To see a world in a grain of sand, Heaven in a wild flower19th century poet, William Blake
There is a great deception present in the lives of human beings. We cannot imagine consciousness outside of our own heads. Perhaps the emergence of Artificial General Intelligence is beginning to suggest that this can be the case. We shall see.
In Ancient Egypt and Ancient Greece and Rome, consciousness was understood to naturally inhabit matter. Matter was then defined as the four elements of earth, air, fire and water. Spirit was the fifth element and the one that gave ‘life’ and made all things (mineral, vegetable and animal) feel alive – conscious.

In ancient religions, priests would invite spirit to occupy statues made in the form of a human or animal body. If the spirit had archetypal characteristics of both animal and human bodies this was represented such as Thoth and Anubis in ancient Egypt.
For the Greeks and Romans, a statue in a temple or a home shrine was a means of communication with a living god. This was not only vital for daily life but for personal continuity into the afterlife.
In ancient Japan, the religion of Shinto took a simpler animistic relationship with nature. This deep reverence for the natural world is reflected in traditional Japanese arts and crafts. The practice of ‘wood bathing’ in Japan today, is a modern manifestation of becoming deeply energised by the spirit of woodland and individual trees.
The ancient Celts in Western Europe manipulate the invisible energies of the landscape. They controlled them by moving earth and stones to sympathetically increase the power of the ‘earth spirit’. The animals, vegetables and minerals benefited from this bio-electromagnetic energy. Humans in particular rode the energy like a wave in the initiation chambers built into their long barrows and dolmens.

In north America the first nation tribes held nature in the high respect that one gives one’s grandmother. They called her Unci Maka and revered the landscape as if it were their own grandmother’s body.
“Every part of this soil is sacred in the estimation of my people. Every hillside, every valley, every plain and grove, has been hallowed by some sad or happy event of days long vanished. Even the rocks, which seem to be dumb and dead as they swelter in the sun along the silent shore, thrill with memories of stirring events connected with the lives of my people, and the very dust upon which you now stand responds more lovingly to their footsteps than yours, because it is rich with the blood of our ancestors, and our bare feet are conscious of the sympathetic touch.”
Sadly, the industrial revolution and the ‘religion’ of scientific materialism turned its back on animistic spirit traditions. People in industrialising countries left the land of their ancestors for what William Blake called ‘dark Satanic mills’. At least fifty per cent of the world’s population today live in cities.

Nineteenth century scientists such as Sir Isaac Newton reduced the understanding of nature to a series of cause-and-effect mechanisms or ‘natural laws’. It is less well known that he was also open to the possibility that there are more mysteries than conclusions. He studied the ancient art of Alchemy and the Torah for the greater part of his life. Society embraced his scientific discoveries and ignored his spiritual search.
Today, scientists know that matter and energy cannot be reduced to a few laws. The picture is more complex. As in the study of the human body, there is not only anatomy, but physiology – what things are and how they work.

In the parallel worlds of nature spirits; fairies, elves, goblins, water spirits and the rest, have always been described as living in communities, not isolation. They mirror organic organisational truths that require co-operation in order to provide the resilience to loss through adversity. A new by-pass has little regard for the unseen.
Nature never discards anything as worthless. In physics, energy is not lost, only turned into another type of energy. Matter will similarly ‘change state’ from solid to gas and never be lost.
It is so in the municipal allotment where sunlight is absorbed by vegetables the remains of which eventually break down into humus for future crops. There is a circular pattern of renewal which today is respected as ‘sustainable’. Nature achieves it without effort, but modern societies struggle to achieve without loss of ‘convenience and comfort’. Even human consciousness is recycled under the same principle and occupies many organic bodies in it’s learning and initiation journeys using the power of physical reality.
Nature will always provide spiritual and physical nourishment for human beings. However, the supply of the latter is not infinite for the obvious reason that there is only one ‘Grandmother Earth’. Therefore, as the size of the human population seriously threatens the vast eco-systems of the planet either population or ‘standard of living’ or both, must reduce.

