Gigantic Jet and Red Sprite, Taken by Frankie Lucena, August 13, 2026, Cabo Rojo, Puerto Rico
A Relationship Between the Earth and the Sun
If lightning and thunderstorms on Earth can trigger Solar Storms, there’s evidence of a Relationship. Our Brightest Star is the Source of Light that multiplies Life to Abundance. The Sun is the single-most-available Source of Purification. Though we use it every day, as a whole, we are less consciousness of the Sun’s Power to Purify.
This Power has been revered across ancient cultures from from Egyptian rituals honoring Ra to Ayurvedic practitioners who create Surya Jal (sun water). Modern science validates this power.
The Sun’s Ultraviolet (UV) radiation and thermal energy destroys pathogens, eliminates stains, and sanitizes surfaces. Solar Water Disinfection (SODIS) is a viable, low-cost water treatment method. Infrared Heat pasteurizes water by raising temperatures to levels lethal to microorganisms.
The faces of the flowers follow the Sun as it crosses the Sky. So are Human eyes attracted to the Light. We still have a lot to learn about the Geomagnetic Forces of Attraction between the Sun and Earth.
OPPOSITE LIGHTNING AMONG THE PERSEIDS: It’s rare to catch even one Transient Luminous Event (TLE) photobombing a meteor shower. On Aug. 13th, Frankie Lucena caught two.
These Transient Luminous Events (TLE) happened after a Solar Eclipse, August 12, 2026. After the darkness of totality, Lightning on Earth leapt beyond the clouds toward the Sun.
At the Equinox, the magnetic poles are aligned between the Sun and the Earth. These times were revered by the Maya. The Calendar pyramid at Chichen Itza was positioned to mark the Time when the Light of the Feathered Serpent, descends the stairs.
Many sacred sites are aligned to mark the Time of the Sun’s celestial events. The reason for such monumental signs is still a mystery.
Photobombing the Perseids Meteor Shower
“I was photographing the Perseids from Cabo Rojo, Puerto Rico, when a Gigantic Jet appeared with a sprite right beside it,” says Lucena. “They came from a powerful thunderstorm due south of the island.”
This is weird because Gigantic Jets and sprites are created by opposite physics. Gigantic Jets are a type of lightning that emerges from the top of an electrical storm. To escape the thundercloud, it has to punch through an overhanging wall of opposing charge.
Red sprites, on the other hand, are caused by lightning striking the ground.
“I found a -144 kA stroke associated with this event in the Vaisala Xweather Lightning data,” says Lucena. (That’s 5 times stronger than a typical stroke.)
When such a powerful bolt hits, it suddenly removes a large amount of the storm’s electric charge. For a few thousandths of a second, a strong electric field appears in the sky above the storm. Fifty miles up, the air is so thin it breaks down and glows red–a sprite.
Catching both in one frame means the same storm system, in the same split second, produced two rare events that require completely different conditions. Well done, Frankie!

POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SUNSPOT: Sunspot 4513 has developed a ‘beta-gamma-delta’ magnetic field that harbors energy for X-class solar flares. Unlike Thursday’s M8-class flare, which missed Earth, future flares will not miss. We’re in the strike zone now.
Mayan Calendar Time and Synchronicity
Beta, gamma, and delta are the second, third, and fourth letters of the Greek Alphabet, coming right after alpha. Derived from Phoenician trading symbols, their literal names evolved from words like beth (house), gimel (camel), and daleth (door). The Lion’s Gate is a portal of alignment when the Earth stands in closest alignment with its geographical poles at a 23-degree angle, while the Earth resides in its farthest distance from the Sun (Aphelion).
The word aphelion comes from two ancient Greek words: apo, meaning “away from” or “off,” and helios, meaning “the sun”. Together, it translates literally to “away from the sun” and describes the point in an orbit where a planet or comet is farthest from the sun. (Source: The SAO Encyclopedia of Astronomy)
At the Equinox, the Earth is drawn into alignment with the Sun’s Poles of Attraction. During the Jewish month of Elul, “the King is in the Field.” Our hearts are being drawn by the Light to Humble our Self in preparation for a New Year on Earth. We’re returning to the Light of Perhelion. The Time by the Christian calendar is the Day of Epiphany, after a New Birth of the Son.
Earth’s perihelion occurs after sundown in the Western World on Saturday, January 2, 2027. Though the Day of Epiphany is January 6, it is celebrated on Sunday, January 3, 2027 — the same Day by the hours of Jewish Time.
Google says: These two January events are completely unrelated, connecting a Christian holiday to an orbital mechanics milestone.
Synchronicity is defined as the occurrence of two or more meaningful coincidences that happen at the same time and seem to be connected, even though they have no logical or direct cause-and-effect link.
The Lord reveals himself through the synchronicity of Time. Synchronicity raises questions, “Was it a coincidence? Or were we directed there to see a Power Greater than our Self?”
Faith tells us it’s the evidence of a Divine Relationship. The Powers of the Sun are the effects of a Conscious Creator. The world tells us we’re misguided, and it’s a Human weakness to believe in such things.
We were given the Power to Choose for our Self. The Truth is a long-time coming. Those who Choose Faith will realize the Truth “in the land of the living”.
Ephesians 2:8-9 KJV
8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Through Faith we are offered the in-dwelling of the Holy Spirit. Made One with the Light of the Father, the Holy Spirit shares the Creator’s Wisdom of everything.
We are called to Return to the Father when the “King is in the Field”. No matter how far we may go, the Creator holds the Power to draw us back, like the prodigal son.
Hebrews 12:2 KJV
2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
The Star of Bethlehem brought the Magi to their knees before a manger. Astronomers still debate the source of the Light. It wasn’t a stationary star. Scientific theories point to a planetary conjunction (such as Jupiter and Venus), a rare supernova, an exploding star, or a passing comet.
We’re still waiting on star T CrB to nova, a recurring event that happens about every 80 years. The Light will appear in Corona Borealis, to complete the Northern Crown. The Lord decides the Time when it appears. Every 80 years it reminds us of the myth of Ariadne who was betrothed to her True Love. But, she abandoned her True Love, and traded it for a Crown. (The Myths of Corona Borealis, The Northern Crown) The Light of her heart went out, though it reappears about every 80 years for us to remember.
The King is in the Field to call us back into the arms of Love that’s True. This year the Human calendar is aligned in a Time and Place with the potential to see a Miracle of Synchronicity that could only be offered from the Hand of God. Faith is choice while the Truth is still a mystery.

Galactic Tone 5: Empowerment. At the center of the cube we find Five. Five is an intelligent, organizing force which manages communications and materials, knowledge and application. Fives are natural networkers who gather what is needed. These persons can probe directly to the core of any situation making them excellent investigators.
Reed/BEN: Reed persons are the spiritual essence, protectors and guiding light for family and home. They are competent speakers who will take up a cause. Very tough and analytical, Reeds endeaver to bring peace, harmony, and order to all of their relations. Reeds are blessed with great skill at negotiations and consoling which are very often put to the test. Although Reeds need a log of appreciation, many have a marriage or business problems because of inflexible views and high expectations, which erode affinity. The lesson of Reed is to be like a garden hose, not a steel pipe.
A GOOD DAY TO: Bless and repair the home.
Cherokee, Reed I’hya: Symbol-Reed is the Earth, reflection of the Star Chaga of Pollux. Reed made up the Magician Twins who led the journey to bring back to life the daughter of the Sun. The Casket is Gemini. Energy for Intellectual minds, creation, re-creation, new directions, breaking the ties that bind. A trailblazer and leader. From the East, direction of success and happiness, no matter what route is taken, always ending up in the Light.
