This infrared image shows a striking example of what is called a hierarchical bubble structure, in which one giant bubble, carved into the dust of space by massive stars, has triggered the formation of smaller bubbles. The large bubble takes up the central region of the picture while the two spawned bubbles, which can be seen in yellow, are located within its rim.

NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope took this image in infrared light. The multiple bubble family was found by volunteers participating in the Milky Way Project . This citizen science project, a part of the Zooniverse group, allows anybody with a computer and an Internet connection to help astronomers sift through Spitzer images in search of bubbles blown into the fabric of our Milky Way galaxy.

The bubbles are formed by radiation and winds from massive stars, which carve out holes within surrounding dust clouds. As the material is swept away, it is thought to sometimes trigger the formation of new massive stars, which in turn, blow their own bubbles.

The images in the Milky Way project are from Spitzer’s Galactic Legacy Infrared Mid-Plane Survey Extraordinaire, or Glimpse, project, which is mapping the plane of our galaxy from all directions. As of June 2013, 130 degrees of the sky have been released. The full 360-degree view, which includes the outer reaches of our galaxy located away from its center, is expected soon.

This is the beast in the world of Graphics Processing Units.

Extinction of the dinosaurs. Computer artwork of a group of dinosaurs and flying reptiles fleeing a vast fire. This may have been caused by a volcanic eruption or meteorite impact. Such events have occurred before in Earth’s history, and will do so again. Both events can trigger a lowering of global temperatures as clouds of dust and ash reduce the amount of sunlight reaching the surface. Plant and then animal life dies off. The mass loss of life that included the extinction of the dinosaurs took place some 65 million years ago at the end of the Cretaceous period. The flying reptiles here are Pteranodons, and the quadraped dinosaur are sauropods called Titanosaurs.

Aliens, Egos & Souls: Who Are We in the Big Picture?

Aliens Abduct Egos, Not Souls

Contactees boast of their special relationship with STO (Service-to-Others) aliens. Abductees claim that they are forcefully taken, then physically and psychologically abused by STS (Service-to-Self) aliens. Milabs (military abduct-tees) receive similar treatments from black project personnel. Specialists tell us that millions of humans are presently involved in such programs, whether they know it or not and want it or not. I have met many of them throughout the 44 years that I have researched this subject and I know fully well that the phenomenon is real – and a crucial chapter of humanity’s history.

A World of Illusion and Lies

What can be truly called ‘real’? In fact, we live in a world of illusion where nothing we see, hear, or feel is true. Our experiences are totally deformed by our three ego-governed bodies: 1) The mental body with its false belief systems and distorted thoughts; 2) The vital (astral, emotional) body with its desires, yearnings, passions, and lusts; 3) The physical body with its animal needs and atavistic[1] habits. Nowadays, the new item on the long list of abductee complaints is soul abduction. After being taken from bed to an underground lab or a spaceship, a ‘victim’ is put on a table and plugged to a special black box. With the use of advanced technologies and rituals, a reptilian entity – called a demon by those with a more religious mindset – is inserted into them. In the pre-technological days, this would have been called demonic possession. The scenarios can be more elaborate still. What some people call a human ‘soul’ can be pulled out of a body and transferred to one of the following: 1) A look-alike clone with super-human abilities; 2) Another human; 3) A human-alien hybrid (hubrid); 4) An alien. The possibilities are endless. In some New Age circles, temporarily-possessed individuals have been presented in a positive light and fashionably called channelers. Even more mystically glamourous are walk-ins, who are actually fully-possessed humans. Now, I am not suggesting that such scenarios are all lies. Au contraire, it is as real as it gets! The sudden disappearance of a person, their subsequent personality changes, the physical marks, the missing time, the implanted microchips, poltergeist phenomena, and many more obvious confirmations prove that something very dramatic did take place and, in many instances, keeps taking place over and over. The main problem is that we are missing some crucial information and this stops us from fully understanding the phenomenon of abductions. And with understanding comes power – the power to change things.

Let us look at the phenomenon in a different light. Our present knowledge of Homo sapiens – its history, physiology, and psychology – comes from Western thinking and linear-time scientific research and experimentation. Yet, we shun or consider as passé thousands of years of advanced studies in human consciousness that have accumulated in Asian countries, especially India. My preferred researchers on the subject, by far, are Aurobindo (Ghose) and The Mother (Mirra Alfassa). To their vision of humanity, I will add that of Personocratia[2], in order to see abductions with a new mindset.

Humans Are Very Elaborate Beings

We are taught in our elite-controlled schools that we are simply made up of a physical body with hormones to control our emotions and a brain to generate thoughts and take decisions. If we have a religious mindset, we might add that this body carries a soul. If we are spiritually inclined, we will also add a spirit to the lot. Body + soul + spirit. That is as far as most curious people will go. So, when a person faces the abduction of an invisible part of herself while her physical body remains in bed, she immediately thinks her ‘soul’ or her ‘spirit’ has been stolen. Well, humans are much, much more complicated than that. The disinformation brought about by religion, then scientific materialism, and lastly, New Age ‘spirituality’, has completely falsified our notion of ourselves. In fact, each one of us is made up of five completely different types of vibrations, each containing subsets: five-parts-of-human

Spirit: the Supreme Being, individualized, outside of space-time, forever the same;
Soul: that same individualized spirit, but evolving in space-time;
Mental body: a mental form constantly exchanging with the multiple worlds of thoughts;
Vital body: a vital form in continuous relation with the worlds of vital energies and emotions;
Physical body: a physical form perpetually connected with the material and etheric worlds.

There is one unique individual spirit per being, whether rock, plant, animal, alien, entity, or human – anywhere in the universe. It is both inside and above each individual. Souls are very different. They are a specialty of Earth, which is the planet focusing on the evolution of souls. Other planets have other purposes. To evolve in matter, souls need the dense material vibrations of Earth’s space-time matrix. That is why souls keep coming back there, life after life. Souls are not imprisoned – they plan each new earthly life with an intensity of purpose that we cannot imagine, since to us, our present life is more like hell than heaven. Who would want to come here, with concentration camps, chemtrails, eugenics, mind control, GMOs and nanotechnology, to name a few? Really! Yet, souls do want to incarnate here despite the present situation. It is the only place where they can evolve exactly the way they want.

