The autumnal, fall, September, or southward equinox is the moment when the Earth's Sun (Surya, Sol) appears to cross the celestial equator, heading southward.
Because of differences between the calendar year and the tropical year, the fall equinox may occur from September 21st to 24th. It is called the equinox because night (nox) and day are equal (equi) today.
At the equinox, the Sun (as viewed from the equator) rises due east and sets due west. Before the Southward equinox, the Sun rises and sets more northerly; afterwards, it rises and sets more southerly.
The equinox may be taken to mark the end of astronomical summer and the beginning of astronomical autumn (autumnal equinox) in the Northern Hemisphere, while marking the end of astronomical winter and the start of astronomical spring (vernal equinox) in the Southern Hemisphere [1]. More
While talking impossible truths...look, free energy
If autumn begins, summer must end. Not "social summer," that ended weeks ago. This is astronomical summer, or what Sol (Surya, Sol) and Tierra (Bhumi, Gaia, Urth) are up to in relation to one another. According to Eric Dubay, the reason for the changes has nothing to do with the gatekeeper science were fed from the University system. It's all about the Sun and Moon chasing each other in a circle (not an orbit around the Earth) above the Earth that is more a spiral, sometimes tight in, sometimes wide out.
Let's let evidence, not spin, speak.
This is Western Zetetic science, which is based on tangible proof, experimentation, and demonstrable repeatable procedures that our science only gives lip service to nowadays. Of course, nobody cares what's real or what the ancients knew and taught in every major religion. We only care what YouTube stars say in the name of science. The Dharmic religions have one very consistent view about where we are and what is around us, and this does not match with the claims of modern science for the last few centuries. People take sides. The truth be damned. It's all about argument and fake CGI evidence. Everyone is forced to conform and reject the Bible, the Vedas, sacred Buddhist Teachings (the Dharma), Jainism's revelations, what the devas show and tell us. No one is allowed to question the official story we're all fed!
Q:Why did it take exactly 108 days?A: The number 108 (a full mala or rosary) is considered sacred by the Dharmic religions, such as Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism. According to Sri Lankan Theravada scholar-monk Bhante G(abbot of the Bhāvanā Society in West Virginia), 108 is reached by multiplying the senses of smell, touch, taste, hearing, sight, and consciousness by whether they are painful, pleasant, or neutral, then again by whether they are internally generated or externally occurring, and again by whether they are in the past, present, or future. Finally, we get 108 feelings: (6×3×2×3 = 108). So the number 108 represents all the possible sensory states one could experience. More
Venerable Buddhist monks touch hearts during Walk for Peace in Virginia en route to DC
(ABC 7 News - WJLA) Feb. 6, 2026: “If you’re not at peace, where are we?" said Caroline County resident Sue Iszczenko while she and her daughter Kayla waited for the venerable Buddhist monks to walk past them on their route from Texas to Washington, D.C., promoting inner and world peace.
Hi, I'm Aloka the Peace Dog
In a time defined by [Trump] turmoil, with a nation fractured, hundreds came from far and wide, gathering roadside in rural Caroline County to witness 20 Buddhist monks [and a dog named Aloka] journey a portion of 2,300 arduous miles – from Texas to D.C. – advocating for harmony in a world gone haywire.

So sweet — when Buddhist monks walking for peace make everyone smile
(AmeriScope) Feb. 5, 2026: Some moments don’t need to be explained.
We see them — and we smile spontaneously.
This video captures one of those moments.
It is so sweet in its simplicity that Americans naturally slow down and feel lighter, even if for just a moment.
Nothing here is planned. Nothing is performed. The sweetness comes from small, human interactions — the kind that happen when kind people are present and open.
A smile appears unexpectedly.
Gestures are genuine.
Someone pauses, not because they have to but because they want to.
These moments change the world little by little because inner peace expresses as world peace.
They change the moment.
As part of the Walk for Peace, scenes like this appear along the road — not loud or dramatic, just quietly heartwarming. People notice without trying. They react without thinking. And suddenly, the space is warmer.
This movement isn’t about distance, destination, or purpose.
It’s about feeling.
It’s about how sweetness shows up when no one is trying to impress or persuade.
What is the way to such "sweetness"? The Buddha taught four sublime meditations called the Four Supreme Abidings:
loving-kindness (metta)
compassion (compassion)
joy in the joy of others (mudita)
unbiased looking on (upekkha)
It happens when people are simply themselves.
In a world that often feels rushed and heavy, moments like this land differently. They do not demand attention. They invite a smile.
Sometimes that’s enough.
This is a reminder that kindness doesn’t always look serious.
Sometimes, it just looks sweet.
