Will this be 'deja vu' all over again? Many of you may remember the three year long build up brought on by Richard Noone and his book "5-5-2000". We were led to believe an unusual seven planet alignment was the impetus of world destruction. Needless to say, on May 5th 2000, absolutely nothing happened.

Dr. Buryl Payne author of "The Body Magnetic" has come forward suggesting we are in for a "shift". This upcoming planetary alignment is occurring on August 27th 2003. My first thought was "Oh no, here we go again." But then Dr. Payne threw me a left curve. He hinted that it will not be as the calls to doom of the past. He asked me to put on my Acupuncturist hat. So I did. Then he went on to explain the dynamics of a magnetic grid that surrounds all living things...including planets. He spoke to me in terms of acupuncture points that surround the body. They are generally known as "meridians". As an NADA certified acupuncturist, I quickly understood where he was going. Perhaps this is in perfect accordance with Mayan prophecy according to the current phase of the Mayan Calendar.

Here is an excerpt from Dr. Payne's research. "Some atoms and molecules have a characteristic called spin. Living things such as a leaf and certainly a person organize the molecules which make up their body. Therefore there may be a net spin around the whole organism. Similarly, a chunk of iron which has some of its electrons organized has a net spin force around it which we call magnetism. Payne (1988), discovered that any open frame placed over a person's head and suspended by a fine strand of thread or fishing line so as to be free to move would rotate as a result of the spin force emanating from that person. Animals and plants were also found to produce this spin force. A small group was observed to produce a measurable effect on a subject at a distance of 10 miles. The effect was observed 4 or 5 times in 4 subjects for a total of 18 times out of 18 trials."

Could this coming planetary alignment somehow indicate a starting point, or escalation, related to an internal shift in consciousness or personal energy?
