Renewal.
With a first look at
this formation it strikes me that the figure, both in design as in the
way it is made, misses a certain perfection. It leads me to thoughts of
similarity with a wall-painting that I made about half a year ago. I did
that in the Belgium village named “Doel” near Anvers. About this piece
of wall-art I will reflect further down this article.
It is quite simple to
agree that the figure, that seems to be based on the flower of life,
contains six parts (or moon-crescents). The curiosity here is that these
six crescents are marked by three different features. The first I call
“initiation”, the second “limitation” and the third “completion”. These
characteristics are chosen on the base of associating, more or less
approximately, meaning that they can eventually be replaced by other
idea’s.
Every feature appears
two times which makes three times two similar parts. Within a six-folded
structure like this, it would eye perfectly harmonic when the parts
would be divided in a more orderly sequence. Unfortunately, this is not
the case. A design like this could therefore easily be brand-marked as
“less harmonic”.
Concerning the way
that the formation is fabricated, it strikes me that the curves are not
smooth enough. In particular when we look at the two completed parts
(planes of flattened crop) we notice a clear difference in the sizes of
what I would call the covering. It is as if the makers had a struggle
with finding the exact angles for drawing the curves. To do that in a
proper way one would in fact need an assisting circle. With such an
assisting circle it can be measured out where the midpoints for the six
secondary circles should be placed. (I presume it stands that the
secondary circles refer to the six curves.) It speaks for itself that on
the drawing-table such an assisting circle can be erased easily. Doing
that in a canola-field becomes a total different story!
For what’s left it can
be observed that, like mentioned before, the curves are not very smooth,
but that could be due to the positions of the individual plants in
combination with how they fell.
It is the absence of
perfection, both in the design as in the way it is worked out, that made
me write this article. Had I not been confronted with both of these
faults while doing the wall-painting at Doel, it would probably have
been a different case. The formation therefore wakes me up as it were,
to publish the story behind this wall-painting and of course also to
digress on the creative aspect of the formation itself.
The clumsy impression
that proceeds from of the formation, including the disappointing lay
(broken stalks and board-marks all over the place), strongly indicates
that it is manmade. Nevertheless, strong indications are not the same as
proof. The nuance is important in the field of crop circle research
where it often happens that nothing is what it seems. Would it be
confirmed to be manmade indeed, it still doesn’t bother me to go in
depth, analysing the work of art on peculiarities and/or meanings. It
should be clear for the average crop circle-fan that the phenomenon has
to an important degree to do with creative interaction with invisible
intelligence. Therefore it is justified to question what the factor
“inspiration” implies, also when a formation is doubtlessly made by
human beings. This counts the more when we consider that paranormal
events often occur in relation to manmade formations as well.
To get it straight; I
don’t say this Silbury Hill formation is a manmade formation. I don’t
say it is an “authentic” one eighter. I simply don’t make any of such
conclusions, but try to simply picture all the ins and outs of the
formation.

When I compare the
formation with the wall-painting I notice a reasonable similarity. Does
that automatically imply that the formation holds a conscious reference
to the wall-painting? No, but I certainly find the idea intriguing.
Let me expose about
the wall-painting.
At the crop
circle-season of 2010 I visited on my way to England the harbour-town of
Doel. The highly surreal environment baffled me and partly on the basis
of growing discontent about my life in the North of Holland, as by
mysterious whisper, I decided at that moment to try to start a new life
here. I presume it takes the spirit of a pioneer to be willing to live
here. The village of Doel is truly like a wild west ghost-town. Since
many years, citizens of the town are bought out of their houses, if not,
being manipulated, strangled and intimidated by the local government
together with big harbour companies. Nearly all the citizens have left
their homes now, not being able to withstand the hard long lasting
pressure. The reason for all this was to expand the harbour. A huge
container-company would settle there.
It was by the
resistance of the locals, as well as by the collapse of economy that the
plans didn’t fully work out as thought. Although the uppermost of the
houses are left or demolished, there is still a handful of habitants
that have not left. As stated, the village looks like a wild west
ghost-town. Everywhere there are houses in decay. The spooky atmosphere
is compensated by very many colourful and often humoristic
wall-paintings. To make the description complete, there is also that
huge nuclear power-station straight at the edge of the village, that day
in day out produces big clouds besides energy. Mind also that there are
giant high tension towers inside the town that carry the
distribution-cables away from the nuclear plant.
All together the
absurdity of the village strongly attracts me because it seems model for
the end of our western capitalistic society. What I’m projecting on it
is the possibility of an alternative community developing on the remains
of the catastrophe. As hopeless it might seem, so necessary does it
appear to me to start something like that.
