The 'Wise Owl' Crop Circle formation appeared at Woodborough Hill, near Alton Barnes, Wiltshire .... Reported on the 10th of August 2009 !

The Owl is an ancient symbol for wisdom and deep inner knowledge of spirit ... Taking symbolism from the owl directly, it is noteworthy that it is a creature of the night. Nocturnal creatures are symbolic of inner-knowing, psychic ability, and intuition – so too is the Owl.


The Owl is the bringer of wisdom. The all-seeing owl possesses supernatural qualities and is often associated with intuition, clairvoyance and clairaudience. The Owl’s energy is at its peak in the very heart of darkness. When we are plunged into blindness and disorientation. He penetrates the darkness of the blackest night. Seeing and hearing that which others cannot.



The Animal symbolism of the Owl represents :

  • Wisdom
  • Mystery
  • Transition
  • Messages
  • Intelligence
  • Mysticism
  • Protection
  • Secrets


In ancient Egyptian, Celtic, and Hindu cultures the symbolic meaning of Owl revolved around guardianship of the underworlds, and a protection of the dead.

In this light the Owl was ruler of the night and seer of souls.

The Owl is sacred to the Greek goddess of learning, Athena and is even depicted on some Greco-Roman currency as a symbol of status, intelligence and of course, wealth.

It should be clear that the Owl was honored as the keeper of spirits who had passed from one plane to another. Often myth indicates the Owl accompanying a spirit to the underworld - winging it's newly freed soul from the physical world into the realm of spirit.



Native Americans associated the meaning of Owl with wisdom, foresight, and keeper of sacred knowledge. This may largely be due to the fact that the owl is a great foreteller of weather conditions. Also its ability to see at night is legend among the Native Americans, and this attribute would be invoked during ceremonies when an oracle of secret knowledge was required.

Similarly, West African and Aboriginal Australian cultures viewed the owl as a messenger of secrets, kin to sorcerers, as well as companions to seers, mystics and medicine people.


A magical creature of the forest enigmatic and powerful.

If the owl is calling you, or you are aware of the owl being present in your life, dreaming or waking. You are being called upon to open your eyes, ears and mind to the truth of a situation. To listen to the wisdom deep in your heart and soul. That still small voice is trying to reach you in some way. To assist you or help you in a current challenge you may be facing.

Tap into the power of the Owl by calling on your own intuition, listen to your own wisdom for there is something you need to see or hear. As the owl is so strongly associated with the night time, his wisdom may come to you while you slumber. So take the time to be aware of your dreams or make a special effort to remember and write down any important dreams you have. The Owl is a messenger that can bring clarity and illumination.

The Pineal Gland or the 'Seat of the Soul' as described by Rene Descartes, is the focal point of our spiritual guiding system which makes us go beyond the five senses of rationality and become multisensory, tuned into and aware of higher dimensions of consciousness within a holographic cosmos. Cannabis or Marijuana among other psychedelics facilitates the activation of the pineal gland and helps turn on the third eye or the mind's eye directing our spiritual evolution to wholeness.

Here is an article by Chris Bennett on Cannabis & the Power of the Pineal Gland ...


Pineal Power

((( The Pineal Gland is the Key to Psychedelic Enlightenment )))


The pineal gland, located in the centre of the brain, is about a quarter of an inch in size, reddish-gray, and weighs about one-tenth of a gram. Unlike other parts of the brain which come in pairs, the pineal gland is singular. Its location in the center of the brain and presence in other species indicates it is an older part of humanity's evolutionary brain system.

The pineal gland is present in all lower vertebrae. In other species, like birds, reptiles and frogs, the pineal gland is called the parietal eye or "third-eye" as its functions closely resemble that of an actual eye. In these other species, the pineal gland has components of an actual eye, with a cornea, rod and cone. It is considered to be the vestige of a functional sense organ of early primitive vertebrates.

Directly affected by the light taken in through the eyes, the pineal regulates sleep, menstrual cycles, mating seasons, hibernation, seasonal flight patterns and many other "instinctual" behaviors.


: Tryptamine Trippiness :

Psychedelic researcher Dr Rick Strassman has explained how the pineal gland "is quite active in synthesizing compounds related to serotonin, an important neurotransmitter in the brain. Neurotransmitters are the chemical messengers allowing communication among individual nerve cells. Most typical psychedelic drugs, such as LSD, mescaline, psilocybin, and DMT are active in brain sites which are also affected by serotonin. In addition, most of these drugs are similar in their chemical structure to serotonin." Strassman states that most of the above substances belong to the "tryptamine" class of drugs, and proposed that the pineal gland produces "one or two endogenous tryptamines found in human blood and cerebrospinal fluid. This latter fluid continually bathes the brain, and compounds found in it most likely affect brain function." Strassman also explains how "psychedelic drugs, meditational states, spontaneous near-death experiences and other phenomena which may induce stereotypic death/rebirth and paradisal/hellish states act via the pineal gland.

