Before we can understand how Geo and Electromagnetic fields effect the intensity of haunts and spirit activity, we must try to explain where these fields come from. Lets look at Solar Flares: Solar flares are caused by the magnetic field of the sun. The coronal hole, is where particles can escape from the sun without being stopped by the magnetic field. These particles whiz by Earth about 5 days later, with a speed of about 700 kilometers per second, or 1.5 million miles per hour. They then cause auroras or polar lights, cause interference in radio reception, and mess up the navigation of birds. The most violent events on the surface of the Sun are sudden eruptions called solar flares. Flares typically last a few minutes and can release energies equivalent to millions of hydrogen bombs. Flares become frequent near sunspot maximum, when smaller flares can occur daily and large flares can occur about once a week. During a flare the material in the flare may be heated to temperatures of 10 million K; matter at these temperatures emits copious amounts of UV and x-ray, as well as visible light. In addition, flares tend to eject matter, primarily in the form or protons and electrons, into space at velocities that can approach 1000 km/second. These events are called coronal mass ejection's, and produce bursts in the solar wind that influence much of the rest of the Solar System, including the Earth. The observation of a large flare on the surface of the Sun is usually a signal for increased auroras and related activity several days hence when the ejected burst reaches Earth. Although the cause of flares is not completely understood, they are known to be associated with the magnetic field of the Sun. One favored explanation is that they occur when magnetic fields in the Sun pointing in opposite directions interact strongly with each other. Such a situation can be brought about by the churning motion of solar material near the surface, and is more likely during periods of the active sun. Thus, there typically is a correlation between the frequency of flares and the number of sunspots. Solar flares are tremendous explosions on the surface of the Sun. In a matter of just a few minutes they heat material to many millions of degrees and release as much energy as a billion megatons of TNT. They occur near sunspots, usually along the dividing line (neutral line) between areas of oppositely directed magnetic fields. Flares release energy in many forms - Electromagnetic (Gamma rays and X-rays), energetic particles (protons and electrons), and mass flows. Flares are characterized by their brightness in X-rays (x-ray flux). The biggest flares are X-Class flares. M-Class flares have a tenth the energy and C-Class flares have a tenth of the X-ray flux seen in M-Class flares. Since spirit energies are believed to be made up of both Geo and Electromagnetic, these solar flares, when they occur, deliver a charge of energy in which we believe that spirits of the once living pull these energies and therefore increase in energy and intensity. The Lunar phase is also believed to play a role in energies for spirits, such as new and full moons.