Humans Suffer From Multiple Personality Disorder

The huge majority of people cannot be aware of either soul or spirit, which vibrate too fast for our regular consciousness. To some extent, most know their three bodies (mental, vital and physical) – at least the more concrete parts of these. However, each body contains numerous egoic personalities that occupy a certain portion of the space-time territory. Where do these come from? Every time a fear awakens in me, I automatically create a partially-conscious envelope around it. The more often this particular fear comes up, the bigger and more personalized this protected layer gets. So, we all suffer from multiple personality disorder. It is just more severe in some than others. Most of us actually have hundreds such personalities, but the dominant ones stand out more than the others. When I say ‘I’, it is only one of the many ‘me’ that is talking at that moment and temporarily controlling my body. I take each one of these personalities to be me because they are using the same vehicle to go around, the same eyes to see, mouth to talk, and ears to hear. Basically, my body is a big bus full of different types of people. None of them understands the highway code. The only one who knows how to drive is my soul. It is patiently sitting at the back of the bus, waiting for the driver’s seat to be empty, but, there is always an egoic personality behind the wheel. Sometimes, the bus gets stopped by a highway bandit: an alien, a demon, a djinn or another type of hungry entity. This being grabs one of the people on the bus and leaves (‘soul’ abduction) or gets onto the bus and tries to drive the vehicle in a new direction (demonic possession). However, nobody can abduct the driver-soul, because it has free will and it is invincible. If the bus crashes (physical death), the driver-soul leaves to rest and plan its new incarnation, but egoic personalities keep on living for a while still. They all go in different directions. Those vibrating at the level of the subtle physical (etheric) hang around for a while, but dissolve pretty fast, since their energies cannot remain for long after their physical vessel has died. The vital egoic personalities go into their corresponding vital (also called emotional or astral) worlds and take longer to dissolve. The mental egoic personalities leave for the mental worlds and take even longer to disappear. These false parts of me still think that they are ‘me’, but they are simply partially-conscious bundles of crystallised energy. If they are not ‘fed’ on a regular basis, they eventually stop existing, but this may take years, sometimes hundreds of years, if they are good at vampirizing humans or other entities from their own worlds. In the subtle worlds, the war for energy is on 24/7, but the notion of time-space differs from one world to the next. Meanwhile, my soul is still alive and well. It is the only immortal part of me in the game of space-time. (Remember that my spirit is outside space-time.) My multiple egoic personalities remain perpetually connected to their corresponding universal worlds, which are swarming with forces and entities. Our bodies are basically public squares where beings, forces, passions, desires, emotions, thoughts, and ideas pour in and out. There is not much there that I can truthfully call ‘me’. Even the cells of my physical body keep being replaced every day. So What Part of Me Can I Call “I”? My soul! Let’s make things clear. A soul is a soul is soul! There are no captive souls, damned souls, lost souls, fallen souls, redeemed souls, and so on. This describes the state of vital or mental egoic personalities that have left the physical body after death and continue ‘living’ in their corresponding vibrational worlds. According to the belief systems of these egoic personalities, they can create their own hell, purgatory, or heaven – at least for a while. They may get stuck there for various lengths of time, and are often used by aliens and/or demons for a variety of purposes: food source, usable container’ to inhabit in order to perform certain tasks, etc. Eventually, but this may take hundreds, even thousands of years of our time, these egoic personalities figure out that they can accept dissolution. They agree to die and allow their energies to join with the Supreme. But that is not a real person dying. It is a temporary, partially-conscious bundle of energy that continues to think it is called Mrs. Smith or Mr. Jones. The real soul is something totally different. It is the Supreme Being, individualized and evolving in space-time. Its evolution can only take place on Earth, which is the planet that has been designed to house this very particular type of divine experience. A crucial part of its evolution starts when it incarnates into a human body for the first time. Because this type of vehicle carries a more advanced mind than that of animals, the soul now has access to an advanced mind. It just went from a Volkswagen (dolphin, elephant, monkey, cat) to a Lamborghini (human) and now rides in a vehicle with ‘free’ will! Indeed, human bodies are the only ones with the ability to go against nature. Unlike other animal and biological alien species, they do not have to blindly obey a deva (the ruling god of a species). That particularity has proven to be both a curse and a blessing. When a physical human body dies, its subtle physical (etheric) component dies off in about seven days. The many personalities of the vital body take various times, according to many different factors. Mental personalities last longer, but eventually dissolve also. Meanwhile, the soul takes a separate road after the physical body dies. We cannot see it leave the body, because its vibrations are much too fast. It simply retires in its own world of perfect truth and bliss. Its evolution stops for a while, until it is ready to come back into a new earthbound human body.

True Free Will

The only time we can really talk about ‘free’ will is when an egoic personality chooses freely to go against the regular program of its corresponding world – with its laws, forces, and entities – and decides to do the soul’s biding. This free will is exercised every time I let go of an old attachment or an obsolete role, or when I do something that I am afraid of doing. In this way, a fear is dissolved, along with the egoic personality that has formed itself around it. The particular territory that was controlled by that personality now becomes souled. This is how, during each life, the soul is able to grow and gain more territory. What it collects becomes immortal and totally pure, while keeping the particularities of its own vibrational world. After many incarnations on Earth inside human bodies, the soul has gathered around itself an immortal triple body, what Aurobindo calls a psychic being and Personocratia, a souled body. This is how a human soul slowly grows, just like a chick inside an egg. The physical flesh-and-bone human body is simply its most external shell. This immortal soul is not attached to anything from its earlier incarnations. Previous parents, children, lovers, roles, reputation, career, race, culture, religion, power, money, prestige, and possessions are no longer important. Egoic personalities are the ones that remain attached to past lifetimes or present-life family members, lovers, or accomplishments. The soul never looks back. It is forever looking forward, to its next evolutionary sequence.

Spirit is Spirit is Spirit

Another totally-misconceived word is ‘spirit’. People talk about the world of spirit as opposed to the world of matter. For most spiritual seekers, anything that is not measurable by human senses or their technological extensions becomes spiritual. Entities of any invisible world and all wandering egoic personalities become ‘spirits’. Nothing could be further from the truth! Most ghosts are actually the egoic personalities of dead people or entities from the subtle worlds who are using the shape of the departed to feed on the living or use them for specific purposes. Yet, we call ghosts ‘spirits’ of the dead. Elementals of the subtle physical worlds are named nature ‘spirits’, and aggressive etheric or vital entities, demon ‘spirits’. In reality, spirit is the original divine vibration that precedes, generates, and inhabits all forms, beings, and forces found in an infinity of vibrational worlds – tangible and intangible, temporal and timeless. “It is the original and eternal source of all. Spirit is everywhere and inside everything. It lies beyond birth and death, and is forever unchanging.” (Personocratia’s Booklet 3: Religion towards…Idessity). In reality, there is one sole spirit that expresses itself both universally and individually at the same time. This phenomenon is called holography: each part contains the whole. The mixed-up vocabulary and false notions used in religions, cults, and most spiritualities has been purposely jumbled to keep us misinformed and easier to control.

