I thought crop circle connector members may could be interested in my EM News Blog comment about the Toot Balden crop circle formation. 

I find this crop circle particularly interesting and I have named it the E-7 Lattice Crop Formation. In "Tuning the Diamonds", I provide details that the hidden dimensions of space-time are structured and theoretical physicists have come up with specific lattices that correspond with the platonic solids. The E-7 corresponds with the octahedron and the cube, the hexagon depicted here is really a 2-dimensional representation of the octahedron. I believe that we are being told that space-time is evolving to this new E-7 lattice. There have been other crop circles that specifically point out cubes and diamonds and I believe we are being informed that we need to understand the impact of the change of aesthetic density.

Here are 2 ground shots and 2 pole shots of the hexagonal formation now 2 weeks old and rain affected.  It is particularly difficult to locate on the ground as the long view from Garsington churchyard has all but vanished. 

The side of the hexagon measures 70ft long which is identical to the August 2006 formation about half a mile to the west of this one, but which had a spiral layout inside.

What!!!  On Earth??? By Michelle Jennings

The Toot Balden crop circle, reported July 7, 2007 conveys to us another fascinating message in such a succinct, yet multi-faceted way.   My main area of knowledge is symbolism and traditional mythology, so hopefully it will complement the mathematical and scientific information that has been coming in regarding the crop circles this year.

 
Hexagram is contained by, and to some extent, defines the hexagon. Symbolically, the hexagram stands for the yin/yang, the union of male and female, and the sacred marriage.  It represents primordial energy and the Source of all Creation, the Great Androgyne.  In Jungian terms, it represents the union of opposites, i.e.of the personal, temporal world of the ego with the non-personal timeless world of the non-ego. Ultimately, this union is the fulfilment and goal of all religions. (Penguin Dictionary of Symbols) At Uxmal, Yucatan, it is a symbol of the sun shedding its rays on earth the fertilization of earth.  The hexagon itself symbolizes a dying, or surrender to a greater force in preparation for new life, something like what happens to bees over the winter in the hexagonal cells of the honeycomb in order to re-emerge in springtime.
 
The cube, which in this formation is represented by the interior hexagon with the y lines to indicate the 3D cube, is a symbol of earth and its four corners corresponding to the sunrise, sunset, midday, midnight and to the solstices and the equinoxes.  It also brings forth the concept of solidification, stability, (therefore truth and the base for the throne of the goddess, e.g. Cybele, Rhea). In Chinese tradition it is representative of the earth deity. In Mayan tradition, the Tree of Life grows from the Centre of a Cube. It symbolizes the material universe and the New Jerusalem.
 
Previous crop circles that feature the hexagon, as the main characteristic of the lay, with some indication of the cube, are: the Juggler's Lane formation of August 2005; Avebury Henge July 2005; Avebury Trusloe June 2005; Deacon Hill, June 2003. In an article I wrote about the Juggler's Lane formation, I noted that the whole design was suggestive of the iron crystal formation of the Earth's core (Ideas and Associations Regarding Juggler's Lane, near Cherhill, Wiltshire, August 21, 2005).  The Avebury Henge formation was considered by some to be referring to the water crystal and Dr. Emoto's theory (The Love and Gratitude Formation).                                                  

 
The point I am getting at here, is that these particular types of formations are referring directly to Earth and the material dimension: earth, water, fire, air. These four elements are associated with the first four chakras, with the fourth, the Anahata (meaning: a sound not made by striking, i.e. Om) chakra the heart chakra being represented by a twelve-petalled pink lotus whose centre is a smoky coloured hexagram.  This chakra is the centre where material and spiritual energies meet, join, and interact.  It is the balance, and therefore a stabilizing force, as is suggested by the cube form in the centre of the Toot Balden crop circle.

                                                       

 
                                                            Anahata
 
The rays in this formation seem to be coming from the cube centre. Light seems to be coming from the inside in this formation.  Is there some new way in which our own earth and matter will manifest? Will the long-perpetuated association of matter with darkness and evil become a perception of the past?  And will we be shown another side of matter that has until these times had to be hidden?  Some 2006 references to quantum changes and space-time perception seem to support these ideas.
 
It seems that the Toot Balden crop circle supports a message that is bringing us to a new understanding of ourselves, of our material world and of the Earth itself in relation to an ever-evolving universe.
