Today I went to Fountains Abbey in Yorkshire (with my drone) because it has been calling me since I arrived in the UK...

I went to an art class with my mum two months ago in Norwich and chose 'by chance' a picture of Fountains Abbey to paint. The photograph I was painting from didn't tell me which part of England it was in.

I just felt somehow connected to that Abbey and really enjoyed painting it...

So, when I learned that 'by chance' it is in Yorkshire and not too far from the solar site where I am working all summer, my spider senses kicked in and told me something was up.

The Signs

So, first there was the 'randomly' chosen picture which I painted.

Then a woman in a motorhome campsite two months ago 'randomly' gave me a Fountains Abbey pamphlet on my way out saying that she thought I might enjoy visiting the place. Indeed I might.

Finally, just 2 weeks ago a woman behind me in the queue at a shop whom I 'randomly' started chatting with also told me she thought I would enjoy visiting Fountains Abbey and even told me there was a direct bus from our village, Easingwold.

Then I knew something really was up! There could be no further delay.

When the Universe is giving us such clear signs and we simply must follow them.

My mother

I knew she was coming to visit for a few days in her motorhome so suggested Fountains Abbey as one of the places we might visit. She seemed excited by the idea and that was that.

I've just now returned (an hour ago) to my desk after a full day at the Abbey... and WOW!

I am still buzzing because it was truly special.

Despite the numerous potential legal implications of doing so, I simply had to fly my drone.

I kept asking myself "why am I here?"

Why am I here?

Why am I here?

Screen Shot 20190715 at 19.13.06.jpg

My mother did her best to keep up with my incessant pace running around with my bare feet, looking for the answer to my question.

Screen Shot 20190715 at 19.13.44.jpg

And then I felt it...

The tallest section.

I knew I had to go in there.

Screen Shot 20190715 at 19.14.31.jpg

As you can see (looking directly up from the base) 'by chance' the sun was perfectly positioned at that moment to fill the ground level with its energy.

Screen Shot 20190715 at 19.14.51.jpg

It should also be noted that 'by chance' the moon was full that night. The cosmic moment had been timed to perfection.

I sat down and meditated for 15mins at the base of this ancient structure and it felt AMAZING!

Screen Shot 20190715 at 19.16.22.jpg

My mother is used to this kind of thing. She sat patiently and waited.

After lunch mum went back to the motorhome for a siesta but I continued on to the top of the hill you can see here above the lake at the edge of the estate, from which I launched my drone. There weren't any people up there and this was my best chance of not getting spotted.

Screen Shot 20190715 at 18.21.46.jpg

So, I flew my drone without any problems and on my walk back spotted this amazing tree which seemed to be calling me too. I sat and meditated under it for a further 15mins.

Screen Shot 20190715 at 19.18.01.jpg

I felt the vastness of time sitting there. I felt the advanced community of peaceful humans living in harmony with all religions side by side. And I felt as if I was not the first person to sit in this bum-shaped root seat and meditate to re-connect with the energy here.

The History Lie

The history books tell us that 13 monks built this fabulous place in 1137 with the assistance of local tradesmen and we are told that they sold wool to finance it.

They must have had a lot of sheep!

Screen Shot 20190715 at 19.20.21.jpg

Those of you who know me will know that I am suspicious of everything... especially history.

And there is something very out of place with this story.

Antiquitec

It was built for a thriving community of advanced humans who most likely used the tall section I was sitting in for collecting energy. Like a tessla device. Buildings like this are know online as antiquitec these days. I am not alone in my belief that these kind of structures functioned to provide electricity for the community and further to this, we believe they are in fact much OLDER than we are being told.

The reason history has been distorted is to keep us from asking the question.... where did this advanced civilisation go?

To get to just a small part of this answer, see my article on Earth's cyclical culling system, also known as a Grand Solar Minimum.

Healing Energy

As you can see they built a section of this ENORMOUS structure OVER the river. Now, why go to all that extra trouble building over a river?

Screen Shot 20190715 at 19.12.32.jpg

Why not just make the building a little smaller and have the river running alongside it?

Screen Shot 20190715 at 19.21.16.jpg

I will tell you why.

Because when we are positioned above natural running water it has a healing effect. So, this part of the building you can see me in here was for healing the sick.

Screen Shot 20190715 at 19.21.46.jpg

The crucifix visible behind me is very modern and only there to force feed us the idea that this was a place of worship.

In Conclusion

Most likely the part of the story about there being 13 monks is true. But they didn't build this place. They found it. And they found it already as a ruin.

See if you can find online any paintings which show it as anything other than a ruin.

They knew how to paint back in 1200 didn't they? Apparently they they just forgot to paint it in its full glory.

I used the words 'randomly' and 'by chance' a few times in this story but I can tell you with certainty nothing happens by chance. Stay connected, follow the signs.

As to the question "why I am here" the answer is hard to describe to you. But I can tell you it has been answered. For energetic reasons I simply had to be there on that day at that time to sit in those two places with a simple mantra and a calm mind:

"I am a clear, open and receptive vessel."

Love & Light everyone!

Woah! This is incredible.

I can feel the sacred nature of this site from here. There is something about the location that holds a power to match and magnify the care and skill that went into carving the stones of the beautiful architecture.

Imagine the people who once lived in this Abby chose to give up all their worldly possessions to instead humble themselves to the lowest depths of servitude for the rest of their lives. They spent every day meditating behind these drafty stone walls praying alone and with others without any distractions. How hard is it for us to take out even one day in our own lives to separate our thoughts from worldly responsibilities?

I don't blame you for wanting to spend the entire day there. Truly an inspiring place to give birth to a wonderful painting that will ignite memories for years to come.

The river stream looks like my favorite place. I could sit there all day enjoying the babbling waters and the sunlight reflections.

Sacred for sure. Hard to imagine what life was like when this place was fully functional. As I said, I believe it was at a time when humans lived in harmony with each other & were more advanced than we are now.

Whatever it was, it makes for a great day out ;)

That's an awesome story. Love the energy!
Awesome colors and pictures too :>)

Hey Vincent!

It really was an epic day. I'm still buzzing. Think I will be for a while....

This rekindled some memories. I had a holiday in Yorkshire before we emigrated and spent a day in this beautiful place. It's awe inspiring, yet calming at the same time. Thank you for the reminder.

Big LUV!

You’ve been visited by @porters on behalf of Natural Medicine!

So happy that you could follow your intuition and go to this marvelous place at what seemed like just the right time! I have had those moments where you can't really put into words but it's just a knowing (for me it was knowing what all this - or existence was about) or an energy transfer. Thanks so much for sharing this along with those wonderful drone shots - marvelous!

Thanks @porters

Energy transfer is exactly right.

And something has happened since then. Something big!

Can't tell you yet... Saving it for a post :)

these are breathtaking! so peaceful and vibrant!

Flying the drone was such a pleasure. If only I hadn't been so nervous about getting caught, I would have gotten a closer inspection ;)

A fabulous place.

Indeed it is!

I doubt that all there was to this visit and all you felt was just the experience of that day.

I have a feeling that a day will come and something will seem to light up inside you and you'll have that moment of knowing why it called to you and you will have grown again.

You often seem to take little trips, in...maybe in little spurts...but at least, far more often than I do. Mine seem to come once a decade or two...I envy you my friend, I hate stagnation.
