Be The Change: Connecting Glastonbury Tor & Miamisburg Mound. May 17th 2009

You must be the change you want to see in the world.

Glastonbury Tor & Miamisburg Mound


Early in 2008 Tammie Stair http://www.tammiestair.com/ told me that while she was at Miamisburg Mound she had had a vision of the tower on the top of Glastonbury Tor. She feels they are sister mounds. We decided that it might be a really great experience if we worked with groups in the UK and USA to connect the two sites energetically. It took a while for the time to be right be finally we got it together at the weekend.

I was with a group from the Beloved Community, led by James Twyman (who were on retreat in Glastonbury at the time) and Tammie was with her group in Ohio. Tammie and I spoke on the phone before hand and decided on what we would do on the day. The plan was to be on top of our respective sites at 15.30 hrs UK time which is 10.30 hrs for Tammie. Both of us would begin by connecting with the elements and the Divine in our own ways.

We would then read The Song of Mother Divine http://www.findhornpress.co.uk/ http://www.suesaraswati.com/ and follow this up with a 20 minute silent meditation. Tammie planned to finish by playing a recording of Jame's Twyman's song "Be The Change". Jimmy agreed to sing it live for our group. Well that was the plan...... but as I said at the time: if you want to make god laugh, tell her your plans!


Glastonbury
Jimmy organised it so that the group would first visit the Chalice Well at Glastonbury http://www.chalicewell.org.uk/ and then would carry on to the Tor to be at the top and ready to go for 3.30pm. The weather was grey, chilly, wet and windy. I had been up to the Tor the day before and knew that whatever the weather in the town, you need to multiply it by a factor of 10 to know what it will be like at the top of the Tor. It can be wild up there. So I was wondering how we were going to deal with whatever nature was planning to throw at us.

Jimmy led us off to the Tor a little early I thought, it was only around 2.00pm. But I supposed he had some plan in mind and anyway he was way ahead of me, up at the front of the group. So I plodded along at the back chatting to Beloved Craig who I hadn't seen for ages and who had joined us just for this peace connection.
By the time I got to the top of the Tor it was around 2.35pm and the wind was whipping and howling around us. It was difficult to keep on your feet and made worse by the ridiculously large amount of cow-dung underfoot. Where had all that come from? .... Well, yes I know where ... but what I mean is, it was as if every cow in the West Country had recently been up there with some sort of bovine coach-party. One of the Beloveds went flying and had to be helped back to her feet and the rest of us were clinging to each other in order to avoid the same fate. I was really wondering how we could hang on until 3.30 and then some. Then Jimmy looked at me expectantly and asked me what I wanted to do? Errr..... OK. What exactly ....? Err .... ? I thought he had something up his sleeve for the next 50 minutes ... So it transpired that Jimmy was one hour ahead of the rest of us. In other words he thought we were late, that it was 3.40. Oh dear. "Why didn't someone tell me?" He asked. "Well we all thought you had a plan Jimmy..."

I'd just like to point out that this photograph was taken by me in gale-force winds and at great personal risk. The group are standing in the only sheltered spot at the top of the Tor.
So what to do now? It was perfectly obvious that 25 + people could not stand huddled together in that same spot for another hour or so. Jimmy decided to make our part of the connection right then and spontanously spoke about that, acknowledging all the groups and individuals that would be joining us as well as Tammie's group. He gave us a quick acapella rendition of "Be The Change" and asked everyone to keep their hearts open for the connection and to be aware, wherever they were at 3.30pm. Then a very bedraggled group began to disperse back down the Tor. It was now around 2.55pm.



See, we really were there, all of us... and one other person.
I thought perhaps I might return to Abbey House, where the Beloveds were on retreat and where they had built a beautiful Emissary Wheel. I thought I might sit around the wheel at 3.30pm (in the warm and dry!) and visualise us on top of the Tor and perform the ceremony Tammie and I had agreed upon. However I had not reckoned on the tenacity of some of the Beloveds! They would not hear of such a sissy old cop-out. At the top they were and at the top they would stay until the agreed time and weather do your worst - which, obligingly it did.
So in the end 10 of us stayed, complete stars all. After a brief excursion to see the egg stone on the side of the Tor we battled through heavy, horizontal rain, back to the tower to wait for exactly 3.30. By now I was soaked to the skin and we were huddling together like moorland sheep. It was really too wet to take out my camera but I managed to get a quick snap of Beloved Ingrid, as she was snapping us: how those umbrellas were staying up I cannot fathom


Finally it was about 3.29 and the rain was stopping. Across the Somerset levels we could see bright weather, sun even, as the cloud retreated. Beloved John held a brolly over me and two others held onto a copy of the Emissary Wheel (laminated fortunately) that I had in my bag. We huddled together and I began with some opening mantras. I then managed to hold a copy of the book The Song of Mother Divine in my freezing hands and I began to read. Quite spontaneously, and very beautifully, the Beloveds began to join in so that each time I read a statement they chipped in with "I am loved" and then they repeated closing statements after me. It really was beyond beautiful, I can't really find the words ...


