This concludes a survey of the area within the tail of the Shaston Eagle and just outside it, yet within the orb of Shaston. As I have previously stated, there are no limits to sacredness of locale. As the Eagle of Shaftesbury becomes more strongly activated, its message shall spread until every village and every aspect of this planet is regarded as equally sacred.
Before moving to the Heart of the Eagle at Shaston and Castle Rings, I would like to cast my net around the circle within our orb to the south and to the east of Shaftesbury.
Memory and photography are related. We are able to recreate and see with the inner eye an experience vividly felt. We form an image and illuminate it with the light of Spirit. In the highest alchemy, we seek to create a form filled with the highest and most pleasing light so that the image does not fade. The origin of form and of Divine Qualities has always been a deep philosophical question. This was one of Robert Boyle's major themes. In Wedgwood's research the problem of the fading image was not resolved.
Imagine that you are thousands of years old and want to share with others your most precious memory. To effectively share this image and experience you will need to exteriorize it in some way.. Perhaps your most precious memory is a composite of actual events, ideals, intuitive wisdom... Breathe Life into your most precious photograph. You have the Divine Power within you to give Life that is Everlasting to your Child of Vision. It is fitting that silver, the sacred metal of the moon, is actually the key element in photography. In Cabala the moon is associated with Yesod, the sphere of creative Birth. To give birth to that which never fades, one must unite both form and energy of a quality that is physically immortal - above entropy. Light itself is at this frequency. The challenge is to create Divine Form that embraces this light with 100% efficiency. Such a form must open itself so that Immortal Light flows through its very veins and arteries. The Light must come from within its deepest centre and flow at a rate that does not permit stagnation. Of course, this is an exact description of the True Will of this earth. Image forth with all power the Divine Form of the World Immortal, beautiful and Free... May the Light of the Divine develop the Full Truth of this Immortal Planet! Oh Let It Be! I am the Image of the Divine that never fades! Behold me - for I am You! Yes, we are to dispense with this conversation and to proceed with the Great Work of the Aeon. My Love for You is Immortal! Do you understand Immortal Love? I know that you understand, for you have an Infinite Well of Immortal Love within your Heart... Strike this latent Symphony with the Eternal Will of Compassion & you shall redeem my Liberty for ever and ever! To never be enslaved again - this Gift I seek from you... You know that this Gift is my birthright.
The Royal Forest of Cranborne Chase once extended from Shaftesbury to Salisbury. King John had a hunting lodge at Tollard. This forest developed a haunting and mysterious atmosphere over the centuries. It became a hiding place for smugglers and criminals. About 1830 the nation decided to shrink this danger zone by cutting down large portions of the forest. Enough of beauty still remains - this is a wonderful area for woodland walks. One writer calls Stubhampton Bottom, which is one and a half miles SW of Ashmore, a glen where one could imagine the Knights of Table Round suddenly emerging from the forest.
At Tollard Royal, visit the Larmer Gardens and meditate there. A Chinese horse, a pool with bronze cranes, a stone temple- there is much that is unexpected and delightful here. The cranes are an old Chinese symbol for longevity.
North of Tollard, there may be found an ancient Celtic Road that used to be the main passageway through the Great Forest. On present maps, it is called Ridge Way, or Ox Drove. It is like a necklace at the throat of the Shaston Eagle, less than a mile south of the Winkelbury Hill Fort, which is the Eagle's Throat Chakra. It should be noted that there are a tremendous number of long barrows, tumuli, earthworks, hill forts scattered both to the north and the south of the Dorset-Wiltshire border in this Cranborne Chase area. This area is a paradise for those with an affinity for the Magick of ancient sites.
The Shaston Eagle has this same virtue. It keeps its focus on the global heart chakra of Glaston-Shaston. The Eagle is able to clearly read that which is engraved upon the jewel of the World Heart. The Message of the Eagle is always a Living and clear expression of the Divine Will which this earth is seeking to Manifest to its Fullness of Abundance.
