THE RETURN FOCUS TRIANGLE

There is no other place in the world like this unique configuration. The area surrounding the whole Upper Rogue River in Oregon could be a National Park, like Yellowstone, a sacred area to those wise ones who lived on this land for thousands of years before we came here with our peculiar ideas of land ownership and exploitation.

The apexes of this triangle are at Eight Dollar Mountain, near Selma, Oregon, Mt. Scott to the east of Crater Lake and the summit of Mt. Shasta in California.

A perceptive friend noted that this triangle with the line through it is the ancient symbol of the Yoni. (Perhaps this pertains to its function, as a place of returning, or entering.)

The Ley Lines forming the sides of this triangle are:

* MCVAY ROCK south of Brookings, OR/ Eight Dollar Mountain/ OREGON VORTEX/ INDIAN BATTLEGROUND south of Lost Creek Dam--OR/ Rogue River Gorge--OR/ Mt. Scott--OR/ Winema--OR(dv)/ Monument Rock--OR/ BUTTE, MT/ War Horse Nat'l Wildlife Refuge--MT/ continuing on North-East.
* TICHNOR ROCK, Point Orford, OR/ Eight-Dollar Mountain--OR/ Mt. Shasta--CA/ Honey Lake--CA/ Reno, NV/ TONOPAH, NV/ Grand Wash, NV (dv)/ Peach Springs, AZ (dv)/ Prescott, AZ/ MIAMI, AZ/ Animas Peak--NM
* END OF BOLINAS BAY--CA/ Petaluma, CA/ Redding Airport--CA/ Mt. Shasta--CA/ Mt. Scott--OR/ Mt. Jefferson--OR/ Mt. Hood--OR/ Snoqualmie Pass--WA/ Newhelem, WA

The following ley line starts at the OREGON VORTEX , and may go all the way to an island [Easter Island] in the Pacific. It reminds me of a string, and the Return Focus Triangle is the kite on the end of that string (or a landing pattern).

[A book about the Oregon Votex is "The Golden Vortex" by Nick Nelson (Concious Publishing, January 2001), which can be purchased at http://www.vortexmaps.com/htmla/items.php.
Nick lived there for 10 years and experienced many strange phenomena. He's also a self-taught scientific genius, and he writes of many of his inventions (a time-travel machine, for instance) and ideas in this book.]

MT. SCOTT

You can hike to an old Forest Service lookout at the summit of this defunct volcano on the east side of Crater Lake in Oregon. This is one of the apexes of the RETURN FOCUS TRIANGLE. The following first two ley lines are two of the sides of that triangle.
These are the ley lines passing through Mt. Scott:

* END OF BOLINAS BAY--CA/ Petaluma, CA/ Rancho Tehama Airport--CA/ Redding Airport--CA/ Mt. Shasta--CA/ Aspen Butte--OR/ Mt. Scott/ 7500' Mountain north of Mt. Thielsen--OR/ Mt. Jefferson--OR/ Mt. Hood--OR/ on north
* MCVAY ROCK south of Brookings, OR/ Eight-Dollar-Mountain--OR/ INDIAN BATTLEGROUND south of Lost Creek Dam--OR/ Rogue River Gorge--OR/ Mt. Scott/ Winema--OR (dv)/ Monument Rock--OR/ BIGHOLE BATTLEFIELD--MT/ BUTTE, MT/ on northeast
* CAPE BLANCO--OR/ Woodby Mt.--OR/ Canyonville--OR (dv)/ Mt. Scott--OR/ Yamsay Mt.--OR/ Diablo Mt.--OR/ STEENS MT. AREA--OR/ Pyramid Pk--WY (This line partly defines the STEENS MT. AREA--OR, in the GIANT TRIANGLE OF THE WEST--see page 63.)

This line defines the base east-west line of the bottom triangle of the STEENS MT. AREA in the center of the GIANT TRIANGLE OF THE WEST.

EIGHT DOLLAR MOUNTAIN

This conical mountain of serpentine near Selma, Oregon, is the western apex of the Return Focus Triangle. It is as if all the ley lines converge at this mountain before sinking into the trench off the coast, which is like a giant antenna, pulling all deep into the Earth. Eight-Dollar-Mountain, along with the whole Siskiyu Range, has the most peculiar geology, mineral formations, fauna and flora. The Siskiyu's run east and west, and contain many rare plants and animals, for they have both northern and southern climates.

MT. ASHLAND

Mount Ashland, near Ashland, Oregon, is in the center of The Return Focus Triangle and exudes wonderful gold and violet positive creative energies. This vortex is on the ley line beginning at the Oregon Vortex (which is situated on the line between Eight-Dollar Mountain and Mount Scott), which passes through the very summits of Mt. Ashland, Mt. Shasta, Mt. Lassen and Mt. Baldy in Southern California.
These are the Ley Lines passing through this Vortex:

* OREGON VORTEX/ Mt. Ashland--OR/ Mt. Shasta--CA/ Big Bend Hot Springs--CA/ Mt. Lassen--CA/ Mt. Baldy--CA/ on out into the Pacific (This is part of the configuration of the RETURN FOCUS TRIANGLE, see page 50.)
