Volcanic Eruptions and the “Dim Period”

Volcanic Activity

We mentioned to you earlier today that the level of volcanic activity around the globe is about to increase really quite dramatically.

It’s been fairly quiet for quite a while now. Of course there are always the fairly low-key and localised eruptions which are taking place, and these are well documented, but it is the large scale eruptions which are about to occur that will really grab the headlines.

We don’t want to over-dramatise the situation but the time is now right for these volcanic events to take place.

We’ve already mentioned one which is on the island of Iceland. In a short while we confidently predict that there will be at least one of these types of eruption taking place on most of the significant land masses of the world. So most of the large continents of the world will have at least one of these massive eruptions taking place.

It will come as no surprise that these eruptions will not be short-lived; they will continue for an extended period and probably the most important effect will be to pour enormous quantities of ash into the atmosphere.

You’ve seen eruptions on this scale in the last few years, and you’ve seen the disruption that they cause, and of course this will be attendant with these coming events, but it will be the volume of ash; it will be the extended period of the eruption; and it will be the combined effect of these eruptions and others which will follow, that will catch the attention of the world media.

Because this is not going to be a short-lived event; this is not going to be over as quickly as more recent eruptions of this scale. These are going to run and run, and the ash which they produce will be held in the upper atmosphere for an extended period of time, and the volume of ash will build.

So as you can see very quickly it’s going to become apparent that this is a combined sequence of very large eruptive events that have a rather sinister aspect to them.

There will be an enormous amount of conjecture and speculation about how and why and what this is to do with and so on and so forth, most of which will be just that: speculation.

This will herald the start of the build of the ‘ash blanket’, which we have mentioned many times, and we have gone into the effects of this a number of times in previous documents. So we’d just like to say that now is the time – at last – for these events to commence.

So when this type of activity starts to happen do not be too alarmed; we will come back and pass a lot more to you as and when.

Volcanic activity and its significance

We do want to make a brief comment about timing of such events as they are all but upon you now. As you know we have no accurate means ourselves of predicting the timing of particular events, which has been the cause of some anxiety for you in the last few weeks as we are all aware.

Perhaps the most important of these geophysical events, from the point of view of their impact on climate and climate change, are volcanoes. The other events are extremely significant in themselves, but it is the nature of the volcanic activity which will rapidly precipitate elements of climate change which have hitherto not been anticipated at all.

In fact it is not fair to criticise anybody on this point as anticipation of the effects from these events is well nigh impossible. This has all to do with the enormous amounts of material which will be emitted from volcanoes, and a number of large eruptions will occur within a relatively short period of time causing enormous volumes of material to move into the atmosphere.

The effect of this material, as you’ve been told on a number of occasions, will not be to cool the surface of the planet, in the way one might expect, but quite the opposite; it will cause a rapid increase in global temperatures, which as you know will have a detrimental effect in a number of ways; probably the most dramatic of which is ice melt.

This steep increase in temperature will cause a rapid discharging of most of the global ice reserves; high level glaciers and the like; which will have very significant effects; not least with regards to sea level rise.

The other effect which has not been mentioned to this point will be a masking of the sun’s rays from the earth’s surface. Ash will effectively block a large quantity of light energy which will have a very damaging effect on the ability of plants to photosynthesise. This has far reaching consequences with regard to harvests and food supply generally. Indeed, as you have heard mentioned by a friend of yours, there will be a period during which growth of vegetation on earth will be severely restricted.

So, as you can see, the volcanic activity, which is but one part of all the geophysical activity that is soon to occur, will have far reaching effects; many of which will not have been able to be predicted

More information about the ‘dim period’

This is a very interesting topic because aspects of it really are counter intuitive.

As we’ve explained to you before it will be a set of circumstances which will extend over a period of maybe two or three growing seasons, and it will have some quite surprising knock-on effects.

If we cycle back to the start; it should be borne in mind that essentially the beginning of these upheavals is now upon you. It should also be understood that this will be a gradual build. It will be a very slow build up in activity; things are not going to happen at an alarming rate, certainly not at the outset.

