Crop Circles: The Hopi Prophecies
Diane: I understand you've had contact with Hopi Elders about the similarities
between their sacred symbols and the glyphs appearing in the fields in England.
How did this come about?
Chet: In the early 1980s I was officially a historian, archivist, and
administrative officer for the US Air Force at Travis Air Force Base in
California. At that time, two things occurred that were life changing. I had an
industrial accident that wrenched my back, which allopathic medicine couldn't
seem to resolve. And my grandmother died. She had been a very important force
in my adult life, and although she didn't raise me, she was my closest living
relative and emotional support.
These two things set into motion a chain of events, one of which got me
interested in the subject of past lives. My grandmother quite literally decided
that I needed instruction from the other side. She was very clear in what she
said to me I was to meet a woman named Helen, who worked in Berkeley which
wasn't far from where I lived and it would be a very important meeting to
help me understand why certain things had happened to me.
Within a week someone mentioned psychologist Dr. Helen Wambach, who was at
Berkeley and had written some of the very first books on past-life therapy. I
met Helen, and first I was her patient. Within six months, through the help of
regression therapy, my back problem went away.
My association with her led me to write Mass Dreams of the Future,[1] which was
Helen's original idea. Not only can we use states of higher consciousness to go
into the past, but we can also look at the most probable lines of the future.
This was, of course, a really incredible idea, particularly for the mid-1980s.
Unfortunately, just as we were starting to collaborate, Helen passed away from
a heart attack, and I inherited the project.
It was around this point in time that crop circles began to become a little
more public. As I think you know, crop circles have been here probably forever,
but certainly in modern times there have been photographs and reports of them
in the media, scattered, as far back as the late 1970s. But it wasn't until the
late 1980s that they became more prominent and more complex.
Part of Mass Dreams of the Future talked about the prophecies of Edgar Cayce as
well as the Hopi Prophecies. And my book had been published for about a year or
so when I was invited over by the Cayce Institute in England to do some
lectures there. It was at a lecture in London that I first heard of crop
circles. This was in 1990, I think.
I didn't have a chance to visit any circles at the time. But someone told me
that some of the new crop circles that were appearing, that year and the year
before, resembled some of the Southwestern Pueblo Indian petroglyphs.
Although I wasn't an expert, I had studied the Hopi Prophecy, and I knew about
the Hopi Tablets and the Hopi Prophecy Rock. So I put two and two together, and
thought there might be a connection between crop circles and the Hopi
traditions.
In January or February of 1991, I moved to Arizona. And about that time someone
gave me one of the very first books on crop circles from the Center for Crop
Circle Studies. It was filled with line drawings, and I was very intrigued with
these. I thought, Gee, some day I've got to show these to some Native people
if I ever meet any. I had known one or two Hopi, but I really wasn't "involved"
with the Hopi tribe.
Then out of the blue I got a phone call, and it was a young man who was working
with one of the Hopi traditional elders. He said, "I read your book, and we
know you're in Arizona. Are you free this afternoon, because Grandfather Martin
would like to meet you and would like you to come and hear what our prophecies
really say."
So I said, sure. And he told me to plan to come up for a couple of days. So I
grabbed some photocopies I had made of the diagrams in the crop circle book,
stuffed them in my suitcase, and friend and I got in his truck and went there.
The Hopi were very polite and a little bit reserved. They seemed to be
operating on the idea that we could help with a land dispute that was going on
with them. They seemed to feel that if someone could find their ancient missing
tablets, these might persuade Uncle Sam that there was a stronger case for
these lands than the government's representatives realized.
The Hopi also seemed to be interested in the fact that I had mentioned their
prophecy in my book. They were very concerned about what was coming "the
purification," as they call it which they see in negative terms as a great
disruption of civilization.
They were unhappy that the world was to be turned upside down, but they also
realized that from a spiritual perspective our world is no longer meeting the
conditions set up by Creator. We've taken a wrong turn somewhere, and something
has to happen to shake us out of our complacency, they said.
