PROFOUND PATTERNS by Adam Williamson.

Humans have an innate attraction to order and symmetry. We can all relate to patterns, tracing them in our movements, habits, and rituals and the natural world around us. These patterns are all interconnected and manifest everywhere in seen and unseen realms. Working with these forms offers us a tangible connection with a Divine source, and the gradual process of building them is an elevating and profound experience. Out now!

SP The Great Turning.mp4
THE GREAT TURNING: Crop Circles and their Message to Humanity by Michael Green. This extraordinary book, unique in its ambition and scope, delves deep into the mystery of the crop circles which appear every summer in the fertile wheat and barley fields of southern England. Follow leading researcher Michael Green as he tells the story of the crop circles, and uncovers and deciphers the ancient symbols and mandalas encoded in these extraordinary patterns. Be prepared, as the revelations precipitate further questions. Could these glyphs be communications by a Cosmic Intelligence intent on awakening us to the plight of life on planet Earth, and to humanity’s divine origin and its infinite potential? Why do crop circles keep appearing in ever larger numbers? Why do their designs keep evolving? If they are portents of change, can we heed their message in time?

SP UFO.mp4
THE RENDLESHAM FOREST UFO MYSTERY And Project Honey Badger by George Wingfield: On a dark winter’s night in December 1980 two US airmen who were security guards at a USAF base in Suffolk, England, encountered a mysterious unidentified craft with flashing lights that had landed in the forest outside the perimeter. When the story got out, despite a cover-up and official denials, there were many who saw it as clear evidence our planet was being visited by UFOs from outer space. Skeptics who felt sure that must be a false explanation rushed to offer more earthly suggestions, or to insist the story was quite untrue and the airmen were lying. But they weren’t! Years after this strange incident, the actual identity of the “UFO” has become plain and also the purpose for which this weapon was devised. It was needed as a result of an international crisis. Now, author George Wingfield examines the background of these events and also other similar unexplained sightings and encounters with UFOs during that era.