There will come a time when there is a very great level of activity occurring at many different locations around the globe; but there will be a gradual build to this high level of activity. It should also be noted that there will be no enormous cataclysmic event if you like which dominates the situation. There will be a whole series of lower level events which when added together will cause a very serious situation.

So the volcanic sequence of activity. Again this will build slowly and there will be a number of eruptions over a period of time which run as it were simultaneously. So volcanoes will erupt; they will emit ash; they will cause considerable disruption locally; they will begin to pour fine ash into the upper atmosphere. It will be a situation entirely similar to that which was witnessed earlier in Iceland. Everyone is keenly aware of the impact that that had over just a very short period of time.

Well imagine that this happens but it doesn’t just happen in one location; it happens in a number of locations around the globe and all of these volcanoes are pushing very fine ash up into the upper atmosphere.

This ash, which we have described to you as a blanket, will eventually wrap itself around the globe. It’s at a very high level; it will cause very little disturbance at ground level. Obviously there will be enormous disruption to international air travel, but in addition to this there will be knock-on effects which many of your scientists will find baffling.

The two most important of these will be the reduction in the intensity of the sunlight which is able to reach the surface of the Earth; this will have serious repercussions regarding photosynthesis as you know. The other is the extremely counter-intuitive situation where the blanket of ash wrapped around the globe, even at this high level, has the effect of trapping the warmth within it, which will have the effect of causing a rise in global temperatures much more quickly than is expected.

Now we don’t want people to go away with the idea that there is going to be a sudden serious leap in global temperature: there is not. Again we are talking about fine degrees of increase here rather than a sudden leap. And bear in mind that the ash blanket will come together over a period of time. None of these effects is going to happen overnight.

So you have the situation where the warming – the trapping of the Earth’s heat and the warming – will have a serious effect certainly on the high level ice reserves, all of which will discharge much more quickly than your scientists currently expect, with quite a considerable impact on sea level. This will affect a great number of people who are living at or around sea level across the globe.

To return to the effect on sunlight being able to reach the surface of the planet: this again is degrees of change. It is not such that one day there will be any event at all similar to what is described as a “nuclear winter”. This is simply not going to happen and in fact at times it will be difficult to imagine that the fine ash particles in the upper atmosphere are causing any real detrimental effect to the intensity of sunlight at all: but this will be the case, because it doesn’t take much of an alteration to the intensity of sunlight for vegetation to be quite seriously effected.

The intensity, thickness and blocking effect of the ash will vary; it will not be a uniform effect. Of course you have the pattern of the winds around the globe which will carry the ash – it will shift and reshape. All the while more fine ash will be pumped into the atmosphere.

So imagine all of these circumstances are occurring simultaneously. It will be a constantly shifting pattern. But there will be a severe impact on the ability of certain types of vegetative material to photosynthesise; to use sunlight to produce the sugars and to grow in the way that they would normally do.

So we would like to stress again that the dim period will not suddenly occur: none of the changes are going to occur in this way. There will be a gradual build up of volcanic activity which will pump more and more very fine ash into the atmosphere, and you will have a situation similar to that which applied recently in Iceland, but it will occur at many locations around the planet. Trapping warmth, which impacts ice melt, and blocking sunlight which has an adverse effect on the ability of plants to photosynthesise.

But as to whether the planet will still have sunny days – well yes it absolutely will, but there will be some very strange atmospheric effects; there will be times when the sunlight is very much obscured. This will continue over an extended period of time, as we say maybe two or three growing seasons.

Plant types that will do well in reduced light

We come to you this evening with an answer to the question about which types of vegetable will fare best in the dim period which the Earth is soon to experience.

Firstly it needs to be made very clear that not all types of plant or vegetable will respond in the same way to the lack of sunlight due to the cloud of high-level volcanic ash.

So whilst there will be shortages of certain types of foods, these will be able to be made up with a focus of attention on those types of plants which will weather this condition better

Those types of staple foods which are derived from 'ancient grasses' i.e. rice, wheat and the like will fair badly; these crop types will produce very poor yields. That said, the genetically modified varieties of these crops will be less affected and it would make sense to switch to these types; we are aware that this will be a highly contentious decision as a lot of suspicion still surrounds the whole area of GM.

