Love is in the Land

“From The Old Ones:-

The home is in the heart (hearth, Earth) of the community and there must be built the fires of desires for nurturance. Come amongst us and know this and let all come to pass.

It is significant that at this time, no new way has been found to resolve crisis.

Think on this.

Turn the key. Behave differently. Do the unexpected. Crisis continues from known established patterns which have become embedded.”

From the text of “The Bud of Compassion: The Story of Love and Hope” by Ilyhana Kate Kennedy.

The Earth is Alive!

The Earth is alive! There is a power in the land.

In other pages on this site and through related websites and written materials, we have so far considered that the Earth has electromagnetic energetic fields, a geometrical ‘Light/Sound’ body existing at a higher frequency, and is impregnated with a Dreaming (Australian Aboriginal cultural concept) or a set of archetypal energetic patterns.

The electromagnetic energetic fields are both around and through the Earth existing as lines of force. The lines through the Earth have been referred to as ley lines.

The geometrical Light/Sound body in its relationship to the solid body of Earth has particular points where a number of lines in the geometry intersect. We describe these points on the solid body of Earth as Sacred Sites.

These sites are more accessible to the source of energy that powers the archetypal energetic patterns. And so they will have a particular energetic quality that is reflected in the form of the landscape.

If the blueprint language of Creation is Sacred Geometry, might we not have some clue as to the nature and origin of the phenomena of naturally emergent Crop Circles?

Remember how music will set up a vibrating geometric pattern in loose material like iron filings? Is it not possible that these forms (the geometric patterns which appear spontaneously) are the Sound of the Creator singing a new verse of the Earthsong, through the Sacred Sites?

While I was writing this page, I had a telephone call from a Chinese man, who shared with me, something of his personal philosophy about Nature. I found it a fascinating way of looking at Nature, and would like to share it with you.

He said something like this,” The trees have a spiritual energy. An old tree has a very old spirit, maybe back to the dinosaurs. The tree does not move.

Creatures or humans that move have energy. They interact. They fight, they bully to get what they want. They also co-operate and do wonderful things together. The tree can do none of this. It can only BE.”

Thinking about this sharpened my awareness of just how vulnerable Nature is, and how responsible we must be to both take care of Nature and ensure that we do no harm to Nature.

The Earth is a Sexy Place!

The Origin of Everything must have a way of projecting itself into being and a way of receiving the form back into itself, an active and a receptive force, a yang and a yin, expansion and contraction. Sexual genitals mirror these through their form.

The phallus moves outward, and the vagina recedes (receives) inward. The re-unification through the sexual act is a movement back to the Love of the One.

Mountains, lakes and rivers mirror these forms.

Love is in the Earth.

On the Sunshine Coast in South East Queensland (Australia), there are two volcanic peaks Mt Ninderry and Mt Coolum adjacent to each other with the Maroochy River running close to both of them. Mt Ninderry is a classic example of linear masculine form in Nature, and phallic in appearance.

The traditional Dreamtime story of the area personifies Mt Ninderry as an older man, with a young wife called Maroochy who falls in love with a young warrior called Coolum. To tell the story very simply, Maroochy runs away with Coolum, which is an act against tribal law. Ninderry becomes angry and pursues them, cutting off Coolum’s head and flinging it into the sea (Mudjimba Island). Maroochy flees to the hills (Blackall Ranges) and cries forever after, her tears becoming the Maroochy River.

So to extend the interpretation of the story in relation to the energetic qualities of the land, we might understand Mt Coolum to have an archetypal masculine warrior energy, Mt Ninderry to have the energy of “The Old King”, or a masculinity that expresses as rulership maintaining the status quo of current order. Maroochy is a youthful feminine quality, probably equating with virginal, maiden or princess archetypes.

Earth Energies.

My Personal Story of Opening to Awareness of the Power of the Land.

In May of 1995, my life was overtaken by the involuntary process of spontaneous spiritual emergence or ‘kundalini rising’. I experienced prolonged states of ecstasy and a major change in conscious awareness. Deep changes have since occurred in myself and in my life. (For information about this process, do a general internet search by typing in ‘spiritual emergence’ or ‘kundalini’).

