Earlier this year, the Medway Crop Circle held a "Meditation for a Crop Circle" evening. It took place at our HQ - The Friends Meeting House in Rochester Kent, which incidentally sits perfectly upon a three line ley. Owing to a light fall of snow only nine members attended, but little did any of us realise at the time that we were about to herald some pretty positive results!

Prior to our meditation, we all helped Roy Luck, our host for the evening, slot together lengths of copper tubing in order to erect a giant dodecahedron shape that Roy had devoted many hours to accurately constructing previously. As you can imagine the dodeca took up quite a bit of space in the Quaker hall, but from our point of view it allowed us to comfortably form a circle for meditating inside the structure. I should now explain that a dodecahedron is a geometric shape that's bound by twelve regular faces, and importantly for us is known to act as an amplifier. We really wanted our message for "The Circlemakers" to be heard, but before we entered it, there was something we simply had to be aware of. An amplifier will just as easily amplify negative thoughts as positive ones, so we really had to psyche ourselves up before we could begin ... needless to say, this created a very positive energy field within the dodeca that was physically felt by everyone present.

We began in our usual way by thanking "The Circlemakers" for all the beautiful gifts we've received in the past, and asked them if they would acknowledge our interest in them by creating a formation that would appear similar to one of the three sketches we were displaying within our circle. We also asked for an acknowledgement by number - either eleven or thirteen.


Figure 1.

One of our designs was a figure of eight (figure 1). On April 20th, the first reported crop circle of the year arrived at Privett in Hampshire in a field of oil seed rape ... it was a figure of eight (figure 2). The meditation took place on the eighth of January, and the formation came down on 20.4.2003, the sum of which is eleven. Now whilst we're not going to go as far as to say that we're totally responsible for somehow telepathically creating this design, it simply has to be said that we might have done!


Figure 2.

Both designs have something specific in common, for they're both broken eights that don't quite complete. The Privett formation, by virtue of its break, hints at clockwise spirals (figure 3). ... something that our meditated design could also possess. The ancients looked upon a clockwise spiral as "Life in ascendancy", whereas an anti-clockwise spiral meant "Life descending" ... either way though, they both symbolise "Life eternal", in that they both return to source. Similarly, the direction in which a crop circle is swept embraces these very same meanings.


Figure 3.

This year Easter Sunday fell on April 20th which becomes interesting when you consider the esoteric number of Christ is eight (well, 888 to be more precise). Similar to a circle, the figure eight is a symbol of eternity for it's without a beginning or an end. Laid upon its side it becomes the infinity symbol, and come to think about it, with it being the number of the Guy from Galilee, isn't it through Him that many seek eternal life?


Figure 4.

On May 24th at Woodingdean, East Sussex (figure 4) another figure of eight arrived (well sort of!) taking on an "S" shape, this broken figure amazingly resembled our meditated design in that it consisted of eleven diminishing circles. Our meditated pattern consisted of 29 circles (2 + 9 = 11), and oddly enough two circles were also separated from the other nine within the design! Interestingly this second figure of eight was placed close to a "thought bubble" formation that had arrived in the same field a week or so earlier. Lying side by side they couldn't have appeared much closer together if they tried! Now, is it too fanciful to suppose that the "thought bubble" is suggesting a thought transference? Did it arrive first in order to indicate the arrival of a meditated for design?