The one type of cereal which will fair surprisingly well is oats. we are not able to offer an explanation of this in simple terms; suffice to say that this plant type will deliver good yields.

The one group of vegetables which will suffer very little ill effect during this difficult period will be root crops. In very simple terms there is a link here to fact that there exists no need to 'ripen' these types of food, which is very much the case with those derived from grasses, and so root crops and in particular the potato will go a long way to filling the gap which will be caused by the problems experienced with other staple foods.

And finally a word about trees. Broad-leafed trees will suffer far more than narrow-leafed conifer types. This means that fruit trees for example will be hard hit. it should be noted however that trees will respond to this period as if it were an extended winter period: species will not go extinct over this period as it is too short: they will simply enter an extended dormant period.

More information on climate change

So to look again at the impact of the geophysical upheavals: one of the main aspects of this as you know is the production, through a large number of volcanoes erupting simultaneously, of a blanket of ash which will hang in the upper atmosphere. It will not pollute the lower levels; it will not cause respiratory problems to any great degree; but it will affect the ability of the sun’s rays, the sun’s warmth, to reach the Earth. This will have very serious effects on the ability of certain types of vegetable matter to grow, to photosynthesise, as you know.

Also, the counter – intuitive effect which we’ve mentioned before, will be one of trapping the heat of the earth in the lower atmosphere. Many of your readers may think that the majority of the warmth of the Earth is received from without: this is not the case. A great amount of warmth is produced internally and released by the Earth. This will become trapped and this will have a very interesting effect because it will speed up what is being called global warming (a phrase we never refer to as you know): it will speed up the warming effect.

So it will have a major impact for example on ice reserves. Now we may have indicated to you in one of the early papers, that all traces of ice will be removed across the globe. Well this is no longer the case: this is not the case. Certainly it will not be the case for Antarctica. However high level reserves, glacial based, such as those found in mountain ranges like the Himalayas, Andes and Alps and so on; these will all be much more rapidly depleted than science at present believes. Science has no way of anticipating the warming which will result from the blanket of ash which will wrap itself around the globe. So without this input to their modelling, there isn’t any way that they could anticipate the increased speed at which these high level reserves, and many other reserves of ice, will disappear.

This of course will have a major effect on sea levels, which will rise considerably, but it will also have a very important impact regarding the ice melt which feeds river systems which enable man to actually inhabit certain areas of the globe. These river systems will over a relatively short period of time, become severely depleted and will be unable to provide the water and the silt – mineral deposits and the like – which make life in certain parts of the world tenable. This in particular as we’ve mentioned before will be what occurs in India, which is to a great extent “kept alive” by the ice melt of the high Himalayan glaciers.

So as you can see it is a complicated scenario which is being played out. It is not a random sequence of events; as you are well aware it is highly planned. This of course is one of the most contentious aspects of these documents we deliver to you: to try to get across to your readership that the events that are unfolding before them are not simply a random sequence of activity around the globe, but are a highly planned and organised sequence of actions.

The Dim Period

Anybody who is reading this document, and visiting your site regularly, already has a far greater awareness of what is coming, than the ordinary man on the street.

There are unfortunately only very few people who have managed to arrive at this level of knowledge. We would ask that all of your readers not only make themselves fully aware of the contents of other documents of yours, but also start to try to influence others.

This will be difficult; some will reject it out of hand. But now is the time, because there is little time left.

So, we’ve come to talk about the Dim Period, but what we would like to say most categorically at the outset is that this is not the end; it is the end of an era. This is a period of change. It’s going to be uncomfortable and unpalatable, but it is simply a transition period.

You know why this has to happen. This is documented in detail on the page. It’s not going to stop, and you can’t influence it. But what you can do is inform people, and mitigate the consequences.

So just briefly the Dim Period. This is not akin to a nuclear winter. It doesn’t mean that the planet will suddenly go dark; this is drama and fiction. There will be before long a good number of volcanoes that are spewing ash into the atmosphere. This much you all know if you’ve read the material.

