February 2000 - Giant Rock was considered by many the largest boulder in the
world, it is now two boulders. A slice of the rock fell off from the boulder monday
morning February 23, 2000, exposing a gleaming white granite interior, and
fulfilling Native American prophecy.
From James Twyman:
In
ancient times "Giant Rock" was held sacred by the Native peoples of
the Joshua Tree, California area. So sacred in fact that only the chief was
allowed to go near it. Everyone else had to wait nearly a mile away while the
Chief communed with the spirits of the "Rock People" who had
prophesied "the day when the Mother would split open and a new era would
be revealed." Most other
traditions have pointed to this time in our history as the awakening of the
Divine Feminine, to a world based upon compassion and peace. Now that Giant
Rock has split, many people believe that the prophecy has been
fulfilled. In my latest book,
"The Secret of the Beloved Disciple," I wrote extensively about two
important shamans in this area, Shri Naath Devi and Fr. John, a priest from
Los Angeles. This e-mail is in regard to the important happenings that took place
at the Integratron with Shri Naath Devi and Fr. John a mile away from Giant
Rock, during the two days prior to the boulder splitting. I believe that this
story needs to be shared with as many people as possible so we can focus our
prayers and energy on the important era we have so recently entered.
On February 19th and 20th, Shri Naath
Devi was inspired to bring a number of powerful healers to the desert near
Giant Rock to pray, meditate. She said that the Native people were no longer
doing ceremony in this area and that the earth itself was about to react with
a violent upheaval. If the Mother accepted the prayers that were scheduled,
then Giant Rock would crack at the side, relieving pressure on the Earth's
tectonic plates. If the prayers were not accepted, then Giant Rock would
split directly down the middle.
The fact that Giant Rock has not moved for millions of years made the
likelihood of such a change remote. And yet, the next morning, to everyone's
amazement, the boulder had not cracked; rather one-third of the rock had
split and had fallen to the desert floor. Shri Naath Devi interpreted this in
the most positive light. She said that the Mother had opened her arms to us,
cracking open her heart for the whole world to see. Fr. John was there for
part of the prayer. He too felt the incredible shift and joined two of my
assistants, LaurieJoy Pinkham and Will Clark, who had participated in the
prayers with Shri Naath Devi. They had gathered at her house less than 24
hours later.
As they stood in the kitchen discussing the events, lightning struck, sending
a ball of light through the center of the house in a north/south direction.
Within moments lightning struck again and shot through the house in an
east/west direction. This was a very auspicious moment and was witnessed by
all four people. Shri Naath Devi declared that the prayers were now complete
and that the lightening was honoring the four directions as a sign from the
Mother that supported this completion. The boulder had split open only two
hours prior to this gathering.
What does this all mean?
We stand at the threshold of an amazing opportunity. This is the time when we
rediscover within ourselves the peace and compassion of the Divine, and the
earth itself will mirror this shift. There have been many signs over the last
few years: the White Buffalo calf, comets that have come and comets will come
again over the next few months. All these lead us to believe that the time
the ancients have called the "Great Shift" is at hand.
The Amazing Splitting Of Van Tassel's 'Giant
Rock'
On February 23, 2000, The High Desert Star newspaper reported that the world
s largest, freestanding boulder broke into two pieces. A third of it broke
off, exposing a gleaming white granite interior.
The Giant Rock is famous in Native American culture, since it and the
surrounding land are Holy Ground. It was the place where the northern and
southern tribes met each year. Native Americans call the Giant Rock The Great
Stone. And to them, the Great Stone symbolizes the Great Spirit.
In times past, tribal ceremonies at this site often lasted up to three days.
During the ceremonies, none of the ordinary citizens of the tribe were
allowed to be near the Rock; instead, they had to camp a mile or so away from
the proceedings. On the North side of the Rock is the Sign of the Scorpion,
purportedly put there by an Indian chief . To the Indians, the sign signifies
a good place According to reports; it is the only official Native American
sign on the Giant Rock. No other markings were permitted. At the Giant Rock,
the chiefs would commune with the spirits of the "Rock People" who
prophesized that one day the Mother would split open and a new era would
begin. Many see the recent splitting of the rock as a prophesy fulfilled.
