Crop circle!!!

Good news, Sunday morning, Mike got the message that a crop circle had appeared close to Wootton Basset! After breakfast, we drove to a crop field right below one of the many white horses in Wiltshire. Once arrived, it turned out that we were not the only ones. About 150 other people were measuring, chanting, meditating, drumming, photographing, arguing, lying down or doing something else in the crop circle formation. The photos below give an impression of our visit (an aerial photo at the end, we obviously did not see the formation like this). After we get back we will share more of our experiences, thoughts, visions, etc. on our blog!

Some crop circles

Hi again Dees!

Not much crop circles yet apparently, but there are a few listed on the Crop Circle Connector website which have been found in late July. One of them is in Wiltshire, so let’s hope the farmer owning the crop will leave the circle there  for a few more days!

See you soon!

Crop circle denial

Yo Dees!

Wow. I’m flabbergasted. I stumbled upon this website which is a “participation platform for alternative time consciousness”. It’s called The Order of Time, do you know it? They posted an article on Crop Circles and the Key to the World Order. This article is full of conspiracy theory views on man-made crop circles (their reaction to the circlemakers website: “Apparently this is an action of legally covering it up”) and the author seems convinced of the fact that crop circles are made by an intelligence that tries to communicate with us (“The conclusion is that some intelligence is writing messages in symbol circle code to us on the face of mother earth and we are baffled.”).

The article is mostly about what the intelligence is trying to communicate with us and what we should answer them (“we, from our own selfrespect of conscious control, owe them an answer.”). The author finally comes to the conclusion (I could not really follow the analysis and interpretation) that the meaning of the crop circles is related to time (“From the above as well as from many other religious, philosophical and political options we have to depart from a threefold division of time representing the relationship of our earthly management of time and organic life.”). So Dees, maybe you can connect this to Maya calendars!!

The author ends with designing an answer we could give to the genuine crop circle makers, which is supposed to represent our own complexity of time consciousness. I couldn’t really understand how the explanation of crop circles resulted in this design, maybe you can make something out of it….

I really wonder what you think of this article. You can probably guess my opion…

Cheers, Karin

First browsing

Hidy ho Dees!

That was fun, our first action to browse for information about crop circles and sightseeing trips! I was especially charmed by the Hello Kitty crop circle we found on the Circlemakers website :-). Also, what struck me was that even crop circle believers (no offence!) clearly admit that 80 to 90% of crop circles are made by humans. The problem for me is that these people seem to automatically assume that the remaining crop circles have other origins than humans. I’d like to assume that of the remaining crop circles, we cannot know for sure that they were made by humans. But we can also not know for sure that they were not made by humans… I wonder whether there are any crop circles that are certainly not made by humans, I think we can never say for sure that no humans were involved in makin them. How would we ever know that?! I do agree with the crop circle believers however, that the 10 – 20% of the crop circles that were not accounted for by human creators are the most interesting circles to focus on!

I’ve also been thinking about the YouTube video we watched including a recording of a couple of lights that seem to be making a crop circle. One thing that was explained in the video is that most recordings of crop circle creations by entities of light show the strange phenomenon that the lights do not follow the laws of perspective, they do not become smaller when farther away or larger when closer to the observer/camera. I cannot help but thinking that this might be just a suggestion of poor video editing skills…. I have to say that most of the eyewitness stories don’t seem very convincing. I think I would be able to write a fictitions eyewitness report that is more convincing than the ones I have been reading so far!

But, I have to be fair here, this was the first time I seriously read some websites about crop circles, so I really need to dive deeper into all perspectives on the matter to form a solid opinion. I really think we should be saving up to make that helicopter ride to see the crop circles from above, there are some truly spectacular examples I’d really like to see. I think I am going to save all of the pictures of really beatiful circles and post my favourite one each time I write on this blog!

Talk to you soon!
Cheers, Karin

P.S. I was thinking, maybe we should organise a bi-weekly tea-party to brainstorm about our trip and our findings, what do you think?
