The other day, I was working on the planetary empath chapter for Aliens in the Backyard, and was reading through our past posts on this phenomenon.
Planetary empaths experience physical symptoms that mirror an approaching natural or manmade disaster, like 9-11. The 9-11 part of this is why we’re posting this today, a day early, even though this particular post doesn’t focus on man-made disasters.
A pounding migraine, for instance, may be connected to an impending earthquake. An unbearable pressure in the head may be connected to an impending volcanic eruption.
I believe that the precognitive ability to sense natural disasters in this way is tied somehow to encounters, sightings, and the abductee phenomenon, where many of these people are shown catastrophic scenes of Earth’s future. That said, these kinds of experiences aren’t necessarily a criteria for being a planetary empath. The actual criteria is straightforward: an open mind, a profound need to know, and a deep and abiding intuition.
Even though we have more reports from women right now, the ability isn’t gender specific. The disparity may be that men don’t talk about this stuff among their peers whereas women are accustomed to doing so. Women are natural gossips and generally tend to talk about feelings and experiences more readily than men do. Perhaps, for men, the empathic part occurs more readily through the mind, the intellect, the conscious recognition of a synchronistic event.
On February 22, 2011, a 6.3 quake struck New Zealand. Some of the empaths had sent us emails a day or two before the quake about physical symptoms they were experiencing. On the day of the quake, when we put up the post about it – February 22, 2011, Daz from Brisbane Australia left a comment on our blog that may be the perfect explanation of how male empaths experience a planetary event – not through physical symptoms, not through their bodies, but through the voice of synchronicity.
Daz’s life is “haunted” by certain numbers clusters – 23, 11:11 (overwhelmingly so, he writes), 222, and 911. So on the day of the quake, he was on his way to work and glanced at his watch and saw: 11:11. He knew it meant a significant event was about to happen. “But it wasn’t the 11:11 that spooked me, it was today’s date towards the bottom of my watch face: 22/2 (February 22). That date will be as notorious as 911 to many New Zealanders, for years to come.”
As we find ourselves in a time of increased weather weirdness and more natural disasters, this uncomfortable and often debilitating precognitive ability may be an emerging talent. As it’s honed and developed, perhaps the empaths themselves will learn how to interpret their physical symptoms and the synchronicities so they can tell what kind of event is coming, how destructive it will be, and where it will occur.
Perhaps these empaths are going to be our 21st century shamans, each with a piece of the puzzle. Like the Hopi shamans, they may be ushering us into the next world. Or perhaps they’ll be like the precogs in the movie Minority Report. Hopefully, it won’t come to that, bald precogs floating in liquid, seized up with their visions, lacking any independent life, human rights, or anything else.
Then again, a more extreme version of this talent could be exactly that, but in a more positive way – a government somewhere that calls upon these planetary empaths to predict where and when an event will occur, how bad it will be, and all the other details needed for an evacuation. The problem with such a scenario, of course, is that the first time it doesn’t pan out, the whole thing will tank – negative media, funding pulled, symptoms and synchronicity dismissed as invalid.
Even the National Hurricane predictions about the paths that hurricanes will take three to five days out isn’t a hundred percent accurate. And those predictions are based on technology and science – satellites, the history of storms, meteorological information. Can you imagine the fury if a predictive system based on intuition and synchronicity proved to be wrong?
But as Hurricane Katrina approached New Orleans, meteorologist Max Mayfield,then a forecaster with NOAH, warned the administration that the aging levees around the city might be a catastrophic problem. His admonitions were ignored. So even if planetary empaths develop their abilities to the point where they can offer specific predictions, there’s no guarantee anyone in authority will listen.
Here’s a list of the natural disasters worldwide from January 1 – September 8, 2012. Click on the specific countries. This list doesn’t include record ice melt in the Arctic, the rising seas, the tragic beaching of whales, dolphins, and birds falling from the sky. It doesn’t include tipping point events (politics, finances) or human disasters, like mass shootings. But just in this list, there’s plenty to ponder. It forces me to question how our collective consciousness impacts a particular area, city, country.
Why, for instance, was the Republican convention haunted by Tropical Storm Isaac to the point where the convention was delayed for a day? Why did that storm reach the New Orleans area during the convention, 7 years to the day that Katrina, the lowest point in the Bush presidency, had struck? What kind of underlying order is this, anyway? And it isn’t happening just with politics. Pick a neighborhood, a village, a town, a city, an area, a country that is in the throes of monumental change and strife, and chances are you will discover a natural or man-made upheaval.
I’m not sure what planetary empaths are or how far their ability will evolve. But one thing seems fairly certain: the Buffalo Springfield nailed it. That song in the video above was written by Stephen Still, released as a single in January 1967 – 45 years ago – and is rated #63 by Rolling Stone in the list of the 500 greatest songs ever recorded.
We are right in the middle of the shift in consciousness. It is time to wake up and realize our strengths. Collectively we have a power that will eventually be known, but for now we are confused and scared – and utterly controlled. Love this song. Wish I had a dime for every time I’ve listened to it. Now that I think about it, the 60’s were all about trying to stave off what is happening right now. I guess we failed. 1984 has arrived.
I don’t think we failed. Here’s why: WE are aware. Yes, we’re confused now, we’re trying to find our way through these rapid changes. But we intuitively know how to navigate this. Change isn’t just approaching; it’s being ushered in. We are its face, its voice.
