We love our science fiction, but we titter when we talk about UFOs. People go into modes of rebuttal rather than accepting information as reportage. Have you been watching Larry King of late? He's done two programs about UFOs in the last two weeks, where government and military officials gave testimonials to their astonishing experiences, but, de rigueur, a member of the Skeptic's Society has been there to shoot them down.
The reality of another intelligence would be the biggest news since Galileo. When we found out Earth wasn't the center of the solar system, let alone not the center of the universe, we were freed from a worldview in which our planet dominated. Our social order then couldn't hold, and, in a less than lordly light, kings gave way to democracies and we got the science that defines our modern world.
With problems being global now, in order to keep our world habitable we need another new social order. It is imperative that we get past our worldview of scientific materialism, which creates an 'us or them' world in which we fight over goods and whoever has the most toys wins. We need to transcend factional behavior that stretches the disparity between the rich and the poor to where revolutions take place, and keeps us resorting to war to resolve conflicts.
A next leap would come if we knew there was other intelligent life. In relating to what's not ourselves, we would be one humanity, and we would have the lid off the smallness in which we gun for one another. It is reasonable that we can get to this awareness via the crop circle phenomenon, where the evidence of visitation is available to see and to study. In fact, the science that has been done on the phenomenon, and written up in peer reviewed pieces in science journals, concludes that something beyond our reality is delivering the circles to us. While what delivers the glyphs will remain a mystery, knowing that something is watching us and signaling us is enough — it's that they are, not who they are that's important.
Our government, on the premise that people would panic if they knew something beyond our control was engaging us, put a lid on investigating what could be other intelligences. See the REPORT OF SCIENTIFIC ADVISORY PANEL on UNIDENTIFIED FLYING OBJECTS CONVENED BY OFFICE OF SCIENTIFIC INTELLIGENCE, CIA January 14 – 18, 1953, for long-classified info on a meeting that set government policy, which was to ridicule rather than investigate UFOs. However, after many years of delivering non-threatening beauty, we could rest easy in the awareness that if the circles come from elsewhere there isn't going to be an invasion.
Just knowing we aren't alone would be a huge deal. However, if we established that, there could be more. The technology of 'the other' is more advanced than ours, which we can conclude since they are visiting us and not the other way around, and what they are capable of might help us solve our great environmental problems, like oil depletion and global warming, that threaten our survival.
Human begins have it in our psyches that we hate being conned — a fear that flourishes in the right and wrong world. But a higher order, that can subsume that one, is the realm of mystery. This cosmos is so awesome, where we continually pierce more of its veils, that some openness to what we don't know is good for us. It keeps us dreaming, a state in which new and better realities could be ushered in. Here's what my favorite cosmologist, physicist Brian Swimme, has to say about that, in reflections he made after seeing my almost finished documentary, WALKING IN CIRCLES:
Albert Einstein once remarked that for the human there is no more powerful feeling than that of the “mysterious.” In fact, he was convinced this feeling for the mysterious was the cradle for all works of science, art, and religion. In light of Einstein's conviction, one might ask: “What is the opposite of a feeling for the mysterious?” The opposite would be the sense that one understands it all. The opposite would be the feeling that one is in possession of a system that explains all the phenomena in the universe. For such a person, the universe loses its appeal for it becomes something we don't really need to pay attention to. The universe becomes an exemplification of a theory that one has already understood. No real surprises are possible, only the working out of a logical system through time. When a feeling for the mysterious is lost, one become s vulnerable to the various fundamentalisms plaguing our planet, each one with its passionate certainty that it has all the answers while every other system is just superstition.
In moments of stress and breakdown, there is a powerful drive in us to acquire answers and explanations. Certainly in our own time when we are dismantling ecosystems around the planet and deconstructing the stable climate upon which our civilization is based, we feel a deep need to know what is real and what is good and how to proceed. This need can become so great we are liable to latch onto one of these simplistic pseudo-explanations just to quell the feelings of fear and doom surfacing in us. “Walking in Circles” does not provide any such simplistic explanations. This restraint is one of its greatest achievements. By insisting that the Crop Circles are beyond any easy explanation, “Walking in Circles” enables us to make peace with living in the ambiguity of not knowing. This ability to live with ambiguity is related to a sense for the mysterious and together these two may be the most important factors for deep creativity to take place. At the very least, we need to realize that an embrace of ambiguity is a form of humility when confronted by the magnificent complexity of nature.
One of the great benefits of viewing WALKING IN CIRCLES is the feeling one can get of wading into the mysterious. Through its balanced and wide-open approach to the phenomena of crop circles, the film has the power to ease us out of some of the prior certainties we might have had. WALKING IN CIRCLES explores and celebrates the fact of the existence of these designs. And as we are guided into this reflection, we find ourselves considering new ideas about the nature of our universe. We begin to imagine that things might be different than we thought. We might even begin to release ourselves from some of the tired explanations lodged into our minds by the media. But most important of all, as we view the film we might even begin to feel stunned by the simple fact that here we are in the midst of this overwhelming mystery, the universe.

Spot on with the commentary which entirely echoes what we have been banging on about in The Aetherius Society for over 50 years and which I believe, along with the whole New Age crowd, is not just inevitable but increasingly imminent. Also, I think that Walking in Circles is both catchy and clever and have not been able to think of anything better. Good luck with the finished version!
From: Anne Baring [annebaring@freeuk.com]
I love your easy style of writing in the latest communication and you are so right – why don't we accept these amazing manifestations as coming from an intelligence cosmos instead of trying to deny that they have any meaning. I love the Brian Swimme quote as well. To me the cosmos is deeply mysterious and so extraordinary that really one should be striving with all one's might to be in touch with it.
I am going with a friend of mine to the crop circle conference in Devizes in ten days time and am really looking forward to it. I downloaded the Barbary Castle one onto my crop circle file yesterday, where it has joined about 100 others I have collected. Sometimes I just run through them to keep myself in touch with whoever is making them.
Keep working on that film. It is worth the delay to get it just right.