Lyttle points to the universal mystic vision of God as an all-consuming white light, and postulates that on a physiological level, this experience is produced from chemical reactions in the pineal gland which is extremely light sensitive. "Light, the eyes and the 'third eye' or pineal gland form a triad which directly controls and regulates normal or altered consciousness and many bodily functions? these three factors are also directly related to, or implicated in, mystical states and the 'psychedelic' experience." Visions of white light are not only associated with mysticism and psychedelic explorations, but are also a prevalent image recorded by those who experience the near-death state. A reason for this recurring theme in near-death states may be found with Dr Strassman, who suggests that after death, as the pineal gland shuts down, some of the chemical present in it may turn into "psychedelic" drugs!

According to Dr Strassman, the pineal gland may not only play an important role in death, but also in birth, possibly even in rebirth... The pineal gland first becomes visible in the human fetus at the same time as does the clear differentiation of the fetus into female or male gender. The time for both of these events is 49 days, the period of time that, according to several Buddhist texts, the life force of a deceased individual coalesces around its next corporeal existence. If the life force does indeed enter through the pineal, the manifestation of this coming and going would be the release of psychedelic tryptamines, which would mediate the visionary experiences associated with near-death, and near-birth states.





: Spiritual Traditions :

Certain initiatory cults, such as Tantrism, Kundalini and Gnosticism, acknowledged the role of the pineal gland in the spiritual process. The spiritual/instinctual life force was seen as a serpent, due to its physical structure extending from the genitals, through the spine and up into its single all-seeing eye in the pineal gland. These spiritual systems focussed around the raising of this primordial serpentine energy, based in the genitals and at the core of the pro-creative process. Through certain yogic practices this energy can be reversed and forced to travel up the spine into the brain, where it is reputed to cause "enlightenment". In the Kundalini system, which has seven distinct energy centers, the pineal gland has been variously identified with the "Ajna Chakra" and alternatively the "Sahasrara Chakra". Both pre-Christian Mithraic and second century Gnostic texts also distinctly refer to the pineal gland in relation to seven distinct energy centers and this serpentine energy.


Not surprisingly, a common experience of those who have successfully raised their kundalini is the vision of all-consuming white light. More importantly, the devotee who successfully raises the kundalini experiences a radical switch in consciousness, obliterating the sense of individuation, and enters Nirvana. Another potential reference to this curious little gland may occur at the end of the New Testament book of Revelation, where we find that the elect will know God intimately, "his name will be in their foreheads," which is where the pineal deeply lies. Noting the gland's strong connection with light, the rest of the passage is interesting: "There will be no more night; they will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, for the Lord God will give them light." Likewise in the Qabalistic tradition, the primordial archetypical man, Adam Kadmon, shines forth with a light from his forehead that was rich in complex patterns and linguistic symbols.


Similar imagery occurs in the Persian tradition of the light-like sacred fluid, the "vivifying and spermatic" xvarenah. "Ahura Mazda is preeminently the possessor of xvarenah, but this 'flame' also springs from the forehead of Mithra and like a solar light emanates from the heads of sovereigns." This mind-light from the forehead is also identical with the 3rd Eye of Shiva, which when opened in the individual burns away the concept of ego-bound consciousness, and when opened collectively has the potential to burn away the ties and fetters of the Old World Order.

Perhaps if enough modern psychonauts achieve the pineal experience we can push this new frame of mind onto the rest of ego-bound humanity. Here at the turning of the millennia, in the apocalyptic year of 1999, never has the potential for the state of mind which has been the goal of yogic sages, and psychedelic voyagers alike been so possible to attain for humanity as a whole.

'Spirit World : Evidence Of The Ether' is a feature length documentary by Enigma Motion Pictures featuring Chris Everard & David Icke about the esoteric knowledge of ether and the power of magical rituals used by Shamans, Psychics, Scientists and Secret Societies such as the Illuminati to tune into higher dimensions and other worldly beings.


The contents of Chris Everard's documentaries tend to promote the idea of 'evil' associated with secret societies broadly termed as the Illuminati. Evil in our understanding of the term are actions which do not help in the evolution of the Soul, hence we have karma which works on the causal principles of the universe and reincarnation which brings the soul back to further it's evolutionary process and continue to learn. Evil and the idea of demonic forces are no more than illusions of the 'Ego', a false sense of self which feeds on fear brought forth as a result of the illusion of separation from all of creation.

This idea is presented repeatedly throughout most of the Enigma Channel documentaries on the Illuminati hence offering a good opportunity for each one us to transcend the dualistic viewpoint and let unconditional love for all shine within our being and reverberate throughout the cosmos ... Now is when we believe what we know to be true from the deepest recesses of our being ... and realize our role as co-creators in shaping the neo paradigm of Love, Light & Oneness ...





