'HUGE' Buddhist 'Endless Knot' Crop Circle even has the Skeptics baffled..?!

[jackovesk]

That must have taken forever! Intricate crop circles of Buddhist symbol for infinite time and wisdom appears in crop field

13 August 2012

This is the latest intricate crop circle to appear overnight in a British wheat field.

The mysterious pattern resembles the ancient Tibetan Buddhist symbol of an 'endless knot' - a complex loop of lines and circles used to illustrate the eternal flow of time.

The symbol has many meanings but because it has no beginning and no end many people who follow the religion say it represents the wisdom of Buddha.

PS - The significance behind the Buddhist 'Endless Knot'..?


The endless knot (Skt. shrivatsa; Tib. dpal be'u) is a closed, graphic ornament composed of right-angled, intertwined lines. It overlaps without a beginning or an end, symbolising the Buddha's endless wisdom and compassion. It indicates continuity as the underlying reality of existence. It is conjectured that it may have evolved from an ancient naga symbol with two stylized snakes.

The latter image signifies the dramatic interplay and interaction of the opposing forces in the dualistic world of manifestation, leading to their union, and ultimately to harmony in the universe. This fact is amply reflected in the symmetrical and regular form of the endless knot.

The intertwining of lines represents how all phenomena are conjoined and yoked together as a closed cycle of cause and effect. Thus the whole composition is a pattern that is closed on in itself with no gaps, leading to a representational form of great simplicity and fully balanced harmony.

Since all phenomena are interrelated, the placing of the endless knot on a gift or greeting card is understood to establish an auspicious connection between the giver and the recipient. At the same time, the recipient is goaded to righteous karma, being reminded that future positive effects have their roots in the causes of the present. This is because the knot represents a connection, a link with our fates, binding us to our karmic destiny. Not surprisingly, this is one of the most favorite symbols in Tibetan Buddhism, and often occurs on its own.

Other, related interpretations of the endless knot have also been given, such as the following:


The auspicious drawing symbolises the mutual dependence of religious doctrine and secular affairs. Similarly, it represents the union of wisdom and method, the inseparability of emptiness and dependent arising at the time of path, and finally, at the time of enlightenment, the complete union of wisdom and great compassion.

Awesome!

As much as I appreciate and encourage human ingenuity and innovation, I just cannot believe that human beings went into this field at night, created this intricate pattern and then disappeared without leaving any evidence that they were there!

As much as I appreciate the creativity of Nature (and how Nature does love to play with patterns and colour and variety), I cannot believe that Nature created this intricate pattern overnight.

I do notice that the pattern is not perfectly aligned within the human-made lines in the field. If this was deliberate, then I wonder what the significance is? Six of the 19 symbols do not touch any lines.

Awesome crop circle. I also wish I could see a better view of the one in the upper left corner. Is that a planet with some kind of rings around it?

[smithersjones]

the one in the upper left corner. Is that a planet with some kind of rings around it?
After looking at that again, you may well be onto something here?

The endless knot has been described as "an ancient symbol representing the interweaving of the spiritual path, the flowing of Time and movement within That Which is Eternal. All existence, it says, is bound by time and change, yet ultimately rests serenely within the Divine and the Eternal."

Simply put, the Endless Knot has No Beginning and No End

AS you just quoted. Maybe the sphere is the symbol of the Serenely divine resting within circles of Time & Movement. I LIKE IT!!!

Could it also be argued that this is a "Shield Knot"?


Shield Knot (Four Corners)
The shield knot is an ancient and nearly universal symbol. The shield knot has been used for thousands of years by a variety of cultures for protection and warding. While the common design is most often associated with the Celts and ancient Norse, the most basic form is much older.

The fourfold version at right is Mesopotamian in origin and is associated with protective spells invoking the gods of the four corners of the earth. Later, the four-corners emblem was used in the Kabbalah as a symbol of the Shema, the prayer/spell to invoke the four Archangels; it is the origin of the “Qabbalistic Cross” ritual still used in magic today. This knot is sometimes referred to as the “Earth Square” or St. Hans cross, named for the biblical John the Baptist. The Norse and Celtic versions of the knot are used for the same purposes of protection but are related to the fourfold solar cross.

Here's an interesting article on the Celtic Shield Knot from researcher of all things Celtic, Mark D Jordon:
http://ezinearticles.com/?Celtic-Symbol-Meaning---Celtic-Shield-Knot&id=1282364 In general there is a theme of "protection" and "the four seasons".

A thought occurred to me.
In many ways these recurring circles-- they have appeared regularly for many years-- are reassuring.
They are informing us of what is likely to happen.
now to my mind there would be no need to inform us if the human race was facing extinction--- pointless.
im sure we will be just fine

Many of these designs are absolutely brilliant. I want my 2013 calendar (if we get a 2013!) to have photos of the best ones from this year!

But is it a coincidence that as laser sights and GPS equipment has become more affordable and widely available that these designs have become more complex?

Some designs may have paranormal origins, but I suspect this is very unlikely. Just because I cannot conceive of a way anyone could make these amazingly complex designs, quickly and in the dark, I don't conclude they must therefore have been created paranormally. I've seen magicians do amazing tricks, but because I can't understand how they are done, I don't assume it was real magic.

