The Significance Of 12 
 
One of the images I use in my lectures comes from a small unknown church near Wayland Smithy, in Compton Beauchamp. This church has an amazing picture inside. It is a picture of Jesus with piercing eyes. However, it is impossible to determine if his eyes are open or closed. I use this image to articulate the following statement from Jesus, “Open your eyes and you will see”. Yesterday on August 12, 2009,  my wife, Heather, and I decided to visit this little quaint English church again. After leaving the church, Heather, and I decided to go to Uffington and look around at the fields from on top of the fort. To my surprise, my eyes took me to a field that had an old formation, of exactly two months to the day, in it. As I was viewing the June 12, 2009 Wayland Smithy older formation, I felt the nudge to scan the rest of the field. Doing so, I discovered a new crop circle. It was actually impossible to see the crop circle from where I was standing, so I knew that I was ‘seeing’ outside of ordinary perception another crop circle. Somehow, I was able to put a pattern together and ‘see’ a new circle. Can it be that this was the message? A message to open my eyes and ‘see’ outside of ordinary reality. Allowing myself to shift my perception to a higher state of awareness, and perceive the world through a different lens.
 
As Heather and I were rushing over to the new formation, we encountered two of the three The Crop Circle Connector Researchers who had already been in the formation, taken pole shots, and had also already taken aerials. So, I was not the first to discover it, but I was fortunate to go inside the beautiful Cathedral circle. I use this name because Heather calls churches and Cathedrals, crop churches, and crop circles, Cathedral circles. We have travelled through Europe together researching the great Gothic Cathedrals and 11^th-13^th century churches. We have seen that the stained glass windows of the Gothic cathedrals, churches in Wiltshire, and crop circles have both known information and esoteric information encoded in them. I have seen that every church, Cathedral, and crop circle has encoded within it the lost knowledge of the great Mystery Schools. Having said that, why is 12 so significant around the world?
 
Before I answer that, I must share my amusement about two things. First, that I gave a lecture on August 2^nd in Devizes discussing the relationship between Gothic Cathedral windows and the crop circles. Second, I gave another lecture on august 6^th at the Compton Basset town hall again discussing the connection between the Gothic Cathedrals and the crop circles. If you multiply 6 times 2, you get 12. A coincidence that the new Cathedral circle was formed on 12^th August? You decide.
 
Back to the significance of 12. Here are a few examples of the power of 12: 12 holy mountains in the Peruvian Shamanic path, 12 zodiacal signs, 12 Apostles, 12 months of the year ( using the Gregorian calendar system), and perhaps the most important, 12 cranial nerves in the homo sapien-sapien design. In numerology 12 can be reduced to three (1+2). In the Christian tradition three is another holy number. It is the trinity. So, regardless if you view this Cathedral circle through the trinity or the power of 12, you cannot miss it’s very important message- Open your eyes and you will see!