This fact is painful to industrialists and those who benefit from the draining effects on the planet of mass production. As materialist can not conceive of or carry out a solution to the damaged Earth in material terms, space exploration is posited as a way to ‘get more stuff’ even when planets are known to be distant wastelands.
Human populations have already thrived at a sustainable and advanced material standard of living throughout history and around the world. What gave people purpose and comfort was a universal enjoyment of spirit and human consciousness. The extraordinarily high standards of ancient artists, sculptors, musicians and engineers and architects contrasts with modern creations devoid of pulse.
If one challenges what spirit is and what benefits it brings then that is another subject. Suffice to say that the urge to follow a ‘religion’ as a step to a non-material spiritual path is one that is found in even the most so called ‘primitive’ societies.
Curious and disillusioned souls who have been immersed in modern city life travel to hidden pockets of the Amazon rainforest to learn and experience a living spirit world from traditional indigenous shaman and healers through the drug Ayahuasca.
The journey into nature becomes a journey into the hidden areas of oneself and nature is realised as the perfect teacher for that. The religious dogmas of the past are today seen by many as trees that bear no fruit only promises of future fruit.
When William Blake wrote poetry and painted pictures describing his mystical vision and path, society was open to his ideas even if they did not understand. I would argue that this intuitive leap into unknown possibility is required again today so that a complete change of direction for humanity can be achieved.
There is an idea and possible reality of a ‘new earth’ revealing itself at this present time. It is not the planet of old, nor the ideas of our ancestors. It is an escape from a cocoon that is no longer comfortable or at least, no longer sustainable.
Leaving the safety of a cocoon and growing angelic wings; that is a move into the unknown accomplished by butterflies every day.

“All things are alive and have their own language, vibrations and luminosity that you can feel with you psychic body.”
Kyriacos C. Markides “The Magus of Strovolos” page 99 Penguin Books
My first visit to the mosque in Cordoba got me into trouble with the security guard. It was winter and I entered wearing my hat. I was approached and told to remove my headgear. I considered this rather odd as covering one’s head is mandatory in a mosque. But then when you look at the guide book it calls the mosque a cathedral for the reason that there is indeed a cathedral that was dropped as if lowered from outer space, through the ancient roof of the mosque.
As soon as the guard was out of sight, I replaced my hat. Hats on or hats off, women hats on, men hats off, in my heretical view, is a product of imagining unreasonable rules by those who do not know. On that note, the following essay may also appear to be conjecture to which I would humbly request that the reader suspends disbelief. There is much being discovered from our ancient past at this time and buildings such as the Mezquita in Cordoba are perfect places to go and experience for oneself.
If one were to construct a holy building, meaning not just for shelter, it would have to embody both matter and energy. But some energies are beyond scope of scientist’s instruments. There is plenty of evidence of manipulation of energy by and through buildings in the past.
We need not look far for examples. The ancient Egyptian sacred buildings, such as the Osirion Temple at Abydos or the Temple of Luxor, copied the sacred proportions of the human body. The energetic and physical functions of the building were designed to be proportionate to and reflected the energetic and physical functions of the body. Much of the work of the French Egyptologist R.A. Schwaller de Lubitcz gives many examples as in this illustration. The legs are the two lines of columns at the temple entrance working through to the head which is the altar and initiation chambers.
With this understood at least as a possibility, I would like to use the Mezquita in Cordoba in Southern Spain as example of a ‘living’ building energised by spirit.
It is to be found in the old town of Cordoba beside the River Guadalquivir; a waterway that was once navigable to the Atlantic Ocean.
This grand building was built in Al-andalus in Southern Spain between 784 – 987 B.C.E. It was expanded at various times, to accommodate growing congregations. It’s functional layout is similar to a modern industrial building allowing it to grow. In 1236 under the King of Castille and Leon Ferdinand III, the city of Cordoba was captured. The mosque was repurposed as a cathedral.