Most Aliens Are Not Extraterrestrials

Many abductees describe their captors as Small Grey aliens with two large black eyes. These are actually cloned organic robots used as avatars[1] for other interdimensional aliens falling in numerous categories: Tall Greys, Reptilians, Mantids, Snakes, Nordics, and many more. Most of these Small Greys are made in secret laboratories inside DUMBs (Deep Underground Military Bases), which should actually be called DUMABs (Deep Underground Military-Alien Bases), since aliens are deeply involved in running the show. Abductees have described many types of aliens. However, there is no way of knowing if these are: 1) Clones from DUMABs; 2) Inhabitants of deep cave systems; 3) Inner Earth dwellers (Agartha – hollow Earth theory); 4) Beings from secret bases on the moon, Venus, Mars, Saturn, or other planets of our solar system; 5) Beings from other star systems or galaxies; 6) Beings from parallel dimensions; 7) Beings from the past or the future. The choice is yours! But never take their word for granted, since many if not most are shape shifters and inveterate liars who know more about human psychology than the best psychologists and car salesmen. Most aliens cannot endure the extremely dense frequency of Earth, so they have to use avatars to go around. These can be: 1) Artificial life forms (e.g. Small Greys); 2) Clones of real aliens that have been genetically modified to endure the Earth’s environment; 3) Human-alien hybrids (hubrids); 4) Possessed human clones; 5) Microchipped humans; 6) Mind-controlled humans; 7) Possessed humans; 8) Any combination of these. Therefore, you can no longer think that an alien automatically comes from another planet. Nor can you be sure that a regular-looking human is not a hubrid or a person controlled by an alien, demonic entity, or something even weirder. In a world of lies, even the most inspiring human guru, beautiful angel, wise ascended master, or gentle alien can hide the most wicked, deceitful, lustful, treacherous demon. I will be able to tell the difference if I am blinded by false beliefs and desperately looking for a savior. Worse still, abductees (taken away without their consent) and contactees (taken willingly) have alien experiences that often turn out to be non-physical and mixed with mind control. Many are being fed a false alien scenario, which is downloaded directly into their brain. They remember interacting with aliens, but these could simply be military personnel or demons of the vital worlds taking a special shape and saying the lies that best suit their purpose. Demons are extremely skillful at using bodies as avatars, since they cannot manifest physically. They have the choice of inhabiting humans, hubrids, aliens, clones of all types, biorobots, animals, plants, magical objects, etc. This works best above cosmo-telluric power places (stargates), especially where sacred geometry increases their power of manifestation: cathedrals, castles, standing stones, pyramids, crop circles, etc. The whole phenomenon of alien life is riddled with misconceptions, disinformation, and out-and-out lies. And the human mind is so limited, that there is no way we can really understand what is going on. One thing is sure: if you see an alien and it tells you it comes from another planet or galaxy, your best bet is to assume that it is lying! As for their crafts, most physical UFOs are man-made and the human elite owns technology that is thousands of years in advance of what is officially disclosed. As sci-fi author Arthur C. Clarke wrote: “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” Those UFOs that are not man-made are much more ethereal than we imagine. Such UFOs can shapeshift into whatever form is needed for the purpose at hand: hot air balloon, flying saucer, cloud, airplane, bird, angel, dragon, etc.
All Humans Are Hubrids
Shapeshifting Beyonce

Shapeshifting Beyonce

What do Obama and Beyonce have in common? They are probably hubrids: human-alien hybrids. Actually, all humans are hubrids, since Homo sapiens was modified many times in the past by aliens and their masters to suit their purpose. That explains the various races on the planet. Obama, Beyonce and most of the famous and powerful are improved hubrids that are more ‘possessable’, thus easily controlled by their owners. Their abnormally-large vital bodies allow them to be charismatic (Pope Francis) and to perform occult tricks (Chris Angel). Contactees, abductees and milabs are often such hubrids and most of them have psychic powers that are put in the service of their masters. Whether the being possessing a hubrid is an alien or a demon makes no difference. The problem is that we keep bowing down to them and offering them our vital energy in various forms: awe, admiration, lust, jealousy, envy, anger, hate, obedience, reverence, etc. There is no reason for them to stop this power game, since we give them what they crave. If we want things to change, we will have to change ourselves. We cannot count on the lies and deceptions of aliens and their demonic buddies. The problem is that we do not know who we really are. We still consider ourselves lesser than aliens and invisible entities. Nothing could be further from the truth. It’s time that we acknowledge our true identity!

Aliens and Demons Live in the World of Illusion

Many researchers in the field claim that aliens-demons or ADs (let us link them together, as they work as partners) have been running the show for millions of Earth years, both on our planet and elsewhere in the universe. They call the highest level of control the demiurge, a term first coined by Plato and later adopted by the Gnostics. Others call this top honcho Lucifer or the Great Architect. Christians call it God and Muslims, Allah. It is the god in charge of the mental, vital, and physical worlds that are in relation with planet Earth. I like to call it the god of illusion. As we saw earlier, a human being living on Earth owns a very special soul that grows from one incarnation to the next and a special body that is able to host this soul. There have been so many combinations and alterations in the earthbound human body in the past millennia that it can no longer be ruled by a single deva (god of a species). Thus, a human being only has one real boss: its soul, the Supreme Being individualized in space-time. This means that the unlimited, omnipotent, omniscient creator of the whole universe lies hidden inside humans in an individualized format. It can tell each person what to do and creates for each one exactly what is needed to advance its agenda, both on an individual and a universal basis. Realize that humans are individual creators – not because they have an advanced mind, but because they have an advanced soul! On the other hand, most ADs have much more powerful minds than humans and they have access to the subtle worlds. They can ‘read’ what some call the akashic records, where everything that has happened since the inception of the universe is stored, including all possible pasts, presents, and futures. Therefore, ADs can easily get information, but they are limited to their own level of consciousness. They can only decipher deformed versions of the truth. Unlike humans, they do not have access to advanced souls. So, they are stuck in the illusion. They need to feed themselves (often on us) and they eventually die, even if some live for thousands, even millions of years. And with death come fear, hierarchy, war, lies, and deceit.

Humans Are Not Victims

With such powerful souls, humans are not the victims of aliens or demons. They are creators and willing participants in a cosmic experiment. The latter is taking place only on Earth, but its repercussions affect the whole universe. Astronomically speaking, our planet may appear like a small piece of cosmic dust floating among countless galaxies, a tiny grain of sand on a Bahamian beach. However, on a spiritual level, “Earth is the concentrated symbol of the universe. It is much easier to work on one point than to work in a diluted immensity … For the facility and the necessity of the work, the whole universe has been concentrated and symbolically condensed in a grain of sand called Earth.” (The Mother, Entretiens, 1953, my translation) Souls have agreed upon the procedure of this special experiment on Earth. To our souls, the present earthly scenario is going according to expectations. Whatever the elite does, whatever laws it passes on compulsory schooling, smart meters or vaccinations, despite the number of concentration camps it builds and children it rapes, kills and eats in satanic ceremonies, despite GMOs, chemtrails, HAARP, and nanotechnology, it follows the Supreme Being’s plan. There is really nothing to worry about. Yet, there is something we must do – we must change ourselves! We are not, have never been, will never be victims. We are creators!
True Trinity: Creator, Creature and Grace are one and the same

Humans are a trinity: 1) Spirit, the creator of the video game; 2) Soul, the player pushing buttons on the video console; 3) Body, the avatar in the game, with its three main tools – mental, vital, and physical. The trouble is I have forgotten who I really am. I simply think of myself as the avatar in a multi-dimensional game of Dungeons and Dragons. And I swear at the Dungeon Master (god of illusion) when things do not go according to my little egoic mind’s plan. If my soul enlarges, I get to choose an improved avatar for the next incarnation. The more lives my soul experiences, the more evolved it gets, and the better its control on the three bodies.

