Greetings,  :)

Have you read or meditated on any of the sources that say the aurora borealis or southern borealis is a bunch of souls checking out the earth's conditions before they incarnate here?

Does that 'resonate' with you?
It does me but i don't have any information on it or know where to get it---do you know of any spiritual information on it?

Bets

Hi bets,where did you get that information from.George

Hi George,

I can't remember but I've just ordered a book on the myths and science of the aurora, so I'll geet back to you on that after I've read it.

Bets

I only know the basic physics explanation, and that there still are some questions. And I've heard that when there is aurora, it's often accompanied by an acoustic phaenomenon, which is like a whispering or crackling or rustling.

So the Aurora Borealis is the new recruits checking out the place before their arrival? Then doubtless the Aurora Australis is the same bunch gathered about trying to jump ship and go back to some nice peaceful galaxy?

Without a magnetic field, many planets have no aurorae - I guess that they're not destined to be populated at all - so Mercury and Venus are unpopular. And then biggest gas giant types obviously must have a lot more going on, as they have larger auroral regions.

It's a nice image, anyhow.

Right! Why not?

What if magnetism and life are part of the same package, so it takes one to have the other?  :)
And what are our lessons to be learned in this galaxy? Perhaps on Jupitor we learn to experience differences between various invisible yet lethally different currents of gasses?
Your perhaps facecious reply really frees up the mind !  Thanks Dave!  :D

Hi George,

OK, now I've read the book and some other web articles, but no direct research is being done on my question.
Most of the peoples living in the north nearer the aurora have folklore that says the Aurora is made of souls celebrating in various ways. A few smaller isolated tribes think the lights are dangerous. The aurora's movement of dips and flows looks like dancing or a ball game, they think.  The aurora's sounds of whistling and whispering sounds like people but is probably from the electrical particles discharging.
Scientists do admit they still don't know exactly how it all works though.

Some recent people have tried out one part of the folklore---that if you whistle at it in the same way it's whistling, some of it will flow towards you.  It's called 'whistling down the lights.' And again, some people think that's dangerous, but alot try it for fun.
Since science has measured the height of the lights and says they stay above 50--60 feet in the air up to 300 ft high, you'd sure need a loud whistle!

I'm disappointed, but I'll get over it.  :-?   ;)

Well, didn't the ancients think that thunder was a sign of God being angry?  And in the middle ages, didn't most folks think the world is flat?

When we don't understand the scientific underpinnings of things, we come up with all sorts of explanations for things that really are natural phenomena.  

We were having dinner at a friend's house when their phone rang.  They let their answering machine take it, and later when they checked their Caller ID, they saw that it just had a bunch of 1s on the display.

It wasn't a dead relative calling them, just a solicitor whose number is blocked.  

Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.

:-?  :-[  :-/

Aww-wwww....
                 ...  ..  .

Quote Bets: "50--60 feet in the air up to 300 ft high"
  So low? I thought it would be much higher.

Spooky

Change feet to miles and it's about right.

Thank you Cricket and Spooky,

for the correction on the height of the aurora borealis colors.
I was mistaken  :-[ and even my 300 miles is in error---another sources says it rises up to 600 miles in height.