The Mezquita garden is a landscaped courtyard with fountains and a cistern, presumably once for ritual ablution before prayers. The planting is principally standard sized trees in a regular pattern resembling an orchard rather than a forest. This theme mirrors the rectangular grid of the mosque’s structure. A rectangular grid of columns supports double arches and a high roof.
This then is a brief description of the of the mosque as it appears materially. Now let us move on to consider ‘energy’.

The first thing you notice when entering the mosque are the red and white arches supported by marble columns, recycled from Roman and Visigoth buildings. These columns do not reach the desired height of the roof so a higher arch sits on top of the lower arch. This is an unusual engineering solution but there is a possible explanation that these columns were selected for another reason than for practically. They were made by the Romans from various types of stone but principally polished marble, jasper, porphyry and granite.
All of these stones contain quartz to varying degrees and from the energetic viewpoint, this is significant. Quartz is piezoelectric mineral, meaning that when compressed, the geometric structure of the atoms squeezes out positive and negative electrons producing a voltage across the stone. The voltage is proportionate to the amount of weight on the pillar, hence one might conjecture, the unusual second arch above the first. Structurally, the second arch has no other purpose than to add height and weight, evident because these arches are only used in one direction of the grid where the weight of the roof is supported. This device of increasing weight to increase the electric potential of columns is evident in much sacred architecture. At the Gobleki Tepe temple in Turkey, standing stones are T-shaped, at Stonehenge in England they have lintels and the pyramids of Egypt compress pink granite lined chambers. The ancient Egyptian temples such as Luxor contain an excessive number of columns to support the roof. All around the world and throughout time, sacred buildings are structurally over designed which is in my view is to produce electric potential.
Electricity works closely with magnetism, for instance inducing magnetic fields when an element such as iron moves through an electrified copper coil as in a simple electric generator. We are familiar with electromagnetism but not the as yet undiscovered organic force known as Chi or Prana in the east and Ether or Orgone in the West. It is this as yet unscientifically proven energy that is connected with the spiritual effects it has on the human body and soul.
So to the return the Mezquita, do these arches remind you of horse shoe magnets? Indeed, the typical shape of the arches in Islamic architecture is called a ‘horseshoe arch’. If an arch and it’s two columns are electrically charged, then one column will be positive and the other negative.The grid plan supports this hypothesis, as it connects these opposite electric poles in series, in the manner that batteries are connected to produce more amps at the same voltage. One can go even further if we include the fact that human bodies also contain an electric charge which in a mosque are again aligned during communal prayer. Could males be separated from females not for religious and cultural reasons, but to configure human experience?
Do the red and white patterns in the arches physically mirror the anodes and cathodes in the whole design at least symbolically? If human electricity or bioelectricity sounds beyond scienctific acceptance then the work of Sally Adee confirms we are indeed walking light bulbs!
Any person who has attended an event where a large number of people congregate such as a football match, know that the ‘atmosphere’ during that occasion is not experienced by those who are physically removed from the event and watching on television.
When large numbers of people congregate they are capable of producing powerful sounds. At a football match, the compression waves from the chanting and cheering is capable of boiling one pint of water; a small amount in terms of heat but definitely an effect. So one might wonder whether the compression waves in air from sacred chanting and music is sufficient to produce a piezoelectric effect in stone?
Consider a human body which is constantly vibrating at certain frequencies. Through resonance each person is able to resonate with others during in prayer and meditation. When this is performed as a ritual performance in a sacred building, the context amplifies the effect on each individual. In this way worshippers of any religion have their frequency raised which they experience as an uplifting of spirit in a heart centred rather than a head centred way. Although there is hardly room in this essay, I should also suggest there is the whole subject of healing that has taken place at sacred times and places, sometimes at the level of miracles.
Consider the original plan and physical location of the Mezquita. It is aligned so that the congregation face Mecca in a south easterly direction; 100 degrees and 5 million yards away. Consider the thought that the prayers of the faithful, were directed into the flowing waters of the river Quadalquivir. A controversial scientist of today, Masaru Emoto discovered experimentally, that water records words and thought as changes in it’s molecular structure. Such resonances through prayer of love and beauty may well have been intentional?

