As<br \/>\npart of their initiation rituals, prospective shamans of the Wiradjuri people,<br \/>\nof southeast New South Wales, Australia, used to believe that they were led<br \/>\nupwards by their spiritual guides to the celestial abode of the supreme god<br \/>\nBaiame.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div><\/div>\n<blockquote class=\"webkit-indent-blockquote\"><p>From an anonymous medicine-man or &#8216;doctor&#8217; of the kangaroo totem<br \/>\nof the Muri subclass of this nation, interviewed before 1887, comes the<br \/>\nfollowing account: &#8220;We went through the clouds, and on the other side was the<br \/>\nsky. We went through the place where the doctors go through, and it kept opening<br \/>\nand shutting very quickly.&#8221; Just so, the Tsimshian, of northern British<br \/>\nColumbia, observed prior to 1909 that the sky, &#8220;a beautiful open country,&#8221; &#8220;is<br \/>\nreached through the hole in the sky &#8230;, which opens and closes.&#8221; The Buryat are<br \/>\nan ethnic minority in Siberia, who envision the sky as a giant inverted &#8216;kettle&#8217;<br \/>\nthat alternately lifts up and comes down to the earth; &#8216;when the cover of the<br \/>\nsky is raised, an opening arises between its rim and that of the<br \/>\nearth.&#8217;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div><\/div>\n<blockquote class=\"webkit-indent-blockquote\"><p>A similar belief was subsumed in the esoteric tradition of<br \/>\nHind?ism. According to this, the universe consists of three layers, the earth,<br \/>\nthe &#8216;air&#8217; or atmosphere, and the sky, that look like &#8216;bricks&#8217; with a perforation<br \/>\nin the centre of each. As the soul of the visionary ascends towards the sky,<br \/>\neach of the three holes must be cleared to make way: &#8220;When the person goes away<br \/>\nfrom this world, he comes to the wind. Then the wind makes room for him, like<br \/>\nthe hole of a carriage wheel, and through it he mounts higher.&#8221; In this<br \/>\nmetaphysical brand of Hind? belief, the &#8220;wind&#8221; behaves suspiciously like what is<br \/>\nnow called the solar wind.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"webkit-indent-blockquote\"><p><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Last fall <a href=\"http:\/\/science.nasa.gov\/headlines\/y2008\/16dec_giantbreach.htm\">NASA scientists found<\/a> &#8220;a giant breach in Earth&#8217;s magnetic field.&#8221; \u00a0Project scientist David Gilbeck said, &#8220;&#8221;This finding fundamentally alters our understanding of the solar wind-magnetosphere interaction.&#8221; \u00a0The writers of the Thunderbolts article add:<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<blockquote class=\"webkit-indent-blockquote\"><p>A computer simulation revealed that two holes frequently develop in the magnetic field of the earth, &#8220;&#8230;one at high latitude over the Northern hemisphere, and one at high latitude over the Southern hemisphere.
