The whole Pewsey Whitehorse formation, August 4, 2007, exudes a
feeling of completeness? It is done!?, and then goes on to give
us
hints, through the symbolic arrangement of basic shapes, circle,
triangle, rectangle and crescent, and the use of meaningful
numbers, 9
and 3 especially, about what is it that is? done/being done?. It
is a
picture of the great work as it progresses on Earth, in our
lives and
in relationship to the Universe. Another significant point in
the
understanding of this formation is the actual meaning of the
place name.
The Whitehorse is the steed upon which Kalki, the tenth and
final
avatar in the Hindu tradition, arrives to bring in the New
Creation
which annihilates the Darkness of existence as it has been
known.
Taking the Whitehorse location for part of the meaning, we have
the
idea of the avatar of the New Creation arriving by white horse,
on the
earth of our present, old creation. A change is in the wings.

Steed
Starting from the Centre of the formation ( circle/dot,
crescent/disc,
and triangle within the circle), I will attempt to communicate
what is
just coming to my consciousness as I have been studying this
formation
and as I have just come upon the work of Carl Johan Calleman who
has
proposed an interpretation of the Mayan Calendar. From there, I
will
discuss the inner 9-pointed star, the organic rectangles and the
three
small triangles as well as the nine outer triangles and their
connection to the Nineworlds of the Mayan Calendar and the whole
dynamic of the unfolding of evolution for the last16.4 billion
years.
The circle is so universal, primal and all-encompassing that
it is
easy to see it represents everything, totality. In Hindu
tradition it
stands for the Round of Existence in the phenomenal world. With
flames (perhaps the triangles around the outside could be
considered
flames) the circle becomes Prakriti that which evolves,
produces,
brings forth. An arrangement of concentric circles is both
solar
and lunar; it represents different states of degrees in manifest
existence. The circle with a dot at its centre depicts a
complete
cycle and cyclic perfection. It is associated with the number
10, as
is Kalki, the tenth avatar. The circle symbol in this formation
deals
with creation as it is manifested to us now and also with the
idea of creation in a state of change
The triangle, another primary shape, is a symbol for the Great
Mother.
More recently, the triangle pointed upwards is the masculine
energy
symbol and the downward pointing one is the feminine energy
symbol.
The central triangle of the Pewsey formation is not really
defined in
a polar way. What is very important regarding this triangle is
that it
is a triangle within a circle, meaning 'the plane of forms
within the
circle of eternity'. 'The area within this the triangle is the
common hearth of them all and is named' the Plain of Truth?, in
which
the Reason, the forms and patterns of all things that have been,
and
that shall be, are stored up not to be disturbed; and Eternity
dwells
round them, from whence time, like a stream from a fountain,
flows
down upon the worlds? (Plutarch in Cooper 180). Here we have
the influence of time and the idea of past, present and future
creation
Another interpretation of the triangle on the circle (close
enough to
the triangle/circle in the formation) comes in the Mayan Oracle:
Return Path to the Stars where this symbol is named ?'Resolution
of
Duality'. It is described:
?Duality is simply a perception. Polarities are thought to be
opposites only because of the way we perceive them. In the
collective
trance, you have probably been taught to understand polarities
from
the position of separation and duality. Duality is the
transformational playing field, and it is maintained only by the
belief systems held in mass consciousness. As you personally
integrate
your polarities and transmute your limiting beliefs, your
reality is
transformed. As your reality is transformed, collective reality
also
shifts, revealing a greater reality of inseparable unity?
(Spilsbury
153).
Here we have an allusion to the idea of transformation brought
about
by a change in perception.
The crescent is, par excellence, the symbol of the Great Mother,
the
Feminine Principle.
In this formation we see that the crescent holds within its
arms, a
disk that surrounds the nine-pointed star. The solar disk with
the
lunar crescent depicts unity, the two-in-one, or the sacred
marriage.