As well as sound we should consider every type of wave in the electromagnetic spectrum. At a lower frequency than visible light are radio waves which in themselves are strongly connected to crystals. The early radio receivers needed no battery, just a quartz crystal, an aerial and electrical earth. An operator could listen to the waves of an radio broadcast using headphones. Conversely, a slice of a quartz or galena (lead sulphide) crystal, works as a microphone in response to sound waves and sends a modulated signal through insulated copper wires. This shows that even a tiny pressure from sound in air produces a response in crystals. A forest of columns containing crystal in a mosque is therefore something not to be underestimated in it’s effects on the human energy field and through that, perception.
Let us look far away for an example as this effect is not as far fetched as it may at first appear. There are in existence thirteen quartz crystals carved into the shape of human skulls.
One such skull is on view in the British Museum in London, England. I have been to view it and found it exhibited on a sultry landing in a stair well. It had been removed from the Aztec gallery on the grounds that some marks from modern instruments had been found on it when viewed under a microscope. The conclusion was made that the skull was made in the same moment of history as these instruments. In my view this is false logic as any object can be altered at any time in history. Work at a moment in an objects existence does not suggest when it was made . It’s the same false logic from archaeologists who find a skeleton in a dolmen and assume the dolmen was made for that burial.
If we can accept that we do not know the age of these crystal skulls then they could be any age including from the Younger Dryas event and even pre-deluvian times.
To quote Daryl Anka from You Tube Twin Flame – the Forbidden Connection;
In Atlantean times the council of 13 would sit in a circle around the master skull and they would sing; they would chant to it. The idea of Tibetan chants is a hand me down of a memory of the idea of using vibrational resonance through chanting to release information from the skull.
In other words, the quartz crystal not only act as ‘microphones’ absorbing sound energy containing information and converting it, but also ‘speakers’, emitting information.
Could granite columns act in the same way when stimulated by the collective chanting and energetic vibration of a congregation? Quartz crystal is silicon dioxide or (SiO2) and silicon is used in the memory of modern computers as a chip. It works by using billions of microscopic switches called transistors on a silicon base to control electrical current, processing data as binary 1’s and 0’s, functioning as tiny logic gates that perform calculations and execute commands.
Whilst granite columns are clearly not computers, could they work in a similar way to store information for later release to following generations?
I shall quote Daryl Anka again from the same video;
The arrangement of the atoms within the crystals is a representation of information storage in terms of how light courses through the crystal…sound can release the idea of information by hitting the right note and pattern / chord key…and it can actually release the information by vibrating the molecular matrix so as to allow the information to come out.
So the key energy in this arrangement is sound and if you consider sacred buildings around the world, sound is an important feature of worship whether it be bells, organ pipes, chanting, choirs, congregations singing and intoning.
The Mezquita in Cordoba during a storm
A largely unknown and curious example of this are the gargoyles featured on Gothic churches and fashioned as devilish creatures with open mouths. These functioned not only to scare evil entities but to channel rain water but contained within some are precisely carved resonant chambers. These ‘squeeze’ the sound of bells and project it in an amplified form for long distances. Salisbury cathedral in England is an example and the scientific principle used is a Helmholtz resonator.
A Helmholtz resonator is an acoustic device, like an empty bottle, that resonates at a specific low frequency, acting as a mass-spring system where air in a neck (mass) oscillates against the compressible air in a cavity (spring). It’s used to analyse sound (by isolating specific pitches) or control noise (like in mufflers or rooms) by absorbing certain frequencies. The resonant frequency depends on the cavity’s volume, neck length, and neck area.

Returning to Cordoba and the Mezquita, we know that custom for Muslim prayer is first to perform an ablution. This is not only to remove physical dirt but spiritual dirt in the form of conscious entities known as Jinn in Islam or Archons by gnostics. These can be detached from one’s energetic body by washing and sacred incantations such as the call-to-prayer, prayer and recitation.
