Here's a letter from a student of mine:
I would like to share my crop circle experience with you. Recently on July 1 or 2, mysterious crop circles appeared in a wheat field in Rockville, California, a small agricultural town near Fairfield which is about 45 miles from San Francisco off of Interstate 80 going north fron San Francisco. On July 4, my wife, three of my sisters, a nephew, grandson, and I went on a family outing to Sacramento with other relatives and friends. On the way back to San Francisco we stopped at the crop circles. I am notorious for getting lost, however on this occasion we arrived at the destination without getting lost once. I must admit that there was some apprehension about encountering no trespassing signs, fences, gates with huge locks or other obstacles. Nothing of the sort appeared, the circles were in a wheat field without a fence directly across the highway from an active church and an old church building that is being used as Japanese social club. Both of these facilities had huge parking lots directly across the highway from the wheat field. we parked and went into the wheat field. I proceeded to the largest circle and sat down in the center to pray and meditate. Immediately, I felt a surge of positive energy that was overwhelming. Actually, I had a slight toothache that had been causing me minor discomfort all day. It instantly disappeared. I had told everyone in my car that I would meditate for about five or ten minutes. ...my wife, said that I was there meditating for 15 or 20 minutes. anyway, it was a very blissful, serene, and spiritual experience. Once I stopped meditating, we formed a prayer circle in the center of the circle and prayed. One of my sisters pointed out that a perfect circle had appeared in the sky of swirling clouds directly overhead. Once we completed the prayers the circle in the sky disappeared. On leaving I decided to take some of the wheat that was not in the circle with me. It was very difficult to pull up, therefore, I started to get wheat out of the circle. It was disconnected and very easy to pick up. The experience was very rewarding in the sense that I can still feel the positive energy that is in part motivating me to write and share. There is a lot of information on the Internet about crop circles plus many beautiful pictures. If you are near the circles I suggest you stop by and investigate.More articles here, plus a Reuters photo; Google has more. Posted by the wily filipino at July 6, 2003 08:26 PM
