Electromagnetic Energy & Crop Circles

Lazaris

We have been to recent workshops where you've talked about vortices of electromagnetic activity that are opening and growing stronger as evidenced by the natural disasters that people are experiencing. What can we as individuals do to best utilize this energy for positive purposes? And what will the increases of this energy look like?

All right. At the end of 1992, and as 1993 began there was a tremendous upsurge of this particular energy, surging electromagnetic energy, which results in all kinds of phenomena on your physical plane—particularly when that energy is not absorbed.

When the human consciousness, the human being does not absorb the energy, and reflects or rejects it in its way, it bounces off. It therefore gets absorbed and grounded in the earth itself, producing the tectonic activity that is so evident, which is an electromagnetic response. It also produces massive, erratic changes in weather patterns and anomalies such as crop circles, which are often a product of that very electromagnetic energy, used in a more positive way, certainly so.

We would suggest it creates also within the human spirit, within the human consciousness, emotional volatility. And that's why in your world today you see so much violence. Certainly violence always has been there, sadly, unfortunately, and it fluctuates. It has its own ebbing and flowing, its own waxing and waning. But now you're noticing that the violence is becoming more emotionally erratic, more senseless, if not all violence be senseless. But the violence now is more inhumane, more shameless. And a lot of it is a result of the electromagnetic energy.

What one can do with it in this regard is first of all to realize that this upsurge is there and is increasing in your world. In 1993 it began. In 1994, it's going to be much more intense. In 1995 and 1996 it will be even more so—spurting, expanding, explosive electromagnetic energy. And if it's not absorbed, it's going to produce expansive, explosive kinds of erratic patterns along these same lines.

It's important, to begin with, to understand that this energy is not here to punish. It's not here as some sort of wrath of God, as so many would want to see it. Rather, this electromagnetic energy—that can produce such tragedies as earthquakes, which can be so destructive—is meant to help expand and evolve the very mechanism within your head that you call the brain: the hologram that projects this reality around you, the body you occupy, and the reality that that body makes its way around in.

What is happening is that this electromagnetic energy is supposed to be absorbed by the human being to allow the brain to evolve. If it is, then it can and indeed does work very powerfully, very positively. But if it's not, then clearly so it can have its deleterious effects—just as when you put toast in a toaster, you're going to get warm toasty bread, but if you put that toaster in the bathtub, it could be disastrous. So it's all in the proper use, the proper use of that energy.

One way to use it is to start developing an imagination—not just imagination, which is just a series of imaginings—but the living imagination that involves desire and passion, that involves a certain kind of logic and reason, that involves the body and the compassion that one has. It is an imagination where you realize that what you are imagining is perhaps much more real than what you are living in the illusion. Therefore, work to expand that imagination.

Another way to work with it is through expanding creativity. People tend to think, somewhat automatically, that creativity refers to fine art or some performing art or some craft—and certainly those things can be creative. But we would suggest creativity is anything that you do that uplifts you or that inspires you or others to become more than they are. And when one looks at that definition of creativity, which is closer to what true creativity is about, a walk in the woods can be creative if afterwards you are more than you were before, if you are uplifted, if you are inspired. A conversation with a friend can be far more creative than any stroll through a museum, if indeed it uplifts you and lets you, and perhaps the friend as well, become more.

Therefore, people need to work not so much to develop a particular fine performing or craft art, but to do things that uplift them, that allow them to be more, that inspire them. And therefore, develop creativity and consciously work at it. As one does with imagination, do also with creativity. Indeed that will absorb that electromagnetic energy more effectively.

Similarly, work with intuition, with your intuitive sense, your instinctive sense. To use a shamanistic phrase: pay attention to the animal that is inside of you. Not the wild animal, not the destructive animal that shows so often in the world, but rather your Spirit Animal, your Spiritual Animal Nature—that part of you that is so in touch with instinct, with the earth, with the Elements.

From imagination, to creativity, to intuition, to being in touch with the Elements, to being in touch with the wind and the earth and the fire and the water that is about you, to commune with it, to communicate with it—to open your senses to those Elements. Even those who are trapped in the city have an imagination—they have a doorway in their mind that you can open and be in any countryside you want, on any mountaintop you desire, in any lush valley that you wish, by any stream that you could ever imagine.

Therefore, get in touch with nature. Even if you are trapped in the city you can do that in that window of the mind that you can open. And see that's the point: To open the window of the mind, through imagination, through creativity, through intuition, through a connection with the Elements. That absorbs the energy. That absorbs the energy.