Imagine then the possibility that sacred sounds in whatever form are absorbed and emitted by a place of worship and meditation, in the way of a simple microphone and speaker. If one can suspend judgment a little further, then consider this extract from ‘Crystals and Stones’ on You Tube by Bashar,
…crystals – the chamber (in which they are built) resonate in such a way as to imbue to you whatever information they have stored in their molecular matrix that you are open to receiving.
The reference to ‘open to receiving’ is important, as we know that people are not necessarily aware of the effects of unseen energies upon their mind, spirit and body. For instance, the earth emits a sound at the frequency of 7.83hz known as the Shumanresonance and experiments have shown that this creates an Alpha wave state in the human brain.
AI Google gives this concise description of this state of mind. Compare it as you read, the state of mind of congregations at prayer,
Alpha waves are brainwave patterns (8-12 Hz) common during relaxed wakefulness, like daydreaming or meditating, acting as a bridge between focused (beta) and drowsy (theta/delta) states, promoting calmness, creativity, and efficient information processing by inhibiting distractions and enhancing mental clarity…
If quartz in granite columns is recording sound vibrations from nature and humans in sacred buildings, then this information, this memory, is present from the previous days, weeks, months and even years. Are our ancestors talking to us and if this were true, then would you not also record your culture’s information, knowledge and wisdom in some indestructible for those who come after you?
When science has the instruments to measure and interpret information contained in crystal bearing stone such as the red granite lining the inner chambers in the Pyramid of Ku fu, then we may understand the purpose of using such particular stone, because at present we do not.
My experience when dowsing, is that sacred buildings such as the Mezquita in Cordoba are highly energetic. The intention in it’s choice of building materials and construction was in my view, to imbue a received meditative state of mind and feeling of closeness to Allah in those who enter the mosque. There is no need even for worship to be taking place to have this experience for the stone pillars emanate an form ofq bio-electromagnetic energy which is an as yet, undiscovered energy to which humans naturally resonate in their own bio-electric field or shall we say, chakras.
I should include another important source of energy in sacred buildings which is from the earth on which they sit. It is significant that worshippers in a mosque stand in regular lines. They have removed their footwear, not only for cleanliness but also to make sure they are electrically earthed. Some more sensitive souls carry metal tipped walking sticks for this same reason for a build up of energy requires controlled discharge. Beneath the mosque are tellurgic currents associated with water; remembering the mosque is sited next to a significant overground river.
Whilst dowsing in the courtyard gardens, I found a spiralling spring under the present cistern and fountains. Such currents will certainly extend into the mosque itself and connect with the bases of the granite columns.
This energy can rise in a spiral around the columns as depicted in Freemasonry as symbolic columns named Boaz and Jachin. These formed a ‘portal’ into the Temple of Sol-om-on, a ‘third space’ between sun and moon or masculine and feminine in which was to be found completeness.

It is a fact known to the Knights Templar and Freemasons who inherited the practice from the Ancient Egyptians, that most sacred buildings around the world are placed over global, regional and local nodes of tellurgic current. It should also be noted when considering the properties of granite that it can be naturally magnetic when containing magnetite or ilmenite. The darker or metallic coloured granites exhibit this property most and there are many such columns in the Mezquita.
Many sacred buildings connect visually with ‘heaven’ or the sky by means of a tower or spire. A minaret was added to the Cordoba mosque in 958 BCE. Such high structures were built not only for the call to prayer by the muezzin, but to connect the entire complex with positive and negative ions in the atmosphere, notably moist thunder clouds or the hot dry air of summer. Most dramatically, lightning seeks high buildings to discharge into the earth. This effect was utilised by the ancient Egyptians when they built pyramid topped granite obelisks some of which have been relocated to European cities such as Paris, Rome, London and Washington DC. The city of Washington has an interesting street plan likely to be designed by the Freemasons within which the ‘Washington Monument‘ plays a key role.
Such macro views resemble in a fractal pattern, the layout of micro circuit boards and transistors. Modern science is catching up with ancient science but at micro scale as in quantum mechanics. The statue of a god in the Greek or Egyptian Temple which gods found irresistable to enter, is today known as Artificial Intelligence and is already equally potent.