So, I am never a victim, I am both the creator (spirit) and the player of the game (soul). Yet, I act as if I was strictly the avatar (body) in the game – and I am terrified of dying! However, as a soul, I am immortal and as a spirit, I am timeless. Whatever happens in the game allows my soul to grow in consciousness and enlarge its souled body. And for a soul, the game can be a lot of fun. My soul lives in bliss at all times, whether it is in a body or in between bodies. Ego, the temporary cluster of personalities attached to my present avatar-body, is the one who follows the WSAD program – Work-Suffer-Age-Die. So, when I experience fear, any type of fear, I can automatically conclude that I am identifying with ego, and not soul.

Etheric Personalities Are Not Souls

Most people mistake their souls with either their etheric body or their vital body. Let me explain. All of us are aware of our physical bodies, or at least the concrete part of it. The subtle physical part is often called the etheric body and is well known to healers, dowsers, and shamans. The door connecting our physical body to the etheric body and its corresponding world is the first chakra, below the vertebral column. The etheric body houses several personalities, which are often mistakenly, called the ‘soul’. They can easily interact with the world of the subtle physical, the realm of electromagnetic and scalar energies, elementals (gnomes, undines, sylphs, salamanders) and other nature ‘spirits’, crytozoological creatures (sasquatch, lake monsters, chupacabras, mothmen, etc.). Most real aliens pop in and out of this etheric realm (Greys, Reptilians, Mantids, Nordics). This is especially true of those who are more physical. They feed on human flesh, blood, or secretions, reproduce sexually or through cloning, have babies, and use technology to travel around and accomplish tasks.

Vital Personalities Are Not Souls

Astral projection of a vital personality Most people mistake vital egoic personalities with the soul, because these are easy to feel through desires and emotions. Such personalities can easily detach from the physical body to visit the vital worlds. They do so when their unwilling human host is sleeping (dreams) or daydreaming. A willing human can allow her vital personalities to detach deliberately through astral projection, or by using psychoactive drugs (LSD, ecstasy, ayahuasca), sound patterns (drumming, binaural beats, music), magic rituals, remote viewing technology, and so on. When you hear people talk about ‘astral-soul matrix’ or ‘soul-body consciousness’, they are referring to one of many vital personalities. These remain attached to the physical body with what is called a silver chord. If this is cut, a large part of the vital body leaves the physical body, which may die unless another vital personality is forcefully inserted: demon, reptilian or other alien, etc. Such replacements are done regularly in secret laboratories, to create interdimensional spies (astral operators) who gather information and even possess other humans. Some abductees and milabs say that their ‘souls’ have been imprisoned inside Faraday cages (electrified metal enclosures) or similar technologies. There is NO way such procedures can work on a real soul, which vibrates at an extremely high frequency and is not affected by electromagnetic and scalar fields. Yet, this is entirely possible for etheric and low vital entities and egoic personalities.

Mental Personalities Are Not Spirit

As mental egoic personalities vibrate at a higher frequency, they are often equated with spirit. The so-called negative entities that live there cannot access the physical world directly. These mental demons (called asura in Sanskrit – Hinduism) use the vital demonic hierarchies and STS aliens of the subtle physical realm to do their job. Our mental egoic personalities are thought forms crystallised around specific beliefs or dogmas, whether religious, moral, or scientific. Most of these have been programmed into us soon after birth and many are intergenerational, dating back thousands of years. Through atavism, they are carried inside invisible portions of the parental DNA. Mental egoic personalities can be modified in many ways (education, media), but they cannot be technologically controlled or abducted like vital personalities. Yet, alien-created religious beliefs can influence humans drastically and stop them from truly understanding their external and internal environments. Be aware that such religious disinformation also includes scientific materialism, which is full of false assumptions. We have been taught that there are invariable physical laws: gravity, inertia, thermodynamics, quantum mechanics, etc. Others talk about universal and cosmic laws. Actually, these are all false, and many have already been proven wrong. In reality, there is only one law: higher frequencies have precedence over lower ones. Therefore, mental personalities are able to affect our vital personalities directly, and the latter can control etheric ones. This also means that soul has priority over mind. Now, that is interesting! Because their frequencies are higher than those of etheric and vital realms, mental vibrations are often mistaken for spiritual vibrations. Some even call the Supreme Being the ‘Universal Mind’. In doing so, they remain at the level of mind, with its worlds of division, right/wrong duality, ethical conduit, justice for all, etc. A very limited and falsified vision of reality, whose vibrations are very low as compared to the highest vibrations of the Supreme Being, which exist far beyond mind, in what Aurobindo calls the supramental (beyond mind) worlds.

Homo Sapiens is a Transitional Being

Acanthostega Homo sapiens was never meant to last forever as an animal species. Just like the Acanthostega was the transition between fish and amphibians and the Archaeopterix was the short-lived temporary species between reptiles and birds, humanity is an intermediate link between two reigns: animality and divinity. This leap is much bigger than just another new species, genus, or any other taxonomic category manifesting for the first time. It is bigger than passing from the non-living mineral to the living vegetal kingdom. We are talking about a new being, with “a body made up of a new matter that has unlimited and instantaneous creative powers.”[1] A divine being with all of the divine attributes! Aurobindo describes this new matter as “more fluid than a gas and harder than a diamond”. (Evening Talks) Don’t worry about the survival of our species. With chemtrails, GMOs, radiation, pesticides, rampant Satanism, the New World Order, the medical mafia (vaccines, cancer and AIDS treatments, toxic pharmaceuticals), nuclear radiation, and mind control, Homo sapiens is doomed. It has served its purpose and is now finishing its mandate. No problem. We are not humans – we are souls getting ready to switch from a gas-guzzling Hummer-type human body to a free-energy stargate-jumping divine body. Nothing to cry about!

The Answer is Not Technological, Chemical or Magical

Please, don’t read my car analogy wrong. I am not saying that the answer is technological. Quite the opposite! Technology is simply a lazy person’s answer to her dreams of infinite powers. I would rather continue to use limited and limiting devices (computers, cell phones, microchips, free energy machines) than become who I really am: an omniscient, omnipotent, invincible, immortal, all-loving being! The use of technology actually slows down the evolution of consciousness, unless it is soul-guided. The manifestation of a divine being made up of divine matter does not rely on transhumanism and its GRIN technologies – Genetics, Robotics, Artificial Intelligence, and Nanotechnology. Nor is the solution chemical, through drug-induced states of consciousness or by other artificial or magical means (ayahuasca, LSD, numerology, Kabbalah, binaural beats, rituals, sacrifices). We cannot force the evolution of consciousness in such a way, and even less the transformation of human into divine beings. Neither can such a change be provoked by an external facilitator, through a Oneness Blessing (deeksha), despite Amma Bhagavan’s claim, founder of the Oneness University: “Man cannot make it on his own; it has to be given to him.” Indeed, but not by another human. Rather, the body must surrender its free will to its soul and follow its injunctions blindly. So, forget any type of external help: shamanism, reiki, drugs, magic, gurus, religions, mystery schools, secret societies, channelling, walk-ins, ley lines, and sacred sites. In the past, these helped the evolution of consciousness. Now, they hinder our transformation.
No, Thanks!

