Since February 1998 the Earth has accelerated her cycles of change. We people of the Earth - and - universe are also urged to accelerate our own processes of change. The purpose of my work is to help along both avenues of change. I try to provide useful insights into the cycles of change, and create possibilities for fellow human beings to become creative interactors with the flow of Earth changes.
Exactly seven years after we became conscious of the Earth transmutation process, three catastrophes broke out simultaneously that shocked the Earth, Nature, and Humanity. On the coasts of New Zealand whales committed mass-suicide, Texas got covered with a thick snow layer and the coasts of the Indian Ocean were devastated by the earthquake waves. Hundreds of thousands of people were pulled into disaster. All this happened on the day after Christmas. Christmas represents the day when the dark half of the year turns around to become the light half. According to the holographic language it means that the three catastrophes are pointing out the new path towards light - meaning that the path towards light will lead us, during the following cycle, through the urgently needed changes of the Earth, manifesting on the material level. How is it possible to understand and to accept the cataclysmic kind of Earth Changes as a path towards light? Is it possible to achieve that this path would demand less nature's and human sacrifice?

During the last seven years a new Earth space was prepared at the etheric level. That cycle of the Earth's transmutation is over. At present we are confronted with a new cycle with the characteristics of breaking up the physical body of the planet. The lid of the one-sided mentality, that human beings since millennia are projecting upon the multidimensional body of the Earth, has to break up on certain places. This makes "cracks" in the one-dimensional space structure to appear, through which the new pattern of multidimensional reality can start to manifest. What outwardly appears as a wound can be perceived from inside as an act of liberation and renewal.

Many people sacrificed their lives during the last days, so that the path of transmutation that the planet is walking at present, could lead towards success. We on the other side of the globe are so happy to continue enjoying life. This fact provokes us to give our contribution to the process of the Earth's renewal on the level of consciousness. There are different possibilities. One could be:

A minute for the Being Earth

The proposal is that everyone of us would - in one's own way - dedicate one minute of one's loving attention per day to the being of the Earth. In this way a permanent conscious contact would be maintained towards the living essence of the Earth. As a consequence there would be a possibility offered to her, to use our consciousness as a channel for change, in order to get the changes on the physical level to run more smoothly. The pressure upon the material level of existence would lessen. Love makes miracles.
We give a proposal how to create "the minute", so that the common goal of the project does not get lost:

Take part in the changes concerning the material body of the Earth via your heart.

.Decide for a certain expression of the Earth, be it a tiny plant, a tree in vicinity, a stone, a mountain... Be creative, choose daily a different phenomenon, or answer to an unexpected call. Or listen to your own organism. All these are holographic aspects (fractals) of the Earth's totality, that enable us to reach the attention of the Being Earth itself.

· Dedicate yourself one minute long to the chosen expression of the Earth's variability. The precondition is, that you transcend the level of appearance with the help of your heart emotion, to touch the Earth itself inwardly.

· Stay for a while in contact with the Being Earth. Finally one can ask oneself, what is new regarding the chosen phenomena that appeared only by touching the essence of the Earth. What happened with you during this minute?

LITHOPUNCTURE CIRCLES

A manifesto

Discovery of lithopuncture

Lithopuncture is a method of ecological healing, through which positioning of stones on acupuncture points of the given landscape is combined with the language of cosmogrammes, and the holistic awareness of the Earth cosmos.

The purpose to develop lithopuncture was primarily, to have at disposal a method through which it would be possible:
· to heal problems of a place, a landscape, or a city on the etheric, emotional, and soul levels
· to bring to public awareness the fact, that there are subtle levels in the environment, which are of decisive importance for the life quality of a place, even if they are not recognised by the modern science.

Next step: Lithopuncture Circles

During the last years many of us have discovered that Earth is changing on its subtle levels. We agree that the Earth changes, that we perceive, represent a self-healing process of a planet endangered by environmental destruction and ongoing warfare in politics, in economy, among the sexes, etc. We believe that entering a process of change, the Earth is offering an alternative to cataclysms, as the traditionally anticipated way of her transformation.

Our intuition says, that this alternative is possible only if human beings are ready to collaborate. The holistic movements, those creating the culture of peace, those working towards a new paradigm etc. are all supporting the change in a relevant way. Yet we feel that also a conscious collaboration with the Earth transformation process itself is needed. It needs also to bring our human contribution into this development, to become co-creators of the new Earth cosmos.

This is the purpose why a few years ago we created a network called "Life Web: Geomancy and Transformation", why we are developing Healing Biotopes like Tamera. This is also the purpose, why we intend to build Lithopuncture Circles.

Creating Lithopuncture Circles we intend to use the knowledge gained while developing lithopuncture, including the knowledge how a work of this kind can be integrated into society. And yet we intend to create something new.