This will form a cloud, high up in the atmosphere above the Earth. But it won’t be dense, it won’t block out the light, but it will reduce the intensity of sunlight. It may seem dim; hence the phrase ‘Dim Period’.

Bear in mind this period of reduced light is probably no more than three growing seasons, so three to four years in all.

This is a necessary consequence of the changes, the upheavals, which are restructuring climate zones and so on. There is too much detail to cover regarding what is actually happening. Suffice to say that this will probably be one of the most worrying aspects that human beings will have to cope with, because not only will it bother people that such things are happening, but it will influence greatly mankind’s ability to feed itself.

There will be shortage. There doesn’t need to be shortage by the way, but there will be because there already is a system of structural food shortage on the planet. This is one of the things that the ‘new era’, will address. But there will be food shortage, and a lot of fear and upset caused by the physical manifestation of this cloud of ash.

So what we would say, just to come back to our initial point once again, is that this whole series of changes will come completely out of the blue for the vast majority of people. You, the reader, can help with that.

Understand that once these changes start they will run alongside each other. It’s very important that the fear amongst many on the planet is reduced as much as possible, and that can only be done through information, guidance and sharing knowledge.

Expanded Explanation

The recent post there titled The Dim Period discusses what's been informed both there & ere already, some time & years ago. An expanded, refresher explanation is in order. Avoiding the Q&A format, I ask #thehighersources to explain here.

"Volcanic eruptions, as concerning and frightening as they seem, are not seriously dangerous beyond the immediate area. The size of this area varies, depending very much on the nature of the eruption; significant ejections of hot and poisonous volcanic gas greatly expand the risky zone, lesser amounts of such gases will cool and dissipate before reaching significant plant and animal life, such that a catastrophic threat if often avoided. Molten rock flow, even faster mudflows caused by suddenly melted ice and snow and airborne ash, are the principal risks. The heavier ash and particles will fall sooner and closer, risking health if breathed and damage to machines and engines. Aircraft cannot travel through ash clouds without serious engine & motor damage. An eruption event is often complete in short order, one to several days but damage effects can be longer, sometimes permanent.

What will occur soon across Earth will be eruptions in sufficiently close intervals which also spew significant quantities of lighter ash rising to high altitudes and remaining aloft in materially dense volumes for many months, more than forty to nearly fifty. This means more than three to about four years. "The ash will rise to high altitude because of the high amount of hot volcanic gas which ejects it. This occurs with every eruption, but the soon-to-occur events will be vigorous and long lasting, often persisting for many hours and even across two and three days, before calming down again. "The lighter ash will be carried, propelled is a fair description, to higher than typical altitudes than seen in recent decades. For one eruption or two, this would not be meaningful; it would not make a difference to the majority of mankind. "Volcanoes will erupt and another will erupt and so on, the events carrying on for enough time to produce an ash cloud and layer at higher altitude; this ash cloud layer will grow to sufficient size as to spread above nearly all of Earth's surface.

"Two direct physical effects will be seen, felt and experienced.

 Reduced sunlight reaching the surface  Increases in atmospheric temperatures.

The first of these is obvious and requires little explanation, although we shall describe the effects briefly. The thickness of the ash cloud will be almost even around the globe, and its consistency also. Heaver ash will sink faster, the lighter amounts will not, dissipating not for many, many months as we have mentioned above. The amount and volume of ash ejected are the reason and cause. The eruptions will be quite spectacular and will sometimes occur in places where humans did not believe a volcano existed, other times at existing, known, predictable expected volcanic formations, often mountains. 'Sunlight at the end and start of each day passes through a larger amount of atmosphere, which causes the yellow to orange then reddish colors. The ash cloud will reduce surface sunlight intensity sooner in the afternoon and permit increased intensity later in the morning. "As Earth revolves about the sun, your central star, with a tilted axis different regions have less then more direct sunlight, causing temperature changes and seasons, except close to the equator where the directness varies little and not enough for seasonal temperature swings.

