Alan Steinfeld
Welcome to New Realities with Alan Steinfeld. It’s a weekly radio show where I interview the latest in what’s happening on the planet as far as spiritual awareness and consciousness. And tonight, we’re going to have a few guests. Our first guest is Stephen Popiotek, who is a metaphysical healer and teacher in the New York area. He’s going to be talking to us about this very strange phenomenon that’s happening in the sky, which is a comet that you’re not getting major press about. But Stephen sort of has an understanding of what that’s all about. And the second guest is Klaus Heinemann, who’s talking about a book he’s co-authored with Miceal Ledwith called The Orb Project. And Stephen and Miceal Ledwith will both be speaking at an Orb Symposium that’s happening this Saturday, November 10th in New York City. If you want more information, email me at newrealities@earthlink.net. And orbs are these little balls of light that seem to be appearing all over in all the digital cameras, a lot of digital photographs, and people are trying to understand what they are. Many people think they are altered forms of consciousness or spirits. So first we’ll talk to Steve about the comet. Stephen, are you there?
Stephen Popiotek
Yes, I am.
Alan Steinfeld
Okay. So there’s this strange event in the sky. Actually, I saw a mention of it today in the New York Post, but a very small little thing. Tell people what’s going on outside the orbit of Mars and how it’s affecting us.
Stephen Popiotek
Sure. Well, it’s a very interesting phenomenon. What originally became a very small comet that’s only about two or three miles in diameter named Comet 17P/Holmes. It’s basically a small comet that orbits the sun between Mars and Jupiter about every seven years. Now this comet was discovered actually synchronistically enough. The anniversary date of its discovery is actually today, tonight. It was discovered on November 6th, 1892. So happy birthday to Holmes. We’ll give a shout out to that.
Alan Steinfeld
Are we calling it Holmes now? Is that like a slang name?
Stephen Popiotek
Comet Holmes, yes. Now Comet Holmes is doing something that is really mesmerizing all the astronomers and people worldwide, although it’s not being covered up until past few days by the mainstream media. On October 24th, this particular comet basically increased in its magnitude of brilliance almost a million times. So it became almost a million times brighter in less than one day.
Alan Steinfeld
But how is something like that possible just physically under the laws of physics?
Stephen Popiotek
Well, exactly. What’s happening is that it’s definitely violating what a lot of the alternative scientists are talking about. It’s going against a lot of the traditional dirty snowball theories about what a comet is. The proponents of the electric theory of the universe are a lot more I think on target in trying to explain some of the phenomenon. I’ll go into that in a minute once I explain a little bit more about what is happening with it. What happened was a few days after it increased its magnitude almost a million-fold, it became the actual coma, there was a kind of explosion that occurred in the nucleus of the comet that created a gas cloud. The expansion of this gas cloud surpassed the size of Jupiter.
Alan Steinfeld
The actual size of the gas cloud is bigger than the largest planet in our solar system?
Stephen Popiotek
And it’s even more astounding than that Alan. Last week, in the middle of last week it increased its size to over seven times the size of Jupiter. You’re talking about 70% the size of the sun.
Alan Steinfeld
How come we’re not getting Hubble Telescope pictures of this?
Stephen Popiotek
Exactly. This is one of the questions that I’d like to pose as well and a lot of physicists or especially in the alternative community are wondering too. There seems to be a massive cover-up by NASA just giving a little bit of a whitewash on their main webpage just talking about it really briefly. Meanwhile, I’m sure they have their telescopes pointed at it. It almost seems like it’s of such import and significance that it could be fulfilling some of the prophecies of Nostradamus and some of the Hopi prophecies that this might be one of the reasons why they’re trying to keep it out of the collective consciousness.
Alan Steinfeld
Yeah, but how come amateur astronomers could take pictures of this with just a high-powered telescope?
Stephen Popiotek
There’s a tremendous amount of photographs that you can find online. Spaceweather.com is one of the best sites that I’ve seen that is a mainstream astronomy website where they’ve been tracking this comet every day. Thank God they are able to do that at least and have it out there because without them I don’t think we’d have it in as much press. According to the electric theory of the universe proponents, what had happened when they were analyzing the actual orbits of the planets at the time when the comet first erupted, there was an alignment with the comet with the planet Mars and Venus and slightly along with Mercury. Now this is from the physicist Jim McCanney who has a wonderful website where he goes into this. He’s one of the first founders of the electric theory of the universe.
Alan Steinfeld
What’s that website?
Stephen Popiotek
The website is jmccanneyScience.com. This is just in my own research. I’m more of a metaphysical teacher but I like to incorporate science and astronomy into my metaphysics because I feel it is all one. I had dreams about a year ago while working with one of the Lakota Indian chiefs while we were presenting him in New York and I had these dreams involving the thunder beings or the thunderbirds which are really a prominent figure in the Lakota philosophy. They were visiting me and they came in the form of ball lightning in the dream plane. They were specifically referencing this time of year that we’re in now, end of October, November, that it was important for as many people as possible to call on these higher light beings, these thunder beings to come in because they were going to be necessary to help transmute some of the negative timelines that are taking place such as what we are seeing with this administration in terms of the desire to create another war in the Middle East and various incidents along that line.
