Unless you are in Africa to view the totality of the November 3, 2013 Hybrid Solar Eclipse in person, you might want to meditate, pray and conduct ceremony during the eclipse at these times:
(1) at the moment of sunrise - Annularity - 15 SECONDS - from 11:05:21 seconds UT to 11:05:36 seconds UT;
(2) at the moment of greatest eclipse over Africa - 99 SECONDS - at 14:27 UT;
(3) at the last moment of eclipse at sunset over Somalia - LESS THAN A SECOND - at 14:27 UT; and
(4) with a general focus during the entire eclipse time-span: 10:05 UT to 15:28 UT .
No matter where you are on earth - whether you can see the eclipse or not - you can still bring your consciousness to it as mentioned above. The path starts in the Atlantic east of Florida, moves southward as it travels east, and crosses central Africa. Below is the timing for its journey.
NOTE: if you are on the East Coast of the U.S. you will be able to see the the eclipse at sunrise on November 3, 2013. This is truly amazing as you will be seeing the eclipse in its extremely brief Annular state, appearing for only 15 SECONDS as a Ring of Fire. (See the sections/links entitled 'Stats' and 'Hybrid' for more information on Hybrid eclipses and for a full list of all places where the eclipse can be seen)
Also: on the East Coast of the United States, Daylight Savings Time ends at 2am on November 3rd, so if you are getting up to watch the eclipse, set your clocks forward one hour before calculating your viewing time.
If you are in one of the viewing areas, you might consider doing your meditation, prayer and ceremony OUTSIDE while watching the eclipse. Just be careful - don't look directly at the Sun! IMPORTANT: never look directly at a solar eclipse! Safe viewing information can be found here: http://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/SEhelp/safety.html
DETAILED TIMING & LOCATION
of YOUR CONSCIOUSNESS GAZE
Following the Eye of the Eclipse:
Please adjust for your time zone. You can convert the time at this website: http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html
(1) The eclipse experience occurs from 10:05 UT to 15:28 UT on November 3, 2013.
(2) The eclipse experience begins at 10:05 UT as the Moon's shadow strikes the Earth at SUNRISE in the North Atlantic Ocean about 621 miles due east of Jacksonville Florida, about midway between Bermuda and Puerto Rico.
(3) At this point, there will be a 15-SECOND ANNULAR Eclipse - a Ring of Fire - from 11:05:21 seconds UT to 11:05:36 seconds UT. This is VERY important, whether you can see it or not. It is a sudden and fleeting flash of light and information, and very unique. (Note: this is the Annular part of the Hybrid eclipse: see the section/link below entitled 'Hybrid' for more information.)
(4) Then the moment of greatest eclipse (Totality) occurs over the Atlantic Ocean at 12:47:36 UT, approximately 200 miles southwest of Liberia. Totality lasts for 99 SECONDS (1 minute 39 seconds). Many eclipse watchers will be in GABON, AFRICA to view Totality.
(5) Next the eclipse will be seen at 12:50 UT over the following locations: the Congo, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Uganda and Kenya.
(6) The last view of the eclipse will occur at SUNSET, over Somalia at 14:27 UT. Somalia is an extremely dangerous location. So westerners will not be able to attempt to see the eclipse here. But it will present a strange and rare twist - it will last literally for LESS THAN ONE SECOND and could resemble a diamond tiara (!)
(7) The entire eclipse experience ends at 15:28 UT as the shadow races off surface of the earth.
This Hybrid Eclipse is quite amazing! Here is an informational video showing the path and details of the eclipse: http://ow.ly/q2eX9
AND Here is a video of the eclipse path across the earth. Please take a look at it, it will help you to Synch up your gaze with the gaze of the Eclipse Eye: http://shadowandsubstance.com/
This page has a lot of information on the eclipse:
As mentioned above: the Total Eclipse portion of the Hybrid eclipse will be seen over Africa. The Annular (Ring of Fire) portion will be seen from the east coast of the U.S. HOWEVER the eclipse will be seen from many other places.