Driven by my idealism,
it appealed friendly to me if I would go for an artistic contribution
that would lift up the view of the place. Because I have become somewhat
possessed by the crop circle phenomenon I wanted to paint a nice crop
circle-design on an empty wall. Thinking it, became saying it, became
doing it. After going through my archive I decided to do a design based
on the flower of life. It should not become too complicated. For some
reason I couldn’t make a clear choice between all the existing crop
circle-designs based on the flower of life. So, I made my own design
that could convincingly stand for an original, let’s say, authentic crop
circle-design...
The original
design-sketch.
The design stands for
“renewal”. It is the vortex effect in combination with the flower of
life elements that gives a feel of movement in connection with harmony.
I choose for it to create the painting in openness, not able to imagine
that anyone would object to it. The house on which I would paint was of
course an empty one and in the state of decay, clearly an object
nominated for demolishing. What is the problem? The second day, I was
just finishing another phase, I was stopped by the police. The cops told
me they had been instructed by the owner of the house to stop me from
spoiling his possession. It was considered to be an act of vandalism.
Personally I would say ruining a whole town looks a little more like
vandalism to me, but as it goes, I got my fine while all the painting
materials including a ladder that I had borrowed of a friend were
confiscated.
This, in my humble
opinion, is nothing else but a serious act of stealing. The servants of
the law always manage to give us the right example!
Different stages of
completion. At the very right, the moment short after the police had
stopped me.
What is concerned the
objections of the owner, it is in fact the harbour-company that bought
all houses in the town, his only intention is to destroy all of these
houses in time. How cynical it than becomes to get punished as a
motivated idealist for what they interpretate as “vandalism”. The truth
is that I was working on a serious piece of art in which beauty and
harmony were given a central place. It is a free gift to every visitor
in the village. But of course the autocratic and destructive rulers
would have their way as usual. The shame of disrupting the whole
community is totally out of proportion, while I don’t think that those
who are responsible for all this damage have already had a single fine
yet...
There was no way for
me to leave the artwork unfinished as it was. That simply didn’t feel
good. Although it still is not finished for one hundred percent, at
least it looks much better now. What I find amusing is that Moby Dick
has fallen in love with my creation!
What I would like to
touch upon with describing this incident, are the under laying
structures of power and the processes that can lead to this kind of
absurdities. The human proportions seem more and more lost in this
“end-time”. While far out most people sit heavily upon the moral corrupt
activities of these super-companies, it turns out again and again, that
the immoral power is strong enough to get away with large-scale human
and environmental destruction.
More and more people
become aware that we need to get rid of the system that has run totally
out of control. It’s monstrous destructive aspects have come so clearly
to the surface, now. People are anxious for renewal in the direction of
justice, real freedom, environmental care, health, peace and more of
these things. The big problem is that the right actions are often not
undertaken. In case there are suitable actions undertaken, it happens
easily that these are getting frustrated for short time or selfish
motives. How critical must things become? And in the meantime there’s so
much suffering going on...
One of the main
difficulties is that human beings, collectively or not, have made
themselves dependent of the system. While the system should work for
them, it now has become the case that they work for the system. People
hand their power over to the system and than complain against the power
of the system. This inconsequential behaviour or even lifestyle, can
only lead to chain-reactions of gloomy events. It is necessary that each
individual for him or herself needs to draw up the balance-sheet and
break loose of the institutionalised cancer. Such an act of
self-conquest is certainly possible and will by definition find support
from the spirit-world! Furthermore, it does not only confine to break
loose of the system, it also becomes needed that whenever possible,
misbehaviour gets challenged.
Thus, I had disputed
the moral injustice to the police-officers that condemned my act of
unselfishness. It is not that I make myself many illusions about any
eventual compunction at these officers, but some contra-weight needs to
be. Besides there is something like the subconscious for which
communications like these are of greater value than commonly imagined.
By the way, it is not my intension to nail people that have committed
themselves to the system. On the contrary, I am only trying to get them
away from the dangers that the destructive machinery has in store for
them as well as for others.
Doel, as seen from the
dike.
At this moment, the
question arises inside of me, is, if there has been a paranormal
steering that leaded to the Silbury Hill formation as it is? The
similarity between the wall-painting and the formation reminds me to
certain paranormal experiments. In these experiments one person creates
a drawing in a separate room from another person that is supposed to
have a paranormal talent. After the drawing is made, it gets fold up,
than put in an envelope. After that, the paranormal candidate has to
proof his ability by producing a drawing that matches the drawing inside
the closed envelope.
Could it be, that
there has been a conscious steering behind the making of the formation
as it is, so that it would trigger me to reflect on renewal of society?
I don’t exclude the possibility that this article will be updated with a
second part. After all, not all the imagery-aspects of the formation
have been fully exposed.
