Adventures in the Fields!

Its been an interesting summer; aside from a few weeks of much needed R&R after an intensive work schedule, I became very involved with what was happening in the crop circles in southern England. Whilst every year sees a large number of circles magically & mysteriously appear during the summer, 2009 was quite exceptional for both the early start (April) and the sheer number and frequency of new formations- sometimes as many as 3 on the same night. Another noticeable feature was the number of formations conveying specific information in one form or another. From a personal point of view it was very exciting, as the "language" in which the information was "written" was, in many cases, that of the sacred geometry & sacred science which I have been researching and teaching for many years. I had the strong feeling that, whoever or whatever the circle-makers are, they were speaking my language! I had already been invited to give a presentation on the subject to the annual crop-circle lectures in August, however, the sense of personal involvement grew when, out of the blue, I was contacted by a film production company inviting me to contribute to making a documentary programme about the crop-circles they were filming for National Geographic . Just before I was due to fly over I received news of another fresh formation. When I opened the weblink to view the aerial photo, I was absolutely gobsmacked; there on the screen was an enormous, beautifully executed image of the phoenix- the sacred bird of ancient Egypt. According to legend, the phoenix returns to its birthplace at the end of a great cycle of time, builds a funeral pyre and cremates itself. It then arises reborn from the ashes, signifying the dawn of the new world, or civilisation. Looking more closely I noticed what were clearly flames, expertly crafted around the tail feathers of the bird. At this point I became convinced that something entirely unique and portentous was occurring, even by the extraordinary standards of the crop circles themselves.

I spent a fascinating weekend exploring the circles with the film-crew, including witnessing at first-hand the electro-magnetic anomalies which are often associated with them. As we were about to enter the formation- a beautiful image of the Seed of Life- the camera and sound recording equipment malfunctioned. We had no sound recording. The cameraman was utterly baffled; he had been working with the same camera for 10 years without a hitch, and couldn't figure out what had happened. It took an hour of frantic phone-calls to the technical department and a complete re-boot of all the equipment to rectify the problem!

The next day I visited a recently appeared formation dubbed "the sunspot" which closely resembles the enormous dark spots which appear on the surface of the sun and are associated with its cyclical magnetic field. I had arranged to visit it with my long-standing friend, Peter Taylor, a scientist and shaman, who had just published a book on climate change. Over the past few years we have been in a dialogue about the role of the Sun and its magnetic field in the climatic & other changes on the Earth, so I was excited to be sharing the occasion with him. Actually, we never got there! In the local bookshop where all the up-dated sightings of crop circles are posted on a map of the area, I was approached by a very excited lady and told that a brand new formation had just been reported, close to the "sunspot". We headed off immediately to see it. As it had only appeared an hour or two earlier, we were among the first people to enter the circle which was enormous, and literally crackling with energy. Not having seen an aerial photograph it was hard to grasp the overall plan and imagery, other than some intricate geometrical decoration around the perimeter. I overheard a group of people talking to each other in spanish, so greeted them and asked them what they knew. They told me it appeared to be a Mayan face. When I asked them where they came from, it turned out they were from Mexico, and were students of Mayan cosmology! As we talked, their guide approached me and shared that late on the previous night he was looking out in the direction of the field we were standing in, and had seen silver balls of light hovering over it. These balls of light are a hallmark of crop circles, and have actually been captured on film forming the circles in an amazing, virtually instantaneous fashion.

I didn't have too much time to explore so, rather than walking every inch of the formation (which was over 50 metres across) and attempting to decipher it, I found a secluded spot in a small circle of laid crop, and sat down. From a deep meditative space I asked to be shown whatever the circle represented. Within seconds a clear image had formed itself on the "screen" of my mind. To my amazement I recognized it as the stylized face of Quetzalcoatl which forms the centre of the Sun calendar of the Mexhica (an ancient people closely related to the Maya, and with a similar knowledge of cosmic cycles) I had become very familiar with the face and calendar 10 years earlier when it formed the centre-piece of a summer course I had given to mark the date 13 Cane- another very significant date associated with predictions of major transformation- which had coincided with the solar eclipse of august 1999.

I then asked to be shown what the circle meant, why had it appeared here, at this time. The vision which followed had an unmistakeable prophetic content, and was so powerful it left me profoundly moved and shaken. I am not accustomed to channelling prophetic visions and, to be truthful, adopt a healthy scepticism to those of others until I am convinced of their authenticity, so I was thrown into something of a quandary by the experience. However, after a period of deliberation, I have decided to share this vision- initially through the medium of a workshop (see details below). Later, when I was able to view an aerial photo of the formation, the face was exactly as I had seen it in the vision. Moreover, I was able to identify the spot in which I had sat to "tune in". It was the left eye!

When I returned to Wiltshire at the beginning of August for the conference I had the opportunity to explore the "Mayan face" & "sunspot" circles in more depth and discovered some very interesting alignments and other details which I believe are significant in understanding what is unfolding on the Earth. This too I will be sharing when I have fully researched it. Overall, my summer wanderings in the fields of England have reaffirmed my conviction that we are in the midst of a time of profound transformation and have given me some pointers as to how these changes are unfolding. I am more than ever convinced that the crop-circles- or more precisely the intelligent consciousness which is using the crop formations to communicate with us, is an integral part of the transformation. To find myself in the midst of this communication, and to feel at times that I was personally involved in it, has been an exhilerating and inspiring experience.