The pyramid’s geometry both discharges and collects energy from the atmosphere and the heavenly bodies particularly at certain astronomical alignments with the sun and constellations. The pavement surrounding the Great Pyramid of Kufu in Giza is said to have a surface of fulgurite a stone produced by the action of lightning striking the earth.
To ‘reverse engineer’ the energetic qualities of buildings from our past is an inconclusive enterprise. It is hard to convince others as present day knowledge does not consider the energetic characteristics of buildings in any depth. The task of convincing others is left to people who are sensitive and responsive to changes through feeling qualities in their body, mind, emotions and intuitions when entering sacred buildings and places.
It appears to me that we are metaphorically trying to extract the sword of truth Excalibur from the stone of ignorance. Never the less, I do believe that there are many minds open to the suggestion that buildings have a powerful influence upon us and if one of two of the ideas here presented make your gargoyles resonate; listen.
Gaining knowledge from the past and present buildings are a gift to us that we would be foolish to ignore, for when the sword is finally extracted it might well make kings of us all.
‘There is little that cannot be explained in a few sentences;
sentences that may take a life time to understand.’
What is consciousness? Where is consiousness? Who is conscious of what?
The conscious ‘me’ is clearly gifted a material body but is my body me? Clearly not, but there is evidence that the opposite is true. People have clinically died and remained fully conscious outside of the body. To explain this phenomena, consciousness must exist in another medium and that we call ‘spirit’ or loosely in scientific terms, ‘energy’. What type of energy we will come to.
The concept of spirit outside of matter, is central to many world religions. The Christian priest will attend a person dying or conduct an exorcism and a Tibetan Buddhist will say prayers over a cadaver for several days. Curiously, religious representatives do not attend births. Perhaps this is because there is no agreed moment in gestation when spirit enters the foetus but certainly it does.
In this Ven diagram, is a simple representation of how matter and spirit lock together and what they share in common. Where matter and spirit overlap is a particular energy which modern science has not yet been able to detect and measure, but which has been described extensively across time and cultures as, ether Chi, Qi, Prana, Orgone, Vril, or when in the earth, the tellurgic current.
This invisible energy creates a portal, a zone where there is connection between both matter and spirit, which I shall term ‘ether’. The stronger the ether, the easier it is for consciousness to move between matter and spirit. There is no scientific proof for this other than that humanity throughout history has devoted vast amounts of time and resources to achieve just this effect in it’s magnificent structures and modes of worship.
Depiction of Spirit Entity at Altimira, Spain
Forty thousand years ago homo sapiens sapiens conducted Shamanic rituals in cave dwellings. They created their connection with the spirit world by painting on rock walls. Through these superbly representative paintings, spirit was able to enter the cave and infuse each sentient being with it’s presence. There is also a theory that important star constellations were also represented in these paintings. Cave dwellers would have developed a close relationship with star patterns and apparent movement of the night sky when viewing from the mouth of the cave; itself a domed observatory.
Chi is present in all nature and certain places and times amplify it’s power. This can stimulate ‘extra sensory perception’ in humans and a gateway into our material realm for non-corporeal beings. To this end, throughout history, most civilisations have used and enhanced Chi by building sacred buildings and using their unique qualities as ‘places of power’, to use a phrase from the Toltec Shaman, Don Juan in Carlos Castenada‘s books.
In Ancient Greece, elegant statues of gods were placed in Temples to invite the god to be present in the statue. When the monotheistic religions arrived such ‘idol worship’ was forbidden. This fear is a sure sign of how powerful early churches realised living gods occupying statues to be.
Ancient people’s, who today we would call a, seer, prophet, priest, magician, mason, water-diviner or Oracle, helped in the construction of sacred edifices of all kinds. Temples, obelisks, pyramids, causeways, megaliths, dolmens, wells or hill figures and many others can be found today all over the globe, often unseen or unrealised. Many modern authors have studied global alignments of such sacred monuments based on sacred geometry, alignments, distance and time.
