Being a hard-core skeptic about almost all new-agey things, I reject most of the assorted oddball notions that people often associate with the circles. But the circles themselves are a true mystery, like nothing else on earth.

It would be very nice if the “skeptics” took a more open-minded look at the phenomenon. I think they would agree that there is a genuine puzzle. Unfortunately the Doug-Dave and similar publicity has allowed scientists and skeptics to attribute the patterns to hoaxing and to ignore the real evidence.

from ST:
I hear a fair number of explanations of where crop circles come from, but what seems to me to be elemental is that there are embodied creatures doing the job. Designs are being created, and designing is one characteristic of what so far we only know can be done by human beings who make choices — in this case about patterns and about placements. Something else that is embodied I would think would be a necessary element of the circle phenomenon. Maybe your comment doesn’t preclude that, where the source is somehow how wise we all are collectively and it comes through anything. But then, what is there to uplevel? Hmmmm.

But no argument about needing to uplevel our awareness.

from ST:
Agreed, no relationship between circles and cymatics re how they are made, just a possible origin for some of the patterns. And thanks for that clarification re the evolution. It always bothers me when described as simple to complex, especially because of that classic piece of the lore from 1678, known as the Mowing Devil, which certainly is not a simple circle.

Some of the ‘lodging’ even seems to defy the laws of physics and common sense altogether.

Need to tell you about an inaccuracy I noted, tho. Crop circle DO cross field boundaries, as well as roads, hedge-rows, etc., from time to time (see Item #3: http://www.bltresearch.com/otherfacts.php — and I have many other photos, from various countries)…..and the scientific evidence clearly indicates that the same “energy” sometimes creates “randomly-downed” (not geometric designs), sometimes in conjunction with geometric formations, sometimes not (Item #2: http://www.bltresearch.com/otherfacts.php, and second section of Part 1: http://www.bltresearch.com/fieldreports/uk2009.php) …..just thought you’d like to be aware of this.

Nancy is the expert from the science end of things, who knows what she is talking about. The only thing I’d add is that this info doesn’t contradict the point I was making about intentional placement in the fields. Even if there are some instances of formations crossing field boundaries, vast numbers of them would if all placements were random.

You hear opinions that sound was the key to the making the likes of the Pyramids, too. We talk in the film about the possibility we are heading for a vast shift where we will regain powers we once had. It’s one of my favorite points we make.

It would be extremely interesting if someone could take the designs of the many fabulous crop circles and figure out how to convert each specific design into its corresponding sound.

Your premise is that all the patterns do correspond to sounds but that does not seem likely. Much creative ingenuity tha seems to be original design for most of them.

We’re told that during the Aquarian Age the sciences will increasingly use sound as the key to creative work in many fields, such as physics, engineering, healing, etc. During the 1960s, I wrote in one of my notebooks, “Sound will be the foremost science of the 21st century.” That was an intuitive hunch, but I’m seeing more and more work at the frontier of many disciplines which suggest it was a correct hunch.
