Introduction

One of the most important crop circle formations appeared at Yatesbury Field around 30 May 2007. Two things immediately stand out --

1. The spiral has three and a half turns.
2. There is a clear "11:11" indicated by the arrangement of the 23 circles.

Note that the middle circle is placed on a rectangular marker, apparently an area of bare dirt with random groups of plants. There are 11 groups of circles before the marker, and 11 groups after the marker.

The Kundalini Serpent Connection

The Kundalini serpent of the chakra system is coiled into three and a half turns. It is said to be subtle cosmic energy that lies dormant in a coiled form in the muladhara chakra at the base of the spine.

This is an example from China, dated to 500-250 BC

 

Here is another example, a Tantric type from 18th century India:

 

When the Kunalini is awakened, the energy travels upward through the chakras, in a purification process, reaching the crown chakra at the top of the head. The soul then merges into the supreme Self. This is apparent in the death masks of the ancient Egyptian Pharaohs, such as King Tut, where serpents protrude from the head.

A number of crop circle formations have appeared that suggest the Kundalini serpent, such as the one at Thruxton in 1992:

 

The "snake" formation that appeared at Alton Barnes, East Field, Wiltshire, around 12 June 1999, may also have a Kundalini connection:

Jonah Ohayv wrote an article about the formation, suggesting that it may represent the Kundalini. He later included a report that I sent to him:

[Excerpt]

Joe Mason, whose several articles on the relations between various chakras and crop-circles are found on his website http://www.greatdreams.com/crpcirc.htm, contributes this excerpt from Moira Timms' book, "Beyond Prophecies and Predictions" (p.  256):

"The name Quetzalcoatl is derived from the quetzal bird of Guatemala and Mexico. The quetzal had golden-green and scarlet plumage, and was considered the most beautiful of all birds. "Quetzal" also means precious.  'Coatl' is serpent.  In the Maya language, 'Kukulcan' means approximately the same thing.  According to Hunbatz Men, 'Ku' is sacred, God.  'Kul' is coccyx, the base of the spine, where latent spiritual energy resides.  'Can' means serpent.

'Kukulcan' therefore is synonymous with 'kundalini' -- which is what the Kukulcan/Quetzalcoatl archetype is all about, of course.  To be iconographically correct, however, the god Quetzalcoatl is not himself the feathered serpent, but the one who emerges from the serpent, just as the spirit emerges from the body through the top of the head, and the Morning Star emerges from the horizon."

There may be a connection to Serpent Mound in Ohio.

A crop circle formation appeared near the entrance to Serpent Mound around 24 August 2003:

Jeffery Wilson, owner of the above web site, and head of ICCRA, the Independent Crop Circle Researchers’ Association [International], has led the research at Serpent Mound, and other locations in the USA. He has led conferences near Serpent Mound most years since 2003.

Starting in 1990, a number of crop circle formations appeared that indicate the 11:11 by rectangular boxes. One example is the formation that appeared at Crawley Downs, Hampshire around 13 July 1990:

Decades ago, a lady called Solara had a visionary experiences about an "11:11 Doorway" opening in the Belt of Orion. She later wrote books on the subject. She predicted that people would starting seeing "11:11" very often, such as on digital clocks. The prediction clearly became manifest in time.

http://www.v-j-enterprises.com/gate1111.html
 

http://www.nvisible.com/1111/1111Doorway.html

Solara also wrote of the "11:11 Birdstar."

"Once we know that we are One, our Unified Presence takes the form of a vast white bird. This large white bird is composed of myriad small white birds flying in formation as One. It could be termed the Merkabah or the Birdstar. It is our vehicle for mass ascension. (This Birdstar is not a spaceship. It is the expression of our Unified Presence!)"

Near the beginning of August 2003, a crop formation appeared that looked like a group of birds in flight. 

The image certainly fit Solara's description of the "11:11 Birdstar."

A friend pointed out that this "Swallows" formation looked like a Menorah when turned upside down. The Menorah, of course, also appeared as a crop circle formation in 1999. Clearly, the Menorah is related to the Tree of Life, and both are related to the chakra system.

The 11:11 experiences are sometimes related to the symbolism of two suns:
 

http://www.greatdreams.com/twosuns.htm

At the end of the film, "2010," the sequel to "2001: Space Odyssey," the earth has two suns. My feeling is that this refers to the coming duality balance that happens with the "return of the feminine."

It may also be significant that the Mayan calendar ends on the Winter Solstice, December 21, 2012, at exactly 11:11 AM Universal Time.

