"Ask her: 'If you saw me, would you tell anyone?'"

I took deva's cue. I softly inquired, "Lois, if you saw glow of this deva right now . . . if you communicated with it in some way . . . would you tell anyone?"

"No, absolutely not!" she replied immediately, abruptly sitting up straight in her chair. "I've gotten in such trouble talking about things like that. You can lose friends that way."

Lois' reply was so terse and fearful, I realized instantly why she never experienced spiritual visions, multisensory awareness or communications with other dimensions. The barrier was her own unconsciously held, internal, emotional belief system. She believed if she communicated with nonphysical world and people found out, they would think she was a foolish old woman. Lois was afraid people would say she was crazy. This, in turn, would cause her an enormous degree of shame. Lois was in denial. Unconsciously, of course, as with all denial. She was actually refusing contact, blocking herself from opening to connection she so desperately longed for in her life.

Now I understood. I thought to myself, Each of us is in charge of what kind of spiritual experiences we can and do have. By receptivity level of our own unconscious, emotional beliefs, we determine how much we can open to full array of all possible dimensions and aspects of life. We are keepers and creators of our own magic and miracles.

I shared my insight with Lois. She definitely saw how she psychologically hindered her own ability to have spiritual experiences for which she so longed. I assisted Lois to feel, release and integrate her strong emotions about publicly expressing her natural spiritual abilities. After a short while, Lois was much lighter and a lot freer of vibration generally called "fear. She felt very open to possibility of developing her innate spiritual skills no matter who found out about them!

The last time I connected with Lois, she reported she's seeing a distinct glow around certain flowers in her garden. She's also feeling a definite, strong presence and a long-desired tranquility when speaking to her roses. Last week, a daffodil actually talked back!

And, she no longer keeps her magic to herself. She's told two friends so far. And they don't think she's a crackpot. In fact, they'd like to learn themselves how to converse with plant spirits.

Many researchers have embraced Gaia awareness as a meaningful explanation of crop circles. Their perspective is that Earth is now undergoing a re-alignment. The planet can no longer support anti-life tendencies and continuous disregard human populations have shown, and seeks to readjust all forms of consciousness to its new directive. From this point of view, crop circles are a "spiritual nudge" which is designed to awaken us to our larger context and milieu, which is none other than our collective Earth soul.

Transformative Effects of Crop Circles

For decades through out world, ordinary people have reported remarkable, extra-normal experiences while standing in crop circles: Spontaneous physical healings, Intense energy surges through body, Time slippage and mystical visions, Transcendent spiritual openings, Feeling of a supersensory Presence, Seeing moving balls of light, Altered states of awareness Increased feeling of well-being, Malfunction of mechanical devices, and Malfunction of watches, phones and compasses.

The Case for Crop Circles as Intelligent, Non-human Creations

Crops grow faster, taller, healthier after crop circle formation. The land gives greater yield of crops after circle formation. The DNA molecular structure is changed in crop stems. Crop circles have been appearing for over 300 years. Luminous balls of light appear at time of formation. Stalks are bent, but not broken or damaged-as occurs with all mechanical attempts to create crop circles by people.

The Case for Circles as an Intelligent Force Trying to Communicate with Us

Crop circles demonstrate considerable evidence that they are an expression of an aware and wise consciousness. Many agriglyph formations simultaneously represent perfect aspects of many disciplines, such as "Julia Set" formation in a field opposite Stonehenge in England. To mathematicians, this formation is an exact reproduction of computer-generated fractal "Julia Set" image. To a musician, same formation is a base clef. To a marine biologist, it's an accurate cross- section of a nautilus. To scientist, it constitutes a mammal with precisely correct number of vertebrae.

Other crop patterns reflect with equal precision traditional spiritual symbols of many Earth cultures: Egyptian and Babylonian ceremonial tablets, Chinese language characters for " spirit," Ancient Celtic cross, African symbol for fertilization, Indian petroglyphs and sacred art, Navajo symbol for "Earth out- of-balance," Hopi sign for: "Joining of Mother Earth to Father Sky," Anazasi Indian symbol for "Great change," Sacred numbers of Mayan calendar, Accurate maps of stars in sky, Six flower symbol of sacred geometry, Ratios, like "phi" that govern growth of life, Calendars of ancient civilizations, Pictograms of pre-historic Britain, and Snake patterns-like Indian serpent mounds-that represent transformation and alchemy.

The imagination of humankind swirls in much same way as grain in fields across globe, as ever more intricate and elaborate crop circles appear each year. The crop circle is an exciting and evolving mystery in our ancient relationship to our native planet.