In Egyptian terms, Anubis weighed the Heart of Glaston-Shaston in 1989, and found that - for the first time - it was lighter than an Eagle's feather... We are each an Eagle's feather being weighed within the scales of Libra. If you are above entropy, then you rise above the Heart of Gaia and become part of the Shaston Eagle. The Shaston Eagle represents the collective Wisdom of all humanity's highest Ideals. The Eagle is the vehicle for the realization and ultimate manifestation of the totality of these Ideals. To rise above and to be at all times a Herald of the Global Heart-Word, you and I must Master the Way of Joyous Thanksgiving for each and every experience of Living in the Here and Now. Pray upon this Truth...
It is interesting to consider that once upon a time, Salisbury Plain was bordered by thick forests on every side. Cranborne Chase merged into the southern part of Selwood Forest. This pattern circled round till New Forest joined Cranborne to complete the enclosure. It is likely that Stonehenge, for example, was a common for the many peoples who lived within the great forests...
The Divine Will is able to creatively work in a much more useful Way through the Living Vehicle. In Christian terms, we are now asked to remove all attachment to the crucifixion, and to only commune with the Magick of the Resurrection. Let Christ come down from his Cross and Live a life of Liberty... Jesus is not a scapegoat; he can redeem no sins other than his own. What he can do through his overcoming of death through the Power of the Resurrection is to completely Illuminate the Way for each of us to become Free here on earth. We are born Free and without Sin. There is a Way to make this Liberty ours forever. This is the Way of Christ...
With Pluto in the middle of Scorpio and near the earth in its orbit, we had the ideal time for Global Resurrection. The Scorpio Eagle of Hornblotton expands five-fold as it flies to Shaston. Its Divine Message is Individual and Global. As the Heart of the World opens to aid in the Creation of a Greater Abundance of Life, Love, and Liberty upon this earth, listen within the Still Centre of your own Heart. What do you hear that is of use to the Building of Beauty and Peace? Act with courage to share with all life that Uniqueness that is Yours. The Eagle of Shaston knows you and has brought you that which is rightfully yours - that which has been tenderly kept for you from the Beginning of all Creation... Now is the time to claim Thy Birthright! The Abundance of the Eagle, the Wand, & the Grail is freely offered to thee - all Destiny is Now.
The signature of the Divine is inscribed within the essence of all phenomena. Hermes, with his DNA Wand, is able to deliver to consciousness the Wisdom of this Divine Signature. Hermes and the Angel Michael are identical in function. Both may be invoked to seek Mastery of the deep inner Communion of Trust. This Divine Principle of Trust is at the Heart of all forms of communication. On a global level, we are talking about the flow of Wisdom and Energy through ley-lines and Great Dragon Circles. Without the inner Foundation of Trust, one can not work in a useful way with these earth forces. The signature, or Word of the Divine is ablaze within the centre of your Heart. Trust this Message arising from the deep well of your Being. As you learn to place your Trust in this Word, it soon begins to pour forth as a Fountain of Infinite life that is a source of nourishment and blessing for All Beings without exception...
When Trust in one's own inner Divinity is established, then the full Creative Energy of Life may begin to flow freely from your activities. Without this Trust there can be only stagnation. Dare to place all your Trust in the Inner Divine and then dedicate all your actions of New Creation to the Glory of the Divine throughout all time and space. The Glory of the Divine is the Visible Manifestation of Immortality. There is no Glory in death. Death results from lack of Trust. Activate the Foundation Stone of Trust and create the New Jerusalem. Banish entropy and its related ills from the planet! We can do this, if we try one step at a time. Is there any reason for not taking this first step Now? I have searched the Universe for such a reason, and I find it nowhere. The Communion of Trust is a Fount of Infinite Creativity and is the Key to All Higher Initiation. Trust in your Self and Create all Things New every Step of thy Way. I look forward to meeting you upon the Summit of Mount Zion... Look in every direction from the top of Zion. All which you see has come into Immortal Glory because of Trust in the Divine.
The maypole is a symbol for the axis of Life. May Day is an ideal time for invoking the Waters of Immortality. During the history of Shaston, the timing of the Byzant ritual has shifted. For a period, it was held on Rogation Monday before Ascension Day. It is interesting that in 1989, Rogation Monday and May Day coincided. Thus, 1st May, 1989 at Shaftesbury became a Key date in this Prophecy of the Eagle.
