Part 2 - Three Crop Formations
Near Uffington White Horse
The Third - A "Merkabah?"
© 2006 by Linda Moulton Howe
In the county of Oxfordshire,
England, formations were reported at Wayland's Smithy and Uffington
Castle on the same day of July 8, 2006. Then a month later on August 6,
2006, a third formation
was reported at Blowingstone Hill in Kingston Lisle, northeast of
Uffington Castle.
August 14, 2006 Kingston Lisle,
Oxfordshire, England - A few days before I left for England,
journalist Jaime Maussan in Mexico City called. Jaime is an TV and
magazine investigative reporter for his own production company and last
year went to the U. K. to fly over and videotape the 2005 Wayland's Smithy
"Mayan Calendar" and Woolstone "Mayan Clock." Jaime asked a Mexican
archaeologist to study the 2005 wheat patterns and reported that the
glyphs were counting down to 2012 and the end of the Grand Mayan
Calendar.
Another scientist in Australia studied the
2005 patterns at Wayland's Smithy and Woolstone and hypothesized that in
addition to a countdown to 2012, there was another crucial date upcoming
in mid-August 2007 - a time that might be linked to a catastrophic world
event. That scientist and Jaime Maussan both expected that between August
8 and 15, 2006, in the same geographic region around the Uffington White
Horse, that another major crop formation might occur which would reinforce
the number counts in the 2005 "Mayan Calendar" and Mayan Clock."

Wheat formation estimated to be 320
feet in diameter, reported August 9, 2005,
near the ancient burial site of Wayland's Smithy, Oxfordshire, England.

A year later on the Saturday evening of
August 5, 2006, Something did interact for the third time with the very
dry wheat around the Uffington White Horse on Blowingstone Hill in
Kingston Lisle, Oxfordshire, a little northeast of Wayland's Smithy and
directly east of Woolstone. Sunday morning, August 6, the alert went out
to crop investigators from Cropcircleconnector.com and The Silent Circle
Cafe that the large, new pattern had been discovered.
Ironically, that very morning I left
Wiltshire and Oxfordshire to drive to Cardiff University in Cardiff,
Wales, to visit the laboratory where the mysterious and replicating red
cells from Kerala, India, rain water were being studied. Outer space life
in test tubes, speculated Chandra Wickramasinghe, Ph.D., Astronomer and
Director of the Cardiff Centre for Astrobiology at Cardiff University. On
Tuesday afternoon, August 8, I learned about the Blowingstone Hill wheat
pattern from good friends, Gill and Robert Nicholas in Wiltshire. So, I
drove directly from Cardiff to Kingston Lisle. When I arrived, a
researcher had a long tape measure and reported that from one side of the
big ring around the 6-pointed star to the other side of the ring measured
330 feet.

6-pointed wheat pattern filled with
nearly a hundred diamond, or lozenge, shapes of standing crop
was reported on Sunday morning, August 6, 2006, on Blowingstone Hill in
Kingston Lisle, Oxfordshire County.

Cropcircleconnector.com was calling it a
"merkabah." So, I began to study the history of the "merkavah," or
"merkabah" in Jewish mysticism going back to the first century A. D. The
Encyclopedia Britannica states that the "Merkava, also spelled
Merkabah, means 'Chariot' in Hebrew, or the throne chariot of God, as
described by the prophet Ezekiel in Chapter 1 of the Bible."
Ezekiel envisioning the "Chariot of
the Lord" as "living creatures" in a "wheel within a wheel."