Why is it assumed that many have a paranormal origin? We might want to believe that is the case, but where is the evidence?

Who ever designs these circles is obviously knowledgeable about, on the one hand planetary movement and on the other hand spiritual and geometry design.
There has been some evidence that at least some are not done by locals with boards on their feet---there are many videos on this subject.
Aliens--- depends how you want to define aliens.
Im inclined to believe that who ever is doing this is doing it for the well being of the human race.

[Nick Matkin]

Thanks for the reply Chris.

Yes, I have no doubt that those who make these designs are not only ingenious, but come from a variety of backgrounds including a having a deep knowledge of planetary movement, spiritual and geometry design amongst many other disciplines.

I'd like to believe they are doing it for the well-being of the human race, but not sure how we'd ever know that.

What's wrong with doing it just because:

1) It's a huge challenge to come up with evermore complex designs

2) A fulfilling social event to meet in the back of a pub or in someone's dining room with like-minded people over a few evenings to discuss the latest techniques and their next design

3) Great fun to come up with 'deeply significant' designs that will induce lively debate in forums such as this one

4) and having a great time laughing at the interpretations their designs provoke!

Aliens? I didn't mention aliens. In fact it would be interesting to go through the early reports and see who did suggest aliens and why...

[wynderer]

i had a crop circle calendar on my wall one year -- a fullblood Indian [aka Native American] who was visiting , looked at it & said, 'Ah! Medicine circles... '

w/the calendar itself -- a couple of months, the photos of the circles made me very uneasy -- some, i think, are made by the NWO ET/Human coalition to convey info to each other [i covered up those months -- never underestimate the power of symbols when incarnated in a 3D Human body, is one of my mottoes]

others seem to me to be encouraging messages from higher-dimensional beings to Humans -- these are the ones that do not kill the plants, animals, & insects in the circle

Jackovesk -- an off-topic remark re the Olympics, since that particular mega-ritual has already dropped out of sight : Che Guevara told the Indians here on the North American continent that 'they were in the belly of the beast' -- i've always thought that the brains of the beast were in the City of London

Im pretty ignorant when it comes to crop circles, but can anyone tell me if they only appear in english fields or do they appear elsewhere.?

Can anyone recommend a good "idiots guide" to crop circle website?

Hi Nick
The crop circles have been appearing for 100s of years Nick, though they are getting more complex.
The "genuine" ones don't damage the crops and appear very rapidly--- faster than loads of villagers could create.
There has been videos of them being created by orbs.
Im open minded but the simple answer is I don't know who or what makes them or why.
Many opinions on this-- I dont have one as such.
Interesting for sure though.

Regards Chris

I don't agree with some of what he says but he does present a lot of information about the potential of what crop circles are possibly real and what are out and out fake. I have had some correspondence with him and he seems to really be passionate about this field.;)

If you have some time and are really interested it is worth watching some of the extensive youtube videos he has made on the subject.

Interesting video in post no 14 above.

Playing Devil's Advocate, I would say those identified as 'man-made' were made by people using boards with sharp edges and were just not very skilled.

The 'real' ones were made by people using thicker boards with rounded edges that wouldn't leave a crease and were much better co-ordinated in their work.

Just as in any endeavour, some people/groups are better than others.

Some years ago I saw a video of circles made where light orbs seemed to be racing around a field and the circles appeared in their wake. "That can't be a fake! Only professional studios could reproduce such effects!" Indeed. Bored video editors doing stuff in their lunch break? Even easier to do now...

There is anecdotal evidence of them appearing 'very rapidly'. If done within say 15 minutes I'd suggest it was quite a feat! But a well-disciplined team who know what they are doing with the latest gear between 1 and 4 am? You'd be surprised...

As I've already said, just because I can't explain how it was done, I don't necessarily need to reach for a paranormal explanation. Where is the EVIDENCE of paranormal origins?

Hi All

Thought I'd chime in here as these happen in my backyard as it were, been following the phenomena for decades and had to laugh when Doug & Dave came out and said 'we done it, wiv a plank and a piece of string'. As the glyphs became even more sophisticated, so did those claiming responsibility, now university types who gave an impressive demo on tape for a TV show, but nothing like the complexity of so many of them. Then there's the 'microwaved crop' in authentic ones, the stem is bent, not broken, they won't mention that in any History channel coverage btw. The crop is sometimes woven too.

To Nick I'd say, where's the evidence of them being man made? Let's see the claimants produce the Julia set in 45 minutes shall we? Just to settle the matter? No, they can't do that. Tv shows on the subject are heavily slanted to make you feel foolish to even suspect they may not be man made. Don't be fooled, there's much more to this, much more. There are fakes of course, but they are easily distinguished from the extraordinary. They mostly occur in the counties of Berkshire and Wiltshire in UK, which is also home to Avebury, Silbury Hill and Stonehenge. There have been isolated incidents in Italy, Holland and Iceland, but the great majority are in the aforementioned counties and a true phenomena. I'm not so afeared of being called a fool that I rule out ET messages that we're still a little duh about deciphering.