Also, there is some more you can do—and in this we speak somewhat more esoterically—as a meditative practicality: When there are these surges of electromagnetic energy, funnel the energy. What we mean by that is that in a meditative state you imagine that there is a funnel like you would find in your kitchen, with its apex at the top of your head. It opens up, opens up, opens up very wide, very big, above your head so that you have this funnel there. And you imagine that this funnel now is gathering that electromagnetic energy.

In the time of storm, in the time of upheaval, in the time of earth anomalies in the world—whether they be physical violence of people against people or elements that seem to be attacking. In those times particularly—imagine this funnel on top of your head drawing in all the electromagnetic energy. Not the violence, not the tragedy, but all the electromagnetic energy. Allow this funnel to draw the energy into your brain, into your own head in a kind of grounding capacity: I will ground this energy so it doesn't have to express itself in these calamitous sorts of ways, in these tragic sorts of ways, but can be drawn into me and used for my imagination, my creativity, my intuition, for my connection and relationship with nature. And as I do that, I can have the capacity to mitigate some of the intensity of the electromagnetic energy surges. And people have done this, mitigating some of the intensity. Doing this even before there is a crisis can be sometimes even more effective.

Now where's it going to lead? What's it going to look like in the future?

If people will absorb this energy, what it's going to lead to is an incredible increase in one's capacity of sensing, one's capacity of seeing, of hearing, of smelling, of touching, of tasting—but also one's capacity to perceive, one's capacity not just to see what's out there, but to perceive what's out there. It's also going to lead to a greater sense not just of the physical being, but of the true being, the real self, the truer self, as we sometimes have come to call it, that you really are.

It will lead to being able to have something of a duality—and we hesitate in that sense because people can jump to the sense of schizophrenia. No, we're not talking about a schizophrenic experience, but a sense of duality where I am aware of myself—putting it in your language—as the human being that I am, functioning in this illusion, but at the same time, I am also aware of a bigger me, of a truer me, of a fuller and richer me that is functioning simultaneously. And I can flip-flop between two worlds. I can double-screen—I can function in both realities simultaneously.

And in that way, with the increases in electromagnetic energy, that's the kind of thing one can experience personally.

Globally, we would suggest that indeed the inspiration, the intuition, the creativity, and the connection with nature can lead to the solutions to these problems that are otherwise unsolvable. It can lead to the exponential kind of nonlinear experience of problem-solving that can lead to creating a new floor rather than just trying to clean up the old one. It can create that ability to enter into the Imaginal Realm and to a new world, rather than just trying to reorder the Old World. You see, it's not about creating a New World Order. It's about creating a New World.

And in that sensing, that's what this electromagnetic energy ultimately is here for. As people can understand that, absorb it, be the sponge for it, then it doesn't have to bounce off people and explode in these cataclysmic ways in the world around you.

You just touched on this slightly a moment ago when you were speaking about electromagnetic activity forming crop circles. Could you talk more about crop circles?

Yes, the crop circles? Again, the natural human tendency is going to be to say, OK, I want sort of the definitive, clear-cut, logical ordering, structured explanation of what they're about.

And indeed, if they were about something so orderly, so structured indeed we would certainly be more than willing to say so. But the crop circles have a variety of explanations or expressions.

In other words, here is an avenue of energy, and a lot of different people are getting on that pay phone and using it to communicate.

And we would suggest here that some of the energy is erupting out of the Unconscious Mind of humanity, of all of humanity as in the Jungian concept of the Collective Unconscious Mind. In the Collective Unconscious as well as in the personal unconscious there is such an amount of energy—and there is such an attempt of the Unconscious to erupt and to explode and to communicate into the Conscious World. In that regard, a chain is as strong as its weakest link; and in the British Isles mainly (but happening elsewhere more increasingly) the link has been weak enough (thank goodness, for it's the positive sense of weakness here) that eruption could come through.

So some of those crop circles could well be seen as expressions from the Unconscious Mind. Maybe the message is that there's something more than you, that there's something bigger than you—not something better necessarily—but bigger out there that has intelligence, that has consciousness, that can create. And in that particular regard, that is often the distinction between the human kingdom and that of the lesser kingdoms: it is the creative that distinguishes you from that which you consider to be less than.

And we would suggest here perhaps it is nothing more than an abstract message of that nature, at times. Sometimes it is a clearer, more direct communication, certainly so, but an eruption out of the Unconscious that manifests quite demonstrably in a physical world.

