From disappointment to appointment

When we first heard about a Hollywood film about Crop Circles, anticipation was towards a long-awaited introduction of the phenomenon to the large audiences in an honest manner. But when the plot was revealed, it caused sighs of disappointment. The film offers to bring a solution to the Crop Circle mystery. Unfortunately the given explanation seems to have very little or nothing to do with true investigation of the Crop Circles. Neither do any of the interesting experiences of people visiting the crop formations, nor the channelled messages received by psychic people support such an explanation.

the possible ill effect of such an imaginary frightening view to the phenomenon can only be strengthened by words of anger, disgust and blame

Nevertheless, the possible ill effect of such an imaginary frightening view to the phenomenon can only be strengthened by words of anger, disgust and blame - nothing good comes out of complaining. It is my personal wish that the so-called Crop Circle community would direct their attention towards all the positive and absolutely marvelous aspects of the phenomenon, and instead of falling into a deppressed state because of some missguided individuals' or institutions' false concepts, promote these positive views. The publicity brought by the Mel Gibson movie certainly gives an opportunity for us all to spread our own ideas and information. Indeed, I feel it's my obligation (a joyfull one, not a burden) to use this opportunity in the best possible way!

Man-made crop circles are no threat to anyone!

I like to apply the same attitude also with other (numerous) negative publications of Crop Circle activity. The suppressing and misleading approach of media and official institutions towards phenomena like this should not come as a supprise to any of us. And I don't think it does either. So why should we make a big issue out of it? Should we gather together to lament all the mocking documentaries, articles and comments presented the mainstream media? Or should we instead put our heads and hearts together and think of means to convay the true spiritual and enlightening message of the Crop Circles and other fantastic marvels of our time?

It is also quite natural that the media is drawn to the people making or claiming to make patterns in the fields. And it is natural that some people are drawn to fields to make those patterns. There is no way to stop this at the moment, and certainly it can't be stopped with tools such as anger, accusation, jealousy, pride etc. These feelings only amplify the negative effects of such activity. The more croppies and reseachers complain about "hoaxers" and try to protect the "integrity" of an assumed uniform Crop Circle belief system, the more motivation is given to oppose such dogmatic attitudes. At this stage of our intellectual and spiritual evolution, we should know better not to get caught in religious dogmas and authority based religious institutions.

Crimes against farmers, crimes against nature

Saying this is not promoting the hoaxing of Crop Circles. Nevertheless, people are making patterns in crop and it must be accepted as part of the phenomenon. All the negative feelings and energies it is causing (not as much in the Circle makers themselves as the "audience" of their notorious artwork) must be lived through. Most of the harm done by human circle makers happens in the egos of people not wanting to let go of old belief systems. The "actual" harm is minimal to all people apart from the land-owners. I don't personally know much about the true material losses, but I assume they never reach catastrophic proportions and to my understanding in many cases the farmers are financially compensated for the losses.

Looking from a larger perspective, we can also take a view that attention to material issues must be directed towards more spiritual and ecological thoughts. It is possible that many farmers receiving crop circles in their fields (regardless of their origin) have a lesson to learn. For example, they are using synthetic toxic chemicals as fertilisers and pesticides, which is done in order to make more financial profit, not giving a second thought for the harm done to nature. The same farmers are also feeding unnatural food to their cattle, which according to many expert opinions can be the true cause for diseases such as the BSE and foot-and-mouth. Who are the criminals? It is not always so black and white!

Seeing the BIG picture, once again!

In any case, no man-made crop circle can take away the meaning and content of the true Crop Circle phenomenon. This it can only do in the heart of individuals who are stuck in polarity consciousness (in the need for black and white explanations and opinions). Indeed, witnessing extraordinary energies and side-effects in man-made formations only serve to further underline the true message the Crop Circles and associated phenomena are teaching us: We are a part of the whole, part of the amazing process the Earth is going through right now.

Eventually we learn to be grateful for the opportunities to process our dark feelings.

Any negative and painful emotions we experience that are caused by things which do not actually threaten us (very few things actually do), come to our attention in order to be released or transformed into light. They can only be released or transformed by going through them, experiencing them. The man-made Crop Circles are not a real threat towards anyone except the farmers (seen only from a materialistic point of view), hence all negative emotions rising in anyone else must be something he or she has to work on. Eventually we learn to be grateful for the opportunities to process our dark feelings. Of course also the circle makers are groing through their lessons. They may be making the crop circles out of negative motivations, or they may get involved in very negative experiences through making them. It is all a process, it all happens for a purpose. If some of them are misguided, it doesn't mean we have to be!

The opportunity that is given to us, all of us, right now, is something absolutely amazing, something absolutely positive, absolutely born of light and love. This can be felt in Crop Circles, in many amazing telepathic experiences, in dream encounters, in ever increasing synhronous relationships etc. However, to take heed of this opportunity is not easy for anyone. We have to go through lots of painful experiences, which are mostly about getting rid of the old stuff and opening complex emotional knots. Though our beliefs are originally false, they have been fed to us through so many generations, that we have learned to accept them as the only truth. As soon as we accept the possibility of having learned things the wrong way, yet not feeling worthless, our path becomes lighter.

Negative attitudes produce negative experiences. Fighting against something produces more to fight against.

Positive attitudes produce positive experiences. Fighting FOR something
produces more to fight for - and less to fight against.

The SIGNS are there. They are plenty and they work in mysterious ways. The mysteries can only be solved within each individual.