What is the purpose of lithopuncture circles?

During the first phase of Earth changes (1997-2003) the subtle body of a "new Earth" was prepared. It is too subtle to be perceived by people who are not trained in conscious deep perception. Thus its influence on the body of human civilisation is minimal. To increase its influence and thus to stimulate the overall transformation process (we do not need more wars and more environmental destruction), ways should be found to ground the new subtle body of the Earth cosmos. Ways should be found to bring the new space closer to form, i.e. closer to the day-to-day reality.

Through creating Lithopuncture Circles it is possible to create a catalyst, that would help the fine new qualities to proceed on their path of manifestation. Before the new civilisation can take on proper forms, an intermediary step is needed, which can be provided by Lithopuncture Circles and by the communities of people who work on their erection.

The knowledge, how to create a Lithopuncture Circle is partly derived from study of the ancient stone circles. Some of them were created as libraries of the universal peace knowledge, that can nowadays serve as a source of inspiration concerning the blue-print of change. Attuning to the ancient stone circles, we specially are searching for the information, that at that time was stored for the future; their future being identical with our present.

The process of building is not less important as a Lithopuncture Circle itself. The human race is perpetually hurting universal laws, which is generating violence between human beings and nature, as well as among ourselves. By building Lithopuncture Circles, we search for the cosmic patterns that underlay the universal community of life. The knowledge thus gained will help in turn to establish patterns of peace within ourselves and in our environment.

Building Lithopuncture Circles, means building cosmogrammes and sociogrammes of the new planetary culture. Within the Circles initiation in holistic awareness can take place. Insights into the secrets of personal development can be obtained. New models of community and communication can be developed. Rituals of healing the distorted relationships between nations, religions, cultures can be performed, and also rituals of communion between human beings and nature.

Lithopuncture circle process

Lithopuncture Circle is a composition of stones with carved cosmogrammes and following characteristics:
1. The place for the Circle was chosen according to its geomantic characteristics that ensure the proper functioning of the circle.
2. The preparation process is a vital part of a Lithopuncture Circle. It runs through a longer period in which the participants teach and learn the basics of geomantic approach to the Earth organism, widened perception, the language of cosmogrammes and the skill of stone carving.
3. The cosmogrammes developed and carved by participants should relate to the whole matrix of life, including different nature kingdoms, the elemental, spiritual and angelic worlds, to social, political and environmental issues important for the given place, etc. They can also anchor the relationship of the Lithopuncture Circle to some chosen places.
4. Once erected, a Lithopuncture Circle could be a place for group rituals, for individual vision quest or meditation and for networking.

Pogacnik - From Sculpture to Therapeutic Work

By Ludmila Panakova

"The Earth is so strong that it could put everything in order in two seconds. But it does not want to, it loves us as we are."

Today I would like to introduce perhaps the only European dealing with something unique - lithopuncture. It is basically a variation of acupuncture. Balancing the forces of yin and yang within a person`s body with the aid of small needles if you will, it can be done with the Earth as well. Of course with somewhat larger needles - stones. Those `simple` yet therapeutic Chinese methods were once read by Marko Pogacnik {born 1944}, originally from Slovenia near the border with Italy, he devoted his time to them and tried to enrich them. He introduced his own stylings into it, and gradually gained recognition throughout western Europe. With the use of lithopuncture and other methods, he heals localities, towns, and entire regions. He works out a plan to change that place or town, for it to bloom and give off the yin and yang energy to all things living. He has not revitalized anything in Slovakia so far, he comes only by invitation. For him to take such a step here {I know of a few who would wish for it}, his method must first get into the ears of the people. That is why I am writing about it. Last year he visited Prague for the second time. As part of his Prague project, he gave a seminar on "How to cooperate with the earthly universe". I will relate something about that, as well as lithopuncture itself and Earth healing methods, by way of his book "Paths to healing the Earth" and Jana Bohdanova, who attended the Prague seminar.

"Our life, as well as the life of planet Earth, has been disturbed. An Earth therapy would mean to accept responsibility for what we have done and the results of our `untuned` actions", says Pogacik, who in the revitalization of Earth, places great emphasis on a change in human consciousness. All negative emotions - anger, envy, hatred and such - have a very unpleasant impact on the fragile or barely tangible structures of the country. His seminars are therefore devoted to instructions in exercises which lead toward the inner cleansing of the individual. One method we have already developed - ecology. It is something like medicine for the physical body. But the problems begin much deeper - now I am talking about us - on the physical body, only a manifestation appears. Ecological problems are also an analogy. If we could manage them, we could halt the harmful tendencies. That means that there are causes in the intangible - in the vital-energy or in the emotional, in areas of the consciousness or spiritual regions. Now I speak of nature and the world which are here right now. As we know, nature is in a very precarious state, with a disturbed balance, it is blocked, beset with various traumas - a battle has been waged for years. We should develop methods, and there are many of them, to break down the problems which we have created for the Earth and for ourselves." Marko says - as do many smart people - that a personal transformation is the basis to healing the planet.

