Last week I had a chance to listen to my friend Steve Wechsler give a presentation to Finger Lakes Dowsers on his trip to Egypt. Steve is a good speaker and the talk was wonderful.
As Steve spoke I remembered my visit to Egypt and the Giza Plateau with its pyramids in 1981. It came after spending two months in Saudi Arabia doing expat tax returns.
I thought back to how I blacked out several minutes while at the pyramids. I went to the Giza Plateau late in the afternoon to avoid the crowds. I was mobbed by people begging--"bakseesh. baksheesh..."
To extract myself from the mini crowd I hired a fellow to take me by horseback around the pyramids. I got on the horse and began riding and the next thing I knew I had gone several hundred yards and had no recollection of what happened in between. I had blacked out and continued to function on the horse.
Back in 1981 I had yet to begin my spiritual quest and to blackout like that spoke to the powerful Earth Energies that must be at the Giza Plateau. At the time I had yet to begin my spiritual quest and it would be years before I knew it was not me, but our Mother's energies that caused my mystical experience.
The presentation included lots of pictures on a projector. Steve said he visited the sarcophagus and had to climb up a narrow tunnel to get to it. He then told how his group took turns sitting in it for several minutes.
I cringed. I would never sit-in, or spend time at, a location thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, or even millions, had sat in over the centuries. We leave an impression, a memory, of our thoughts and being wherever we go. These land memories, or imprints. can become very powerful and affect your health, well-being and even your spiritual development.
Back in n 1994/95 before I had my spiritual awakening and was still married we took a trip to Italy. We were to stay in Rome a few days before heading toe the Amalfi Coast. I suggested we stay in the old section of Rome near the Spanish Steps. Within a few hours of arriving at our hotel I got nauseous and had a headache. Fortunately, it broke after a few hours. In retrospect it was clear that I was affected by all the land memories clinging to the land in the old section of the city. It is because of this why I cringed when Steve told of his experience.
As I was looking at some of the art Steve was showing I got the impression that it was not art that reflected the human condition or to educate; rather it struck me as being gaudy and reflective of a materialistic culture.
My thinking about the pyramids turned. I no longer thought of the builders of the pyramids as some advanced great culture, rather I viewed them as a materialistic, superficial culture. I thought about where I live in an area I call North Star Country because of all the Fields of Consciousness located there, and all the great movements that were launched from it--Birthplace of Democracy/the Women's Movements and religions; home to Harriet Tubman, Fredrick Douglass, Susan B. Anthony and more.
Jesus said you shall know them by their fruits. What are the fruits of those energies on the Giza Plateau? There clearly are powerful Earth Energies at the Pyramids, but they have little spiritual nutrition or consciousness raising to them. They can black you out but not raise your consciousness. When I look to Egypt I see a country ruled by the military and with lots of poor--in my opinion that is not a great civilization.
