CONNECTING TO ENERGY
Just as there are places in the world where high energies gather, so there are places where lower energies congregate. They live in these locations due to crimes committed in the past, due to wars fought or battles waged—all because of human activity originating from the lower levels of energies within the astral light.
You could refer to them as energy worlds scars—haunted houses, for example, where people see ghosts or hear noises and moans that cannot be attributed to the living. There are castles and palaces, battlefields and church cemeteries where the dead speak to those who are sensitive and able to understand their language or see images that others cannot.
At St. Mark’s Church In-The-Bowery in New York City, for example, many people have heard a repetitive thump which is believed to be the sound of Peter Stuyvesant’s wooden leg as he roams the church many years after his death. Peter Stuyvesant, the last director-general of the colony of New Netherland which later became New York, was buried in a crypt underneath the church in 1672. He had lost his leg in 1644 when he led an attack on the Island of Saint Martin, which was then held by the Spanish.
In Chichen Itza in Mexico, at the site of the ancient pyramid, observatory, temples and other constructions, there are both high and low energies which can be detected and felt. It was originally a place of meditation, learning and spiritual ceremonies, where the ancient Mayans could observe the movement of the planets and the stars in the ancient observatory. However, later it became the site of human sacrifice, after the Aztecs and the Toltecs took over the site. If you have the opportunity to visit this place, your guide might ask you how you are caused to feel in particular parts of the site and whether some areas make you feel happy and relaxed, while others make you feel sad.
When visiting X’ian in China, I was invited to go to the mausoleum created by Emperor Qin Shi Huang, the same ruler who had created the famous terra-cotta army which has been seen in exhibits by millions of people all over the world as it travelled throughout Europe and North America. What is perhaps not so well known is that the terra-cotta army was designed to accompany the emperor on his journey to heaven where he could conquer and consequently rule in the celestial mansion. Once the construction of the terra-cotta army was finished, those who designed and sculpted it were killed and the army remained buried until it was discovered in a field in 1974.
The terra-cotta soldiers are known by many, but what is not so well known is that Emperor Qin Shi Huang also built a mausoleum to himself at another location where he buried hundreds of clay and wooden figures as well as many clay representations of cows, sheep, pigs, dogs and other animals, so that they could accompany him into the next world. When I visited this site there were very few people there, the lights were kept low, and the atmosphere of the place had an eerie feel to it. After being there for a while—the site is large with several pits full of figures that one can observe from above, walking along glass sheets covering the trenches—I suddenly felt a pain in my jaws and then a pressure on my chest. I thought I was having a heart attack and that I was surely going to die. Breathing became shallow and difficult and I had to get out of there. I prayed not to die in a foreign location and to be allowed to get home to die in my own bed. As I emerged from the mausoleum into the sunlight I was still struggling to catch my breath. I asked the driver who had brought me there to take me to the airport. I do not know whether he felt anything, but he seemed in a hurry to leave me beside the terminal entrance, throwing my coat on the ground and quickly driving away.
I somehow managed to check in and get through security, after which I bought a cup of tea, sat down and continued to pray. I then remembered that the guide had told me that when Emperor Qin Shi Huang died, he had many of his concubines buried alive with him. If they were gagged and then earth thrown onto their bodies, they likely would have felt a pain similar to the pain I had just experienced. I believe I had connected to an energetic trace of the women’s pain which still remains on the site of their last resting place.
As I realized what was happening to me, I felt a surge of energy that was healing and reassuring in its nature. The pain was lifted from me and I felt a great sense of wellbeing, as if I was being healed, supported and embraced by a universal entity. I thanked the healing “angel” and was soon on my way home.