In his book, "The Secret of the Beloved Disciple," James Twyman
wrote extensively about two important and contemporary Shamans active in the
Southern Calif. area: Shri Naath Devi and Fr. John, a priest from LA.
Twyman reported that on 19 and 20 February 2000, Shri Naath Devi gathered
fellow healers to meditate near Giant Rock. She said that Native people had
stopped holding ceremonies in the area and that violent upheavals would
occur. She went on to say that if the Mother accepted the scheduled prayers,
then the Giant rock would split at the side, relieving pressure on the Earth
s tectonic plates. If the prayers were not accepted, then Giant Rock would
split directly down the middle. Keep in mind that the Giant Rock had not
moved for millions of years. Nonetheless, the next morning the boulder hadn t
simply cracked; rather, an entire third of it broke off. Twyman reports that
Devi interpreted the splitting of the Rock as a positive sign that indicated
that the Mother had opened her arms to mankind.
To UFO researchers, Giant Rock is significant for other reasons. It was the
home and workplace of the enigmatic George Van Tassel. Van Tassel allegedly
made contact with extraterrestrials and was tutored by them on a variety of
subjects, including human, cellular rejuvenation. And that led to the
building of a structure called the Integratron.
After arriving in California from Ohio in 1930,
Van Tassel, age 20, lived with an uncle who owned an automobile repair shop
in Southern California. One day during that period, he met Frank Critzer, a
down and out prospector who needed to have his Essex car repaired. Van Tassel
found the prospector to be an engaging fellow and the two of them soon became
friends. Owing to Critzer s financial difficulties, Van Tassel agreed to repair
the car for free. Critzer was even allowed to sleep at the garage while
repairs were made to his car.
Van Tassel s largess didn t end there: He gave Critzer a trunk full of canned
goods along with $30., which, as Van Tassel put it, was a lot of money then.
In return, Critzer promised to include Van Tassel and the uncle in any mining
claims he might make in the future.
A year later, Critzer mailed a map to Van Tassel showing how to get to Great
Rock, the place Critzer was living. Map in hand, Van Tassel set out to visit
his friend. Van Tassel was surprised to find that Critzer had dug under the
Great Rock in order to have a place to live. He had made a kind of cave for
himself. It should be noted that Critzer was, technically, nothing more than
a squatter, since he was living on government land.
According to Van Tassel, the idea of making a cave was a good one. In the
summer the maximum temperature under the Rock is 80 degrees F. In the winter,
the temperature is a minimum of 50 degrees F. In contrast, the temperature
outside the cave swings between 25 degrees F to 115 degrees F.
The Giant Rock covers 5800 Sq. ft. of ground and is 7 stories high. The rooms
that Critzer dug were no more than a total of 400 sq. ft.
During WWII, Critzer ran afoul of the government and was accused of stealing
dynamite and later of being an enemy spy. Conflicting stories about this
colorful character abound. But whatever the truth, a confrontation with the
police resulted in his death in August of 1942. Interestingly, Van Tassel
claims the prospector was an "advanced thinker" who researched
innovative methods of manufacturing plastic. However details of that matter
are sketchy.
Van Tassel continued to visit the Rock. And he reported that he and his wife
even vacationed there. Van Tassel related that in 1945, he made an
application to the Bureau of Land Management to lease the property. In 1947,
George Van Tassel quit his job at a Lockeed aircraft plant and moved his
family to the Mojave Desert, near Landers, California. He then leased four
square miles of land surrounding Giant Rock from the government.
The area was covered with decomposed granite making it a natural site for a
small airport. And Van Tassel, in fact, created one Giant Rock Airport--which
he operated from 1947 until 1975.
In 1953, he started holding weekly meditations in the rooms under the Giant
Rock these meditations he said led to contact with extraterrestrial beings.
He first contacted them in August of that year. As Van Tassel tells the
story, a ship from Venus landed. The occupants of the ship invited him
onboard where they taught him the principals of cell rejuvenation and that
those teachings led to the creation of the Integratron. The Integratron was
designed to help carry out the cell rejuvenation process.
