The White Sheet Hill Formation and the Days of Creation
Around 25 June 2010, a beautiful design appeared as a crop circle formation at White Sheet Hill, near the town of Mere in Wiltshire --
Like other graphics on this page, it is a variation on the Seed of Life design, which is related to the six days of creation --
Note the many small circles and rings in groups of four in the crop formation, like this set --
Each set seems to represent one day as two six-hour periods of daytime and two of nighttime, for a total of 24 hours. The total hours in six days amounts to 6 x 24 = 144. Harmonics of the number 144 appear several times in Revelation. It is apparent that the seventh day (of rest) would be represented by the central portion, for a total of 168 hours for the seven days.
Seed of Life type designs, such as the White Sheet Hill crop formation, above, could also be related to seven of the spheres in the central portion of the Tree of Life, as illustrated here in red --
The uppermost red sphere in the diagram, labeled "Daat," is a special "hidden" area not always shown, or shown with a dashed line ring. Another spelling is "Daath" One interpretation is that it represents a combination of spheres (sephiroth) 2 and 3 -- creative thought combining with deduction, analysis and development. This compares to the seed of an idea (sphere 2) being implanted in the womb (sphere 3), developing into the Child (Daat).
Sphere 6 (Tiphareth) of the Tree can likewise be called the Child of spheres 4 (Chesed) and 5 (Geburah) above it. This is an excerpt from our 1997 article about the Tree of Life crop circle formation --
Seven of the spheres of the Tree of Life are associated with Biblical righteous figures (tzadikim). They are also associated with the Sun, Moon, and planets. Here's the list --
Sphere 4 = Abraham - Jupiter
Sphere 5 = Isaac - Mars
Sphere 6 = Jacob - Sun
Sphere 7 = Moses - Venus
Sphere 8 = Aaron - Mercury
Sphere 9 = Joseph - Moon
Sphere 10 = David - Earth
Sphere 5 = Isaac - Mars
Sphere 6 = Jacob - Sun
Sphere 7 = Moses - Venus
Sphere 8 = Aaron - Mercury
Sphere 9 = Joseph - Moon
Sphere 10 = David - Earth
I think it is significant that Jacob is associated with sphere 6, because he was the father of twelve sons, who became the Twelve Tribes of Israel. Sphere 6 is also associated with the heart chakra, which is traditionally symbolized by a twelve-petal lotus flower with a Star of David inside. Jesus is also associated with sphere 6. He was sometimes called "The Sun of God."
Ball in Cup Formations & Simon Peter
The idea of planting the seed was suggested by a crop formation that appeared at Wester Flisk Farm, near Balmerino, Fife, Scotland, around 5 August 2006 --
Below three circles is a glyph that I call a "ball in cup" type. There have been many others, such as the lower glyph of the image on the right -- a crop formation that appeared at Meensen, Niedersachsen (Lower Saxony), Germany, around 11 August 2006. The various spheres may represent spheres of the Tree of Life, and/or chakras. The Fife ball in cup is bracketed by a pair of thin crescents, which seem to symbolize the womb. It is apparent that a sperm is entering the womb. This could represent the analogy stated above about the Child of the union of masculine and feminine spheres.
Other clues suggest that the ball in cup represents sphere 6 of the Tree of Life, which associates with the Sun and the heart chakra. The Meensen formation, above, right, has such hints. It has a star shape and a flower shape, which is typical of chakra symbols. The inner circle and ring form a glyphthat the ancients interpreted as representing the Sun and the Deity.
The star has 17 points and the flower has 13 petals. There is no traditional chakra symbol like that, as far as I know, but there are many theories about various chakras.
The 17 points are very suggestive, because that number is associated with the Biblical number 153, which we discussed briefly, above. Adding the numbers 1 through 17 total 153. To review -- the number153 is a triangular number, and related to the story of the 153 Fish in the Net in John 21. The number 153 is said to be the Resurrection Number, via the Trinity functionof summing the cubes. One-third of all numbers are resurrected. The same story was told before the advent of Christianity, one version of which is associated withApollo's Omphalos Stone at Delphi (DELPHI 619 + OMPHALOS 911 = 1530). The geometry related to the story includes the Seed of Life.
153 Fish in the Net
This is one of the associated graphics, relating to the story of the 153 Fish in John 21 --
Note the upper portion, illustrating Peter and his Fisher's Coat. It is quite like the ball in cup portion of the crop formation that appeared in Fife, Scotland, illustrated above.
The 153 Days of Our Lady of Fatima
A very significant series of events took place in Portugal in 1917 that carried the 153 message in terms of the number of days involved. The most notable apparitions of the Virgin Mary took place, starting on May 13, and ending on October 13, a total of 153 days. These occurred on the 13th day of six consecutive months (with one forced exception). The final incredible event -- the Miracle of the Sun -- was witnessed by some 70,000 people.