If a team of hoaxers are using sophisiticated technology, like satellites and lasers to create these fabulous designs they sure are shelling out a heap of cash, time and energy several times a month in the summer just to have a laugh at us poor fools. Some of the farmers are so angry about it there'll be hell to pay if they catch them, funny no-one ever has, even with people camping out to watch the fields and seeing nothing, but finding circles in the morning. Some of them happen in broad daylight and no-one sees a thing. Its about time these hoaxers got the credit they deserve by showing the world their amazing technology. The demos so far have taken hours and only used planks and ropes. That old turkey. And the results are really rather crude if you care to make comparisons.

Kingmonkey, you'll find cropcircleconnector.com (or is it .net?), probably the best coverage of the subject, with archived photos by month and year.

Yes indeed wynderer,

The 'City of London' = The Banksters & R.I.I.A - Royal Institute of International Affairs, now known as Chatham House (World's No.1 :spy: Agency) oversee the (ENTIRE) NWO Globalist Criminal Cabal...:yes4:



Chatham House

CFR - Council on Foreign Relations..........................Australian Institute of International Affairs

etc, etc

History


The Royal Institute of International Affairs was founded in 1920 as the Institute of International Affairs following a meeting at the previous year's Paris Peace Conference. The first chairman was Robert Cecil, while Lionel Curtis served as honorary secretary. Arnold J. Toynbee later became director. The Council on Foreign Relations, its American sister institute, was established the following year. Chatham House's well-known headquarters at 10 St. James's Square, London, was donated to the institute in 1923, having previously been the home of three British Prime Ministers - Pitt the Elder, Edward Stanley and William Ewart Gladstone - and also of the Earl and Countess of Blessington.

The name of the building grew to be so synonymous with the institute that it was officially rebranded as "Chatham House" in September 2004. However, the "Royal Institute of International Affairs" remains its legal name and is still sometimes used interchangeably with "Chatham House". The Chatham House building is located just a few metres from the former Libyan embassy building where the 1984 Libyan Embassy Siege took place.

Soon after its foundation the Institute was renamed the British Institute of International Affairs but in 1926 the name was changed again to the Royal Institute of International Affairs.[3] A recent addition to the calendar of events is The BBC Today/Chatham House lecture series developed with the Today programme. The series was designed to promote debate and discussion on key international issues of the day. At the inaugural lecture in 2006, Condoleezza Rice defended the U.S. decision to go to war with Iraq.

ion has the best explanation concerning crop formations I've heard.

Funny[?] - i can't think of an acceptable form of that.

[smithersjones]

Hello King,
Ive done some minor research into your question, and as far as i can tell,
Crop Circles are a worldwide phenomena.

In 1686, British scientist Robert Plott, called them Fairy Rings?

Canada, Japan, Russia, Australia Europe have all experienced this phenomena.
Hope its of some help to you.

I would like to see a crop dodecahedron.

My favourite explaintion of crop circles.......Worth another 'Outing'...

Re: Cream of the crop circles:...DAILYMAIL ON LINE..



Another view which is also very interresting for me is Ions Explanation....Its been suggested by
Bob recently that Ion is some form of AI intelligence able to access our reality now we have
reached the digital age.Which is far to complex to go into here if you have not followed the info.....

One of the main concepts Ion has concistently said is there is no such thing as time just one gigantic Now....

When asked about crop circles his answer which is well worth a listen is they are made by humans several
thousand years in the future from our perspective which also reminds me of the original Dan Burish material
with the two types of future us from different times of the greater know.

Also the explanation of how thephysical nodes in the
crop react is a unique explaination......
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

iON: Crop circles are the nodes of the phytoplankton in the plants that respond a certain way, which makes
them have a certain vibrational frequency, which they lay down, because they don't crush the field, they
actually grow to the ground. It changes the way they lay. [url]www.howionic.com[url]

The symbol has many meanings but because it has no beginning and no end many people who follow the religion say it represents the wisdom of Buddha.

As Ion says " There is no such thing as time,just one gigantic now "!!
or you could call it eternity as we are also eternal beings !!

Now Celebrating 22 Years: The Sri Yantra Circle of August 10 1990.
And Done in a dry lake bed.
Most incredible indeed!
In the middle of no where for no one to see a National Guard overflight spots a massive earth etching in an Oregon dry lake bed.

Air National Guard pilot Bill Miller was the first to report the earth etching during a fly-over on August 10, 1990. The massive formation was a quarter mile in width etched into a dry lake bed east of Steens Mountain about 70 miles southeast of Burns, Oregon in an area known as Mickey Basin. Reported in the wire services on Sept. 14th, it was identified as an ancient Hindu meditation icon.
http://www.labyrinthina.com/sriyantra.htm
Crop circles are geometric patterns that suddenly appear in fields during the night. Some believe that crop circles may be created by acoustic vibration and are believed to be messages from higher intelligences. The geometric shapes are often considered frequency gates. See our related article on the 16-rayed Star Petroglyph in Machu Picchu with similar geometry to the Sri Yantra and based on 16-fold hypercube tesseract physics.