Alan Steinfeld
So what’s the significance of the comet astrologically?
Stephen Popiotek
Absolutely. So what happens actually with this comet is that this comet was first discovered in the constellation Andromeda. It was subsequently rediscovered in its brilliance a few weeks ago in the constellation Perseus. Now what’s fascinating about this is that Perseus and Andromeda go hand in hand in the Greek mythology. Perseus is one of the greatest Greek heroes who saved Andromeda who represents the divine feminine or Mother Earth in that sense from the dark sea dragon or from the false serpent. On one level it’s also symbolic of us clearing our unconscious with this extra energy that’s coming in from that eruption of plasma that’s occurring around the comet is definitely influencing our collective unconscious to be more open to these more refined frequencies. And there literally is an electrical energy that flows between the planetary magnetic fields according to these other scientists who work with that theory. And they’re saying that because of that alignment this is what is charging up the comet, that it’s part of an electrical discharge of the solar system capacitor. And that this is of course more than that on the metaphysical level. There is an amazing energy alignment that’s happening that’s restructuring a lot of people’s nervous systems. And if any of the listeners have undergone any kind of back pain or specifically in the back of the shoulder blade area the past few weeks I’ve talked to a lot of people who have had extra sensitivity in this area and it seems like there’s an influence of this energy coming in that the comet is stimulating.
Alan Steinfeld
So it’s a good thing in a sense. It’s a positive thing.
Stephen Popiotek
Absolutely. I totally see it as a blessing of many higher light beings that are coming and helping to use this as a portal to send us increased blessings on the planet.
Alan Steinfeld
So why do you think what’s the cover up about the NASA cover up?
Stephen Popiotek
Well, they’re only giving it very little press. One thing that NASA said was that even NASA says that they have no idea what’s going on with this comet. The mainstream astronomers are saying they have no idea how this is possible according to the known laws of old comet physics. What they’re coding in the mainstream media is that it’s some kind of comet explosion that might be using a kind of honeycombed structure on the comet where it could be exposing itself to some more ice. Now this is ridiculous. You can’t have a two-mile diameter comet that expands seven times the size of Jupiter and say it’s just made of ice. I mean, this is what the other physicists are talking about who are really amusing.
Alan Steinfeld
So the cover-up is to cover their ignorance or, like you said before, possibly to not talk about the Hopi prophecies or to kind of avoid that?
Stephen Popiotek
I mean, yeah, we’re even hearing some rumors. I wouldn’t be surprised because with Nostradamus prophecy, he talks about this large comet in and as a precursor sign to World War III and various other events that would entail some negative influences. So to basically stop giving energy to that as well perhaps, whether it’s intentionally or whether maybe there are some positive influences in the governments that are just helping to downplay it to not feed it more fear consciousness into the populace. It could be either way. I look at it from a broader perspective. Who knows if it could be connected back into that? I like to bring things back more internally to the self and what is the planet receiving these alignments. It’s definitely something that they don’t want the collective to feed into because I feel like it is a tremendous doorway of change and hope to help us rewire our nervous system to help us heal. I had one dream about the comet and that was just that it was here to help us open up and bring energy into past 13 of the Tree of Life on the collective consciousness. This is an energy path that connects the heart chakra to the crown to connect love so that we might understand the presence of unity. And that energy then floods into the area where Pluto rules. So the fact that it happened during a Pluto alignment is also quite more of a mirror. Just after the sun went into Scorpio bringing light to the underworld, we have this interplanetary messenger that is becoming larger than anything in our solar system. That in itself is still magical and so mesmerizing to conceive of that it definitely deserves more attention at the very least and honoring of it in our meditation. And definitely for the scientists to become more forthcoming to admit that they don’t have exactly a full handle on the situation. For us to be shown more of the accurate measurements is definitely vital. Unfortunately, we’re not really being shown that.
Alan Steinfeld
Okay, but your prediction now for the future, is it going to move towards us? Is it going to come more into our physical awareness and our consciousness awareness or is it moving away from us and becoming less out of our awareness?
Stephen Popiotek
Sure, here’s the other thing which also goes against a lot of what the traditional physics talks about is that this comet is actually further away from the sun. It’s not coming towards the sun which would be the classical definition of how a solar wind could trigger a comet to flare. It’s actually heading away from the sun. It’s actually basically 150 million miles from the Earth. One very fascinating thing about this is that if you take the distance that the comet is currently from the Earth and you divide that by the distance the Earth is from the sun, roughly say 93 million miles, the ratio that comes out is closely approximates that of phi. So you’re talking about a phi or a golden mean ratio that is basically happening. So it’s even more amazing because it’s incorporating sacred geometry with this energy. Now it’s going to be quite interesting because according to other astronomers, there’s another site called cometography.com. They were saying that if the comet expands at its current rate, it will be by December, it will be twice the size of the full moon, which in terms of our perception. If you’re putting that actual size.