As with the Meensen crop formation, above, the numbers 17 and 13 were apparent. It was the 17th year of the century, and the events happened on the 13th of each month. Remember too, that the numbers 1 through 17 add to 153.
The focus on the sun in the final event dovetails with the thread in this article concerning sphere 6 of the Tree of Life, as it is symbolically associated with the Sun within the Tree of Life. As the apparent sun danced about in the sky, the colors of the rainbow flashed from it. Recall that the Mega Glyph crop formation at Milk Hill, above, a sun symbol, encoded the seven colors of the spectrum (and chakras) in English alphanumerics through the 409 circles.
The rainbow is also an important symbol in the Bible. It is associated with sphere 9, Yesod, in the Tree of Life. Yesod associates with the Biblical Joseph, who wore the Coat of Many Colors. See the important additional information about Yesod, below.
Some witnesses reported that flower petals fell from the sky during one of the events. That fits with the Flower of Life and Seed of Life symbolism displayed profusely for many years as crop circle formations.
Recent investigations into the 1917 events at Fatima by two scholars in Portugal, indicate that the strange phenomena compare quite well with modern UFO reports. A leading theory among crop circle researchers is that the Crop Circle Makers are extra terrestrials. I tend to agree with the idea that the Circle Makers are from other dimensions that may be perceived as extra terrestrials or in multiple other ways. I suspect that we people of Earth are involved on an unconscious level.
Aperture Type Crop Circle Formations
Three other key crop circle formations seem to be related to the Seed of Life. The diagram on the left, below, is of a crop formation that appeared at Berg En Dal, Gelderland, Netherlands, around 1 July 2006 --
Below the cup is a six-fold aperture type glyph. It is similar to the North Sun symbol of the 1991 Barbury Castle crop formation. The diagram in the center, above, is of another aperture type crop formation that appeared at Devils Arrows, near Boroughbridge, North Yorkshire, around 3 August 2003. The image on the right, above, is of a formation that appeared around 1 June 2003 at Halewick Lane, Sompting, Sussex.
There have been perhaps ten or twelve aperture type crop formations. The aperture type formations are of special interest to me, because I dreamed of a similar aperture in 1990. I described it as being like the aperture of a camera. I knew it was related to crop circles.
I reported the aperture dream to several snail mail friends back in 1992. To my amazement, two of them reported similar dreams. Jan dreamed of a lotus flower with ancient letters written on the petals. It suddenly opened like the aperture of a camera. Katherine dreamed of looking down her spine and seeing a rose, which suddenly opened like the aperture of a camera.
After reading about the symbolism of the Seven Sisters of the Pleiades, around 1992, I had a dream of an aperture opening and the Seventh Ray coming in on the Seventh Day of creation. It changed every particle in Creation. This became related to a number of other dreams and coincidences. I reported that story online in 1998 --
The Opening of the Heart Chakra
The meaning later became clear to me. As humanity makes its leap to the heart chakra, the Seed of Life flower will open, transforming into a twelve fold flower or design, with a six fold figure in the center, such as a Star of David. This is similar to the traditional symbol of the heart chakra. The change, therefore, seems to indicate the opening of the heart chakra. Katherine's dream of seeing the flower aperture opening while looking down her spine is strong evidence that this interpretation is on the mark. The aperture type crop circle formations, I believe, were showing this opening in progress.
There have been many crop formations with twelve-fold geometry on the outside and six-fold geometry on the inside, such as --
Saint Peter Crop Circle Formations
Significantly, two crop formations have appeared in places named after Saint Peter --
Around 10 July 2005, a Seed of Life type crop formation appeared at Chalfont St Peter, near Rickmansworth, Oxfordshire. Around 3 June 2010, a twelve-fold formation appeared at Codford St Peter, near Warminster, Wiltshire. The two formations fit well with the ideas expressed above, relating to Saint Peter and the Seed of Life, as symbolic of the central sphere of the Tree of Life opening like an aperture to form a twelve-fold design. In this case, it is similar to a flower blossoming.
Part of the meaning of this came to me like puzzle pieces. The relationship of St Peter to Jesus, I believe, is similar to the relationship between various Biblical brothers or twins, such as Esau and Jacob, or Perez and Zerah -- the twin sons of Judahand Tamar (Genesis 38). The second born son inherits the Kingdom. The idea is that the Creator conceives of the ideal Son, who must first undergo a karmic stage of development -- symbolically given to the first born. This is the cycle of dealing with the lower three chakras, the animal instincts. Near the end of the developing stage, the first born son is symbolically an "old man." And then, the second Son is symbolically born as the New Child, who will then be the King of the Kingdom -- the name of the tenth sphere of the Tree of Life. During the developmental stage, one is an unconscious co-creator of the reality. Upon reaching the heart chakra, the person becomes a conscious co-creator, symbolized by Lion King. True free will is achieved at that point.