Chi is accumulated and or channelled through these structures. Whilst later burials often occurred in or near them, their main function was generally ceremonial and as places of initiation. To amplify the Chi very similar techniques were used based on geometry, astral alignments and tellurgic currents; all of which have the combined effect of accumulating and focusing Chi on the human heart, right brain and pineal and pituitary glands.
Many historical and current researchers have documented and explain aspects of this sacred knowledge. Unfortunately, left brain biased archaeologists usually support only those theories based on matter, historical records and anthropology, without reference to the living spirit that was once sacred to ancient cultures.
My point in this essay is that by introducing the concept of an invisible but omni-present spirit into our understanding of the past, the relationship between our sensory experiences and our right brained, feeling based consciousness, becomes clear.
The more Chi is present both within and without of a human being, the more easily such a person can slip through the mirror into a world beyond. Consider Alice’s famous journey into the mirror and the inverted playing card world of dreams; where right is wrong and wrong is right. Never trust a flamingo.
Less flippantly we might examine how personal direction of thought is directed outward using personal power or Chi. It is the means through which prayer is sent; through the ethereal veil to ‘God’ or Universal ‘Mind’. Alice created her Wonderland by going within or ‘down the rabbit hole’.
Finally, we should appreciate spirit is able to pass through the veil towards humanity, boosted by Chi. A highly experienced ‘Dowser’ or ‘Water Diviner’ in Scotland for instance, describes grave yards as being places of concentrations of earth energy or Chi. This connects the earthly grave with the spirit world to which our consciousness is always connected. The common story of ‘ghosts’ inhabiting graveyards is a good example of the ‘twilight zone’ occupied by all sorts including the disembodied. The particularly time of year for this veil to thin is of course, ‘The Day of the Dead’ in Mexico and ‘All Hallows Eve’ in Christianity. The displays in shop windows of evil ecrutements for children is not something properly understood in my view.
Examples of portals for the spirit, exist in very old houses, natural features such as caverns, springs, geological features such as magmatic intrusions and dikes, towns and cities like Jerusalem.
What happens in such sacred sites and countries connects through grids and alignments to other countries and even around the world. For much of recorded history, the Holy Land played out a spiritual discourse, such as those narrated in the Old Testament and New. This global effect was so strong that the Crusades set out to ‘take’ Jerusalem for Christianity and suppress to the ‘infidel’. The history of these brutal Medieval wars is well known and yet continues to play out, often with the same disregard for the sanctity of life.
One might wonder what it is about this particular part of the globe that makes it a spiritually significant region for the monotheistic religions.
When the prophet Jesus the Christ is described in the Bible as ‘walking on water’, like many biblical narratives it has multiple meanings; some for the initiated and some not. Between the earthly and spiritual planes is what I have described as an ‘etheric’ plane. Ether similar or identical to Chi; it’s exact nature still defined by effect rather than cause.
It is said that Jesus ‘walked on water’ is a metaphor for the transition from the material into the etheric plane. The water represents ether and the body of Christ is his astral, not his physical body. Like much of spirituality, such things can be experienced and mastered during life; so as to ‘store treasure in Heaven’.
One of the functions of this ability to transcend our material bodies is to enable communication of the highest kind between spirit and mortals. Earth has been visited and given benign advice by angels and prophets many times in it’s history and these form the basis of mystery schools and mysticism but unfortunately much of the glory of such knowledge has historically and to this day, fallen victim of the self interest of religious leaders.
A left brain thought bias in the West leads many to consider only logically constructed thoughts, and yet some of the most important decisions we make in our lives originate in the right side of our brains. How we think is as important as what we think.
Finally, one must acknowledge that in the material world and it’s spiritual equivalent, there are tendencies to descend into chaos as well as to rise to perfection. The spirits that facilitate this amongst mankind are the angels and demons respectively. Through their benign and harmful machinations, human life has evolved into it’s present state of scientific materialism and atheism.
What is happening in this present time of uncertainty and human suffering is in my view, a product of ignoring the possibility and presence of non-material realms and those places and times that invite personal and collective ascension.