The reduced sunlight will affect plant growth, including those grown for crops as food. Many trees will go dormant, and some will perish because the light required for photosynthesis will be insufficient. Many crops will grow more poorly and yield less or dismal amounts of edible food, when compared to now. This will directly affect livestock, milk, cheese and derived product production such as eggs. "Other crops however, will be either unaffected or assisted somewhat, and these should be emphasized. This will take some time for growers to realize and adjust, where climate and soil permit. In many cases they will. "Food habits are solidly ingrained and meet mental resistance when changed against the will of the eater. “ Bottlenecks and shortages of foods will occur in many places, some adjustments will never be achieved during the dim phase. Consumption habits forced altered will be perceived as punishment. If any of you have witnessed cigarettes removed from a person dependent on nicotine, coffee reduced or taken away from a many cup per day drinker or alcoholic drinks suspended for a an alcoholic, you can understand from that a sampling of some reactions widely broadcast.

Surface temperatures will rise with the predictable, expected effects. Even at the poles, daytime temperatures in the sunlight months will climb above freezing for many days continuously. Mountain glaciers will recede, some will disappear and polar ice caps shall shrink.

Rising sea levels and more importantly, higher tides will occur. This will not harm or end human life, the rising sea levels will happen much more slowly than humans can leave the areas, however physical structures, infra- and of all types, will be surrounded by water and flooded. "Humidity overall will rise because of the higher heat, especially in areas now considered drier to arid. Places which often have higher humidity already will not experience much if any change, this being more prevalent in a traditionally arid climate. "Precipitation will increase naturally, and this will somewhat assist plant and crop growth, providing some counterbalance to decreases in plants and crops because of reduced photosynthesis.

The rise in surface temperatures will not follow the initially expected drop. The increases will occur despite reduced sunlight surface heating and cooling, which occurs each day and night, because more heat will be trapped by the atmospheric ash, altering the equilibriums currently normal. Equatorial regions will experience little if any change, however the closer to the poles one moves, the more pronounced shall be the effects. "It will become ironically obvious how the cries and clamor over global warming and climate change were not the result of human activity or carbon dioxide, although initially complaints about this will be offered, as volcanic eruptions go on, these events introducing massive quantities of this gas into the atmosphere. Soon however it will become obvious that this is not the case.

Heat will rise, will be slowed by the ash layer and move horizontally. The rising warm air below the horizontally moving warmer air will not rise as far, the reduced sunlight surface heating notwithstanding. Eventually and over not much time, surface temperatures will remain consistently warmer than expected or ever seen in many places.

Some humans will scream how biblical prophecy is manifested, that the end of mankind is nigh. This is not what is happening. "A new phase dawns. As has become the human custom since worldwide communications grew, now more so than ever as information movement reached current capabilities, s/he who screams the loudest receives more attention. This habit will be attempted continued, as patterns & habits broken will cause a great screaming across the land by just a few very outspoken few.

Other changes are coming, as a result of the solar energies triggering the eruptions and effects we have discussed here. "What is lost will be little compared to that you shall all gain, seeming to be a massive discount when reflection is made; as if it is the greatest bargain life might have ever offered, will it feel to be. Strongest will this be felt by those among you most strongly disagree, doubting the forced changes now foreseen.

These events cannot be controlled, influenced or lessened. Human control lies entirely with reaction, and for this we the information offer.

You should inform others if you believe they will be receptive enough to absorb then use the information to reduce their fears, concerns, worries and unsettled feelings. If you believe they will reject the information, set aside YOUR discomfort about being rejected to focus on THEIR rejection; simply avoid the topic with them and tell another. They have chosen to learn of, about and to deal with what occurs, on their own.

Effects of The Shift ~ Part One

The Events of The Shift have already started and our journey towards the New Age has commenced. One of the key events of The Shift is worldwide volcanic ash eruption for a prolonged period of time. The effects of the ash in the upper atmosphere will be seen in a few years. Contrary to the expected global cooling, it will cause rapid global warming (reasons explained) and the meltdown of ice and glaciers will create the effects in this decade itself which the scientists had been anticipating to happen only in the next 50-100 years. Along with the other simultaneous key events, this will cause a dramatic change in the world which the mankind is unable to anticipate now
