I think those effects are visible.

In ourselves as uncertainty, despair, unrest, depression, anger, indecisiveness, constant thinking, despair etc. And in the outside world as all forms of injustice, war and abuse etc.

We just started to take it for granted.

But it is the effect of forgetting what your first nature is.

I am not denying negative affects from technology and how we’ve changed our lifestyles over the ages. As someone who has traveled for the better part of 35 years, I’ve seen the significant difference in something as simple as a hotel bar. Decades ago, everybody sat and talked to the stranger next to them and made their new 60 minute best friend. I still remember people from 20 or 30 years ago like this. Now, the hotel bar frequented by business travelers often, not always, but often, looks like a church with everyone head’s bowed in prayer.

But secondly, I’m not neglecting the amazing advantages from technology. And if people didn’t pack up and move away, we would all be isolated on the East Coast. My daughter lives 1000 miles away from me and it’s no fun, but she is creating her own life, her own story. The world needs people like that.

And I’m sorry, but the gravitational effect of the planets has zero influence on any person. I’m not an engineer, and certainly not an aerospace engineer, but I’ve been in technical industries all my whole life, and I’ve gathered enough information over the years that I could easily pass as an engineer. And I know enough to know, from a mathematical point of view, the planets can line up all they want, but the gravitational effect on a human is as close to zero as a number can be.

Again, that’s not to say, nature doesn’t influence us directly, or even subliminally, because I’m sure that it does.

Full Moon, Crescent Moon, new Moon, it doesn’t matter. The moon is still there. The mass of the moon is what creates gravity not what you can see because it happens to be at an angle where light is reflecting back to you.

I still want noon to be at the moment when the sun is at its highest.
It is not for nothing that we have had a pause then since ancient times. It is a moment where we can come into contact with the subtle forces within us, a kind of portal.

We now do all kinds of things based on ideas and desires that we have and that is usually what drives us.

But it is a filter. If you take a moment and sit quietly in nature, you will quickly see that all those thoughts dissolve. There is still a thinking mind left, but then you see that it disturbs you.

It is possible to calm the mind, but it can also dissolve completely. These are what we call spiritual experiences because the filter falls away and suddenly you experience who you really are. You experience your first nature.

We have all had such an experience at some point, and it is enormously refreshing. Just like a night's sleep is refreshing.

Now it is so that everything around us the trees the animals the cosmos all live in this state of refreshment. Except man. because he has the filter of thinking that he has come to believe that he is.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with technology and modern comfort. But without feeling that subtle power within us we are unhappy and we know no satisfaction and we experience a lack and we want to fill that. We are not grounded.

I wonder if the experience of those dispatchers and other reports are easily explainable: because a full moon provides more light, there’s more nefarious activities or just more people out enjoying the view, which statistically creates more incidents. Maybe it’s something as simple as that, I don’t know.

noon "time" will change daily and season to season
Says TC..


not quite,Says I

Noon in solar time occurs when the sun is at its highest point in the sky for the day, and it is either due south or due north of the observer depending on the latitude.
The Location of the sun ,In the sky,it's Highest point, changes,
The Time it is at its highest point is Solar noon.



That happens at the same Time, just the elevation above the horizon changes.
The seasons don't change When solar noon is.
Just where the sun is above the horizon.



Some globes have a weird looking 8 on them. It's a graph of the suns path, if you took the location of the sun at noon every day for a year.


An analemma is a diagram that shows the annual variation of the Sun's position on the celestial sphere, relative to its mean position, as seen from a fixed location on Earth. (The word analemma is also occasionally, but rarely, used in other contexts.) It can be considered as an image of the Sun's apparent motion during a year, which resembles a figure-8. An analemma can be pictured by superimposing photographs taken at the same time of day, a few days apart for a year.
