Crop circles and ETs: Archetypal aspects of transformation? November 25, 2006
Posted by bodhidude in : Transformation , trackbackI’ve recently been considering the phenomenon of crop circles in the larger context of this time of transformation that we find ourselves in. I’ve always considered them an interesting curiosity because I couldn’t accept that it was solely a human creation and I also couldn’t accept that somehow alien spacecraft were coming down and leaving their galactic signature either. I guess at this point I’m more of the impression that these things are an expression of planetary consciousness or archetypal symbols emanating from the collective unconscious of the planet. To me it cannot be a coincidence that these things began appearing as we approach a turning point in planetary history. I’m really starting to see them more and more as external emanations of the process of transformation we’re in. From that point of view I think they may speak to us at a deep level and are potentially activating unconscious aspects of our consciousness that we are needing to embody going forward into a new way of existing. It may be helpful to contemplate them in this way with an open mind and see what they stir up and evoke for us. The mainstream resistance to taking them seriously is also illuminating as we see the old ways of thinking resist and deny anything that threatens their dominance and rigid grasp at existence.
For a long time I’ve also considered the standard image of the ET to be an archetypal figure projecting itself from the collective unconscious to give voice to our search for larger meaning. The commonality of the ET experience across cultures whether it be UFO sightings or the description of aliens themselves is indicative of an archetypal pattern. We live in a culture that has lost its connection with the spirit and with the deeper meaning that comes from a healthy relationship with consciousness. So it seems understandable that we generate such projections as we continue to repress our inner nature and wrap ourselves ever tighter in materialism and the physical plane. It is certainly interesting to look at what plays out with these and other such phenomena as we move forward and become more activated at a deeper level………