Ezekiel 1: 1-28 (1909 authorized King James Version)
1 - "Now it came to pass in the
thirtieth year, in the fourth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I
was among the captives by the river of Chebar (near Babylon in modern
Iraq), that the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God.
2 - "In the fifth day of the month,
which was the fifth year of king Jehoiachin's captivity,
3 - "The word of the Lord came expressly
unto Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans
by the river Chebar; and the hand of the Lord was there upon him.
4 - "And I looked, and, behold, a
whirlwind came out of the north, a great cloud, and a fire infolding
itself, and a brightness was about it, and out of the midst thereof as
the colour of amber, out of the midst of the fire.
5 - "Also out of the midst thereof came
the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance;
they had the likeness of a man.
6 - "And every one had four faces, and
every one had four wings.
7 - "And their feet were straight feet;
and the sole of their feet was like the sole of a calf's foot: and they
sparkled like the colour of burnished brass.
8 - "And they had the hands of a man
under their wings on their four sides; and they four had their faces and
their wings.
9 - "Their wings were joined one to
another; they turned not when they went; they went every one straight
forward.
10 - "As for the likeness of their
faces, they four had the face of a man, and the face of a lion, on the
right side: and they four had the face of an ox on the left side; they
four also had the face of an eagle.
11 - Thus were their faces: and their
wings were stretched upward; two wings of every one were joined one to
another, and two covered their bodies.
12 - And they went every one straight
forward: whither the spirit was to go, they went; and they turned not
when they went.
13 - As for the likeness of the living
creatures, their appearance was like burning coals of fire, and like the
appearance of lamps: it went up and down among the living creatures; and
the fire was bright, and out of the fire went forth lightning.
14 - And the living creatures ran and
returned as the appearance of a flash of lightning.
15 - Now as I beheld the living
creatures, behold one wheel upon the earth by the living creatures, with
his four faces.
16 - "The appearance of the wheels and
their work was like unto the colour of a beryl; and they four had one
likeness: and their appearance and their work was as it were a wheel in
the middle of a wheel.
17 - "When they went, they went upon
their four sides: and they turned not when they went.
18- "As for their rings, they were so
high that they were dreadful; and their rings were full of eyes round
about them four.
19 - And when the living creatures went,
the wheels went by them: and when the living creatures were lifted up
from the earth, the wheels were lifted up.
20 - "Whithersoever the spirit was to
go, they went, thither was their spirit to go; and the wheels were
lifted up over against them: for the spirit of the living creature was
in the wheels.
21 - "When those went, these went; and
when those stood, these stood; and when those were lifted up from the
earth, the wheels were lifted up over against them: for the spirit of
the living creature was in the wheels.
22 - "And the likeness of the firmament
upon the heads of the living creature was as the colour of the terrible
crystal, stretched forth over their heads above.
23 - "And under the firmament were their
wings straight, the one toward the other: every one had two, which
covered on this side, and every one had two, which covered on that side,
their bodies.
24 - "And when they went, I heard the
noise of their wings, like the noise of great waters, as the voice of
the Almighty, the voice of speech, as the noise of an host: when they
stood, they let down their wings.
25 - And there was a voice from the
firmament that was over their heads, when they stood, and had let down
their wings.
26 - And above the firmament that was
over their heads was the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of a
sapphire stone: and upon the likeness of the throne was the likeness as
the appearance of a man above upon it.
27 - "And I saw a the colour of amber,
as the appearance of fire around about with it, from the appearance of
his loins even upward, and from the appearance of his loins even
downward, I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and it had brightness
around about.
28 - "As the appearance of the bow that
is in the cloud in the day of rain, so was the appearance of the
brightness round about. This was the appearance of the likeness of the
glory of the Lord. And when I saw it, I fell upon my face, and I heard a
voice of one that spake."
The Encyclopedia Britannica also
says that the Ezekiel description "became an object of visionary
contemplation for early Jewish mystics. Merkava mysticism began to
flourish in Palestine during the 1st Century A.D., but from the 7th to the
11th centuries, its center was in Babylonia (modern day Iraq). ...In
Merkava mystical literature, the ascent of the visionary's soul is
described a a perilous journey through seven spheres or 'heavenly
dwellings,' manned by hostile angels. ... A successful visionary journey
depended, in part, on the use of certain magical formulas (called seals)
that were used to placate the angelic gatekeeper of each heavenly
dwelling. The use of an incorrect seal could result in severe injury or a
fiery death."
Over time, the Merkabah "chariot of God"
became associated with the overlapping triangles of the Seal of Soloman
depicted as 3-dimensional.
In the 1980s, researcher Drunvalo
Melchizedek in Questa, New Mexico, began to teach a meditation of
envisioning a 3-dimensional Seal of Soloman around the meditator to create
a protective "merkabah." Drunvalo writes that the Merkabah is a "divine
light vehicle allegedly used by ascended masters to connect with and reach
those in tune with the higher realms." He explains that "Mer" means Light;
"Ka" means Spirit; and "Bah" means Body. Further, he describes the
Merkabah meditation as "counter-rotating fields of light (wheels within
wheels), spirals of energy as in DNA, which transport spirit/body from one
dimension to another."

of the Merkabah meditation he teaches, in which the meditator
envisions a 3-dimensional Seal of Soloman around their body for protection
and link to the highest
spiritual source. Drawing © by Drunvalo Melchizedek,

6-pointed wheat pattern filled
with nearly a hundred diamond, or lozenge, shapes of standing crop was
reported on Sunday morning, August 6, 2006; 330 feet in diameter. Aerial

The August 6, 2006, Blowingstone Hill,
Oxfordshire County, wheat pattern does not resemble a classic
3-dimensional Seal of Soloman. But as a 6-pointed star within a ring,
segmented with many "realms," there is perhaps resonance with the original
Ezekiel account of the "chariot of the Lord," a Merkabah, traveling to the
highest throne in the cosmos, which oversees "many mansions" and celestial
realms.
Ironic footnote
from Jewish attorney after reading this Earthfiles report: "One of the
great tragedies of modern Israel is that today "merkava" also is the name
of Israel's main battle tank, now in its fourth version (Merkava IV). What
makes the merkava unique among the world's armies is that the central
design feature is survival of the men who make up the tank crew. No other
main battle tank is designed around that cardinal principle."