Nobody can make the excuse that they know nothing of the secrets of Earth therapy.
"Every human being has been made as an individual and complete microcosm. Within the human organism are manifested `in small form`, the same spatial dimensions which may be seen `in large form` within a country." Now this may seem unpleasantly scientific, so bear with me for a moment: "Acupuncture meridians are structured dimensions which appear within the microcosm of the individual as delicate lines of strength, marked as vital-energy centers, the `organs` of the land reflect this system of chakra. The presence of an astral or emotional level within the individual is no less noticeable than for the planet Earth itself. In these surprising similarities between earthly systems and that of a human being, it can appear both tragic, or as the most hopeful point in striving to heal the Earth. To simplify - The Earth is suffering and it is due to the intimate problems of the people on it, about whom we think do not involve anyone else except us personally. This is not to mention the destruction we cause through unresolved problems, both individual and collective, which we broadcast out into the country and its ecological make up. The macrocosm-microcosm relationship between Earth and the individual does however hide a glimmer of hope, one which is needed in this critical moment of our evolution and must be activated without delay. "How to implement this. "If more and more people come to terms with their inner silence in correlation with their true self, thanks to this, a curative power will inevitably appear within the living systems of the planet. A stimulation will occur in the processes of terrestrial healing even though this direction does not require special measures. This process of reverse action, taking place with mathematical precision and coming from the law of macro-microcosmic resonation, is the reason why I am convinced that the striving and personal process of transformation will be the most important contribution to the regeneration of Earth. It is also the most democratic contribution: Nobody can make the excuse that they know nothing of the secrets of Earth therapy. It has to do with who gets along with their own bodies, thoughts, and emotions. No one may rid themselves of responsibility to life as a whole, and at the same time, all may add to the healing of Earth in their own individual manner."

Of course the points made by Pogacnik are more detailed, also from personal experience, and collected from his books which were published here in Slovakia. I will not detail them here, rather try to introduce in great- short form something which you may not have heard of to this point, or not considered. Choose your `path` alone. Let us not forget what Pogacnik advises: "Get to work on the new-discovery of your sensibility before, thanks to your ignorance and not recognizing the fragility of reality, we destroy the basis of life on Earth." How to deepen sensibility? "Most of all, to not delay or deem things as `chance`, even the nonsensical experiences which the mind has a hard time to classify. The opposite is the case, the mind should be able to - as long as the inner feelings can help confirm - and devote special attention to them. Second of all - there exists a range of perceptions by means of the reactions of our own bodies to invisible phenomena. The third possibility to perceive invisible realities, is offered by the astral or emotional level - impressions, visions, and dreams. And then there is intuition."

The Earth is getting out of its old skin

"At his lecture in Prague, Pognacik spoke mainly of his own perception of the changes in Earth, which have been taking place after cosmic occurrences over the last years and months", said Jana. "First he emphasized that Earth - as an individual - develops and changes. From the viewpoint of Earth - in order for it to continue developing, it must destroy its body and create a new one. According to him, we people are original cosmic beings and must decide whether we are to cooperate with the Earth or not. At present, people do not understand their role. In spite of this, there are more and more people willing to share and partake in the changes. That is why foretold catastrophes do not happen - or rather not physically, but `only` on an energy level. It is not possible for all to find the shared feeling at once. First there are a few, and then more, and then a quantum leap. It is not about only healing the Earth, but the quality of the change. What is good for the planet is good for the people on it.

Marko says that Earth is getting out of its old skin. Its frequency has settled on a new vibration without anything visible on the outer, visible world. He himself was caught with by a fit of panic at first, because everything which he had been working on for years had come to ruin. Later, signals appeared, causing him to be cautious and follow everything carefully. He tuned into the new energy, and discovered that a New Earth had come into being. The Earth had split into old and new. Both are still quite close, so it is hard to tell the difference. So now we live on two Earths and we are like someone sitting on two chairs which are near to each other. Yet if they move apart from each other, the entire system would collapse. To stay on the old Earth would mean to become extinct with it. What is old is on one plane, and the new frequencies are on a different level. Eventually the distance between old and new will be so great that we will not be able to stand on both at once. To stay on the old Earth means to have less strength for real life and becoming extinct. We are tuned in to old quality and therefore stay on the old level. This is only for people who fight against the process. Nature is going with the new Earth. The role of people who want to be part of the transformation, is to work with the old forces and thoughts in such a way so as to enable a transformation of the old Earth into a new planet. We should attempt a union of formative strengths of the new Earth, while the ideal unifying force is the heart of the center. Marko noticed, that over the last two years, a new and deeper level of heart energy which he symbolically named the blue heart. It manifests itself though the elementary level of Earth with the spiritual level of the heart, and appears in the land as a heart axis. It seems that one of the problems of the people of today is that we are so firmly stuck to the old attitudes, that the strong areas which are important for the energy system of the planet, are overextended by traumas. We must cleanse and heal those areas so they can be freed, and the elementary beings can continue along on their path. Nature suffers a great deal from this emotional overwork. In places blocked by traumas, there are often trapped beings which are unable to go with the new world. With this in mind, Marko employs exercises by which one can tune in to the new world - mainly tuning in to the plants as nature has done. He says that when we look upon nice flowers, we should not see only their beautiful shapes, but also through elementary beings shall we arrive at the `new`.

