Superstitions Surround Rare Event in AsiaBy Michael Casey

Millions of people across Asia will witness the longest total solar eclipse that will happen this century, as vast swaths of India and China, the entire city of Shanghai and southern Japanese islands are plunged into darkness Wednesday for about five minutes.
Streams of amateur stargazers and scientists are traveling long distances to witness the once-in-a-lifetime event.
Astronomers hope the eclipse will unlock clues about the sun, while an astrologer in Myanmar predicts it could usher in chaos. Some in India are advising pregnant relatives to stay indoors to follow a centuries-old tradition of avoiding the sun's invisible rays.
The eclipse will appear first at dawn in India's Gulf of Khambhat just north of the metropolis of Mumbai.
It will move east across India, Nepal, Myanmar, Bangladesh, Bhutan and China before hitting the Pacific. The eclipse will cross some southern Japanese islands and be last visible from land at Nikumaroro Island in the South Pacific nation of Kiribati. Elsewhere, a partial eclipse will be visible in much of Asia.
For astronomers, it will be a chance for a prolonged view of the sun's corona, a white ring 600,000 miles from the sun's surface. The previous total eclipse, in August 2008, was two minutes and 27 seconds. This one will last 6 minutes and 39 seconds at its maximum point.
Solar scientist Lucie Green is aboard an American cruise ship heading for that point near the Japanese island of Iwo Jima, where the axis of the moon's shadow will pass closest to earth.

While the world is preoccupied with the antronomical phenomenon of the Asian eclipse; others may be considering the prophetic and cosmic significance.
As the sun , moon and earth went into perfect alignment to obscure a significant part of the earth, is the universe sending a message?
The last time Europe was was eclipsed in August 1999 in total darkness at the turn of the millenium some interpreted as the darkness of European Spiritual intellect and the end of Europe as the centre of Intelectual and Spiritual leadership for the world.
With the darkness now over Asia, is the same message being conveyed to the earth and universe? This eclipse was preceded by the Tsunami in that region and we possibly have to consider what has been happening in that region in humanitarian and spiritual terms to cause the signal of the end of Asia as the Eastern Mecca of lIGHT.
Thailand and other Eastern destinations are havens of prostitition for the promiscuous carnal pleasure of western sexual tastes, Burma recently massacared thousands of innocent monks in a political frenzy as they protested peacefully and recently India--July 2009 legalised homosexuality.
Has spiritual darkness engulfed the region in a message to the enlightened world?
As the Spiritual Centre of the Earth Jerusalem is being re-energised by Truth....it seems that the once ancient regions of sought enlightenment are one by one being eliminated in a narrowing down to the earth's umblical cord, the centre of the earth, the vortex of Yah's geo-centric and biospheric life-force as the ultimate Spiritual Centre of the universe and hummankind's
Redemption.
I do get caried away don't I? do I read too much into these phenomena?

Shalom ,
Before Prince Shaleahk Ben Yehuda made transition he was planning his next African Edenic Heritage World Study Tour to South East Asia: China, East Timor, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Island and a few other South Pacific areas.
His intention was to engage with the Indigenious African peoples there and reconnect them with Jerusalem. At the time there were riots in East Timor and the Indigenous people were being oppressed.
Was Prince Yehuda trying restore the Light in these original souls to invoke the mercy of the cosmos and the Universal Corrective Forces?
With His transcendance, the darkness of immorality and commercial sex trade becomming more dominant; I believe the Cosmic Universal forces had no choice but become aligned to eliminate Asia from its 'Eastern' enlightenment status.
Abba Shaleahk's spirit was in perfect alignment with this Corrective Force and tried to invoke the African Spirits to become the light to prempt this Cosmic Judgement.