Later, after spending some time together, we came together for dinner at a kind
of town hall in one of the Hopi villages on Second Mesa. There were about
twenty of us in this room having dinner, mostly men and a couple of women. They
were very reserved . . . polite . . . not very forthcoming.
Sometime after dinner, I thought of the crop circle diagrams I had been
carrying around in my briefcase. I pulled these papers out and everything
changed. You should have seen the look on their faces when they saw these
designs. They lit up. There was recognition involved, and it was quite amazing.
One man, formerly reserved and dignified, in his late sixties, became excited
just like a little kid. He grabbed one of the diagrams out of my hand, turned
it upside down, and said, "No, no, no, this is put the wrong way, it should be
looked at like this." He then started to explain it in Hopi terms.
The glyph had been titled Mother Earth Goddess and had appeared in 1989. When
he took it, he said, "No, this is the womb, and here is the birth canal, and
here is life coming out into our Fourth World this dimension. We have this
inscribed on some of our sacred rocks in our Sacred Canyon." For the Hopi, it
was a representation of the birth or creation process.
Another glyph I showed them came from the same time period and was called the
Dumbbell series. The Hopi man said, "This is our story of how the ancestors
came from the sky." Of course, I was all ears by this time.
Coincidentally, while this talk was taking place, it was announced that we were
bombing Bhagdad.
Here we are, out in the middle of nowhere, in a place with modern but
rudimentary comforts, up on the Mesa, almost in another world, and the Hopi are
telling me stories of how this world must be purified and will come to an end,
and they are looking at these drawings of crop circles as a sign that this time
is approaching and at the same time, we are being told that the U.S. is going
to war with Iraq. At the very same time.
So along with talk of land disputes and wanting people to testify in court,
there was this other layer happening at the same time. There were even people
there with videocameras, and we were allowed to take pictures. Normally the
Hopi are a very reserved people, so this was a really great opportunity, and
something which has never occurred since.
The next day, we went out to one of the canyons on their land. We were asked
not to reveal where it was. We got out of the 4-by-4s, and after walking 20
minutes we suddenly found ourselves at a rock cliff face that went up about 100
feet with a mesa on top. All along the base of this, probably as far as a man
on another man's shoulders could reach, were petroglyphs inscribed in the rock.
We were told that normally non-Hopi people are not allowed to come here, but
they made an exception for us because of the crop circle diagrams I had shown
them. They wanted me to see how some of the crop circles related to their
petroglyphs.
Sure enough, the ones like the Mother Earth Goddess and the Dumbbell were
there, inscribed on the rocks. Not necessarily in the same proportions, but the
pattern was quite clear. They gave us a quick lesson in what I would call The
Hopi Story of Genesis the Creation story of our world as it occurs at three
different levels: inside the earth, on the earth's surface, and above or in the
Cosmic dimension.
All three were depicted, and the two that had images similar to the crop
circles were levels within the earth depicting what they called Sipapu: a round
room believed to exist somewhere in the ground. The entrance to it, they feel,
is located in a very deep sinkhole in the valley of the Little Colorado River
in northern Arizona, near what used to be their land before it was taken away
so long ago. I guess it is now part of the Navaho reservation.
In this round room or Sipapu, as they call it, every time there has been a
major world catastrophe, what we call earth changes (the Hopi say we move from
one world to another), those people who are following the role that Creator has
given them are taken in safety to this room, to be held there in order to start
or populate the new world. Sipapu was one of the things they recognized as the
round circles in the glyphs.
At the sky level of the wall, the more complex crop circle glyphs came into
play. There was one called The Earth, which, in the Hopi designs, is a series
of concentric circles which are mated with a star symbol a very beautiful
disc with a ring around it. At the edge of this picture is the Hopi symbol for
the moon. The moon is a symbol of time for them very important because they
count by "moons."
The Hopi gave me to understand, from their point of view, that it is Mother
Earth herself, giving us warning that not only have we taken a wrong turn, but
also we are about to pay the consequences for the error of our ways. Somehow we
have adopted the mindset that the Earth is ours to utilize and plunder as we
wish, instead of the philosophy that we belong to the Earth and we are her
caretakers.
