Update 12/23/2012: Earth has now crossed the galactic plane.
Some people say “nothing happened.” Maybe that’s true for them. As the Zen monks have said, “Before enlightenment, chop wood and carry water; after enlightenment, chop wood and carry water.” (In other words, before and after our perception has shifted, even if we become enlightened, we still care for our bodies, we still have chores. Enlightenment is in our consciousness, not somewhere “out there”.)
It’s rather unfortunate that this article and video are based on a common misconception. The earth is not passing through the galactic plane at this time, we are millions of years from that at the moment. There’s a theory that we are passing through a “photon belt” being generated by our sun’s companion star, but hard evidence of that is rare and riddled with controversy (perhaps suppressed?).
This posting represents something significant, I think, that we need to research things carefully instead of just hearing something in passing, taking it as valid, and then running with it, to the point of making videos about it even. Craziness. I hope the creator of this video has or will learn a valuable lesson from this mistake.
Thanks, Sir Chuckles. G
