Why such a close affiliation with the sun?

[Tenet Nosce]

On that note as well, what is the spiritual significance of increasing solar activity such as sunspots and flares?

The electromagnetic effects can increase the distortion of a channel, and we each, in our own way, are channels for higher consciousness.

However, we would suggest that no electrical or magnetic equipment not necessary for the recording of our words be brought into these sessions, for we wish no distortions that are not necessary.