How to do it?

Pogacnik compares damaged areas to spiders, who suck the energy out of the surrounding area rather than giving it. He calls them `ray` centers and compares them to the chakra source of life force for the human organism. In the town of Bern he found such a center and said: "The result of the ugly inversion of this center is a reality, the town as a whole is in a vibrating fog and asleep from an energy standpoint.” In the center of Berlin he registered an unhealthy urban development and the mass murder of innocent people. “The killing of innocent people, as one of the worst causes of destruction on an energetic and spiritual level, I have encountered in many places all around Europe. The far-reaching consequences of such bloodletting can be understood better, if we realize that the heart system is an anchoring of the godly identity of the individual. Murder is aggression against the holy core of the person, and by that, the Earth as well. A given place is shamed by the result of its actions, and inverts and crashes within its own structure. The Earth, and therefore all places within their regional organisms, is interwoven not only with life force, but with its consciousness as well. In other words: The ethereal level of each place fills out the astral level. That creates the consciousness of the area and is the most sensitive towards the emotional and spiritual strain of attack. A shock in the astral plane in these cases, inescapably extends to the lower ethereal-strength level and causes a cramping kind of retraction, in the worst cases, a crippling of its natural life function.”

Aggression in the yang forces destroys the life forces of Earth

Similarly inglorious may be the barriers - a certain part of the country is flooded with yin energy, while it has been taken from the other areas or is flowing in a very limited amount. Pogacnik does not say that everything negative is bad, only that what has harmful effects in real life may be an overabundance of yin or yang forces shaped by the human hand. Nevertheless, it has to be put in order. On the problem of barriers he adds: “The artificial prevalence of the female energy /yin/ in a country is, in reality, the mirror image of the aggressive male energy which is the motor of the civilization of today. The mind is given the power to decide what should be most beneficial for the needs of the people. The result of considerations with a cool head is changed into action, but not considerd is the imbalance or destruction at the almost intangible levels of the country, which such a move would bring forth. The laws of these fragile planes are not noticed within the public awareness, and therefore, nobody thinks about their protection. The aggression of the human yang force, which threatens the emotional tissue of Earth`s life energy, can be found in its ripest form in the great cities of the world. Sometimes in the construction of a huge highway, when one often wonders how life could ever breathe in such a place. "Pogacnik does not criticize, only states: "Building cities, along with other developments of civilization, I judge to be part of culture, and along with man, it is welcome on this planet. For what are we here for if not to create and learn from it? I see the problem where the balance within culture itself has been lost, and with this the feeling for the intangible, the life quality dimensions of Earth.” Let me add that women have a great role before them. They have to understand how they are being manipulated by the male forces and how they must reawaken their soft energy. If not there will be an overwhelming male imbalance which destroys everything.

A region which is fighting for survival is supposedly the German city of Koln on the Rhine. “According to the state of its intangible life resources, it is hardly able to resist the process of disintegration, because all energy organisms for vitality are threatened to the greatest extent. It has to be recognized that the reality of a town is being successful in terms of culture, society and economy - the case in Koln - does not say anything of the state of its regional organism, and that is where a town develops. It is proof that our measurements are selfishly given to human needs and the needs of our partner Earth are skipped over.” Pogacnik spoke more about that place from the viewpoint of its yin and yang, and about shocking actions from the past… Then he spoke of the connections between cities and called them lines of energy, and touched on the damage of disruptions. A disturbance depends on the state and cleanliness of the country.

In conclusion for healing the Earth he warned: “Destructive forces result from the individual. If their mission is to show the truth, so that we know the consequences of our actions, then every fight against destructive forces is pointless. It is more about changing our attitude to the Earth, nature, and country, and not to do battle with forces which only set up a mirror for us. A fight against anything which rightfully exists, creates the counter-effect of it reacting stronger, until we finally understand that we ourselves are the originators of what is bad.”

As for Sensei he said: “Nature makes no difference between the good and the evil, but it destroys that which is unnatural with all of its strength.”