One of those changes involved the opening of my sensory perception to include a whole range of what we might call inner perceptors. I learned that for every sensory perceptor that we have for the outer tangible world as in sight, hearing, touch, smell and taste, there is an inner perceptor that is able to form responses to the intangible world. We call these clairvoyance (sight), clairaudience (hearing), clairsentience (touch & feeling) etc.

All of these opened for me like a window flying open to a totally different world!

I discovered within the clairsentience of inner touch and feeling, that I perceived ‘something in the Earth’ of which I had never before been consciously aware.

I was sensing lines!

And there were accompanying inner visuals of archetypal figures when I visited places in Nature that attracted me. And ‘voices’ in dialogue with me.

As startling as the experience was, I knew that I was sane. I could observe my experiences and discuss them from any point of view. I also discovered that although this experience is rare in western culture, it is well documented as being commonplace in indigenous cultures that lived close to the Earth.

A wonderful example is Malidoma Somé’s book called “Of Water and the Spirit”. It tells the story of his initiation within the Dagara Tribe in Africa after a childhood in a white Jesuit institution in Africa. You’ll find this inspiring work through www.schoolofwisdom.com/index.html

Mapping the Earth Energies.

All my life I’ve been a Nature loving, Earth-bonded person, with an ability to relate easily to beauty and a way of processing information through seeing patterns in whatever I’m looking at, whether it be the solid world or the vague world of human relationships. I could always see patterns.

I’ve also been an extremely curious person, hungry for knowledge.

When I began to map the lines that I was ‘reading’ through my body, I realised that they formed geometric patterns! I discovered that there were endless coincidences in association with the lines, especially when I looked at where people lived and what was happening in their lives.

As I moved from one place to another in Eastern Australia and continued mapping, a picture began to emerge. I was connecting now with other people who also had an opening of the ability to ‘read’ the intangible world. And I was finding the mathematics of Sacred Geometry. I had a perfect match! The Sacred Geometry of the land was what I was ‘reading’ through my body sensing.

I also had a perfect match with the Dreamtime stories of the Australian Aborigines, when the readings came in archetypal visuals or through a feeling sense of a place.

I’ve conducted seminars and workshops in many places in Eastern Australia now and have learned that it is relatively easy to assist people to open this sensory awareness channel inside themselves. Mostly it is a matter of being open to the possibility that it does exist.

When the person does make the inner connection, the comment is usually that there is a knowing that this ability has always been there at some deep level, but not in conscious awareness; or that there have been experiences that they describe as odd in relation to places, and that they now know that the inner sensory system was trying to communicate something about that place to the conscious mind.

Synchronicity with the Natural Environment.

Australian Aborigines relate to Songlines (Sound lines?) in the Earth. From my readings about indigenous cultures living close to the Earth and my association with indigenous peoples in Australia, I know that their traditional life was one of living in harmony with a conscious awareness of both worlds, the outer solid tangible world, and the inner intangible world of archetypes and sacred geometry (and still is for some). In doing so, they lived in synchronicity with their environment, and survival was a two-way relationship with Nature.

Westernised culture, by contrast, exerts dominance over the environment, manipulating it to meet the needs of its members. It sees the Earth and Nature as inanimate objects.

Alternative sub-cultures of westernised societies are currently structuring small communities along the social and environmental principles of regenerative sustainability that allowed many indigenous cultures to survive for millennia, until the advent of invasion by European cultures based on industry and technology.

The Heavenly Father and Earthly Mother of The Gospel of The Essenes.

The Essenes were a breakaway religious sect living a communal lifestyle in the desert in the Middle East before and around the time of the life of Jesus. There is a growing body of written work that supports the possibility that Jesus may have spent time in the Essene community.

