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.