Alan Steinfeld
Is it possible this could be some kind of ship, spaceship?
Stephen Popiotek
What I feel it is is that it’s acting more as like a portal for higher light beings to be able to pump their energy into our inner solar system. And that it’s quite possible what I’m waiting to see is is the outer shell of the comet is it going to separate from the actual nucleus. If it separates and then it keeps expanding, we could experience some kind of solar cometary winds. I don’t know, this is what we need to keep our eyes on because also what’s happening is that the actual nucleus of the comet is also expanding too. So that’s going to shift the actual mass of the comet.
Alan Steinfeld
Just imagine what a shocking phenomenon that would be if it appeared in our sky twice the size of the moon.
Stephen Popiotek
Exactly. Like currently it’s actually about half the size of the full moon, but because it’s not as luminescent from that far away through the visible eye, we can only see it basically looks like a patchy piece of a cloud that’s larger than a star. And it’s pretty much visible straight up in the sky right after sunset. But with simple binoculars and telescopes, it’s huge, you know. I mean, it takes very, very little equipment to not to see it.
Alan Steinfeld
So your prediction is going to be coming more and more into our awareness and eventually the mainstream’s gonna have to talk about it. It’s not moving out of our awareness.
Stephen Popiotek
Because also because our planet Earth is moving closer towards the alignment with Mars in December when Mars will be closer to the Earth in terms of the current orbit. So with the electric theory universe, they’re talking about our magnetic field lining up even more intensely, so it should be even more dramatic. So I’m also saying that we should just really use this opportunity to ask that these higher thunder beings, which are one manifestation of the energy, in terms of being able to ground it, you know, through a cultural archetype. Or asking that you bring more awareness to this space through meditation, through contemplation, asking your angels and your guides to help you align with these new frequencies, because to direct that to initiate change so that we don’t have to have another terrorist incident or another war. The idea is that they’re really trying to generate energy to create these other incidents. So we as light workers need to take our power back and bring this energy in and claim our sovereignty here and say, no, we will not stand for this. We are here to really bring about the new age, as the new benediction. Not in not being ungrounded about it, but being very grounded in our conviction.
Alan Steinfeld
Well, that’s already playing itself out in places like Pakistan right now where the dictator tried to take over and then the lawyers and then the street people are fighting back. I mean, who knows what will happen there, but it seems like some of that drama is being played out.
Stephen Popiotek
Yeah, it’s almost like a test case for them to see what would happen over here if they were to declare that because part of that timeline of the dreams I had back in last February, while the chief was here, had to do with the thunder beings coming in. And they were saying that this time of year specifically, there was a high risk of a staged, false flag incident happening as a justification to go into Iran. So that’s something we try to send energy to transmute in our prayers and our blessings and to ask for that divine intervention. So these are all probabilities being played out. And also with the Earth’s weather, that same physicist McCanney has talked about, he also wrote a book that was connecting the influence that occurs on comets and the plasma fields with the Earth’s weather. It’s often been known fact about how the sun spots can affect the Earth’s weather, but it has been less talked about the influence of the dynamic circuitry between the planets. And especially when there’s so much electrical energy going on. We were just theorizing that some of the storms in South America that happened recently were connected to this flaring of the and the whole circuitry of energy that was coming back from the sun as well.
Alan Steinfeld
Well, actually, the plasma fields have to do with the next guest I’m going to be talking to, which are these orbs of light that seem to be reflected off the flash from digital cameras, but they’re reflecting off plasma fields that seem to be appearing more and more in the sky. So maybe on Saturday you could talk a little bit about plasma fields and how they fit into new phenomena.
Stephen Popiotek
Absolutely. Because I definitely think some of the orbs are part of a metaphysical manifestation of the plasma fields that are more tangible. Absolutely. I think they’re connected.
Alan Steinfeld
Stephen, thank you. Stephen will be giving that same kind of report in a little more detail at this Orb Conference. We’re going to fit you in along with the major speakers there. And so thank you, Stephen. Your website, emeraldenergies. emerald-energies.com. There’s videos of Stephen on that website.
Stephen Popiotek
You can do a search for my last name which is Popiotek, P-O-P-I-O-T-E-K. Stephen Popiotek, P-O-P-I-O-T-E-K. Thank you Alan.
Alan Steinfeld
Thanks Stephen. We’ll have you on again and actually keep us up to date on this comet because it’s amazing no one else is reporting it and also that you can really just talk about the physical and metaphysical aspects of it as well.
Stephen Popiotek
Thank you. I definitely will try it. Yes.
Alan Steinfeld
Okay. Thanks. We’ll be in touch. Thanks for reporting.
Stephen Popiotek
Good night.
Alan Steinfeld
Good night. Okay, that was Stephen Popiotek, metaphysical teacher here in New York and it’s very interesting that no one is really talking about what’s going on up there. You know, Shakespeare said there are more things in heaven than are dreamed of in our philosophies.