The last thing that Grandfather Martin told me before I left was, "I want you
to understand this about prophecy and about the future. You think that just
because you have all these sophisticated weapons and technology you are going
to bomb and beat back the people with Sadam Hussein. Our prophecy says that
this is the beginning of the purification, and this war is going to last for
decades, and 10 years from now Sadam Hussein is still going to be in power, and
he is still going to be causing your government trouble."
Of course, at the time I didn't think too much about it. But boy when you think
about 2001 and whoever is behind the terrorism happening in the world, Sadam
Hussein must certainly be privy to it. It is very prophetic that Grandfather
Martin would have made that very bold statement.
By the way, did you know that the word Jihad actually means "cleansing" or
"purification" in Arabic? When I heard this I remembered what the Hopi said ten
years ago.
The year after meeting the Hopi, I went back to England and made sure I went
into a crop circle. And that's the story of how I got drawn into the Crop
Circle mysteries.
Diane: What a great story! Thanks for sharing that.
Crop Circles: Messages from the Stars
Diane: It appears to me that something very deep and meaningful is occurring
within the Crop Circle phenomenon.
Chet: Well, there is.
The Hopi experiences got me interested, but they've taken a backseat for me as
I continue to appreciate the phenomenon for itself, in its own right. Because
there is something quite incredible happening. I do think it is one of the
world's great mysteries, yet very few people are paying attention.
Since that time with the Hopi, ten years ago, I've researched crop circles
every summer, and have kept watch on the symbols that have appeared. I've
noticed certain symbols appearing that I believe are very important.
For example, in 1992 a crop design occurred in England that included a crescent
moon for the first time. In fact, it was very close to the Hopi moon symbol
which is a full moon with a crescent moon in the middle of it. It was in the
petroglyphs I was shown but it had never been seen in a crop circle. Yet here
it was in a crop circle two years later.
I showed it to one of the elders, and his answer was , "The time is growing
nearer. This is the sign of the People of the Moon, the ones you were fighting
with in the Gulf War." The People of the Moon are the Islamic people their
symbol is the Star of Venus with the crescent moon.
It is also interesting to note that before 1992 there had never been a crescent
moon symbol in the crop fields, and after 1992, every single year since, we've
had at least one design that incorporates it.
Crop circles seem to be multidimentional in nature, due in part to the fact
that they utilize Sacred Geometry. They can be fascinating to mathematicians,
interesting to architects, and I've even known engineers to be interested in
crop circles because they feel that certain of the designs could be blueprints
for different types of motors.
There have been crop circles that have represented the Tree of Life of the
Kaballah, and there was one that was looked like a Menorah. There have been
Stars of David, or Seal of Solomon-type designs. And so the symbols of
different religions have been represented in the crop circles.
Diane: Is there a sense of an international language?
Chet: Yes, in a way. It appeals to so many types of people. I think the crop
circles work on our subconscious mind, similar to the way a mandala does.
What many people don't realize is that even though the modern day phenomenon
has centered around southern England, there have been crop circles in many
different countries including America and Canada.
Diane: Where have crop circles shown up here in the United States?
Chet: Well, mostly in the Northwest Washington, Oregon, Utah, Idaho, and
Montana although there also have been some in the midwest, particularly in
Oklahoma and Kansas. I know of one set in South Carolina, and in Maryland there
have been a number, also in upstate New York.
One very interesting design that couldn't be called a crop circle but certainly
seems to fit in to the same category was a sand circle that occurred outside of
Albuquerque some years ago and came on a very significant date to the Navajo
people. It was shaped like a spiral. There was also a sand image reported in
Egypt one year.
Most of the designs seem to be based on what is called Sacred Geometry
starting with a simple circle, triangle, rectangle, and square, and their
relationships. It takes someone with mathematical or geometric understanding to
put them together and break them down into their individual components.
One of the best experts in this particular aspect of crop circles research is a
fellow named Zef Damen. He starts with the final product and works backward.