Let us go back to the subject of abductions, aliens, and demonic entities. As a human being, I am perpetually bathing in subtle worlds brimming with forces and beings of all types. Personally, I am not a milab, abductee, or contactee, but like all humans, I am surrounded by invisible beings who attempt to influence me and feed on me – 24/7. However, whether they are human, alien, demonic, I am never a victim. I am always a participant. The solution is obvious: I must learn to say “no, thanks!” to all those entities. “No, thanks. And don’t bother asking again.” Refusing their offers and repelling their attacks works only if I am sincere. In most cases, one or more of my egoic personalities agree to play the game, whether it is physical or subtle in nature. One part of me wants the contact or abduction in order to feel wanted and special. This fulfills my desire to be more powerful and important than other ‘normal’ humans who do not face such ordeals. Abductees and contactees are told they have been ‘chosen’. Milabs are taken by the military because they are already abductees whose occult powers can be used to participate in delicate missions. To be liberated from military/alien/demonic influence, I must dissolve the egoic personalities that profit from their actions. These parts of me must accept to die and I have to face the void. I must continue living while I have the impression of being nothing. A very uncomfortable experience! The problem is that I identify with my ego, not my soul. I remain so attached to my present-day egoic personalities that I cannot imagine being anything else. Who am I if I am no longer a milab/abductee/contactee? Surrendering my free will to my soul, that part of me about which I know nothing, that I cannot hear and hardly feel, requires immense courage. Aurobindo summarizes this quite well: “Ego must disappear and be replaced by the true spiritual person, the central being, and life itself must be turned towards the fulfillment of the Divine in terrestrial existence; it must feel a Divine Force awaking within it and become an obedient instrumentation of its purpose.” (The Synthesis of Yoga by Aurobindo)

The Transformation Happens Here and Now

There have been many advanced civilizations before ours. Every time humanity on Earth became too technological or magical, and erred away from its mission – the manifestation of a divine being made out of divinized matter – some cosmic event brought about a planet cleansing. The destruction of Atlantis and Noah’s Great Flood are simply two recent ‘resets’. Courtney Brown, a remote viewing specialist, summed it up well in a recent interview: “You need a million years of uninterrupted growth for a civilization to really mature and do something. You can’t grind it down to a pulp every twenty-five thousand years or sixty thousand years and expect it to start all over again, where there is no memory of what happened before. And this is what happens regularly [on Earth]… We have these pole shifts that happen regularly, we have these coronal mass ejections that happen every two thousand years that ruin all the electrical stuff… This is not a good planet to have a long-term civilization on.” You are right, Courtney, but it is a perfect planet for the evolution of souls and the creation of a new reign in matter! What is coming now is not a ‘reset’. It is an apocalypse, a Greek word that means “revelation, disclosure of what has been concealed”. The present climatic and geological changes on Earth and other planets of our solar system are evident proof that something big is coming. However, it is much more than just a regular mass-extinction event, much bigger than the end of a cycle. It is the end of ALL cycles! It is the beginning of a new kingdom: divine beings made out of divine matter and living divine lives outside of the space-time illusion. For the divine chicks to hatch, they must break their shells. This has already started in the invisible realms, but we cannot yet see it in the concrete material world. In order for the shells to crack open, we need a critical mass of human beings who surrender to their souls and allow the immensely powerful energies of spirit to transform their mortal and limited human bodies into immortal, unlimited divine bodies. When this critical mass is reached, aliens and entities that have been feeding on humans will simply disappear. Now, you finally understand why they are so desperate at stopping this emergence of divine beings by all means possible: microchipping, hybridization, GMOs, chemtrails, radiation, abductions, etc. With their time machines, they are able to see the future. They know that they will not succeed. They can only delay the inevitable. Even if the transformation of willing humans into divine beings is inescapable, we need to participate willingly to the birthing process. How can we help? Each one of us needs to say “No, thanks!” to the skillful maneuvers of ADs. And don’t think that Jesus, son of God, or any other past spiritual teachers, can help you. This may have worked in the past, but that time is over. Don’t expect either that good, STO aliens (Service-To-Other) will tell us how to get the job done. They can no longer help, because this is a first-time-ever event. Only our souls know how to proceed, and they are hidden inside our bodies! Our transformation into divine beings rests in our own hands. We must refuse to participate as willing contactees, abductees, or milabs, even if it means the death of our physical bodies. After all, as humans, we own immortal, forever-evolving souls. Aliens and demons don’t! We do not need to be afraid. They do! All spiritual people are quick to admit that they are divine. Well, it’s time to walk our talk – and trust our souls, at all costs!

Everything you always wanted to know about AC

Are you considering buying a new air conditioner? Or, are you dissatisfied with the operation of your current air conditioner? Are you unsure whether to fix or replace it? Are you concerned about high summer utility bills? If you answered yes to any of these questions, this publication can help. With it, you can learn about various types of air conditioning systems and how to maintain your air conditioner, hire professional air conditioning services, select a new air conditioner, and ensure that your new air conditioner is properly installed.

Understanding Air Conditioners
Many people buy or use air conditioners without understanding their designs, components, and operating principles. Proper sizing, selection, installation, maintenance, and correct use are keys to cost-effective operation and lower overall costs.

How Air Conditioners Work
An Air conditioner employs the same basic operating principle and mechanical components as does your refrigerator. An air conditioner cools your residence or office with a cold indoor coil called the evaporator. The condenser, a hot outdoor coil, releases the collected heat outside. The evaporator and condenser coils are serpentine tubing surrounded by aluminum fins. This tubing is usually made of copper. A pump, called the compressor, moves a heat transfer fluid (or refrigerant) between the evaporator and the condenser. The pump forces the refrigerant through the circuit of tubing and fins in the coils. The liquid refrigerant evaporates in the indoor evaporator coil, pulling heat out of indoor air and thereby cooling the home. The hot refrigerant gas is pumped outdoors into the condenser where it reverts back to a liquid giving up its heat to the air flowing over the condenser’s metal tubing and fins.

Types of Air Conditioners
The basic types of air conditioners are room air conditioners, split-system central air conditioners, and packaged central air conditioners.

Room Air Conditioners
Room air conditioners cool rooms rather than the entire home. If they provide cooling only where they’re needed, room air conditioners are less expensive to operate than central units, even though their efficiency is generally lower than that of central air conditioners.