Believe nothing unless it resonates well with your deep inner knowing ... Once the old ways of fear have been transcended, the new light of love will shine on all ... the world will live as One !


((( Shine On )))

The Aquarius Full Moon Penumbral Lunar Eclipse on the 5th & 6th of August ushers in a wave of new energy to accelerate our spiritual evolution making our journey even more exciting with new dimensions added to our sense of awareness and our understanding of time ...




Here is a channeling by DL Zeta on the spiritual significance of the Aquarius Full Moon Penumbral Lunar Eclipse of August 2009 ...

Energies of the August 5/6 lunar eclipse are here now. This powerful energetic opening has been felt with increasing intensity in recent weeks. The third in a triad of summer eclipses, this cosmic doorway carries signatures for emotional sensitivity, spiritual knowing, psychic openings and the recognition of latent creative and artistic abilities.

Interwoven with these signatures are the culminating and expanding frequencies of a full moon in Aquarius. The full moon seeks to bring things to fruition, and in Aquarius it promotes themes of global unity, humanitarianism, creativity and inventiveness. A full moon is always powerful, but with a lunar eclipse, the energies are magnified tenfold.


The Expansion of Aquarian Themes Points the Way to the Future

Aquarius, along with its ruler, Uranus, seeks to create transformation by bringing new perspectives to old situations. Aquarius/Uranus have a profound desire to bring advances in art, science, politics, and literature, and to pave the way for a new type of human understanding that fosters global unity and universal love. The themes of this lunar eclipse point the way to the shape and flow of life on Planet Earth in times to come.


Aquarian Eclipses through the Lens of Time

This week’s lunar eclipse is the last in a series of eclipses in Aquarius that began in February 2008. There will not be another eclipse in Aquarius for another eight years. Through this lens of time, it can be understood how this eclipse signals the end of an era and the beginning of the New Time. The energies are orienting human consciousness to an expanded time.


Summer 2009: The Summer of Transformation

The August 5/6 eclipse is the last in a triad of summer eclipses ushering in a series of reality shifts on Planet Earth. These shifts are occurring on different levels, including Earth changes, personal transformations and challenges, events on the world’s stage, and interdimensional openings.

The lunar eclipse of July 6/7 lifted veils between dimensions, making it easier to receive messages and information from high-level guides and entities. It was followed by a total solar eclipse on July 21/22, the longest solar eclipse of the 21st-century. The energies of that powerful eclipse were designed to open heart centers and clear anything that stands in the way of unconditional love.

This third summer eclipse is an opening that will allow greater access to other dimensions in consciousness. Because a lunar eclipse is created by the Earth’s positioning between sun and moon, it temporarily blocks the sun’s radiance from the moon, opening an energetic portal. This week’s ‘portal’ offers an opening to step free of linear time and experience beyond the space/time continuum.


Global Intention is the Key to this Week’s Lunar Eclipse

Spiritual undertakings already “on the table” at this time can manifest easily and effortlessly. This is especially the case for literary and creative efforts that carry the intention to assist others on a global scale. Humanitarian efforts receive a great boost at this time. Anything undertaken with the intention to assist or bring about the greatest good for all will take wings during this time of the August lunar eclipse.


Expanded Possibilities and Identify Shifts are Supported

This is a time when it’s easy to make timeline and identity shifts, to adopt new regimens, spiritual practices and begin to see one’s self in a new and more expanded light.

This is overall an excellent time to initiate positive change in your life, but being able to fully utilize these energies will require a willingness to release all that stands in the way of the next step of your path.


Clearing the Way for the New Time

As with all things, the old must be cleared to make way for the new. This full moon lunar eclipse has the power to crumble situations not aligned with the energies of the New Time. Relationships may end during this time as those newly awakened are called to examine which connections truly resonate. This can be a time of emotional instability as it seemingly becomes difficult to find any "solid ground" on which to stand. The only thing one can rely on during this time is one’s inner guidance.


Working with this Week’s Powerful Cosmic Portal

The moment of an eclipse is just the opening; its influence can extend into weeks, months and beyond. The portal created this week will extend into coming weeks and months. On a personal level, aspects in one’s astrology chart determine the intensity and timing of eclipse influences. Those with aspects in Leo and Aquarius are likely to feel this eclipse more intensely than others. If the energies feel overwhelming, it’s a good time to consult a professional astrologer to understand what is being asked of you at this time.

This is a time to daily enter a place of openness and allowing. Whatever comes before you this week, remain in a place of compassion, patience and understanding for yourself and others. Bring your focus to themes of teamwork, progress, change, humanitarian goals, global unity and unconditional love. Hold in awareness your highest vision for your long-term dreams and goals and ask your guides for steps of how you can greatly advance manifestations at this time.

There will be a "reactivation" of this week’s themes as retrograding brings them to the forefront again in November 2009 and in January 2010.
