There are places in parts of the tunnels which have been scientifically measured at 55,000 Bovis.<\/p>\n<p>I wished to expose the cells of my body to this huge increase in life force energy if possible.\u00a0 I was able to sit and meditate in the tunnels a couple of times in the areas of high concentration for an hour or so at a time.\u00a0 There was a purity in the air and an extremely high concentration of negative ions.\u00a0 Very comfortable.<\/p>\n<p>On one occasion, standing with Judy and a small group, I felt the energy begin to enter my feet, spiraling up my legs, and I felt like a transformer.\u00a0 I was swaying in clockwise motion and my hands were moving rhythmically of their own accord as the energy left through them.\u00a0 This energy leaving my hands felt soft and gentle, lighter than the powerful energy entering me from the earth.\u00a0 It felt as though it was transformed by passing through my body.<\/p>\n<p>The entrance to the tunnels seems to have been closed off around 6000 BC according to carbon dating of the filling material, and\u00a0 many mysteries are held in the network of tunnels and huge flat monoliths.\u00a0 The message in one ancient rune stone inscription has been deciphered.\u00a0 It reads.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cWe are at a standstill\u2026.The gateway is closed\u2026We will have to defend and conquer until the time comes to go back through the Stargate\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>What a different Bosnia from the misery I had left twenty years ago.\u00a0 And what a different person I was from the miserable woman who had left in tears.\u00a0 This is not to say that all people are aware of the significance of the complex on their doorsteps.\u00a0 But I got a sense that many young people in the Balkans are spiritually aware.<\/p>\n<p>There was a tall beautiful girl from Zagreb in the group, Vesna, with whom I had an instant connection.\u00a0 We spent\u00a0 many hours together, and I understood she was partly there to face her demons and come to terms with her experiences of spending many of her childhood years in bomb shelters in Zagreb.\u00a0 In our very different ways, we were both looking for closure, mine much easier of course.\u00a0 On a day when we went for an outing driving through the countryside, Vesna and I sat on the bus together and spent almost 18 hours in a deep processing of our pasts.\u00a0 I was struck by the beauty in this land \u2013\u00a0\u00a0 beauty which had not been visible during the years following the horrors.\u00a0 There were several times in the day\u2019s journey where Vesna\u2019s tears flowed and my shoulder came in useful despite the fact that she towered above me by almost a half a metre.<\/p>\n<p>When we parted I gave her a copy of <em>Into the Light<\/em> which as an acupuncturist in Zagreb, she constantly\u00a0 plays for her clients.\u00a0 A month later, Vesna joined us in Leysin for the Sound of Light\u00a0 symposium.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">***<\/p>\n<p>During the week I had the opportunity to talk through plans for the following month with Judy.\u00a0 Her post-Bosnian schedule was going to be intense with a European Activation four-city itinerary to Dublin, London, Amsterdam and Copenhagen over a fortnight, before I would collect her in Geneva.<\/p>\n<p>I was pleased I had encouraged her to take a week in my apartment in Thonon connecting with Lac Leman before joining us in Leysin.\u00a0 She is also human.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Another thread allowing closure with a visit to Visoko and the pyramid complex in Bosnia. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":592,"template":"","categories":[11],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-591","episode_posts","type-episode_posts","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-part-4-aftermath-and-afterlife"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mylisteningheart.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/episode_posts\/591","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mylisteningheart.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/episode_posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mylisteningheart.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/episode_posts"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mylisteningheart.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/592"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mylisteningheart.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=591"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mylisteningheart.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=591"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mylisteningheart.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=591"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