Smaller room air conditioners (i.e., those drawing less than 7.5 amps of electricity) can be plugged into any 15- or 20-amp, 115-volt household circuit that is not shared with any other major appliances. Larger room air conditioners (i.e., those drawing more than 7.5 amps) need their own dedicated 115-volt circuit. The largest models require a dedicated 230-volt circuit.

Central Air Conditioners
Central air conditioners circulate cool air through a system of supply and return ducts. Supply ducts and registers (i.e., openings in the walls, floors, or ceilings covered by grills) carry cooled air from the air conditioner to the home. This cooled air becomes warmer as it circulates through the home; then it flows back to the central air conditioner through return ducts and registers. A central air conditioner is either a split-system unit or a packaged unit.

In a split-system central air conditioner, an outdoor metal cabinet contains the condenser and compressor, and an indoor cabinet contains the evaporator. In many split-system air conditioners, this indoor cabinet also contains a furnace or the indoor part of a heat pump. The air conditioner’s evaporator coil is installed in the cabinet or main supply duct of this furnace or heat pump. If your home already has a furnace but no air conditioner, a split-system is the most economical central air conditioner to install.

In a packaged central air conditioner, the evaporator, condenser, and compressor are all located in one cabinet, which usually is placed on a roof or on a concrete slab next to the house’s foundation. This type of air conditioner also is used in small commercial buildings. Air supply and return ducts come from indoors through the home’s exterior wall or roof to connect with the packaged air conditioner, which is usually located outdoors. Packaged air conditioners often include electric heating coils or a natural gas furnace. This combination of air conditioner and central heater eliminates the need for a separate furnace indoors.

Maintaining Existing Air Conditioners
Older air conditioners may still be able to offer years of relatively efficient use. However, making your older air conditioner last requires you to perform proper operation and maintenance.

Air Conditioning Problems
One of the most common air conditioning problems is improper operation. If your air conditioner is on, be sure to close your home’s windows and outside doors.

Other common problems with existing air conditioners result from faulty installation, poor service procedures, and inadequate maintenance. Improper installation of your air conditioner can result in leaky ducts and low air flow. Many times, the refrigerant charge (the amount of refrigerant in the system) does not match the manufacturer’s specifications. If proper refrigerant charging is not performed during installation, the performance and efficiency of the unit is impaired. Service technicians often fail to find refrigerant charging problems or even worsen existing problems by adding refrigerant to a system that is already full. Air conditioner manufacturers generally make rugged, high quality products. If your air conditioner fails, it is usually for one of the common reasons listed below:

refrigerant leaks. If your air conditioner is low on refrigerant, either it was undercharged at installation, or it leaks. If it leaks, simply adding refrigerant is not a solution. A trained technician should fix any leak, test the repair, and then charge the system with the correct amount of refrigerant. Remember that the performance and efficiency of your air conditioner is greatest when the refrigerant charge exactly matches the manufacturer’s specification, and is neither undercharged nor overcharged.
inadequate maintenance. If you allow filters and air conditioning coils to become dirty, the air conditioner will not work properly, and the compressor or fans are likely to fail prematurely.
electric control failure. The compressor and fan controls can wear out, especially when the air conditioner turns on and off frequently, as is common when a system is oversized. Because corrosion of wire and terminals is also a problem in many systems, electrical connections and contacts should be checked during a professional service call.
Regular Maintenance
An air conditioner’s filters, coils, and fins require regular maintenance for the unit to function effectively and efficiently throughout its years of service. Neglecting necessary maintenance ensures a steady decline in air conditioning performance while energy use steadily increases.

Air Conditioner Filters
The most important maintenance task that will ensure the efficiency of your air conditioner is to routinely replace or clean its filters. Clogged, dirty filters block normal air flow and reduce a system’s efficiency significantly. With normal air flow obstructed, air that bypasses the filter may carry dirt directly into the evaporator coil and impair the coil’s heat-absorbing capacity. Filters are located somewhere along the return duct’s length. Common filter locations are in walls, ceilings, furnaces, or in the air conditioner itself.

Some types of filters are reusable; others must be replaced. They are available in a variety of types and efficiencies. Clean or replace your air conditioning system’s filter or filters every month or two during the cooling season. Filters may need more frequent attention if the air conditioner is in constant use, is subjected to dusty conditions, or you have fur-bearing pets in the house.

Air Conditioner Coils
The air conditioner’s evaporator coil and condenser coil collect dirt over their months and years of service. A clean filter prevents the evaporator coil from soiling quickly. In time, however, the evaporator coil will still collect dirt. This dirt reduces air flow and insulates the coil which reduces its ability to absorb heat. Therefore, your evaporator coil should be checked every year and cleaned as necessary.

Outdoor condenser coils can also become very dirty if the outdoor environment is dusty or if there is foliage nearby. You can easily see the condenser coil and notice if dirt is collecting on its fins.

You should minimize dirt and debris near the condenser unit. Your dryer vents, falling leaves, and lawn mower are all potential sources of dirt and debris. Cleaning the area around the coil, removing any debris, and trimming foliage back at least 2 feet (0.6 meters) allow for adequate air flow around the condenser.

Coil Fins
The aluminum fins on evaporator and condenser coils are easily bent and can block air flow through the coil. Air conditioning wholesalers sell a tool called a “fin comb” that will comb these fins back into nearly original condition.
Sealing and Insulating Air Ducts
An enormous waste of energy occurs when cooled air escapes from supply ducts or when hot attic air leaks into return ducts. Recent studies indicate that 10% to 30% of the conditioned air in an average central air conditioning system escapes from the ducts.

For central air conditioning to be efficient, ducts must be airtight. Hiring a competent professional service technician to detect and correct duct leaks is a good investment, since leaky ducts may be difficult to find without experience and test equipment. Ducts must be sealed with duct “mastic.” The old standby of duct tape is ineffective for sealing ducts.

Obstructions can impair the efficiency of a duct system almost as much as leaks. You should be careful not to obstruct the flow of air from supply or return registers with furniture, drapes, or tightly fitted interior doors. Dirty filters and clogged evaporator coils can also be major obstructions to air flow.

The large temperature difference between attics and ducts makes heat conduction through ducts almost as big a problem as air leakage and obstructions. Ducts in attics should be insulated heavily in addition to being made airtight.

Buying New Air Conditioners
Today’s best air conditioners use 30% to 50% less energy to produce the same amount of cooling as air conditioners made in the mid 1970s. Even if your air conditioner is only 10 years old, you may save 20% to 40% of your cooling energy costs by replacing it with a newer, more efficient model.

Sizing Air Conditioners
Air conditioners are rated by the number of British Thermal Units (Btu) of heat they can remove per hour. Another common rating term for air conditioning size is the “ton,” which is 12,000 Btu per hour.

How big should your air conditioner be? The size of an air conditioner depends on:
how large your home is and how many windows it has;
how much shade is on your home’s windows, walls, and roof;
how much insulation is in your home’s ceiling and walls;
how much air leaks into your home from the outside; and
how much heat the occupants and appliances in your home generate.