In the case of Saint Peter, the first born stage has lasted some two thousand years, carried on by a succession of Popes. The present Pope, Benedict XVI, is the 265th. That number is symbolically coincidental in a meaningful way, because in the original story of the 153 Fish in the Net, the dimension of the Net was 153 x 265, the division of which demonstrates a close approximation of the square root of three (265 / 153 = 1.732). Joseph Ratzinger became Pope Benedict XVI on 19 April 2005, some 82 days prior to the appearance of the Chalfont St Peter crop formation. Some say that he will be the last Pope, based mostly on the prophesies of St Malachy and Nostradamus. See --
I do not believe that Benedict XVI will be the last Pope, nor that the Church will cease to exist. The Popes and the Church are likely to carry on into the future for some time. However, I see this as a symbolic truth, representing an advancement in the spiritual development of mankind. As I see it, people will be guided by their own internal authority, rather than accept blindly the authority of the Church.
The Bridegroom - Zer Anpin
Another idea came about the ball in cup symbolism. It may be related to Zer Anpin, the Bridegroom, within the Tree of Life -- here shown color coded within the Flower of Life pattern --
Six spheres of the Tree of Life are associated with the Bridegroom, Zer Anpin. Five of those spheres (4, 5, 7, 8, 9) are depicted in red, above. The sixth is sphere 6 (Tipharet), depicted in green. Note how the arrangement is like a green ball in a red cup.
According to the great scholar and interpreter, Thomas Jude Germinario, Zer Anpin is the Son, the Supernal Man of the Kabbalah, the Messiah of the Jews, and the Christ of the Gentiles. His Bride, and the Queen of His Kingdom, is Malkut, sphere 10, at the bottom of the Tree of Life. This relates to the Shechinah, God’s feminine Presence in the material World. The Shechinah is associated with the Holy Spirit. Her symbols include cloud and fire. For example, in Exodus 13:21, She appears as a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night, to lead the people. An aspect of Shechinah is the feminineNeshamah, a collective Soul. Malkut is the Womb within which individual Souls are incrementally assembled to constitute the universal Soul -- She who is to be, at the end of Time, the Bride of Zer Anpin, the Supernal Man.
The Divine Image of Zer Anpin is to be transmitted to the Body of Man, so that it may become the Similitude of the Supernal Man. The mystical Body of Man compares to a Temple, with the Soul centrally located, and the “Holy of Holies” as its innermost Heart. In this way, one has direct contact with the Essence of God.
Thomas writes that the Son subdues Death by hanging from the Tree in the Garden. "By virtue of the Son’s Self-sacrifice, the Tree of Death becomes the Tree of Life." I recall that Joseph Campbell said that the Fruit of the Tree of Life is Jesus. I found an illustration of the idea here.
According to Thomas, the mystic visionary, William Blake,identifies the dominance of the spectral ego-persona as the eclipsing of Vision and Imagination by Reason and Moral Virtue. This imbalance has the effect of deforming both the collective Body of Man and the Tree of Life.
In his brilliant article analyzing prophecies concerning the Popes, Thomas explains Nostradamus Quatrain C5, Q92 --
The Covenant of Circumcision
Some nine days after the arrival of the White Sheet Hill formation in June, 2010, a phallic type crop formation appeared nearby on 4 July 2010. It was presumed to be a hoax, and was mostly ignored. However, hoax or not, such symbolism is quite important in Kabbalistic circles. It is also quite germane to the concept of Zer Anpin. Thomas writes extensively about the Covenant of Circumcision.
The phallic crop formation was composed of two circles from which a long pathway extended to a third circle at the end. It was pointed directly at the June White Sheet Hill crop formation.
In Kabbalism, there is a symbolic phallus within the Tree of Life -- sphere 9, Yesod. It extends to sphere 10, Malkut/Earth, via the Middle Pillar pathway connecting them. Remember that sphere 9 is one of the six Sephirot composing Zer Anpin. This phallus is the symbolic procreative organ of the Supernal Man, Zer Anpin, which implants the soul seeds into the womb -- Malkut/Earth, sphere 10. The 2006 Fife, Scotland, crop formation, illustrated above, fits this symbolism especially well. The three circles above the womb, sperm, and ball in cup glyphs, compare with the spheres above Malkut (10) on the Middle Pillar - Yesod (9), Tiphareth (6), and Keter (1), or alternately, the hidden sphere of Daat.
