The
facts
For a few
decennia now we have a new phenomenon: crop
circles. Is it a hoax? Is it of an alien
origin? From the civil point of view we do
not know. Some guys named D.
and D.,
who turned out to have contacts with the
american and british Intelligence Agencies,
undermined in 1991 public belief by stating
that they at least made 300 of them since
1978 (against 9000 of them registered all
over the world in 1999). On request though
they were not able to reproduce any of them
to a satisfying degree that could match with
the real phenomenon. The guys today maintain
a (professional) website
instructing on how to make your own circles.
Apparently this is an action of legally
covering it up (see also a
Crash Course on Crop
Circles).
Studying
other internet sites about the phenomenon we
learn that first of all the phenomenon is not
new: "The earliest known formation was in
1647 in England. They appeared in
significant numbers in the early 70's as
individual circles that swirled either
clockwise, or counterclockwise. A major
transformation occurred in 1990 when the
circles became complex pictograms composed of
straight lines, angles and spiral rings "
(see crop
circles
defined).
Only the last decennia since the 1980-ies
there has been a process of arriving at
observations of more and more complex crop
circles that seem to be part of a
communication pattern. There are many
theories about this phenomenon: a certain
site mentions at least nine
basic
theories
of which the so called plasma vortex-theory
has the broadest scientific support.
Scientific investigation of the crop circle
phenomenon has proved a difference in the
circles themselves. About 10 % (see
the
crash course for crop circle
beginners
and an article about The
origin of anomalies in crop
circles
) of the circles do not show the anomalies
that are typical for 'genuine' circles and
can thus be assigned to human actions. At
some year there could be observed more crop
circles of human origin than of unknown
origin. The genuine circle has some
characteristics that can not be reproduced by
human action: they contain levels of
microwave radiation, bent and not broken
stems, changes of growth rate, enlargement of
the nodes, signs of super quick heating,
dehydration of the soil and mutations of the
DNA of the plants. These signs can at best be
explained according to dr.
L.
(in N.
T.
-
Cropformations: A biophysical
investigation.)
by the reality of a plasma vortex as can be
observed in natural lightening. The problem
is that this plasma vortex which apparently
made such an intricate pattern cannot be
explained by natural phenomena. There must be
a technology of controlling such an energy to
produce these patterns. This technology is
not known at this planet and therefore at
least 80% of the crop circles are of an
unknown 'alien' origin. Of this there is no
doubt. Circles have been observed appearing
within an hour over area's as large as 1,5
miles. A feat that with present earth
technology is impossible. 
Above
that there have been several observations of
peculiar light phenomena like bright orange
or other colored balls of light and sound
phenomena around the circles before as well
as after their appearance. From the film
left, a hoax according some critics, one can
see how unknown lightballs are whirling the
circles. And all this has its appearance all
over the world now. The conclusion is that
some intelligence is writing messages in
symbol circle code to us on the face of
mother earth and we are baffled.
Psychology
What do
people do being confronted with unknown
phenomena? They do whatever they can that is
within their scope of control. As such there
have been divining rods, meditation sessions,
healing powers ascribed to circles,
interpretations and predictions by
clairvoyant people, government cover ups and
more peculiar psychological phenomena that
all have one thing in common: we do not know
how to deal with these strange symbols in the
crops. Amateurs have tried to make their own
circles and in some instances there was an
illusion of communication with the original
circle makers. Sometimes very near to a
recently manmade circle an alien one appeared
that seemed to have some relevance to the
former one. But by no means there has been
any formal and systematic attempt to take the
messages as serious invitations to interact
at the symbol level. Of course there are many
interpretations of the symbols. Many of the
circles are recognized as being alike symbols
of celtic crosses and other cultural and
spiritual/religious origins (see for a
systematic account: Crop
circles: The Crop
Circular.)
Also mathematical patterns like Mandelbrod
fractals have been recognized. Other internet
sites maintain things like: "The
intergalactic language is your language
(LANGUAGE OF LIGHT) and it speaks to you from
its place outside of you and, of course, its
place within you. The symbols are YOUR
LIBRARY and you can retrieve that information
which you are comfortable with and return the
rest." ( from a site that does not want to be
mentioned), and give intuitive
interpretations of the meanings of these
patterns. But still there is a general lack
in sincere thinking on how to communicate at
this level of symbol management. We seem to
be stuck in a psychology of ignorance and
denial, mystification and interpretation
without ever arriving at the conclusion that
we have to formulate an answer to an apparent
message from outside our human earthbound
realm. In fact humanity is embarrassed: some
intelligence is talking to us at a level of
symbol-management control familiar to us, but
we lack in cultural unity and capacity to say
anything meaningful back to them. That other
intelligence is trying to speak our language
of symbol management and we are only capable
of recognizing which of our known symbols
match with the ones drawn by them in the crop
fields. In fact we, apart from
mystifications, lack in any theory of what
and why that intelligence tries to
communicate to us and what and how we should
answer them. Certainly it has not been the
intent of the government hoaxers
D.
and D.
to stimulate us in formulating answers in
talking back to that unknown intelligence. In
fact they programmed to present humanity like
a chaotic amateuristic moron to which that
intelligence can only answer with a question
mark (which
actually seemed to have happened in
1990).