Some say this is the "end of time," or even "Doomsday." Others think it is just the end of a time cycle, and that another will begin.  My years of study leads me to agree that this is the end of a grand cycle and the start of a new one, which will be very positive in the long run. A number of crop circle formations have appeared that seem to refer to the images of the Mayans and Aztecs.

There are many reported experiences with the 11:11 that are amazing, far beyond accidental meaningless coincidence. Jeffery Wilson informed me in our telephone conversation on 21 April 2007, of his experience. He was driving in the area of Clyman Wisconsin, to see a woman about her experiences of 11:11, when he came to several roadways that had his initials and last name. Suddenly, he saw a crop circle in a nearby field. It was one of the 11:11 types.

http://www.burlingtonnews.net/wisconsincropcircle.html

I find it coincidental in a meaningful way, that I was interviewed on a radio station on 1 June 2007, on the subject of "11:11" -- the day after the spiral formation was reported at Yatesbury Field, and shortly before I knew about it.

The Three and a Half Midpoint Symbolism

According to mythical scholars, such as Joseph Campbell, there is a universal elementary idea about the chakra system and its midpoint. This is often in the form of three and a half out of seven, expressed in many forms. On example is from the ancient Egyptian Book of the Dead:
 

The image is part of the "Pollen Path" articles, linked below. This is an excerpt:

"Note the seven spherical nodules along the pole from near the bottom on up to the crossbeam.  They are thought to correspond to the seven chakras of the human body.  There is another nodule above the beam, which may represent a sphere of timeless consciousness beyond the earth plane.

Note also that the composite animal's snout cuts across the pole between the third and forth nodules. The platform of the Judgment seat is also at that level. This seems to indicate the critical point between the third chakra and the fourth, the heart chakra.

The baboon on the Judgment seat is one form of the god Thoth, counterpart of the Greek Hermes (Mercury to the Romans), who guides the soul after death.  Baboons bark with the rising of the sun.

If the heart weighs more than the feather, the dead soul is devoured by the "Swallower," the composite beast, a mixture of crocodile, hippopotamus, and lion. If the heart is found to be lighter than the feather, the soul is conducted by Thoth to Osiris's throne by the Waters of Eternal Life.

Joseph Campbell wrote that in terms of the kundalini, the message could hardly be clearer .  .  .  if the aims of the deceased in life were no higher than those of Chakra three (the animal instincts), the Swallower claims the soul.

The implication is that if one has not reached the heart chakra level of love and compassion during a lifetime, the person must be reborn, that is, reincarnated back on earth, in order to try again.  Otherwise, the soul is free to move on to higher planes of existence."

Another example of the midpoint is the Navaho Sand Painting, called, the Pollen Path:
 

[End of excerpt]

The Hopi creation myth also fits with the three and a half symbolism:
 

[Excerpt]

Three chambers are shown underground, connected by vertical tunnels. From the top chamber, another tunnel leads straight up to the surface of the ground. Insects are shown in the bottom chamber, animals in the middle chamber, and humans in the upper chamber. The chambers and tunnels, along with leaves at the top, resemble a large plant. A large spider with a cross on its back is depicted at several places. Near the upper chamber, various birds, a tree, and a twelve-petal sunflower are depicted inside rectangles.

Seven human figures are shown climbing in the tunnel from the third chamber to the surface.  A small group of humans are shown standing on the surface, with rays of light from the sun striking them.  A giant rooster is also standing on the surface.

The text next to the depiction tells the Hopi creation story.  The Creator placed insects in the earth and told them to figure out the meaning of life.  After a time, the insects still had not found the meaning, so Spider Grandmother was sent to help.  She helped them move up to the next chamber, where they became animals.  Again, they could not find the meaning of life, so Spider Grandmother came again, and helped them to travel up to the third chamber, where they became human beings. After more time passed by, and the humans had not figured out the meaning of life, Spider Grandmother came again, this time assisted by birds. The people climbed up to the surface, and then Spider Grandmother taught them how to weave.
[End of excerpt]

The three lower chambers would symbolically correspond to the first three chakras. The climb toward the surface would indicate the three and a half point, and the surface would correspond to the fourth, heart chakra.

A spider web crop circle formation appeared next to Avebury stone circle in 1994. It had ten sections, perhaps indicating the third chakra:
 

In July 2004, a crop circle formation appeared at Pewsey White Horse near Pewsey, Wiltshire. It was a cross type design. Another formation appeared about two days later, located a short distance to the side of the cross type design. It is quite clear that the second formation represents the chakra system.

Note that the cross type crop formation on the right is aligned between the third and fourth chakras of the large chakra system formation on the left. Note the similarity to the Egyptian graphic, above, from the Book of the Dead.