Kabbalistic tradition teaches that a difficulty happened in the creation process which caused the Shevirah -- the Shattering of the Vessels (Sephirot-spheres). This caused many problems, one of which is the Qliphoth (or Qlippot) - where our perception of the upper source Worlds of the Olam became opaque, obstructing our view. Our perceptions are thus limited to the "phallic" area of Yesod until theTikkun Olam -- the repair of the Tree of Life and the World.
Circumcision symbolizes removing the opaque obstruction to our perceptions, so that our view becomes clear. We can then perceive up into the timeless spiritual realms above. The Divine Light from above is no longer obstructed, removing the impediment to its flow into our World through the incarnation of living Souls.
The process is to lift Malkut up to the level of Binah. The effect brings the attribute of Mercy to the Feminine in our world, which mitigates the harsh judgmental tendency. The Shechinah then returns from her Exile in this World.
The Biblical Covenant of Circumcision involves the story ofAbram and his wife, Sarai (or Sara), having their names changed to Abraham and Sarah. The letter "H" (Heh) was added to each of their names. The reference is to the two Hehs in theTetragrammaton, the four letters of the Divine Name, YHVH (or YHWH). The four letters relate to male and female spheres of the Tree of Life. The first letter, Y (Yod), represents the first male emanation, Chochmah/Wisdom, the supernal Father -- sphere 2 of the Tree of Life. The first Heh represents Binah/Understanding, the first Female aspect of the Godhead -- sphere 3. The V (Vau) connotes the “Body” of six Sephirot which together comprise the Son, Zer Anpin. The final Heh signifies Malkut/Shechinah, the Bride of Binah’s Son, Zer Anpin -- sphere 10.
The four sets of Sephirot comprising the Tetragrammaton define the five levels of the universal Soul (or Pleroma). The letter Heh, and therefore the the two Feminine aspects, associate with the number five.
The symbolic purpose is to restore to Man the one component of his eternal Symmetry that was lost in the Fall -- Equilibrium, represented by the Heh in Abraham’s rectified name.
Thomas writes in detail about Zer Anpin and the Covenant of Circumcision in these articles --

Sheet Name Coincidence
Shortly after starting this "Zer Anpin" portion of this article, a coincidence happened. While re-reading one of the articles by Thomas, I came to this statement --
There is a coincidental name association between the words "Bara sheet", with the location name of the concerned crop formation at White Sheet Hill. The words "Bara Sheet" mean "created Six", while the crop formation at White Sheet Hill demonstrate the six days of creation by the six-fold ring of circles.
Symbolism of Two Couples and the Tetragrammaton
In my 2001 article about the 9-11 attacks as a symbolic event, there is a subsection titled, "Symbolism of Two Couples." This was based on several dreams of two couples and a possible connection to the 9-11 events.
The first dream of that type came around 1990, when Nancy reported a dream of observing two couples setting in opposing seats in an airliner. The male of one couple wore the same perfume as the female of the other couple.
Years later, it stuck me that dreams of two couples could relate to the symbolism of the Tetragrammaton, YHVH (or YHWH) -- as the two male and two female associations within the Tree of Life, as discussed above.
I included that information in the article, because there is a possible symbolic connection within the 9-11 events. This involves the most famous person killed on that day,Barbara Olsen, who was aboard Flight 77 when it struck the Pentagon. She was the arch enemy of Hillary Clinton, having written two derogative books about Hillary, one of which was published after 9-11-2001.
Barbara Olsen was the wife of Ted Olsen, the Solicitor General of the United States. September 11 was, coincidentally, his 61st birthday. Ted became well known the year prior to 9-11, when he successfully won the Supreme Court case of Bush v. Gore, settling the contested 2000 Presidential election.
Barbara, and Ted were lawyers, as are Hillary and Bill Clinton. Dee and I had noted that many dreams with a suggestion of karma/judgment often include lawyers, judges, courts, police, and the like.
The death of Barbara Olsen by being slammed into the Pentagon on Flight 77 may have carried karmic symbolism related to the Tetragrammaton. Disclaimer: I am not making a personal judgment about Barbara or anyone.
On 14 August 2008, a crop circle formation appeared at Barton le Clay, Bedfordshire, that looked quite like the Pentagon --
Image credit: Bertold Zugelder
The design is similar to a counterclockwise swastika, which is traditionally said to be going west, the direction of death. Recall that the Bythorn Mandala, discussed above, had a pentagram within a pentagon, and seemed to be associated with Kali and the karmic Kali Yuga time cycle. It is noteworthy that one of the symbols of Kali is the swastika.
