All religions have places which are important to their beliefs. Their practitioners make pilgrimages to these sites to embrace and experience the Sacred. The New Age religion is no different in having sacred places. Within the New Age religion however, the places of sacred geography (Note 1) also include various metaphysical ones. (Note 2)
For New Age believers, their sacred sites are considered to be “mirrors of the universal truths that connect all beings to the Divine Source.” These are the sacred places where the Earth’s energies are collected and radiated. Moreover, these sites are integral to Spiritual Ascension (Note 3), which is the ultimate goal of New Age practitioners. Moreover, these particular sites offer guidance to help the soul to evolve to its union with the Divine Source.
Many sites of the New Age are also places where the physical and spiritual worlds converge. For example, Avebury in England is believed to be a vortex to other places. (One of them being the sacred Isle of Avalon.) Judith Corwin-Blackburn, shamanic minister, in “The 6D Ascension Journey,” tells of her visit to the Callanish Stone Circle in Scotland that connected her to the higher dimensional realities. In “Portals of the Stars,” Mike Ricksecker, noted paranormal writer, says that the Stargates of Ancient Egypt (which includes the Great Pyramid of Giza) open to other worlds and times.
According to the New Age religion, the Earth is both alive and sacred, possessing subtle layers of energy. In “Gifts of Mother Earth,” Jaap Van Etten, a noted practitioner who focuses on metaphysical ecology, (Note 4) lists the various systems of the Earth’s subtle energy. These systems are grouped into the following:
Basic Grids. The lowest vibrations and frequencies.
Higher-frequency energies. The Meridians and Chakra systems.
Morphogenetic Grids. They allow for the existence of all beings.
Crystaline grids. Networks of Crystaline structures in the Earth. (This is considered to be a type of dragon energy.)
Consciousness grids. They are fields of the collective consciousness of various beings (humans, whales, and others).
Portals. Gateways that link to other worlds and dimensions.
Van Etten further explains that each system of subtle energy consists of three components: a field, grids, and connecting vortexes. The fields hold the different frequencies of knowledge, while the grids hold different parts of the field in their networks. Meanwhile, the vortexes (Note 5) are the connections between the fields and grids. People interact with each of the grids through meditation, energy work, being in nature and by making pilgrimages to scared sites.
Notes:
Note 1. Sacred geography is defined as “the mapping of spiritual significance on to physical landscapes.”
Note 2. The most important of these places are Atlantis, Lemuria, and the Isle of Avalon.
Note 3. “Ascension” is defined as “the raising of the personal vibrational frequency to the Higher Self, which unifies with the Cosmic Force.” A person moves from having a Light Body to being a Light Being (Higher Self).
According to various traditions, the Light Body is a multi-layered, energy-based system that surrounds the physical body. This body forms the vibrational density that connects people to the Divine Source and their Higher Selves. The astral, emotional, etheric, mental and rainbow bodies are aspects of the Light Body.
The Higher Self is the divine aspect of the self that exists beyond the individual’s ego.
There is a hierarchy of “souls” or “selves” in New Age theology. In the hierarchy, the highest is the Oversoul, the Universal Spirit that unifies all beings. It is the connective point between multiple Higher Selves. Second is the Higher Self. The next is the Spirit, the Divine Spark of Consciousness that connects the person to the Collective Consciousness. Finally, the Soul is the individual essence that incarnates into a physical body.
These are the Protocols to Ascension. The steps are 1) Ascension, 2) Ascended, 3) Crystal, 4) Diamond, 5) Emerald, 6) Golden-White Light, and 7) Grand Ascension.
The first three steps are for gaining mastery over the physical, emotional, and mental bodies. The fourth is to cultivate self-worth. The fifth connects the soul to their Higher Self. The sixth unifies the soul with the Higher Self. The seventh is becoming an Ascended Master.
Note 4. “Metaphysical ecology includes subtle energies, subtle worlds, and subtle beings. Earth holds visible and invisible measurable and immeasurable aspects that interact in a power dance.” (As defined by the Center for Metaphysical Ecology.)
Note 5. Vortexes are spiral connections between two energy systems. They allow the exchange of energy and information between each of the systems. (A vortex can be a portal.) A negative vortex such as a battlefield pulls energy inward without any release to the outside.
Conversely, there are “Vile Vortices” such as the Bermuda Triangle. As defined by Ivan T. Sanderson, a Vile Vortex is a hotspot area of strange activity. Each of these vortexes are connected with each other in a twenty-sided polygon called an Icosagon, considered to be a template of Sacred Geometry. (Sanderson officially called them “Vortices.”)
Portals are natural occurring doorways that give access to other locations, times, and consciousnesses. A Stargate is a Portal designed by an intelligent being.