Beyond that we would suggest here that it is also a communication of the Soul. And Soul speaks in pictures, in imagination. The Soul doesn't have words as you have in your language, or any language of humanness and the earth. The Soul speaks in pictures, it speaks in imagination, and it speaks in picture-language. The old languages—like that of the Egyptians with their hieroglyphs, like those of the ancient primitives that have been so summarily dismissed—were spoken not with words but with pictures. A picture is worth a thousand of them, right?

But nonetheless, often these crop circles are messages from the Soul teaching you a new language. One might say it this way: The Goddess is returning, and before She returns, you need to learn Her language; and that is the language of the Soul, that is the language of imagination, the language of pictures.

And so, in that sensing, precipitous to Her return here come these diagrams, these hieroglyphs, these pictures. But it's more than just looking at them. Aren't they beautiful? Aren't they symmetrical? Aren't they very nice? Yes, but indeed to go and stand in one of them is an unbelievably phenomenal experience. Even to look at the photographs, not just to see them with your eyes, but to see with your ears, to see them with the tips of your fingers, to see them with your nose, to see them with the whole of the body is an incredible experience that opens and reveals so very much.

There are thousands, many thousands of words in those pictures, and if you will quiet yourself and get into the silence that we began talking of previously, you can experience a meaning, and a depth of meaning, that is just incredible, a very full language preparing you, preparing you. It is much like if you go to a foreign country, you often are advised to learn some key phrases: Hello, how are you? Where's the restaurant? How do you get to the hotel?

So, you are given the key—they look like keys many times—phrases that open the door to that language of the Soul, that language of the spirit, that language of the Goddess. That's a whole major communication that is happening there.

Beyond that, what is also happening is extraterrestrial influence, absolutely so. And in that regard, there are many different kinds of extraterrestrials. They're not all this, not all that. It would be unfair to say, I met a human being once, and therefore that's how all human beings are. So indeed the extraterrestrial energies and beings are also quite varied as well.

And some of them are using crop circles as a means of communication, and means of communication to say, We're here, and we're friendly. We're here and we're reasonable, and we're intelligent. And we're here, trying to wake up, trying to help you awaken to who you really are—not to who we are, in that sensing. We already know that. But to who you are.

Often—and so important to know—it's not about finding solution, it's about savoring the mystery. What do the crop circles mean? What they mean, in that sensing, is it's time for you to ponder, it's time for you to savor the mystery, not solve it. It's time for you to be patient, to look more closely, to listen more intently. It's time for you to awaken, to realize that there is more out there that indeed even knows more—if you can conceive of it—than the human being does.

Also, it is important to understand that the crop circles are another avenue for the vortices of energy that are out there—the Vortex of the Archetypes, the Vortex of the Sirius Connection (that constellation Sirius that is in your heavens, which is the vortex of the Goddess herself), and we would suggest also the Vortex of the Future. These portals, these openings, also use that phenomenon called crop circles to express themselves: We're opening. They're not beings, in the sense that talk, but there is a message to you that the vortices are beginning to open, to flutter, to fluctuate in ways that they have not done before. And this is creating these anomalies.

And also certain of it is that electromagnetic energy that is surging.

So when one looks at crop circles, they are: The Collective Unconscious, the communication of the Soul, a preparation for the return of the Goddess, a communication from extraterrestrials, a communication that the vortices are erupting and emerging, and it is electromagnetic energy.

So it's about six different things that are all coming through that little bitty slice of reality expressing itself as crop circles.

So it's not neatly ordered in the logical. Well, which is it? Well, it's all of them, and varying degrees of some of them, from time to time.

But the biggest message, in that particular regard, is to realize that there is awakening coming, there is an opening coming, there is massive change coming—not the destructive doom and gloom change that so many are so quick and ready to hop on the bandwagon for, but indeed a most glorious and most beautiful and most incredible change of entry into a world—the Imaginal Realm as we call it—where indeed imagination exists on its own and creativity exists on its own. An Imaginal World which holds a positive future of dreams, which holds what we call the Virgin Future of magick and miracles. And we would suggest these are the keys—these are the doorways. Not that one has to go there, but one has to be open to the idea—which then opens something, changes something, shifts something in your own consciousness, in your own belief structure, that opens the window of the mind for more to come in. And that's what they're about.

And indeed with that we will close, and to you we do offer.

With love and peace. Lazaris