Psychologically speaking at the level of the
collective conscious we lack in selfknowledge
of first of all knowing our own symbols of
culture (there is no world-order agreement
but only ego-culture about it) and secondly
we have no idea of what as a collective
should be our answer to that other
intelligence. There have even been commercial
crop circles advertising products like cars
or electronics to which those alien
intelligences must have pulled their hairs if
they had any.
The
Circles.
In order to
take these arguments seriously we will first
have to study the actual patterns themselves.
First of all lets take a look at
amateur-human/hoaxed circles:
(taken
from the B.
T. Crop Circle Home
Page).
These
are the worst examples and show rather sloppy
irregular patterns of an evidently amateurish
nature. Within these circles one could trace
human actions as performances with rope and
plank and broken stems. None of the above
described anomalies were observed in these
circles. Nor do these patterns make much
sense symbolically, nor do they constitute
any mathematical regularity of importance. It
looks like children playing crop circle and
that is all.
The real
phenomenon looks like this:
(taken
from Crop
circles: The Crop
Circular)
These
patterns were observed in 1999 in England and
had some of the marks of the genuine thing
(but not quite all of them). Still these
circles were doubted as they made patterns
all too familiar to us. Could the military
have made these? The 6/12 divisions make the
interpreters uncertain: with these they
suffer from our own cultural self alienation
with the government cover ups and the idea
that aliens could make patterns that are so
much alike the international symbol of
ecology or the jewish six-pointed
star.
Another
category of genuine circles are the
mathematical Mandelbrot-like patterns:
(taken from
Crop
circles: The Crop
Circular)
Of these
circles there is no doubt: they are the real
ones. They are huge, complex and
mathematically interesting and show all the
anomalies as was scientifically confirmed to
be of the plasma-vortex hand of writing. In
this type of circles at times all kinds of
modern equipment fails to function while
animals refuse to enter them on their own
senses for natural deviations. Sometimes the
electromagnetic radiation was that strong
that several people got nauseous entering
them. These circles appeared over several
years since the early 80-ties. They are
formed perfectly as if programmed by a cop
circle computer with the crop laid down in
patterns that sometimes could only be
explained by having happened all at the same
time as if a huge vortexing circle-stamp had
imprinted the pattern in the
field.
More
genuine ones of different types have
appeared:
(taken from
Crop
circles: The Crop
Circular)
Sometimes
the circles are of an exceptional beauty
like:
(taken from
Crop
circles: The Crop
Circular)
All kinds
of mathematical divisions of the circle have
appeared: from 5, 6,7,8,9, and 10-divisions
up to complex designs that e.g. could be
recognized as a double helix of circles (a
DNA-like structure) and all kinds of
figurative representations like ant-symbols
or other swirls of an unknown type. These
have been interpreted as being of "the
Master" , "Buddha-energy" and alike . Also
patterns appeared that looked
like solar
systems
to which one has tried to interpret dates as
they looked like configurations of our own
planetary system with the planet earth
missing. From these we have mystical dates
24718 days apart with the next match upcoming
in 2033.
Analysis
What can we
rightly say about these symbols? First of all
they are mainly circles divided according a
mathematical rule. Sometimes the circles seem
to make figures of an organic nature. Never
do they seem to make up letters of an
alphabet. In conclusion one might say that
the intelligence behind it tries to tell us
something about the possible divisions of
circles relating to organic life. Why would
they do this? And what kind of reply do they
expect? What is so important about circles?
Planets are round, orbits are circular just
as timescales are round making cyclic time.
Philosophically time seems to be the dominant
theme, especially the division of cyclic time
that would make a culture of organic beings
living with that time. It has been suggested
that the circles offer us the abstract of
alien cultures, unknown civilizations. And
indeed what would it be else excluding the
possibility of a human origin? Of course the
alien intelligence communicates from its own
culture its own division of time and its own
organic foundation. The question is: why
would they make the effort to communicate
theirs to us. Is there something wrong with
our own concept of earthly time-management?
Did we neglect cyclic time too much? That may
be so. Are they trying to tell us we should
be clear about our own system collectively?
We surely will have to if we want to answer
them. Are they provoking this collective
agreement? They certainly did from this point
of view. Will they stop making circles as
soon as we gave them the answer they want?
That remains to be seen. Sure is that the
government and our own psychology apparently
does not like to be lectured to by an alien
intelligence on how to run our own planet.
