I have always been fascinated by orbs ever since I got to hear about them and see them on photos. For me they are a mystery that is waiting to be uncovered, so we can get more answers about our existence. It could be my imagination, but it seems to me that we get more contact with orbs than we used to. I believe it has to do with our fast growing consciousness, which opens up our openness and willingness to acknowledge them. But why are they here and what is their message? As it happens I was in Glastonbury this summer when the Glastonbury Symposium took place. This symposium is about earth mysteries like crop circles, orbs and more. Speakers and researchers from all over the world come here to present their findings. I was especially interested in a talk by a couple who had done their own research into orbs and written a book about it, called Beyond Photography.
Katie Hall and John Pickering live in the Lake District; Katie is an artist and John is a designer and cartoonist. Years ago they had never even heard of orbs, so when they got to encounter them by chance, they had no idea how this would change their lives. Their house is located in woodlands and is part of a 19th century mansion. That is where they have taken most of their pictures and where it all started.
Katie: “For me it started of with little twinkling lights back in 1998, in the dark time of winter and I was quite depressed. I reached out to the universe and asked for help. I asked with my heart and soul: please help to direct me, because I am lost. The help came in the form of little twinkling lights that I saw everywhere, around people’s heads and in my work. I literally thought that I had a braintumor, I got some medical advice, but everything was perfectly all right. I was asking questions to people, but no one could give me an answer and they thought I was creating this myself. O ver the years I got more involved with healing and went to a seminar where I spoke to a Tai Chi practitioner and he knew exactly what I was talking about. I was advised to go with it and not to deflect it and see where it leads. Then after 4 years I finally took a photograph of the twinkling lights and made the connection to basically another life form which was interactive. We started to take hundreds of photographs because we were fascinated. After four more years, friends and relatives said that the photographs we got were so amazing that we needed to put them down in a book and so we did”.

The photos in the book are definitely amazing and they do not only show orbs, but also strange light beings and even fairy like shapes. It seemed as they progressed in the years, the images would become even stranger and almost unbelievable. It was like the veils to the other dimensions were starting to open more for them and it reminded me of another book I had read, Dimensional Journey. In this book Linda Ball describes her experiences with orbs and alien beings. She was living on a ranch near Sedona where she had taken the most amazing photographs of orbs and alien beings. Just like Katie and John, her pictures evolved from orbs to other alien lights and even a giant being. It made me think that there had to be some sort of evolving in vibration. Maybe the contact with the orbs raised their frequency or vibration in way that other dimensions were getting to be visible and accessible. But before I get carried away, let’s go back to the beginning: what is an orb?
Orbs are the so called balls of light, which apparently become visible when you take a picture.Cameras are now able to pick up more of the light spectrum than we can normally see with our naked eye and that can be a reason that they show more easily on pictures. Orbs are believed by many to be life forms. There is an important spiritual significance linked to these life forms, as it is believed that many of these orbs are the spirits of our deceased and loved ones and they also represent spirits from other dimensions.
According to the book Beyond Photography: “for years now, people have been photographing strange spheres, disks and balls of light, a phenomenon commonly known as orbs. Although orbs have been sighted since many years, it seems that with the invention of photography there have been many occurrences of strange lights on photo’s and negatives. Digital photography has even increased that number and many not believers claim that it has to do with malfunctioning of digital cameras. “ “Dust particles” is one of the most common used descriptions for orbs by non believers. Many critics and sceptics are still trying to deny the phenomena called orbs and I personally think it is because they can not really deal with the idea of “something else out there”. Too many so called coincidences and synergetic events which are experienced by people dealing with orbs are proving them wrong. One good example is the story of John and Katie’s friend Sam, who was present in a room were they took a picture, in which some orbs were visible. Not wanting to concede straight away, he said: “OK, then. But I’d be more impressed if you’d got a whole roomful.” To his amazement, they did get a picture with a room full of orbs. It was like the orbs were giving their answer. And that is exactly what they do: they communicate.
Orbs and crop circles
Orbs have a fascinating connection with crop circles. Many crop circle enthusiasts have seen orbs and sometimes captured them on film or photos while they were hanging or flying over a crop circle field. On a rare occasion orbs have been filmed while making the crop circle and you would think it is science fiction, because it does not seem real. Crop circles are becoming more creative and their shapes more complicated than ever. Also every year their number seems to increase, especially in the area of a place called Avebury, in the South West of England. The crop circles are beautiful and it is impossible that most of them have been made by humans, as some of these shapes would take an army to get it done. They are also usually made in the night and so it is a wonder that nobody ever gets caught in action.
Personal encounter
The night before I was going to visit my first crop circles in Wiltshire, in 2007, I had a personal encounter with an orb. I was staying in a house in Glastonbury with a group of friends and we were talking about how we thought crop circles were made and why. We discussed the theory of how orbs are responsible for making them and that they are intelligent beings who communicate. Suddenly I had an idea: I drew a picture of a pentagram on a piece of paper and showed it to my friends, claiming that this would be in the crop circle I was going to see the next day. I do not now why I did this, but I felt I needed to get my own proof on the communication with orbs. Afterwards one of my friends and I went into the garden and we stood there looking into the night. All of a sudden a ball of light went past us in the next garden, it had a tail of light and at first I was not sure if I really did see it. I looked at my friend and she said: “yes, I saw it too”. We just stood there in amazement and wonder on what we had just witnessed.
The next day when we were in the car on our way to the crop circles, our driver and guide showed us a picture of the first circle we were going to see. It had a pentagram in it, together with some other symbols and again I was amazed by this synergy of events. For me there was no more doubt about the ability of orbs to communicate.