An air conditioner’s efficiency, performance, durability, and initial cost depend on matching its size to the above factors.

Make sure you buy the correct size of air conditioner. Two groupsthe Air Conditioning Contractors of America (ACCA) and the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE)publish calculation procedures for sizing central air conditioners. Reputable air conditioning contractors will use one of these procedures, often performed with the aid of a computer, to size your new central air conditioner.

Be aware that a large air conditioner will not provide the best cooling. Buying an oversized air conditioner penalizes you in the following ways.

It costs more to buy a larger air conditioner than you need.

The larger-than-necessary air conditioner cycles on and off more frequently, reducing its efficiency. Frequent cycling makes indoor temperatures fluctuate more and results in a less comfortable environment. Frequent cycling also inhibits moisture removal. In humid climates, removing moisture is essential for acceptable comfort. In addition, this cycling wears out the compressor and electrical parts more rapidly.

A larger air conditioner uses more electricity and creates added demands on electrical generation and delivery systems.

Air Conditioner Efficiency
Each air conditioner has an energy-efficiency rating that lists how many Btu per hour are removed for each watt of power it draws. For room air conditioners, this efficiency rating is the Energy Efficiency Ratio, or EER. For central air conditioners, it is the Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio, or SEER. These ratings are posted on an Energy Guide Label, which must be conspicuously attached to all new air conditioners. Many air conditioner manufacturers are participants in the voluntary EnergyStar® labeling program (see Source List in this publication). EnergyStar-labeled appliances mean that they have high EER and SEER ratings.

In general, new air conditioners with higher EERs or SEERs sport higher price tags. However, the higher initial cost of an energy-efficient model will be repaid to you several times during its life span. Your utility company may encourage the purchase of a more efficient air conditioner by rebating some or all of the price difference. Buy the most efficient air conditioner you can afford, especially if you use (or think you will use) an air conditioner frequently and/or if your electricity rates are high.

Room Air ConditionersEER
Room air conditioners generally range from 5,500 Btu per hour to 14,000 Btu per hour. National appliance standards require room air conditioners built after January 1, 1990, to have an EER of 8.0 or greater. Select a room air conditioner with an EER of at least 9.0 if you live in a mild climate. If you live in a hot climate, select one with an EER over 10.

The Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers reports that the average EER of room air conditioners rose 47% from 1972 to 1991. If you own a 1970s-vintage room air conditioner with an EER of 5 and you replace it with a new one with an EER of 10, you will cut your air conditioning energy costs in half.

Central Air ConditionersSEER
National minimum standards for central air conditioners require a SEER of 9.7 and 10.0, for single-package and split-systems, respectively. But you do not need to settle for the minimum standardthere is a wide selection of units with SEERs reaching nearly 17.

Before 1979, the SEERs of central air conditioners ranged from 4.5 to 8.0. Replacing a 1970s-era central air conditioner with a SEER of 6 with a new unit having a SEER of 12 will cut your air conditioning costs in half.

Hiring Professional Service
When your air conditioner needs more than the regular maintenance described previously, hire a professional service technician. A well-trained technician will find and fix problems in your air conditioning system. However, not all service technicians are competent. Incompetent service technicians forsake proper diagnosis and perform only minimal stop-gap measures. Insist that the technician:

check for correct amount of refrigerant;
test for refrigerant leaks using a leak detector;
capture any refrigerant that must be evacuated from the system, instead of illegally releasing it to the atmosphere;
check for and seal duct leakage in central systems;
measure air flow through the evaporator coil;
verify the correct electric control sequence and make sure that the heating system and cooling system cannot operate simultaneously;
inspect electric terminals, clean and tighten connections, and apply a non-conductive coating if necessary;
oil motors and check belts for tightness and wear;
check the accuracy of the thermostat.
Choosing a Contractor
Choosing a contractor may be the most important and difficult task in buying a new central air conditioning system. Ask prospective contractors for recent references. If you are replacing your central air conditioner, tell your contractor what you liked and did not like about the old system. If the system failed, ask the contractor to find out why. The best time to fix existing problems is when a new system is being installed.

When designing your new air conditioning system, the contractor you choose should:

use a computer program or written calculation procedure to size the air conditioner;
provide a written contract listing the main points of your installation that includes the results of the cooling load calculation;
give you a written warranty on equipment and workmanship;
allow you to hold the final payment until you are satisfied with the new system.
Avoid making your decision solely on the basis of price. The quality of the installation should be your highest priority, because quality will determine energy cost, comfort, and durability.

Installation and Location of Air Conditioners
If your air conditioner is installed correctly, or if major installation problems are found and fixed, it will perform efficiently for years with only minor routine maintenance. However, many air conditioners are not installed correctly. As an unfortunate result, modern energy-efficient air conditioners can perform almost as poorly as older inefficient models.

Be sure that your contractor performs the following procedures when installing a new central air conditioning system:

allows adequate indoor space for the installation, maintenance, and repair of the new system, and installs an access door in the furnace or duct to provide a way to clean the evaporator coil.
uses a duct-sizing methodology such as the Air Conditioning Contractors of America (ACCA) Manual D.
ensures there are enough supply registers to deliver cool air and enough return air registers to carry warm house air back to the air conditioner.
installs duct work within the conditioned space, not in the attic, wherever possible.
seals all ducts with duct mastic and heavily insulates attic ducts.
locates the condensing unit where its noise will not keep you or your neighbors awake at night, if possible.
places the condensing unit in a shady spot, if possible, which can reduce your air conditioning costs by 1% to 2%.
verifies that the newly installed air conditioner has the exact refrigerant charge and air flow rate specified by the manufacturer.
locates the thermostat away from heat sources, such as windows, or supply registers.
If you are replacing an older or failed split system, be sure that the evaporator coil is replaced with a new one that exactly matches the condenser coil in the new condensing unit. (The air conditioner’s efficiency will likely not improve if the existing evaporator coil is left in place; in fact, the old coil could cause the new compressor to fail prematurely.)

If you install a new room air conditioner, try to:

locate the air conditioner in a window or wall area near the center of the room and on the shadiest side of the house.
minimize air leakage by fitting the room air conditioner snugly into its opening and sealing gaps with a foam weatherstripping material.
Paying attention to your air conditioning system saves you money and reduces environmental pollution. Notice whether your existing system is running properly, and maintain it regularly. Or, if you need to purchase a new air conditioner, be sure it is sized and installed correctly and has a good EER or SEER rating.

You should be careful not to obstruct the flow of air from supply or return registers with furniture, drapes, or tightly fitted interior doors. Dirty filters and clogged evaporator coils can also be major obstructions to air flow.

The large temperature difference between attics and ducts makes heat conduction through ducts almost as big a problem as air leakage and obstructions. Ducts in attics should be insulated heavily in addition to being made airtight.

Buying New Air Conditioners
Today’s best air conditioners use 30% to 50% less energy to produce the same amount of cooling as air conditioners made in the mid 1970s. Even if your air conditioner is only 10 years old, you may save 20% to 40% of your cooling energy costs by replacing it with a newer, more efficient model.

