READING THE SIGNS...
What's behind the symbolism found in formations?
PART TWO
Apart from landing on the White House lawn, if an alien life force wished to communicate with us, what's their easiest option?...And just what kind of communicative language would they use? Surely it's logical to assume they would employ maths and geometry that's familiar to us...for after all it's the basic language of the Cosmos.
From here on in it doesn't take an awful lot to realise that crop circles are born out of another reality trying to communicate with us. And what's more it's through a symbolic picture language of sorts, that's entirely made up by geometric number and figure. Words alone simply haven't the same ability to contain a message as do symbols, which notably conceal revelation and higher truths.
Believe me, they're simply not just pretty patterns! These beautiful gifts that explode with mind-blowing complexity and imaginative flair throughout our fields, have a real message for us. Time and time again they're issuing profound statements regarding imminent transition and dimensional change, which if we're reading them correctly, could likely mean we're about to undergo some sort of re-birthing process that's long been prophesied.
There's no doubt about it, these stylish glyphs can't help but ooze spiritual intent and so it looks like we're either dealing with a highly spiritualised version of ET, or directly from inter-dimensional beings that are said to reside within spirit realms. Inspired by spiritual motives, the unseen creation of a crop circle even reflects the simple truth that spirit does indeed integrate into matter!

The symbolic shape we're about to discuss next takes the simple circle a stage further. It's certainly derived from one, and is known to perfectly symbolise re-birth and renewal as you're about to discover. This unique shape is the building block for a remarkable geometric figure that's known as "The Genesis (Gene-of-Isis) Geometry", and far from being just that, is commonly found in many of nature's patterns.
THE VESICA PISCES
The Christianised Vesica Pisces (vessel of the fish) originated from the ancient Egyptian glyph (Ru) which was known to symbolise the mouth or vulva. This "fish" or almond shaped lozenge is found by intersecting two circles that share the same radius. Looking at it vertically it mimics quite perfectly the birth canal through which we entered the physical, whereas if you turn the whole thing horizontally it resembles a mouth, which in the end becomes our only means of escape!
As we discussed in part one, the circle is that which represents God with a capital "G". With the addition of a second sphere we are viewing a state of perfect equilibrium between equals...the coming together through a dual relationship of God and Goddess, male and female, in order to co- create. The diagram verifies this when you come to realise that through the circles intersecting each other, they have created two crescents. One that waxes and one that wanes...which obviously serves to bring our attention to the principles of duality.
The Vesica though is first and foremost the symbol of birth and renewal, and because of its inclusion in many crop circle designs it appears "The Circlemakers" wish us to acknowledge this. Just look at the diagram again, are we not confronted with the very first division of a cell? - The very first defining moment of life itself? Here we are seeing the active principal of growth by division. The second circle precisely duplicates the first, in the manner of God creating Man in his own image.

Geometrically we can progress further with the Vesica by continuing to overlap circles until we complete a six-petalled flower. This esoteric figure is known as "The Genesis Flower" and each petal represents a day in the act of creation. It relies upon six circles, plus a seventh at "rest" in the centre that literally blossoms! Here lies God in celebration of his work at the very centre of all creation.

As you can see, (fig.1) illustrates how the six outer circles continually overlap in a Vesica fashion until they complete a central flower. But whilst (fig. 2) illustrates a formal example of a "Genesis Flower" that appeared at Broad Street, nr. Maidstone in Kent during August 2000, "The Circlemakers" have often tried to re-work this amazing design further, as the following diagram and photos illustrate...

If we continue to overlap circles we'll eventually discover a very sacred pattern that's known as "The Flower of Life" (fig.4). Not unlike the seed-head of a dandelion, its middle section which consists of seven interconnected circles, is aptly named "The Seed of Life" (fig.5). It goes without saying that within a flower a seed is produced, and once again we can instantly recognise birth and renewal.

It might well surprise you to learn that within the Avebury/Silbury environs of Wiltshire, there's a hidden floorplan accurately woven into it that's based upon Vesica geometry. By placing a compass point right in the hole that opened up in the top of Silbury Hill, you can seek a relationship with the West Kennet Longbarrow and accurately form a Vesica Pisces (fig. 6)
Fig. 6
For a number of reasons I've always regarded Silbury as the true epi-centre for crop circles and not Avebury. As an earthen mound that recently yielded a late Neolithic radiocarbon date of about 2490-2340 BC, I cant help but look upon this enigmatic monument as that which might've been purposely built in order to symbolise "The Primeval Mound". For here we have a strategically placed structure, that symbolically represents the Earth Mother that brings forth and eternally renews. Just look at how accurate the geometric link is between that which "eternally renews", and the West Kennet Longbarrow that was known to function as a re-birthing chamber!
Fig. 7
By continuing with the geometry we can eventually form a "Genesis Flower" (fig.7) that picks up on the un-excavated East Kennet Longbarrow that's broadly contemporary with the W.K. barrow, as well as other tumuli mounds etc. If we're to look upon Silbury as being central to all this though, then surely it should be located in the middle of the flower? Obviously that does actually make more sense, and when Silbury is placed there and the geometry is developed into a full-blown "Flower of Life" it's a better fit! The Sanctuary, Avebury Avenue, Windmill Hill and the Long Stones, as well as many more mounds etc are acknowledged.
Looking at just the overlaid centre flower with Silbury in its middle (fig.8), we're reminded once again of what's behind the basic symbolism of a circle with a smaller circle or dot at its centre. It's a common design feature found in quite a number of formations as I explained further in part one.
Fig. 8
Diagrammatically the black dots that represent Silbury and the W.K. Longbarrow are just a tad on the large side, but as for the six-petalled overlay I think you'll find it's fairly accurate. Forgive me if I've missed a few, but the other rings that are dotted about represent most of the crop circle activity within this central flower over the past few years or so. Whilst some of them might not be placed as accurately as I would have wished, I can assure you they're not far off! What's really important here though is that "The Circlemakers" are actually appearing to pay homage to an underlying figured landscape. They certainly cluster here...arriving on or within a whisker of, an invisible and precisely laid Genesis pattern. And what's more these beautiful gifts that continually announce renewal, appear to be doing so within an area that once was absolutely dedicated to it!