Janet Ossebaard is a Dutch researcher who has done extensive work on crop circles. Her latest book is called Crop Circles, The proof; it is a book filled with hard evidence that most crop circles are not made by people, but by an unknown intelligence wishing to communicate with humanity. She has personally witnessed crop circles being created and she has taken many photos with orbs being present at crop circles. Not only orbs have been spotted, but in most cases electric magnetic sounds have been heard while a crop circle was being created.
An orb experiment
Recently I conducted my own orb encounter experience; I had invited some friends to watch a documentary on orbs, called ‘Orbs, the veil is lifting’. This movie features two well know orb experts: Miceàl Ledwith and Klaus Heinemann, who had written a book ‘The orb Project’ in which they had published many spectacular pictures of orbs. After the movie was finished we went on an orb hunt: it was 22.30 hours in the evening and we walked to this little park in my home town of Amsterdam, where I knew a spiritual place. It is a Maria chapel, a pilgrimage place and it radiates loving energy which you can sense all around it. We started with a short meditation and then began to take pictures and immediately we could see orbs in the pictures. Still vague and not too many, but they were there. After about 15 minutes or so, the orbs on the pictures increased and suddenly there was this sea of orbs surrounding us and it blew us away.

The message of the orbs
Why do orbs appear to us, do they have a message? Katie Hall believes they are here to regain our focus on what is really important. She believes that orbs are healers, but you have to activate the contact and healing yourself. For her orbs have made a difference in her life in the sense that she has become more spiritual and is more in tune with her feelings.
According to the conclusions of Miceàl Ledwith and Klaus Heinemann in their book: The orb project, “Orbs are real and they are connected to realms that are outside of normal human perception. They appear to function outside the conventional laws of physics, yet they can communicate with us through digital cameras that are now readily available to all of us.”
In the introduction of Linda Ball’s book Dimensional Journey, she writes that for her the major theme in the messages of the orbs, was that there was nothing to fear. She was being taught that she must first recognize who she truly is, who we truly are. Her experiences were very important to her growth and awareness.
I believe that orbs invite each of us to start a communication that goes beyond earthly limits. It has to be initiated by ourselves and we need to open up to different realities and dimensions that are out there. Most of us live our lives in a box and forget to be in touch with our souls. The orbs help to open up more awareness about who we are and why we are here, but most important they tell us that we are not alone. The orbs show me personally that life indeed continues after we die and that helps me to grow and evolve. If you want to enrich your life with more meaning and love, get your camera out and start shooting. The orbs are waiting to hear from you.