Isn't that against the primary directive on
interplanetary communication?(see the S.F.
television series on The Enterprise). Our
psychology tells us to be in control and to
stay in control. The matter is that we, from
our own selfrespect of conscious control, owe
them an answer. We know after half a century
of research on UFO-phenomena that the other
intelligence doesn't neatly land on the
planet to get in touch with the United
Nations for an official representation of
their cultures on our planet. The
culture-shock is too big apparently to make
for something like that straight away. Maybe
they just want to make sure that we know what
our own abstract, control and selfrespect of
earth-culture is before anything like a
third-kind encounter can formally take place.
The movie Close Encounters of the Third Kind
of S.S.
certainly made us aware of the possibility.
But are we aware of the preconditions ? It
seems to be common sense that some kind of
equality and mutual respect is needed. If we
only could formulate in one crop-circle what
our own culture of timerespect defining our
own control of organic life would be... Then
there could be a possible next step in
exchange of information and culture with the
alien intelligence. Or then we could put end
to this challenge. That seems to be
reasonable.
The
Answer: our Key to our World
Order
Of course
we could answer with a hindu swastika, jewish
star, a christian cross or a yin/yang symbol
defining the concept of our vedic or
jewish/christian preference of our taoistic
balancing of the duality. But does it define
our time-management? Does it define our
organic life of managing this planet as a
collective? Is there any cultural agreement
about it? Certainly we can not take a symbol
of an already existing part of our world
culture however integer that symbol might be.
The part is not representative of the whole.
It could serve a subcultural confession, but
not a mondial one. Of course we can
communicate our celtic crosses or cabalistic
or mathematical theorems in the form of crop
circles exactly the way they do it. But that
doesn't define our world culture as a whole.
So what is our world culture actually doing
relating to time? Without this knowledge we
can never define and identify ourselves
making a signature to our own communications
with that other intelligence. The other
intelligence surely has its own
time-consciousness and time-control and in
their position we also would require the
knowledge of what the other side is doing in
this respect before we can continue on any
further process of a possible cultural
exchange or ending of it. The other
intelligence also needs (wants) to be sure
that this species of humanoids operates as
one coherent whole. I in their place wouldn't
trust us if we would have no collective
agreement on what exactly we are doing with
our consciousness of time. We fighting
ourselves about it would just as easily fight
with them about it.
In this
perspective the time-philosophy seems to be
of a central importance: it is the strategy
of order and peacekeeping that is needed to
make a stable and selfrespecting world
culture. To us it is like a religion. In our
traditions time-management has always been
linked to collective political, religious and
scientific options. As such the crop circles
have a religious/political/scientific meaning
in our own eyes. They, the other beings,
confess their belief showing us the
relativity of their divisions and organic
reality. And we should logically answer in
the same way talking that same symbolic
language. Therefore we must arrive at an
agreement about our own human reality. From
the above as well as from many other
religious, philosophical and political
options we have to depart from a threefold
division of time representing the
relationship of our earthly management of
time and organic life. Scientifically we have
the astronomical Zodiac to the celestial sky
which makes for a division of twelve signs.
Religiously we manage moon/sun and lunisolar
calendars making for another twelve division
in month's to the solar year. Politically we
make for a twelve hour scale on the clock
that is representative for the light day
constituting a pragmatically manipulated
concept of standard timing. These three
twelve divisions somehow interconnect adding
up to what we may call our present world
culture of time-management. It symbolically
would have to look something like this:
This is a
pattern complex enough to represent our own
complexity
of
time-consciousness
as well as complex enough to match with their
designs having a likewise mathematical
beauty. It is a bit too complex though for
picturing it in a crop-field like this:
It has to
be reduced to a basic circular format of
representation in order to be executed
without too much trouble. For that purpose it
would have to look like this picture:
or in the
field:
(this image
is thus computer-generated, not yet
performed)
This roset,
looking a bit like a church window, then
would be the key to the world order we could
hand our honorable alien intelligence guests
as a guarantee of our own peacekeeping
ability and awareness, continence and
righteousness of coherent formal action.
Interplanetary (intergalactic?) communication
this way provoked by them in effect would
strengthen our own identity and cultural
awareness. And that just might be the purpose
of their actions. Maybe they will withdraw
and respect the 'primary directive' of
interplanetary non-interference as soon as
they have achieved their goal of provoking
our mondial selfawareness. Maybe they will
take a next step of contacting us. That
remains to be seen. Anyhow denial of the crop
circle phenomenon will certainly not give us
the selfrespect and capacity, nor the
stability and control that is needed to
survive on this planet to begin with and to
look beyond our own planetary limits as a
consequence. Intercultural exchange
(interplanetary or intraplanetary) requires
this abstract of cultural identity. Whether
the 'aliens' exist at all, whether this is a
phenomenon from the collective unconscious or
whether there will ever be any progress
relating to unexplained 'alien' phenomena,
after all this challenge of arriving at a
collective symbol or key to our own world
order will do us nothing but good.