It's very complex. Most of the more intricate crop circles of the last few
years require at least 20 to 22 steps starting from a circle to arrive at the
design. And some of the steps are incredible to think could happen out in a
field, especially in the middle of the night. Even a crew of relatively skilled
people would have a hard time creating some of the designs. I'm not saying it
would be impossible, but they would have a hard time doing it.
Diane: Even if there were humans that made it, there still seems to be
something guiding the process, don't you think?
Chet: Well, there would almost have to be. First of all, if you look at the
young men in England who claim to be making these, none of them has the
background, by their own admission, to design these extraordinarily complex
geometric iterations that have to take place in order to end up with the final
design. That alone is very interesting, because it says that even if some of
these designs are made by these young men, something somewhere is influencing
them. Maybe they've opened themselves to allow this force. . . this
intelligence. . . to work with them or through them.
I do believe, however, that there are crop circles that have been created in
the last six years that could not be manmade due to the conditions in which
they occurred that is to say, in a short amount of time. Some of them have
been clocked at happening within 30 minutes to an hour, in the middle of the
night, without any lights and with no physical evidence of significant human
presence.
By significant human presence, I mean that one person might be able to make it
through a field without being detected, but there is no way to hide the fact
that ten people walked through a field. Which is what it would take to create
some of the circles.
Some really incredible designs have been made by humans, but the farmer is
aware of what's going on, there are lights involved, and there is always
evidence of many people working in a field. You can see where they walked or
you see where they laid down poles to make surveys.
There are crop circles however, that have been found that don't have any of
that kind of evidence and yet are of incredible, beautiful design. Certainly
one of the most extraordinary ones of this year is the one on Milk Hill. They
call it the Mega Julia after a French mathematician. It is a nautilus-kind of
curve that occurs in many living structures, like a seashell for instance.
It has 409 circles. It's 850 feet in diameter, and the center circle is big
enough to put a house in so it covers about half an acre.
It was estimated that if you took the time when the sun went down on August 12
to the time the sun came out the next morning, and divided it by 409, you would
have to have made a circle every 30 seconds to create that formation.
Anyway, it was situated on a hill where a lot of people go hiking, and there
were people out there the night before, so it couldn't have been made by a team
of people, otherwise they would have been noticed.
And to boot, I understand that it was also the nastiest weather night of the
month of August. It was a stormy, rainy night by all accounts.
So when you add things up, it just doesn't compute that these could be done
entirely by human beings.
Diane: Did any of the crop circles have a correlation with September 11 in your
estimation?
Chet: Crop circles are finished by that date. Even in bad weather years, the
harvest takes place late in the month of August or early September. The latest
crop circle that has come up in England was the 5th or 6th of September.
Milk Hill was August 11 or 12.
The next night after that August 13, what they call the Face appeared. That
was one of the two that came in the same field next to Britain's major radio
telescope observatory. They both seem to tie in with what one might call, for
want of a better word, "glyphs" concerning other parts of our solar system.
Many people have tied this glyph to the Face on Mars that was viewed by the
Viking Orbitor in the '70s. And The Face is qualitatively different from other
crop circles. It's very interesting, because it is not really made of circles.
It is made like a honeycomb. If you were to slice through a honey comb you'd
find hexagonal shapes. The pixels that are on The Face, are not hexagonal, they
are actually diamond shaped, like squares turned on one corner, and each
diamond is enclosed by a circle.
The most intriguing thing about The Face is that the further back you get from
it, the better the perspective of the picture. So when we were close to it,
particularly when we were inside it was impossible to tell what the design
was. It was like walking through a whole series of dots in circular frames.
Some of the dots were closely packed together making a darker portion, because
there was less flattened and more standing crop.
But when you take an aerial view from far away, the dots arrange themselves,
just as they do in a printed photograph, into a recognizable pattern of light
and shadow that becomes a face.
In my mind, making this crop circle by hand would have required a brilliant
designer and a team of very skilled persons who were adept in working with
feathery materials such as wheat stock, and all this in a field at night next
to an observatory that is fenced in. People were working there the day before.
