SPIRITUAL CINEMA CIRCLEConferences in the area this Fall provided introductions to a number of interesting films, including two made by Connecticut people. They relate to stones, megaliths, and crop circles, and all point toward 2012. CONSCIOUS CIRCLES COLIN ANDREWS is a crop circle researcher living in Guilford with his wife SYNTHIA ANDREWS, an energy healer and naturopathic physician. Together they have written one of the best introductory books on 2012, The Complete Idiots Guide To 2012 and more recently The Complete Idiots Guide To The Akashic Records. At the September Spirit of Change Expo in Sturbridge, Colin gave a talk summing up his years of crop circle research. I made a point of attending as I have followed Colin's work for many years. The talk was based on his recently released documentary Conscious Circles. Colin's research has expanded into the study of human consciousness where crop circles offer an exceptional keyhole into the fascinating realm of how our mind interacts with an intelligent and conscious universe. His study on the intelligence behind the crop circles and the interaction between this intelligence, and both crop circle researchers and crop circle makers, forms the basis of his current work. Colin's thirty years of first-hand research are wrapped up in this presentation. He was the first crop circle researcher and author of the crop circle phenomena. In Colin's personal history and the stories he shares of other researchers, hoaxers and the general public, extraordinary connections unfold between UFOs, alien encounters, government conspiracies, and crop circles. What is revealed in the patterns in the fields is the direction needed to help us through the challenges of the near future and into the evolution of consciousness. The movie is available for purchase on his website at ColinAndrews.net. THE RAINBOW SERPENT PROJECT The recent Megalithomania Conference in Glastonbury brought a number of visitors from England to Connecticut, including TOR WEBSTER, who leads the Rainbow Serpent Project and travels the world working on his film trilogy. At the conference he screened the first film in the series in which Tor traveled the world for five years visiting each of the Earth's chakra points: Mount Shasta, CA; Lake Titicaca, Peru; Uluru, Australia; Glastonbury, UK; Giza, Egypt; and Mount Kailash, Tibet. The Rainbow Serpent is the story of one man's sacred journey across the globe to sacred sites of power and wisdom. Prompted by spirit to travel to key points on the earth grid, Tor encounters strange synchronicites in his own life, with those who are on a similar path, the definition of fractality, and "as above so below" in our own daily lives. The sites are beautiful and instill in the viewer the peace collected at each site. The story flows and captivates your imagination. Tor helps us realize that this world is gorgeous beyond compare, and it is our sacred duty to uphold oneness. He worked with ceremonies at each of the sites in order, interviewing Tribal Elders, Charley Thom, Bob Randell, etc. Then all Tor's synchronics, crazy and beautiful findings and all of the adventures are present in a rich tapestry of images and poetry, with mixed media footage of nature and beauty from the sacred world. Tor links the myths and legends from all over the world displaying a deep culture that many have missed. This film is to inspire people to travel consciously around the world and into their hearts. Tor is currently filming the second film in the series, which is following his journey around the four Earth's Element sites and the three Earth's Alchemical sites. These include Cape Town, South Africa, New Zealand, Jerusalem, Bali, Mount Fuji, Japan and Palenque, Mexico. Tor is visiting these sites interviewing tribal representatives, members of the local spiritual communities and travelers of their experiences and thoughts on these sites being associated to the various alignments. Then Tor's findings will be presented in very much a similar fashion to The Earth Chakras film, with a personal, powerful and spiritual poetic narration, over a canvas of rich imagery and background of potent music and sounds. (RainbowSerpent.co.uk) SECRETS OF THE STONES: NEW ENGLAND Another new film shown at Megalithamania with a Connecticut connection is "Secrets of the Stones: New England" by PATRICK COOKE and BARBARA DELONG. Patrick is an author, researcher, and recognized authority in the hidden facts about world history and ancient cultures. He has been involved in intensive research about the stone anomalies of New England with his wife, Barbara, and has produced a website database about them. Barbara is a world-recognized spiritualist, author, professional artist, and talk show host. The video explores the megalithic structures in New England with an overview of the many theories about their origins, the connections to the thousands of megaliths world wide and the scientific refusal to recognize anything but simplistic and unrealistic orthodox views of how and why the world's megaliths were built. Of particular interest was their view that the many stone walls we find throughout Connecticut may not have all been made by farmers clearing land for fields, but were here long before the arrival of Europeans and even the Native Americans they found here. The film has not been finalized but part of it is available for viewing on their website, SecretsOfTheStones.org. Also note on the website their detailed map of megaliths in the United States and the vast number in New England.
