A starting point for this interpretation was the name of the place
- "Overton Hill" (I'm not the first person to associate
crop circles messages with the names of their locations). "Overton"
is almost like "overtone", isn't it? What is an overtone
then? Each sound created by people, an instrument or virtually anything
has a base tone and several overtones ringing at higher frequencies.
The relative volume of the overtones actually define the "colour"
of the tone, though we usually don't hear the individual overtones.
But overtones are not just a property of sound. It is my belief that
this is part of the general fractal nature of our world. All that
we see, hear, feel, think... everything is an expression of a divine
principle of "as above, so below" - or vice versa. Practically
this means that all expressions of nature contain copies or variations
of themselves in a fractal manner, at higher frequencies or smaller
scale.
Thus we people also have different bodies on different frequencies.
We have the physical body, but it has as its "overtones"
several higher frequential bodies; the astral (emotional), mental
and causal bodies. Each body again is divided into a scale of seven
notes, or chakras, also known as energy centers. So your body and
mind can resonate on these different notes of the "bodily scale",
yet none of the higher notes exist without the lower ones. This means
you can not "play" the second note until you have played
the first one...
The same is true with planet Earth. It has these several bodies as
well. We people as inhabitants of the planet are currently at the
same level (or scale) - the physical level, or third level as it is
often called. But as several contemporary spiritual thinkers say (and
which I perfectly believe), we are about to move on to the fourth
level and after that rather quickly into the fifth.

The "staircase" has four steps, and the
circle in the end is actually the "passage" into the fifth
step, not visible yet. It is easy to imagine that the large circle
represents the Earth and each step of the staircase represents it's
levels or "overtones" (marked by the bold numbers from
1 to 5). As you see, the 3rd step is punctuated by the small circle
- pointing our current level on the 3rd, physical level.
When we evolve from one level to another (or move
along the scale from one octave to another), each time a specific
chakra is more important than the other. To move from the 3rd level
to the fourth we need to work on our 4th chakra, which is the heart
energy center. This is why a lot of the work being done is associated
with the heart chakra; learning about love, harmony, respect - getting
rid of emotional dependencies, jealousy, anger...
The "scheme" presented by this diagram shows
how we are supposed to move from the 3rd level into the 4th but
even towards the 5th. The point located on the passage from the
4th to the 5th level is even surrounded with an additional ring,
as to make us pay special attention to that point.
The smaller numbers indicate how each step is longer
than the previous one; the first step is 4 units, the next one is
5, then 6. But the fourth step is as long as the third, what does
this mean? Perhaps this is to indicate that the passage from the
fourth to the fifth level must be hastened? BUt if we count in the
last turn, we do get the 7 units expected. Maybe at the end of the
4th level there's some special twist to be expected?
Accelerating time and the Mayan Calendar
A very interesting detail in this designs is that
if you project the corners of the staircase (marked with black dots)
onto the horizontal line defined by the underlying geometrical structure,
the distances between the projected points are even, all the way
from level 0 (the center of the large circle) to level 4...

...but not beyod that! You see, if you were to continue
the staircase, to keep it coherent with the previous steps you would
have to go on along the circular borders (see how all the steps
curve along the borders defined by the white circles). Projected
to the horizontal line, the 5th corner would no longer match the
rhythm (a much shorter distance from 4 to 5). And the 6th corner
would reverse the horizontal beat!
Considering the whole system is built over two sets
of circles (the way you can see from the diagram), this is an ingenious
way of including a steady and an accelerating pulse of movement
in only one pattern! This fits the concept of the Mayan Calendar,
which tells us the true "creation time" is in fact accelerating
compared to the regular astronomical cycles we synchronize our clocks
with! Furthermore, it tells that by 2012 (or 2011) we encounter
a climax in this development; no more acceleration is possible.
Let us play with the idea that the horizontal line indeed represents
our linear concept of time...
An additional observation we can make now is that
as the passage moves from the 4th to the 5th level, it takes us
across the horizontal line; from below it to above it! This fits
with the chakra development, because in the 7 chakras system, the
4th chakra is the one in the middle and it is actually the portal
between the lower "earthly" chakras and the upper "heavenly"
chakras! When you move the focus of your being through the 4th chakra,
the heart, you also move your energy from an earthly plane to a
more cosmic or heavenly plane. Also, in the middle of the 4th step,
we pass one of the two major centre points of the who design (the
second being the centre of the "Earth").
Until this point, the movement along the horizontal
axis was always going steadily forward (from right to left, when
observed this way). But now this forward movement halts, and for
a split second there is only vertical movement. And then the horizontal
movement reverses, but just very slightly, because soon there is
the leap towards the fitfth level. And this is exactly where our
attention is taken to; the final circle with the ring around it.
It points out the place (in time) where there is no going forward
anymore, at least not with the old system. So according to this
particular diagram, at this point (possibly 2012?) something really
turns upside down!
In the last diagram you can see that the first four
steps just barely fit within the "Earth", after which
the staircase "breaks through" the Earth's boundaries.
Perhaps this is to signify that moving further from the 4th level
takes us out of the Earthly dimension...

So, to put the message briefly: ”You are at
the third frequency level of existence, and you are about to move
through the fourth level into the fifth. This will also take you
through a major boundary, which involves a great change of the planet.
Dont' expect things to flow in a linear fashion, because time is
accelerating; when you're clock beats seems to stay steady, in fact
more and more things happen during each consequtive beat!”
I can't say if this is the message the Circle makers intented to
pass on, but if I was supposed to receive and understand it then,
like the famous singer, I did it my way.
A final note: The ideas of the Mayan calendar presented
in this article are mostly based on the work of Carl Johan Calleman.
According to his view, the end of the calendar hits us already in
October 2011. More information at www.calleman.com