In Hindu tradition, which seems prominent along with the Mayan
tradition in this formation, the crescent represents the
newborn,
quick and eager growth.
Again we have another hint regarding growth, change and the idea
of
the duality united in One.
The Nine-pointed star can allude to both the Gayatri Yantra and
a
Western symbol, the Star of the Muses. 'The Gayatri in any form
is a
vehicle for awakening, for grace and selflessness, as well as
service
to this world'.Gayatri is an ancient vigil surrounding the planet. [It] is one
of
the keynotes for the transformation of consciousness and is an
identical vibration to the vital force in nature. The
resonance of
the Gayatri Mantra is the resonance of the One.......the finest
undetectable vibration; primordial universal sound. Uni-Verse
means
One-Song, One-Verse, resonating unto itself. All phenomena are
appearing in the One. We can call it God, we can call it
consciousness, we can call it (unconditional) Love ......
?(xs4all)
Once again transformation, consciousness and unity of all appear
as
key elements for understanding the message of this yantra.
As the Star of the Muses, the nine-pointed inner star represents
inspiration granted by divine nymphs whose original form was the
three
aspects of the Goddess Mnesmosyne or Memory.
Once again, consciousness and growth of consciousness, through
inspiration, is a key point in this symbol.
The nine 'organic rectangles', as variations of the square,
represent
the earth and order as well as the balance of opposites. In
this
formation, we see a lighter outline made by two 'L' shaped
elements
that surrounds a dark inner rectangle, whose influence seems to
'leak'
to the outside. 'Where one square sits inside another, the outer
square symbolizes awareness of the physical world, the inner
square
the unconscious' (Bruce-Mitford 104). In the case of Pewsey
formation, the inner unconscious is beginning to erupt into the
outer
limits, breaking through into consciousness. Whether this is
valid or
not as an interpretation, it does fit in to some extent with the
whole
idea of the Nine Underworlds of the Mayan Calendar ( see
www.calleman.com/content/pyramid_of_consciousness.htm ). These
Underworlds are stages of evolution from the beginning of the
life of
eukaryotic cells (approx. 16.4 billion years ago) to the present
stages and beyond to October 2011. At that point, the last,
Universal
Underworld will have begun. It will last only 260 days and then
herald the transformation of creation as we know it into a New
Creation beginning in 2012. Each Underworld continues to evolve
as
the new ones begin, so that all dimensions of creation continue
growing.
The Pewsey Whitehorse formation, with its three small triangular
arrows pointing from alignment with the points on the inner
triangle,
outwards along the divisions between the Underworld rectangles
and
again in alignment with the outer triangles that in turn point
outward
to the beyond, seems to indicate a potential for infinite growth
in
all aspects of our existence. The point of evolution and time
itself
is to further consciousness. The whole Mayan Calendar,
according to
Calleman is to inform us about this process and to assist us in
the
transformation. The crop circle phenomenon is also a code
assisting
us in taking in all the amazing changes our planet and ourselves
are
undergoing, especially since January 1999 when our Solar System
entered into alignment with the Centre of our Milky Way Galaxy.
The elegance and succinct manner with which so much crucial
information is conveyed in the Pewsey Whitehorse formation is
mind-boggling!! The number three, indicated so many times in the
triangles and as the square root of nine, is a number of action
and
dynamic, movement. The number nine, signifying completeness and
the
representation of the Nine Underworlds which are to proceed the
New
Creation and the identity of Kalki as the tenth avatar and the
circle
association with the number ten are wonderful depictions of a
natural,
anticipated and progressive movement, They collude to present
the
resolution of our present Earthly existence and its challenges
into a
new paradigm. When one understands that the Mayan Calendar
indicates
an evolution not only of species on Earth, but also of
consciousness
in time, and that the symbols of the Gayatri Mantra and the Star
reinforce this idea, we cannot deny this message from the crop
circle
artists: Wake Up!!There's a New World Coming!!