The Gospel of the Essenes, translated from The Dead Sea Scrolls, refers to The Heavenly Father and The Earthly Mother. We might look at these and recognise them as prime patterns or archetypes, a primal differentiation in Creation, not ‘God’, not the God, but the primal patterns or archetypes through which God, or the Divine Mind, or the Dreaming Consciousness, or Great Spirit, or Infinite Possibility, or Biame, or Creator brings the Universe into being.

The Gospel of the Essenes also speaks of the Angels of the Heavenly Father and the Angels of the Earthly Mother. We might look at these as archetypes ‘descending’ from the primal patterns of Heavenly Father (Masculine) and Earthly Mother (Feminine).

The Angels of the Heavenly Father are named as the Angels of Eternal Life, Work, Peace, Power, Love, and Wisdom. The Angels of The Earthly Mother are the Angels of Earth, Life, Joy, Sun, Water and Air.

Indigenous peoples all over the Earth, as well as the ancestors of European cultures understood Nature and the elements to be animated by ‘spirits’.

We might simply understand a ‘spiritual’ archetype as an aspect of the Dreaming Consciousness, or the Divine Mind, or God, inhabiting a physical form.

With this possibility in mind, might we not move across to the physics of the manifest world and theorise that there just may be a mathematics to the physical world that gives rise to masculine form and masculine characteristics, and a mathematics that gives rise to feminine form and feminine characteristics? We are not referring here to men and women, but to underlying patterns of energy that give rise to and animate all form, in the entire natural world.

Drunvalo Melchisadek points out the mathematical difference in the positioning of the navel in males and females in relation to the Golden Mean ratio. For one, it is slightly above, and for the other slightly below, mirroring the movement above and below the Golden Mean of the Fibonacci Series of numbers.

East Meets West…Yin and Yang; Alkaline and Acid.

To jump across to another example of this differentiation of energetic quality as a consistent pattern throughout Nature, we might look to our science and the measuring of pH levels of acidity and alkalinity, in water, in soil, and in the human body. Acidity and alkalinity is measured on a scale from 0 (strongly acid) to 14 (strongly alkaline).

acid alkaline

On the pH scale, 7 represents a neutral reading.

Most plants thrive in neutral to slightly acid soil. Azaleas and camellias love a really acid soil with a pH down to 4. Lavender likes an alkaline soil.

Chinese philosophy of yin and yang relates the yang (active) energy of the Universe to acidity and the yin (receptive) to alkalinity.

Acidity, Alkalinity and Human Fertility.

Here’s a little personal story that I heard recently from a woman who had just fallen pregnant after years of infertility. The woman visited a Chinese Doctor who looked at her diet. He determined that it was acid producing and that her system was simply too yang for a woman to be receptive to conception. She altered her diet, eating more fruit and vegetables, and fell pregnant.

Acidity, Alkalinity and Soil Fertility.

What we do know about soil is that the further the pH reading moves away from the neutral, the more that minerals become locked up and inaccessible to the plant, and so the soil loses fertility.

Indian Ayurvedic medicine defines food plants in terms of whether they have acid or alkaline responses in the body.

If we align the energetic quality of plants with the soil pH, we are likely to have a healthier garden or crop. Unless the plant is energetically in harmony with the pH level of the soil, it simply can’t grow with good health in that soil.

For instance, barley is more yin, or alkaline forming than wheat, which inclines towards acid formation in the body, and is regarded as yang.

Barley yields more heavily in alkaline soils than wheat.

My personal experience of researching farming on Australian soils presented me with this very example of barley cropping better than wheat on alkaline soils, in country that I had ‘read’ as yin in archetypal energetic quality. The land, by the way, was full of emergent springs.

Farming that is in conscious harmony with the energetic archetypal qualities of the land is likely to produce healthier stronger plants, with less need for pesticides and fertilisers.

The Wisdom of our Ancestors.

Perhaps if we are not so quick to discard the experiences and beliefs of our own farming and gardening ancestors, and if we are willing to consider that indigenous peoples may have had a very sophisticated understanding of Earth energies, rather than being a superstitious and ‘primitive’ people, then we may be able to reinterpret their understandings in terms of our mathematics and sciences, to the benefit of all.