Yes. Maybe it must be this way. The pendulum must make its journey to the far side before it can start to swing back.
Speaking of empaths – my dog is going crazy. Husband felt an earthquake and several aftershocks. I didn’t feel them downstairs – however the earthquake site does not show one for our area. Today is the start of the airshow in Reno and there were planes doing things over Lake Tahoe – but I could have sworn there were drones with the planes that were maneuvering. Maybe they are just here to be shown off at the airshow, or maybe they were not drones, but something is feeling very strange right now. Last year saw a dreadful accident with people killed at the airshow. Lucy is not calming down – despite not even waking up for the earthquake that really rolled the house a few weeks ago. Why the reaction to this one when I didn’t even feel it downstairs?
Contrast. That seems to be how we humans learn.
MomWithWings, I wasn’t going to put this on the blog but emailed it to Trish and Rob this morning and will mention it briefly. Yesterday morning (Sunday, EDT) when I got up, I was expereincing severe tremors, inside and outside my entire body. They were tremors, not chills. My legs didn’t want to hold me up. They were very wobbly, and I cried off and on all day. I simply wasn’t functional. I don’t do meds except two for the chronic illness, but the tremors were so awful that I did finally take a medication specifically designed for such things. It had no impact on the tremors.These are new planetary empath symptoms…I recognized that…they have nothing to do with my health issue. Also, that tiny “baby cricket” clicking is in my left ear again. I’ve learned that it signifies something west of me. I have no idea what this is about. Today has been not as bad, but not completely gone, either. I don’t want to return to another incarnation as an empath, and am hoping before I leave this time we’ll have made some progress in understanding and interpreting this phenomenon. It isn’t fun. If it could somehow HELP, then it would be worth the symptoms. Hopefully as time goes on we’ll be able to clarify more than we can now. I know how my body reacts to quakes and volcanic eruptions, and often to man-made events such as 9-11. But often I’m completely unknowing what is imminent. It’s a challenge, to say the least.
Interesting about the tremors Math. My legs have had some cramps and just feel so uncomfortable, like restless leg syndrome I guess.
I also keep looking out west..I cannot get a grasp on this.
Boy do I agree with you NOT wanting to come back as an empath. I do not like it and my stuff is minor to what you experience. I thank you for sharing because I have learned a lot from you!
I saw Stephen Stills play at the Byron Bay Bluesfest this year on Good Friday with
“Crosby Stills and Nash” and I can tell you these guys may be older but they haven’t lost it.
Graham Nash was wearing a “Democracy Now! ” t-shirt on the night as well.
I remember walking to the car-park early (to beat the crowd out) and hearing their song “Teach Your Children” echoing through the night air.
Haunting stuff.
Lucky you!! I have to get to this festival!!
Well here’s another 911 sync involving my work.
I and a few others have just been made redundant.
And my redundancy should be finalized today Sept 11th.
And in case you are wondering who my former employer was for 24 years,
It was the giant Swedish furniture chain IKEA.
(I had already told Trish who I worked for a while ago through e-mail,but since I no longer work there I don’t feel that I need to keep that part of my life a secret anymore)
It’s good to be out of there,to tell the truth,I just have to find something now before the money runs out.
Wow, Daz. You’ll find something you love. It’s an opportunity. It was time to get out.
Rob tried to send you a message here, it just bounced back. He said, You got lucky, Daz.
Oddly enough,I feel pretty good at the moment and this clip sums
up my feelings pretty well –

off to check your link!
And hey, now you can sleep in tomorrow if you feel like it.
Well,it wasn’t finalized until today,Sept 12th here,
because they couldn’t get hold of the lady from down in Sydney who manages the pays.
So officially on this side of the world it is Sept 12th,but technically on your side of the world it is still 9/11,so in a way, my job was demolished on 9/11 New York time and my world will never be the same again also.
But in my case this could be a good or bad thing,only time will tell.
Time for me to get rebuilding my finances and look for some thing that I want to do,not have to do.
I’ve never forgotten the changes to my world view from the first Sept 11 in 2001 and eleven years later to the day (because it was the 12th over this side of the world when the buildings fell technically) another major turning point has hit my life.
You are freed, Daz.
I, personally, have found the people around me much more open to my warnings. Often after an event they’ll ask if I felt anything.
The past 4 days I’ve been having dizziness and bad headaches. There have been a lot of large earthquakes, I hope it has nothing to do with tomorrow.
Love, this song!!
I tend to seriously think we’re already in the throes of the “change”. Some die-hard people are doing everything they can to disavow that our planet and everything on it and in it are shifting, but the facts themselves are undeniable. My birthday falls a few days after the specific date of the end of the Mayan long-count calendar, and I expect to be here to celebrate it. However, For several weeks now I’ve been sharing with Trish and Rob recurring dreams I’ve having night after night about “Christmas”. I don’t focus on the 12-21 stuff, so my dreams aren’t designed towards that. However, my dreams are, in one way or another prgrammed for “dream learning’, and I have kept a dream journal for decades. My dreams are precognitive. Sometimes for personal things, sometimes for universal things. Christmas, or thereabouts, will bring something much more major than we usually experience during the holidays. This I KNOW. Not necessarily on the 21st, but certainly between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Must wait and see.
The times I have heard that song but have never really connected with the words – until now. I don’t see the world at large (media especially) as being ready to take empaths (or synchronicity) seriously – perhaps this will start to change in December … time will tell.
Maybe we’re in the midst of this change already.