There was even a night crew, and no one saw or heard anything. It was
discovered the next morning when the day crew came on duty.
Five days later, on the night of August 19 20 in the same field, a rectangle
of about 100 by 200 feet appeared. The rectangle had a border of laid-down
wheat and what is extraordinary about it is the image was in binary code.
Normally, binary code is made up of ones and zeros. In this case the code was
created in squares.
Diane: What did the code say?
Chet: This is what's interesting. This particular template was used by Carl
Sagan, the astronomer from Cornell, and a team that worked with NASA back in
1974, to send out a radio message using this exact format. The message that was
sent was about the Earth, the human race, and our solar system, and it was
literally beamed out by radio telescope to the stars. That was done from
Arecibo, Puerto Rico, which has the major radio telescope of the United States.
The message had different levels. One level portrayed the atomic numbers for
what is considered to be the building blocks of carbon-based life things like
nitrogen, oxygen, hydrogen, carbon, etc. (click on photo to see diagram
comparing the crop circle with the actual message).
Next, it talked about the molecular nucleic formula that is necessary to make
up the protein that we have in our DNA, plus a graphic of our DNA, of the
double helix. There was a graphic of a human being with a small head and fairly
long legs, and a graphic of the number of people on the earth, which at that
time was 4 billion at that time. All of this was done in binary code.
Finally, there was a picture of our solar system, and at the bottom, a picture
of the radio telescope: a curved dish on a platform.
Now what came back in the crop circle was exactly the same, and in exactly the
same format but with certain changes.
In the series of elements, there were six elements instead five. Silicon was
added in its correct place in the atomic periodic table.
The place where the human being was came back looking very different. Instead
of having a small head, this being had a big head, and instead of being six
feet tall, the being was about four feet tall and had long arms.
In terms of the picture of the solar system, again, it was different. The size
of the sun was smaller and there were different planets highlighted. In the
original message from Arecibo, the third planet from the sun was highlighted.
Here, the crop circle showed three planets the third, fourth, and fifth
with the 5th planet being highlighted.
Now, remember this was all done in binary squares in the middle of a crop field.
Under that, it had the number 7 billion instead of 4 billion. And down below,
instead of a picture of the telescope, it showed a crop circle from the year
2000 that had occurred in the same field only a year earlier.
As you can imagine, the discovery of this image created a huge uproar, as soon
as people realized what it must be. It's not just that it was done in exactly
the same pattern and set up as the radio telescope of 1974 it was like a
direct answer.
Diane: Kind of like the movie Contact.
Chet: That's what people have said. And yet, it's very hard for anyone to
believe.
Now, then, with this extraordinary news set to come out, suddenly what happened
was September 11. No part of this phenomenon will probably ever get into the
mainstream, because the whole world is focused on something else.
I'm not saying that there is a direct cause and effect here. But I do think it
is interesting to note the relationship in time of the two events. And in
Canada, where the season ends later than in England sometime between
September 11 and 14 another symbol appeared, that was much simpler than the
one in England but nonetheless was rectangular in shape, and looks like what
they call the Seal of Solomon, which is a rectangular Star of David with 7
points that connect into two triangles and a big central circle. That one has
not been reported very much.
So there has been a progression this year toward something. And then, of
course, it stopped because the end of the season came. There are many of us
waiting for next year to see what they'll do to top this one, and what
additional information we may receive.
Diane: Wow, that's something!
Chet: What I say to people is that this is one of the biggest stories of the
last 500 years since the discovery of America if it's true. And of course
we don't know if it is.
Diane: But what an exciting mystery!
Chet: Now you see how something that started for me 10 years ago with the Hopi,
and 15 years ago with my grandmother coming to me from the other side, has
brought me into this marvelous mystery one of the greatest of our time.
For me this phenomenon is like being on a rollercoaster ride with someone else
at the controls. Until we are given the full picture, there is nothing much we
can do except speculate and use our God-given human intelligence to piece
things together.
And until then, it's a heck of a ride. Enjoy the pictures!
Diane: Thank you Chet!