We stood for a while in silent meditation, the energy was incredibly powerful, Beloved Craig later described how he had a joyful, humming feeling in his heart chakra. Despite the cold and the wind I could have stood there for ages. Then John's umbrella blew inside out and he sort of flew backwards which seemed to bring our meditation to a natural conclusion! I chanted some closing prayers and then other Beloveds chipped in with various prayers. We had the Lord's prayer in Aramaic (which is completely different from the Lord's Prayer we are all familiar with) we also had the Peace Prayers and a beautiful prayer led by Craig. I stood with my hand over my heart basking in the beautiful energy. It's amazing that it was so powerful given the battle we were having with the wind.

You've heard of the expression "Warriors of the Light"? Well this is the Marine Corps. These guys are tough!
We descended the Tor via the rear path. The sun was now shining and the wind dropping. Soon we were out of the wind entirely. Beloved Ella called to me to stop. We all stood and basked in the extraordinary feeling of peace that now surrounded us - it really was special. It felt to me as if something had descended upon us. The fields around us were vibrant green and the buttercups were ridiculously yellow, like a Van Gough painting. For the first time we could hear birds singing, it was as if we had stepped into the Garden of Eden itself.

Miamisburg
Tammie's group were in place on time. It was windy but sunny... how nice for them ;0)
They did have their own challenges but I'll leave Tammie to tell that story herself.
I spoke with Tammie on the phone on Tuesday and she told me that the connection was the most powerful experience of her life. One of her group - a very experienced lightworker - said that it was the purest Divine Feminine energy she had ever experienced, including Machu Picchu. So I have decided simply to post below all the feedback that I received from Tammie:

" WOW !!! The experiences from this connection have exceeded my wildest expectations. As we called in the directions and the Elements you could strongly feel the presence of energies being invited to join our circle. This was the third time that I have been led to read Mother Divine at this sacred site. The words seem to resonate with the vibration of the mound .Much has happened on the Miamisburg land ,especially to our Native American brothers and sisters.The mound carries the resonance of the Divine Feminine, nurturing Love. Through all that has transpired there, it is Love. Then we meditated and imagined merging the mounds, just feeling the connection with the Beloved community to be the change, that we want to see in the world.


I`ll share my personal experience of Peace with You. Right away I saw the grid ley lines lighting up as one sacred portal led to another and they branched out until the grid was golden.Then I grounded into the core of the earth and intended for my roots to travel to the Tor.It looked like I was in a kaliedescope of colors with elementals of many types zipping all around and some of the trees were ornate with golden entrances .It was like a celebration was going on....At one point I was sitting on a white horse looking out over the mist at the merging of the hillsides.The two became one so naturally and effortlessly.I saw three aspects of myself that no longer serve me climb aboard a small ship and sail away into the ethers. I feel like I had a nice healing and opening up of the throat chakra.We closed by holding hands and joining hearts and taking in the song "Be The Change" by James Twyman .I am Grateful and humbled by this experience......Love," Tammie


"I was privileged to be a part of the Peace Connection Experience on Sunday, May 17, 2009, to connect the sacred mound at Miamisburg, Ohio to Glastonbury Tor in UK. As part of my meditation, I asked spirit to give me a message about the meaning of these beautiful mounds and here is the answer that I got:

The mounds were constructed to focus energy in certain places on earth; to connect the grids of energy to each other so a communication could be established on the inner planes. There is an electromagnetic frequency specific to each earth mound that identifies its location and its specific purpose. Each mound has its own resonance and as they connect one to another a magnificent symphony of tones is produced through which that, if one is attuned to receive these tones, messages are transmitted; information from the higher realms is readily available if one is able to attune to the specific frequency. Humans are evolving to the point of being able to discern what messages are being transmitted. This higher frequency can only be received through specific attunement given only to those who are living through love."

"The meditation with Tor and Miamisburg’s Mound I saw an infinite amount of fairies and daisies. As I connected with the 2 mounds I felt myself spinning out into space above the earth connecting with the planet and her energy. All day long I felt the strong connected energy and even lay awake that night pulsating with streaming energy.
I felt a healing and shift with my digestive system and my throat charka and sensed a downloading of healing information on the mound. I also saw Merlin on the steps of the tower. Light and Love," Helen

"Thank you for inviting me to experience the wonderful mound merging energies.That was an experience i won't soon forget.the peace and tranquility, the comfort and blessings I felt were phenomenal.Knowing Kwan Yin was there, feeling her presence... the smell of fresh flowers...I've been riding that wave for a coupla days!!Thanx again, Tammie... and to ALL who were present with us!! " Beve

"I had a great sense of peace while meditating at the mound I envisioned stone steps going up a rown stone tower..just peace, warm comforting peace"
