing and tragic, all in one, to note that we may offer a word or two of general thanks to the designer of, for example, a new improved and dirt cheap toaster, produced in order to simultaneously lightly brown both faces of many slices of bread. In fact, such a man may well be regarded worthy of the Nobel Peace Prize for humanitarian advancement, due his ground breaking contributions to the amelioration of man’s early morning dietary needs; and such may be appropriate.
On the other hand, the infinitely more wondrous, breathtakingly adaptable, incredibly bounteous, supremely fashioned, majestic planetary environment, we all call our only home; which has continually sustained each and every thankless one of us as it does, day after day, year after year, millennium after millennium in the immeasurably detailed comfort of one awesome free humidicrib, such as we have become accustomed; to the point of being so dismissive, as to now regard it as some kind of ‘accident’ of chance.
Such is the delinquent road so many imperious ‘scientists’ design for us to tread. My personal opinion is that they are arrogant in the extreme to so much as use the honorable term ‘scientist’ to define themselves. For they are indeed extremist religionists in their determined doctrines of dilapidated faith. Can there possibly be a more tragic indictment on the distinctly nefarious and shameful depths our arrogance has actually taken us? For it seems to me, that our witnessing, in this instance, is of an astonishingly thankless and narcissistic disrespect. And we somehow have the audacious temerity of looking backwards into ‘pre-history’ in order to define previous inhabitants of our planetary home as ‘stone age’, compared of course, to our ‘technologically advanced’ puffed-up contemptuous repose.
Question: Why wouldn't pontifical folk such as Mr. Gore prefer us to look after our honorable and authentic task of being thankfully obedient for that which we have, and continue to enjoy?
Answer: There's no wealth or Nobel prizes to be gained that side of the fence.
Wake up, wake up!
Would these same 'scientists' ever consider having the sheer audacity to cite the humble humidicrib he might find resting in the post natal ward of any hospital, giving as it does; the life nurturing environmental requirements for prolonging the existence of a single premature infant, and from there proclaim with an obvious abject haughtiness; “This thing is simply the freakish result of an accident of some millenniums old mud pit”? How ridiculous he would look, and who would ever again take him seriously? Indeed, the designer would be fully within his lawful and moral rights to sue the bastard for every cent he will ever own for such outrageous slander and disregard.
However, it seems the billions of us, who constantly take advantage of the results of a far SUPERIOR DESIGNER of a humidicrib on an exceedingly grander scale (as above), seem to; from within all the avaricious pride we can muster, entirely disregard even the slightest recognition of this same Designer and CREATOR, in favor it seems, of some fanciful primeval happenstance.
Clearly, we have indeed reached a pitiful level of squalid wretchedness in our history, where we elevate man made morsels of expensive but transient wizz-bangedry to 'wonderful', whilst diminishing our gift of a one-off, awesome home of supreme perfection, to some level below that of an ink blot. For even an accidental ink blot had some level of intelligence behind it.
As I see it; we are distastefully inert to the point of being practically comatose in our determination to continue the boorishly petulant denial of the existence of a loving and generous Hand over our planetary humidicrib.
We would do well to recall a little of the respect and thankfullness of some of our forebears; who it seems, had far less problem of a cultural cringe nature, in their non-religious proclamations, as rightly due the authenticity of our very own wondrously conceived and maintained paradise; and especially as continually blessed as it is, by ‘What Is’ (YAHWEH).
Periodic Note: Nowhere in this or any post on this blog, is the religious notion of 'god' mentioned or implied, except as according to the (universally misunderstood) erroneous pagan concept to which the world seeks to adhere. Indeed, the non-religious 'What Is'/'CREATOR'/'YAHWEH', as deferred to throughout this blog, certainly has NOTHING to do with the fictitious 'god', nor 'Jesus'.