While we may disagree on global warming and progressive politics, I have no doubt you’re more than “on to something” with these examples of extraterrestrial communication and their potentially transformative impact on humanity. Your introductory essay this time is your best yet. Clear, compelling and useful.
Much thanks for all you do …. I can’t wait for the finished film.

A great writing on your crop circles. I have always been there with you on them, and just think that when we wake up they will come forward more. Thank you for all of your continuing great work.
From: Carol Moss [greenlotus@earthlink.net]
You have made this real and plausible to us…thank you for that!
From: RICK STOFF [guysndolls@prodigy.net]
Great trailer. I am excited. I have not seen some of these circles before and they are really amazing. Keep me posted.

when using his works for study material, and it was the one thing other people found almost impossible to deal with. I like his ideas a great deal, and thank you again for introducing me to his work three years or so ago, — they changed my way of thinking. Wishing you every wonderful push for your new film!A fabulous post and I adore Brian Swimme's ideas about embracing the mystery. It's really all we can do. We discussed this a lot at Global Mindshift
From: Kerry McKenna [k.blower@btinternet.com]
I couldn't agree more. But it appears that things are just getting worse on the croppie front as well as in the world. Men are still behaving like boys with toys (stomping boards) sneaking out at night and conning us as usual. They can't see any harm in it. They take drugs, get drunk and think that some higher entity is channelling through them. I wish they would get real and piss off…..
They all look awful lately, like they have weeks to live, smell of alcohol and then they have the cheek to say that they make 'healing circles' I think they all need to heal themselves first before feeling that they heal anyone else.
Why are they so horrid? I have tried to see all sides of the croppie arguements but just can't see the hoaxers point at all. They just don't make sense. They went out and made one last night near Woodborough Hill and did it just before dawn. God my guts just ache when I hear the crap that these people keep churning out year after year. They must be the saddest people I have ever come across in my life. As I said they are boys with toys and they are full of self importance and are not important to anyone at all.
I was in a room with a lot of them last week and the vibe was awful. I tried not to let it bother me but it got the better of me and I had to leave. Sorry just needed to vent.
From Suzanne to Kerry
Don't you wonder how such losers make good ones? And how much of it all is hoaxed? It seems so unbelievable that they can be so good, yet evidence seems to point to at least some of them being very good — like all those Aztec ones that to the best of my knowledge all are faked. How can they do such good work, and why are they investing so much time and energy? It is very bizarre.
From Kerry to Suzanne
I guess we have to be very careful not the throw the baby out with the bathwater as maybe just maybe the big complex designs are NOT man made afterall. I hear from time to time tittle tattle that some hoaxers are quite surprised by how certain patterns are made and it makes them scratch their heads in wonder.
They still don't know for certain who the main people are and how they have kept so secret all these years etc. So maybe they have just muddied the waters so much now that no-one knows anymore what is real. How come they are never caught or leave a circle half done and how come people are still having camera and camcorder failures in the circles if they are hoaxed? There are still far too many questions yet to be answered.
From: Gregory Hoak [landuin9@yahoo.com]
I believe that we each are choosing the path that is right for us during these tremendous times of acceleration of energy. Though the 3D world, by it's nature is dualistic, we chose to come here to experience certain particular 'things.' Many of us 'choose' not to move past this.
But, also, many of 'us' do. These persons, many times, are the people who are drawn inexorably toward the glyphs in the fields, much as you and I have been drawn to them. These people, methinks, have already transcended any ideology of 'us or them' — we only think about cooperation and the furthering of the ascension process for the Earth and ourselves — whatever that might entail.
Perchance I tend to hold a rather idealistic viewpoint about all of this, but it is mine to hold, and I so enjoy being full of hope. 🙂
I feel from your words that you are wondering about all of those who 'just don't get it,' or who 'need more proof.' To this I say that they who are called to understand. . . will. Everyone can't just 'get it,' but that's really, really okay. We are such a mixture of souls (and soul levels) here upon this demi-paradise we call Earth. And, whatever level each soul has progressed to engenders their viewpoint about the offerings of energy and light that come to us through the glyphs.
The cool thing is that we have all chosen to incarnate at this particular time and space to experience this grand awakening of humankind, hopefully, toward the next root race, or whatever word one would pick to delineate our ascension process. It has been spoken to me by guidance that 'It's like a gold star upon one's cosmic resume, to be incarnate here and now during this grand shift.'
You are so correct in your words that we would benefit so much from a worldwide acknowledgement that we 'are not alone,' and I feel your heartfelt yearning to this. Please know that all is happening in 'right time and right order,' and that it, indeed, will happen during our lifetime.
From Suzanne to Gregory
Thanks for the thoughtful response. I wouldn't argue with your comments, but would add the consideration that there may not be time for humanity to evolve itself before it destroys itself. I remember old times when it was all about our personal awareness and awakening, but it doesn't feel that way to me now. These days I'm impelled to contribute what I can to serve a mass awakening, where each individual still will need to do personal work but the thoughtform in which it occurs could shift to where it is occurring in a sustainable world.
