Thoughts on the Swastika Crop Formation

The subtle lines going off from each dot intrigued me.Swastikas are mostly used in India as a part of Hindu rituals. But the idea presented elsewhere here that this might be a Tibetan swastika gave me the idea of looking up both Sanskrit and Tibetan letters, and as a result, I think I found a fit - the Tibetan letter “da.” The following is excerpted from Reading Tibetan Manuscripts, at old-orthography

“The da drag, or ‘strong da’ was a standard feature of Old Tibetan orthography. ...Initally the da drag may have been a fundamental element of grammer. If so it had lost this aspect by the time of the earliest extant documents. ...the da drag had a phonetic role indicating the way the nga, ra and la were pronounced when followed by certain other syllables. This can still be seen in Classical Tibetan. ...But some syllables which orginally had the da drag act as if they still have it... Thus the da drag lived on as a phonetic element after its disappearance from writing. ...The da drag is said to have been removed from the official script by the second reformation of the written language... It still appears as late as the 18th century in certain sutras, especially those of the Prajñāpāramitā (Perfection of Wisdom) genre; here the da drag seems to have been preserved as a kind of sacred orthography associated with these sūtras.”

So how does this information apply to this crop formation? Well, in the crop swastika, the “da drag” is a subtext to this formation - it’s made within a pattern of the fallen crop lay, not from the standing crop. It’s also repeated four times, at every dot, which emphasizes it as important. And, the curves at the end of the arms, and the dots themselves, emphasize that this is NOT a Nazi swastika, which has already been commented on here. In India those dots are called “rangoli,” and they are celebratory and signify beauty and auspiciousness - i.e. the opposite of the Nazi symbol. So the circlemakers have been very clear about that point, I think.
 

As for the “da drag,” if that’s what those subtle lines indicate then this is a very profound formation (then again it would be, wouldn’t it, as it’s a giant freaking swastika). The point here is that the “da drag” used to be a part of written Tibetan, but was removed from the writing. Yet, it still subtly remains phonetically, i.e. in pronunciation, and is still in use for the spiritual (historical) writings of Tibet. So the da drag lines are actually meta - they are a part of the crop formation that is talking about the crop formation.
 

And isn’t that meta-message about exactly what happened to the swastika? For the swastika is no longer used as a written symbol - it’s even outlawed in Germany. Yet for thousands of years, this symbol stood ONLY for the very highest good. That’s why it is literally the only spiritual symbol used by the Jains of India, who don’t even use Om. And the Hopi used it widely to show their migrations and as a part of their cultural history and teachings, and still do in their sacred ceremonies, as do a number of native American tribes. It’s literally been found all over the world.
 

In Japan, it’s called “manji” and is a symbol for Dharma itself - the divine law, the instrinsic order of sanity in the universe. And there, it’s said not to have two directions of rotation, but rather a front and a back - the front representing love and compassion, the first and feminine aspects of Dharma, and then the back representing intelligence and strength, the masculine aspects of Dharma (these aspects are termed according to their natural energy signatures, so don’t get all agitated).
 

What we see here, therefore, is a celebratory swastika (dots or rangoli), holding the Tibetan symbol (da) for something that is no longer written but which holds the SAME essential positive spiritual meaning acknowledged for thousands of years all around the world. In other words, it’s time for the return of Dharma, which is a joyous thing, not only because it is essentially good, but because the human race has associated it with evil itself and refused to even acknowledge it as a fundamental truth anymore - we’ve literally thrown the baby out with the bathwater. As a result, look at our world.
 

Presumably, because Hitler saw himself as god, he chose the masculine portrayal of the power of Dharma, enforcement, for the Nazis. Because remember, he sold Nazism as good - that’s how he got so many true believers in Germany. And so he used THE ancient symbol for the power of the enforcement and protection of good itself, the rightward-facing swastika. The power of the Dharma King, in other words. But in doing so, he literally raped it out of the (western) human race, where it’s still loathed as representing his mass-murdering madness and butchery. As a result, it’s thousands of years of representing the exact opposite of Nazism is still utterly, completely unknown in the Western world.
 

But who cares about a mere symbol? Just use another one, right? Why are the circlemakers so intent on THIS one? With all their genius, they can’t think of something else to use? Well, not so fast. In India, for example, Sanskrit is made of ancient symbols that were seen in deep states of meditation. They aren’t just shapes - they’re actual manifestations of specific kinds of energy itself. Same with Hebrew. And so too with this most ancient of all human symbols, the swastika, found all over the world in virtually every ancient race on earth. Or, in the alternative, they are shapes that were actually seen in nature somewhere, or in the sky - swastika is an ancient symbol for the sun, too.
 

So to the circlemakers, this is not an “optional” symbol, raped by Hitler though it certainly is. Rather it represents something, it manifests something in particular - and that something is NOT Nazism. Rather, it’s something they obviously believe is SO worth using that nothing else will do, even though they surely know the incredible shock and initial horror they will cause the western world when it’s seen it in a wheat field. Because they believe that whatever it actually represents is something desperately needed right now. And think about it - wouldn’t Hitler try to deny that something from the human race if he could? And didn’t he? (Except in India and Asia)
 

So somehow, in some way, laying it on this field as they have done helps the earth - not another symbol, but this particular symbol. And seeing this symbol also helps us, the human race, despite our current horror of it - not another symbol, but this particular symbol. Hitler tried to pervert it, but the only thing he accomplished was creating confusion about it. Apparently, the circlemakers are not confused, and do not believe he was able to change its essential nature, which they obviously still find to be extremely valuable in a POSITIVE way for the earth, and for humanity.
 

Further, we are seeing the symbol’s masculine side (to the Japanese, we’re looking at the back (masculine side) of it, so it’s facing down). So that could mean the circlemakers intend the the feminine front - compassion and love - to be sent to the earth, which it faces, while intelligence and strength is to be sent to those observing (the back of) it - namely, us.
 

Or, that they intend to protect the earth by kicking our asses.
 

In any event, Dharma is returning - and the circlemakers are very happy about it.