I felt that this was a strong confirmation of ideas that came my way over a decade prior.
 

The Revelation 11:11 Connection

My personal experience with 11:11 started in 1990. By early 1993, the meaning seemed clear -- humanity has been on a time cycle path that corresponds to the chakra levels.  We are near the three and a half midpoint, and a leap to the fourth level, the heart chakra.

Although I am not a believer in any religious system, the key point was reading Revelation 11:11 --

"But after the three and a half days a breath of life from God entered them, and they stood up on their feet, and great fear fell on those who saw them."

This is speaking about the two olive trees, also called the two lampstands and two witnesses. They are related to the two anointed mentioned in Zechariah 3 and 4, the High Priest and governor (King). These two olive trees stand on each side of the golden lampstand with a bowl on top with seven lamps. This sounds similar to the Menorah.

The High Priest and King, I believe, carries duality symbolism. Traditionally, the two are sometimes combined in a single person, as Priest/King, or Fisher King. I believe the idea is similar to the shaman and chief of various tribes of the world. The Priest/shaman is related to the right brain, the inside self, intuition, and the dream realm. The King/chief is related to the left brain, outside daytime self, associated with rational, analytical thinking.

When I originally read the verses of Revelation 11, I had just read the chakra material in Joseph Campbell's book, "Inner Reaches of Outer Space." Therefore, the "three and a half days" seemed quite coincidental in a meaningful way. I also knew some of the information about Solara's 11:11 Doorway.

In addition, there were strange reports about two trees. One of the events occurred in Oxfordshire in 1991. On the grounds of a private school, during a cricket match, two trees began to shake for no apparent reason. A half circle had formed next to the two trees. A full circle of about 30 feet appeared some distance away.

All these connections came to mind when I first read Revelation 11:11. This, of course, does not "prove" a theory, but it certainly provided a working theory, that I intended to pursue. I began to look for a similar message from other sources as time went on, especially concerning dreams and crop circle formations.

I soon found other forms of 3 1/2 in the Bible:

1.  Rev.  11:9 and 11:11 - 3 and 1/2 days.

2.  Rev. 11:2 and 13:5 -- 42 months, 3 and 1/2 years.

3.  Rev. 11:3 and 12:6 - 1260 days -- 3 and 1/2 revolutions on a 360 degree circle, or the Zodiac, or 3 and 1/2 years on the Jewish calendar, which had 30-day months.

4. Daniel 12:7 and Rev. 12:14 - "a time, two times, and half a time" -- 1 + 2 + 1/2 = 3 and 1/2.

5. James 5:17 and Luke 4:25 -- telling the story in 1 Kings about Elijah's prayer that it not rain, and it did not rain for 3 years six months. Then he prayed again, this time for rain, and Heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth its fruit.

6. Daniel 9:27 -- "And he shall make a strong covenant with many for one week; and for half of the week he shall cause sacrifice and offering to cease; and upon the wing of abominations shall come one who makes desolate, until the decreed end is poured out on the desolator." -- half of a week is 3 1/2 days.

In late 1996, after getting online, I sent a long, five-part article in the form of an e-mail to a group I had joined. The article included the basic ideas above. This later was turned into an article, which is still on-line:

Revelation 11:11

Numerical Hints of the Yatesbury Field Formation

The 23 groups of circles in the Yatesbury Field spiral can be shown in this order, with the central group indicated as *2* --
 

1 2 3 1 5 1 4 2 1 1 7 *2* 2 1 1 3 9 2 1 1 3 3 1

As mentioned previously, there are 11 groups on either side of the central group of 2. This reminded me again of Revelation 11:11, because the verse is quite near the center of the Book of Revelation, which has 22 chapters.

The great scholar, H.P. Blavatsky, wrote that the writer of Revelation, Saint John the Divine, was a kabbalist. For example, the Hebrew alphabet has 22 letters, and the Tree of Life has 22 paths, which are associated with the 22 cards of the major arcana of the Tarot deck.

Also interesting, 11 / 3.5 = 3.142857, the same, of course, as 22 / 7. This is "near pi" or "Pyramid Pi," used by the ancients in calculations, such as the circle indicating the sublunar distance around the New Jerusalem.

The total of 23 groups of circles may also be significant. That number is said to be an "enigma," because it shows up in so many ways, often in very strange ways. The number 23 is thought by some to be related to other Biblical time cycle numbers through the common number 84, in this way:

three and a half days = 84 hours
70 years = 840 months
23 years = 8,400 days

I am placing links below that include more information about the subjects of this article.

Many people are now trying to find more meaning in the groups of circles of the Yatesbury Field Spiral. I hope that this article helps in finding more answers.