What was the last small moment that made you smile without expecting it? #PeaceWalk #AlokaDog #Texas #WashingtonDC #SweetMoments #EverydayJoy #LittleThingsMatter #FeelGoodVideo #WarmMoments #LifeAsItIs
Is "global warming" real? Who dares to say that it is not? The mainstream media shoves that message down our throat whether we like it or not. University researchers are enticed to find those results and punished when they find anything else. And no one seems to be counting the artificial manipulation of the weather with chemtrails, H.A.A.R.P., and other secret means. Humans are warming it, but it is a concerted effort to warm it and say in an alarmist way that that warming is galloping out of control now. We ignore our eyes. We ourselves do not review the data. When the meteorologist who founded the Weather Channel (weather.com) looked at the data, he did NOT find much of a rise. And he asked his colleagues about. There has been about a 1 degree rise in our lifetimes. Where are all the other headlines coming from and why? They will make us believe and demand that they intervene. We will not only give up our rights, we will demand they be taken away. There may be a mini ice age on the way, but we'll never hear about that above the din of alarmism and artificial youth movements kickstarted to promote an agenda. Natural global warming being brought on by consumer activity? Unlikely. Being brought on by corporate officials and their masters? Obviously.
(AmeriScope) Love travels quietly across the country and into Virginia
We are all taught to celebrate Juneteenth (June 19th) as if that were when the USA abolished slavery. But that happened with the ratification of the 13th Amendment on Feb. 1, 1865. Of course, the American government didn't bother to tell slaves and thereby free them. But that is when it became de jure (by law) illegal. De facto (by fact) we still have slavery in many forms -- human trafficking, working convicts, secretly employing the vulnerable, sexual trafficking of women, children, and boys...
End Slavery NOW: February 1st is National Freedom Day in the USA. Celebrate it by learning about and sharing with others the importance of being a modern-day abolitionist to finally end slavery now.
Feb. 1st is National Freedom Day in the USA, celebrated because in 1865, Pres. Lincoln signed the joint resolution from the House and the Senate that eventually became the 13th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution—the amendment that officially ended slavery in the U.S. even though it still legally exists.

There may have been more Native American (Indigenous, "Indians," Amerindians) slaves than Blacks or African imports. Most of them were worked to death or contaminated with diseases they had no immunity to deal with, and they are rarely spoken of; however, historians have documented this fact.
And when the USA invaded the Old West using the "Monroe Doctrine" and "manifest destiny" as pretexts, it stole half of the land that was Mexico, under Spanish rule. So a large part of this country is in fact Mexico except that "might makes right."
LYRICS: "I don't feel a single thing/ Have the pills done too much?/ Haven't caught up with my friends in weeks/ And now we're outta touch/ I've been drivin' in L.A./ And the world, it feels too big/ Like a floating ball that's bound to break/ Snap my psyche like a twig// And I just wanna see/ If you feel the same as me
[CHORUS]
This is God's own racist country, the Deep South
Do you ever get a little bit tired of life?/ Like you're not really happy, but you don't wanna die/ Like you're hangin' by a thread, but you gotta survive/ 'Cause you gotta survive/ Like your body's in the room, but you're not really there/ Like you have empathy inside, but you don't really care/ Like you're fresh outta love, but it's been in the air/ Am I past repair?
A little bit tired of trying to care when I don't/ A little bit tired of quick repairs to cope/ A little bit tired of sinkin', there's water in my boat/ I'm barely breathin', tryna stay afloat/ So I got these quick repairs to cope/ Guess I'm just broken and broke
[VERSE 2] The prescription's on its way/ With a name I can't pronounce/ And the dose I gotta take/ Boy, I wish that I could count/ 'Cause I just wanna see/ If this could make me happy// [CHORUS]
A little bit tired of trying to care when I don't/ A little bit tired of quick repairs to cope/ A little bit tired of sinkin', there's water in my boat/ I'm barely breathin', tryna stay afloat/ So I got these quick repairs to cope
[OUTRO] Do you ever get a little bit tired of life?/ Like you're not really happy, but you don't wanna die/ Like a numb little bug that's gotta survive/ That's gotta survive.
Whoa, Asians be crazy? (Rosemead)
What happened to former reigning Asian Hollywood (Kill Bill) Beauty Queen Lucy Liu?
What is a "kissup"? It is one who kisses @$$, that is, kisses up to power to get something. Will this "fine woman," as Trump now calls Nobel Peace Laureate María Corina Machado, be elevated to ruler of her country, Venezuela, by its current president (according to Wikipedia), Don Juan Trump? Kowtow, fawn, and brown nose all the way to the bottom -- that's the way to American Dictator Trump's affection. How happy Nobel Peace Laureate Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Nobel Peace Prize Nominee Buddhist monk Thích Nhất Hạnh (nominated by MLK Jr.), and other Nobel laureates be to hear it? Former Warlord B.S. Obama must be nonplussed. If Trump were awarded by the Nobel committee, that might show everyone how corrupt the process has become, so corrupted that even he (Obi) got one before ever doing anything to merit it then went on a rampage of abuse of his Pentagon powers: bombing, killing, invading, expelling, all under the veneer of an esteemed and beloved peacemaker who, being Black, couldn't possibly be as bad as the maniacs (Bush and Cheney) he was installed to replace (along with war-loving Biden).
