Crop Circles... are they warning signs?

Crop Circles...Are They Warning Signs?

Disappointingly, the recent Mel Gibson blockbuster "Signs" wasn't really about crop circles - in fact despite all the hype that it would be, they featured little. Hollywood's version of what crop circles are all about, were dealt with here as nothing but pre-cursors to an alien invasion...pure Alice in Wonderland stuff in the style of "Independence Day" (yawn).

Like pretty well anything that smacks of the paranormal, the media "attempts" to deal with crop circles in such a way that's often to the point of ridicule. It's as if there's very substantial efforts going on in order to debunk them, resulting in many being dissuaded from a belief in them. Documentaries and articles are somewhat engineered deliberately, in order to try and convince you that year in - year out, " There all made by guys with planks of wood and bits of string!" Thankfully though, features that run with, "Did you see the little green men?"... or,"Look what cropped up after pub shut?" are now wearing painfully thin!

According to researcher Francine Blake *..."Crop circles do not fit the current mechanistic mind-set, they intimate a consciousness greater than ourselves which some people find threatening". As with many such things, what is not understood is often feared, but what we have to learn is that sometimes we should allow ourselves to go along with some of it...We simply have to expand our awareness! Many of the crop circles are pointing that out to us, and we really shouldn't just pigeon-hole these beautiful gifts as merely being paranormal...all that does is just conveniently place them on the back burner along with everything else. (...mmm, isn't it about time we knocked the para prefix off of paranormal?)

Did the movie "Signs" get one thing right though - are crop circles warning signs?... Now whilst it's true to say that some of them appear to be nudging us about our present environmental woes, they certainly don't seem to be suggesting that we're about to be blown away by scary aliens! In common with the movie though, crop circles are certainly letting us know that other realities exist.

Whoever's transmitting these beautiful designs is really stretching us, for here we're all standing open-mouthed in awe of something that's completely outside our normal perception... something that in all honesty for most, is completely mystifying! Yet crop circles are really not a physical problem to be solved, but more of a mystery to be enjoyed. Knowing who's making them, or how there made, really isn't as important as trying to grasp the message they bring.

Crop circles create space. A consciously created space within a landscape that provides us with somewhere to reflect and re-fuel. By placing them at times in the same old fields, "The Circlemakers" are actually gathering us to the same places each time. They round us up in much the same way as the Ancients were gathered and drawn to stone circles, all those years ago. Similar to stone circles they act as spiritual retreats, and because they are set upon ancient or hallowed ground world-wide, they intentionally expose us to the transforming energies that are often there. Many have commented that when they enter a formation, they become instinctively aware of a sense of sacredness that's not easily explained. Many also say they feel compelled to meditate within them...which obviously places them on the receiving end of anything they might magically evoke, which is often the case!

Alongside sacred art, ancient religious and philosophical symbolism is found imprinted in our fields, and in a stylised form we're often offered astronomical relationships as well as specific fractals. As a very special form of communication they encode numerology within their esoteric symbology, as well as higher mathematics and extremely inventive geometry. Similar though to ancient Egyptian glyphs and early Sumerian writings, they remain in essence
a spiritual picture language...a sign language!...But whilst they're not in this case actually stringing sentences together, each individual formation, or picture glyph, carries with it a unique message...Crop circles are multi-layered and require of us an ability to try and understand what's concealed beneath their first outward layer of expression.

"The Circlemakers" frequently transmit patterns that are evermore complex. This seems to suggest, that the days of a simple circle or two landing in a field nearby, are well and truly numbered...But this doesn't appear to be the case, for often a few of the simpler variety turn up alongside the jawdroppers. So could it be that these simplistic efforts are serving to remind us of what they caught our attention with in the first place? If that really is the case then a prime example of this, was a formation that arrived during the 2002 season at High Halden near Ashford in Kent.

In being the most perfect of all natural shapes, the circle is the most commonly found shape you'll find employed in crop formations. The Ancients looked upon a simple circle as being quite important, for it contained neither a beginning nor an end...something that perfectly symbolises a creator who offers us life without end! The circle was also regarded as a unifying symbol...For it clearly demonstrates unity, in that each part of it is perfectly equidistant from its centre. I believe "The Circlemakers" could be laying down the simple ones occasionally, in an attempt to remind us of the value of cosmic unity. Crop circles are profoundly spiritual...we're simply not just witnessing pretty patterns!

The overlapping of two equal-sized circles produces an esoteric geometric figure that's known as the "Vesica Pisces". Easily recognised as a pure slice of Christian or Celtic iconography, it's featured regularly in crop circle designs.

It's also recognised, as being a creation symbol, for where it overlaps (in the shaded area) is highly symbolic of the fusion between male and female during the initial creation of life. I was amazed to learn that at the very moment of conception, the male and female pronuclei take on the exact shape of the Vesica!

In being a creation symbol it goes on regenerating into a form that's known as "The Seed Of Life", (Fig. 2), until numerous repetitions of the vesica eventually produce "The Flower Of Life" -(The Infinite Grid of Creation)... (Fig. 3) In one way or another, these geometric figures have often appeared in our fields.

Most researchers would probably agree though, that one of the most commonly pursued themes by "The Circlemakers" has to be the spiral. Nature itself manifests in a spiralling motion, and through a spiral many perceive the very essence of spirit. Spirals also symbolically elevate awareness, in that they are a measure of creative forces indicating other levels of reality.

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 renewal because they simply return to source. A spiral is also sanctified in the guise of a serpent - and we've certainly seen a few of them appear in formation designs over the years!

With seeds of life forever being sown in our fields, along with simple circles and spirals etc, in an infinite number of ways, we're being presented with a very simple message. A message that's so simple it can be expressed in a single word...re- birth!........................................................The new Genesis awaits us!

Crop circles are signs - Spiritual Signs!..and yes folks, about as far removed from being a pre-cursor to an alien invasion, as you would ever wish them to be! Crop circles are not to be feared...if anything, they're "Weapons of Mass Reconstruction"! For they're simply an encoded message of love and light that's here to help raise awareness during these transitional times. In a very beautiful and unique way, they're heralding the imminent consciousness shift en-masse...that which was long ago prophesied for these "End-Times".

The "Hopi Elders" refer to this transitional period of time as the passing of the fifth age, that inevitably leads us into the "Sixth Age of Humanity". A collapse that universal karma dictates must be realised, in order to establish a new harmonic rhythm. Mankind was once a race that held such great awareness...but through our obsession with materialism and all things physical, we've progressively debased to the point that we've simply lost our spiritual way, through culturally suppressing our spiritual nature.

Crop circles reaffirm the most ancient esoteric worldview, that everything has consciousness - that the part is in fact the whole! Conceived in an ethereal dimension, they openly manifest within the physical in a clear demonstration that everything is energy, and that matter therefore should really be regarded as merely an illusion, simply because vibration and harmony over-rule.

Crop circles are a clarion call...how many more times do they have to stamp this out in a field before we finally get it?....... If there's one thing for certain though, Crop circles are announcing with amazing clarity our imminent transference!
