So if it is accepted that global consciousness has shifted in ways that reflect a more integrated global community made possible by the communications infrastructure of the internet and cyber-communications, can this impact on sunspot activity? Put otherwise, does a more unified global humanity impact on the behavior of the sun? This is a difficult question to answer, but it nevertheless points to the idea that changes in global consciousness are an important variable to take into account in analyzing the sun’s behavior. This is a variable that Mitch Battros and other solar researchers ignore in their highly deterministic accounts of sunspot activity influencing events on Earth.
Conclusion
It is highly likely that the zero sunspot activity for August 2008 and earlier low sunspot activity in 2008 is due to changes in global consciousness brought about by the harmonizing of human interests and activities through the internet. As humanity continues to take large steps forward in promoting planetary harmony through the global cooperation and unity made possible by instantaneous global communications, the impact will be evident in solar activity.
So the Battros equation needs to consider that human consciousness is a causal agent rather than solely an effect of solar activity. His equation needs to incorporate the following direct causal relationship: “Sunspots <=> Changes in Human Consciousness.” This means that Battros’ and others predictions of highly destructive Earth changes resulting from a super active sunspot Cycle 24 will not emerge given the low sunspot count currently occuring. What’s more likely, as changes in global consciousness produce greater planetary cooperation and harmony, is that sunspot cylce 24 will be unremarkable. Neither a super active Cycle 24 causing massive Earth Changes, nor another Little Ice Age signifying extreme winter conditions. The Zero sunspot count for August 2008 is therefore not a cause for concern, but something to be celebrated.