When my friend Margreet told me about this special gathering that was to take place in Arizona, The Return of the Ancestors Gathering, I felt immediately that I had to be there. Sometimes you do not know why, but you feel that you have to and this was one of these times. We live in the Netherlands and we are involved in spiritual activities, thru which we develop ourselves and try to stay open and alert to sensing to what our souls are saying to us. This is of course nothing new, it is being done all over the world, but it can be a lonely road sometimes. The gathering was calling for souls to come together and share and maybe that is why we wanted to be there. We went with open hearts and the willingness to share our stories.
Maya prophecies
About 500 years ago The Mayas wrote down their prophecies on stones, which is now known as The Maya Calendar. One of these prophecies was:
At the time of the 13 Baktun and 13 Ahau is the time of the Return of our Ancestors and the Return of the Men of Wisdom”.
The fact that this gathering was inspired by the Maya prophecies and called for the presence of elders of several native American tribes, south American tribes and other indigenous tribes, made this gathering even more special. I felt that this gathering would energetically have a profound effect on the state of our earth and on getting to the turning point of 2012. Not only this gathering would be needed to get there, but many more after this one. The gathering of souls on a hearts level is like drops of water coming together to create a beautiful waterfall. The beauty of this waterfall will attract more souls to join and create waves of love that will spread over the world.
Blog and important links
If you like to read about my experiences with this gathering, please have a look at my blog on the website of our foundation: www.apurposeforlifefoundation.com . I would also recommend to have a look at the introduction movie of this gathering on the website of ICA, Institute of Cultural Awareness, which made this gathering happen: www.ica8.org . More inportant information about the Maya prophecies has been given by the writer Drunvalo Melchizedek, who was also involved in the gathering and is in close contact with Don Alejandro. Drunvalo explains about what the prophecies mean for this time in a series of You Tube movies: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Ge9q25cV7w&NR=1.

A Ramtha trilogy
Part 1: An introduction to Ramtha
Many of us have seen the movie “What the Bleep do we know”, but perhaps not many know that the creators of the movie were once students of Ramtha. Ramtha is also being interviewed in the movie and one of his most interesting observations is: You are God! Now at the time I saw the movie, I had no clue who Ramtha was and what he did. I watched and heard these words being spoken in the movie by a blond woman with a red jacket who seemed to me very powerful. She got my interest and I surfed the internet to locate her and find out more about her. I connected to the Ramtha website and surprisingly came to the discovery that the woman, JZ. Knight, was a channeler for an old soul called Ramtha. Now I am not particularly interested in channeling, but it was the message and the teachings itself that got my attention.

Part 2: Our visit to the Ramtha retreat in Belgium with an exclusive interview with Ramtha teacher Mike Wright.
After my introduction weekend in 2006, I decided I would like to find out more about Ramtha and so I take the opportunity to visit a retreat in Belgium which takes places in the first week of May 2007 in the beautiful Ardennes. I was hoping to be able to interview Ramtha and JZ. Knight, but unfortunately they are not attending the retreat. I get however invited by one of Ramtha’s teachers, Mike Wright, to experience some of the disciplines of the retreat and so my photographer Nicole and I get going and after quite a detour finally arrive at our destination. There we are pleasantly welcomed by Debbie Christie and Mike Wright, two of the teachers who are coordinating the event and who have been with Ramtha for years. Mike starts guiding us around the area and explains about what they are doing.

Part 3: An exclusive interview with Ramtha’s Master of Music: Debbie Christie
When we arrive in the hotel to meet the teachers of Ramtha, we get a nice welcome from Debbie. Debbie has been the Master of music for almost 20 years and is responsible for the music that is being used in the events. After our much needed cup of tea, we get to watch Debbie work with the cards. Her speciality is to look thru the back of a card to see which card it is. She pulls out a deck of cards and I shuffle them for her. She then starts to concentrate of the top card and calls it correctly. The next 15 cards she also manages to call correctly and I look at her with great respect. Fortunately we get to talk with her later to find out who she is and what she does and why music plays an important part in the events.

With an exclusive interview with Lynne Mc Taggart
Ancient people have always believed it: the universe is alive and everything is connected with each other. If we ask the universe gives and there is abundance for everyone. People believed in energy and were consciously using it to create a good harvest, to heal people and to ask for material things. The earth, moon, stars and plants were all considered magic and as gratitude for their powers the people held rituals. Special magicians such as shamans had an important role within the community and were seen as messengers from the universe, who could speak with the spirits. In a traditional witch circle, magic is a natural part of life where by speaking out your intension or by performing a ritual you can accomplish all sorts of things. Witches believe that by telling the universe your intention it will give you an answer. How this answer will come and in which shape is never known and thus, the witches saying: Be careful what you wish for, you might get it!

An interview with Simon Ramsay
He does not live in an ordinary house, but he lives in a bus with the comforts of a little home. Like a nomad he travels around the world with this bus, following his intuition to go where he feels he needs to go. The earth is his home and with all his heart he dedicates himself to protect her, like every responsible habitant of this planet should be doing. He has started the project NOMADS to get attention for the natural wellbeing of this planet. NOMADS aims to look at the nomadic tribes on earth to show us how you can live in harmony with nature. Ramsay and a crew will travel with the bus to visit with these tribes and film a documentary. The experiences will also be published in a book which is to be presented to the Dalai Lama next year in India.