Sizing Air Conditioners
Air conditioners are rated by the number of British Thermal Units (Btu) of heat they can remove per hour. Another common rating term for air conditioning size is the “ton,” which is 12,000 Btu per hour.

How big should your air conditioner be? The size of an air conditioner depends on:
how large your home is and how many windows it has;
how much shade is on your home’s windows, walls, and roof;
how much insulation is in your home’s ceiling and walls;
how much air leaks into your home from the outside; and
how much heat the occupants and appliances in your home generate.

An air conditioner’s efficiency, performance, durability, and initial cost depend on matching its size to the above factors.

Make sure you buy the correct size of air conditioner. Two groupsthe Air Conditioning Contractors of America (ACCA) and the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE)publish calculation procedures for sizing central air conditioners. Reputable air conditioning contractors will use one of these procedures, often performed with the aid of a computer, to size your new central air conditioner.

Be aware that a large air conditioner will not provide the best cooling. Buying an oversized air conditioner penalizes you in the following ways.

It costs more to buy a larger air conditioner than you need.

The larger-than-necessary air conditioner cycles on and off more frequently, reducing its efficiency. Frequent cycling makes indoor temperatures fluctuate more and results in a less comfortable environment. Frequent cycling also inhibits moisture removal. In humid climates, removing moisture is essential for acceptable comfort. In addition, this cycling wears out the compressor and electrical parts more rapidly.

A larger air conditioner uses more electricity and creates added demands on electrical generation and delivery systems.

Air Conditioner Efficiency
Each air conditioner has an energy-efficiency rating that lists how many Btu per hour are removed for each watt of power it draws. For room air conditioners, this efficiency rating is the Energy Efficiency Ratio, or EER. For central air conditioners, it is the Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio, or SEER. These ratings are posted on an Energy Guide Label, which must be conspicuously attached to all new air conditioners. Many air conditioner manufacturers are participants in the voluntary EnergyStar® labeling program (see Source List in this publication). EnergyStar-labeled appliances mean that they have high EER and SEER ratings.

In general, new air conditioners with higher EERs or SEERs sport higher price tags. However, the higher initial cost of an energy-efficient model will be repaid to you several times during its life span. Your utility company may encourage the purchase of a more efficient air conditioner by rebating some or all of the price difference. Buy the most efficient air conditioner you can afford, especially if you use (or think you will use) an air conditioner frequently and/or if your electricity rates are high.

Room Air ConditionersEER
Room air conditioners generally range from 5,500 Btu per hour to 14,000 Btu per hour. National appliance standards require room air conditioners built after January 1, 1990, to have an EER of 8.0 or greater. Select a room air conditioner with an EER of at least 9.0 if you live in a mild climate. If you live in a hot climate, select one with an EER over 10.

The Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers reports that the average EER of room air conditioners rose 47% from 1972 to 1991. If you own a 1970s-vintage room air conditioner with an EER of 5 and you replace it with a new one with an EER of 10, you will cut your air conditioning energy costs in half.

Central Air ConditionersSEER
National minimum standards for central air conditioners require a SEER of 9.7 and 10.0, for single-package and split-systems, respectively. But you do not need to settle for the minimum standardthere is a wide selection of units with SEERs reaching nearly 17.

Before 1979, the SEERs of central air conditioners ranged from 4.5 to 8.0. Replacing a 1970s-era central air conditioner with a SEER of 6 with a new unit having a SEER of 12 will cut your air conditioning costs in half.

Hiring Professional Service
When your air conditioner needs more than the regular maintenance described previously, hire a professional service technician. A well-trained technician will find and fix problems in your air conditioning system. However, not all service technicians are competent. Incompetent service technicians forsake proper diagnosis and perform only minimal stop-gap measures. Insist that the technician:

check for correct amount of refrigerant;
test for refrigerant leaks using a leak detector;
capture any refrigerant that must be evacuated from the system, instead of illegally releasing it to the atmosphere;
check for and seal duct leakage in central systems;
measure air flow through the evaporator coil;
verify the correct electric control sequence and make sure that the heating system and cooling system cannot operate simultaneously;
inspect electric terminals, clean and tighten connections, and apply a non-conductive coating if necessary;
oil motors and check belts for tightness and wear;
check the accuracy of the thermostat.
Choosing a Contractor
Choosing a contractor may be the most important and difficult task in buying a new central air conditioning system. Ask prospective contractors for recent references. If you are replacing your central air conditioner, tell your contractor what you liked and did not like about the old system. If the system failed, ask the contractor to find out why. The best time to fix existing problems is when a new system is being installed.

When designing your new air conditioning system, the contractor you choose should:

use a computer program or written calculation procedure to size the air conditioner;
provide a written contract listing the main points of your installation that includes the results of the cooling load calculation;
give you a written warranty on equipment and workmanship;
allow you to hold the final payment until you are satisfied with the new system.
Avoid making your decision solely on the basis of price. The quality of the installation should be your highest priority, because quality will determine energy cost, comfort, and durability.

Installation and Location of Air Conditioners
If your air conditioner is installed correctly, or if major installation problems are found and fixed, it will perform efficiently for years with only minor routine maintenance. However, many air conditioners are not installed correctly. As an unfortunate result, modern energy-efficient air conditioners can perform almost as poorly as older inefficient models.

Be sure that your contractor performs the following procedures when installing a new central air conditioning system:

allows adequate indoor space for the installation, maintenance, and repair of the new system, and installs an access door in the furnace or duct to provide a way to clean the evaporator coil.
uses a duct-sizing methodology such as the Air Conditioning Contractors of America (ACCA) Manual D.
ensures there are enough supply registers to deliver cool air and enough return air registers to carry warm house air back to the air conditioner.
installs duct work within the conditioned space, not in the attic, wherever possible.
seals all ducts with duct mastic and heavily insulates attic ducts.
locates the condensing unit where its noise will not keep you or your neighbors awake at night, if possible.
places the condensing unit in a shady spot, if possible, which can reduce your air conditioning costs by 1% to 2%.
verifies that the newly installed air conditioner has the exact refrigerant charge and air flow rate specified by the manufacturer.
locates the thermostat away from heat sources, such as windows, or supply registers.
If you are replacing an older or failed split system, be sure that the evaporator coil is replaced with a new one that exactly matches the condenser coil in the new condensing unit. (The air conditioner’s efficiency will likely not improve if the existing evaporator coil is left in place; in fact, the old coil could cause the new compressor to fail prematurely.)

If you install a new room air conditioner, try to:

locate the air conditioner in a window or wall area near the center of the room and on the shadiest side of the house.
minimize air leakage by fitting the room air conditioner snugly into its opening and sealing gaps with a foam weatherstripping material.
Paying attention to your air conditioning system saves you money and reduces environmental pollution. Notice whether your existing system is running properly, and maintain it regularly. Or, if you need to purchase a new air conditioner, be sure it is sized and installed correctly and has a good EER or SEER rating.
