Fellow avalonians....

I will be in Avebury with all the wonderful avalonians who make it there, as this is a resonating site "par excellence"...

But

if i wasn't, i'd be at chartres cathedral.

Any knowledgable european will know about this place, so i am almost apologetic in mentioning it, but the stone floor there contains the world famous "labryinth", and although this is something i can't personally verify, many have said that by walking the labyrinth into the middle, you can access other dimensions while walking the 964 feet of its path. Colin Wilson stated as such in his well respected book "Beyond the Occult".

http://www.labyrinthos.net/chartpics.htm

This is certainly a seriously special place on the grid, and Daniel Johnston wrote about the concept of the labyrinth that you shouldn't need a map to walk a labyrinth, its a sacred walk....the "map" is another word for "life"...

"In reality the right or correct direction is always right before us, if we just give up the distraction of the map. If we move from left brain to right brain [for those who don't know, the left brain is the logical brain and the right is the intuitive brain], open our eyes, and drop the illusion of the map, then we can clearly see the path and recognise that we are already on it. It was there all the time. It IS there all the time. The path is one of intuition and faith, and it always involves risk. The path is full of creativity and surprise and inevitably takes us off the beaten path, the well-known path, towards where no map can go, and where no map is of use. Each path in life is unique. My path is not your path, and your is not mine. We must each mind our own way.

We all have our strategies and plans and our schematic diagrams of where life IS, or SHOULD be going. While clinging to the labyrinth map robs us of the lived labyrinth experience, such clinging may also be needed in order to lead us to the precipice where the trail disappears, and we are thrust onto our own resources. We may need the safety of a map until we learn to trust our experience and ourselves.

Such trust begins at the entrance to one of life's labyrinths, often disguised as one of life's crises, where we are forced to discard the labyrinth map and step into the journey to our own deep selves through a leap of faith."

Listen to the Labyrinth: Have faith in your instinct, and do not fear change.
