A
trip to the sacred sites and ancient cities of Peru and
Bolivia |
It
seems I have always been blessed with some strange types
of "luck", but around 1999 the Universe saw fit
to gift me with the astounding luck of making a trip to
the sacred sites in South America. The trip was initiated
by a friend who had traveled there to experience the rainforest,
the shamanic culture and to experience an ayahuasca ceremony.
He was generous enough to invite a group of friends from
Tennessee & Arkansas. I was invited to come along on
a 2 week tour of the sacred sites and ancient cities of
Peru and Bolivia.
I learned about the spiritual cultures of the native people
& was able to participate in 'planetary healing ceremonies'
at the island of the Sun, island of the Moon, lake Titikaka,
Pisaq, Tiahuanaco and at that time it was still possible
to book a private night-time ceremony at Maccu Picu if you
knew the right people. There are no lights installed in
the complex and at night it's completely dark and totally
empty of people. We played drums, bells and didjireedoos
at the city complex at midnight, and also hummed into the
resonation chambers on the outside of the complex (really
intense if you get a few people doing the same tone in a
row of the resonant boxes!!) |
 We
stayed in an interesting hotel at one point, in the desert
on the way to Cuzco. It was claimed that it was situated
at a major intersection of "grid lines" or "ley
lines" of geo-magnetic force. Only 50 feet away there
was a fenced off area of ancient phallic monuments. I started
noticing the hotel was very interesting - an indoor waterfall
with giant crystals and geodes around it, paintings of sunsets
with glimmering UFO's, the keyring had a brass dolphin,
etc. The guide informed me the hotel's owner was an operative
of 'the great white brotherhood' and this was one of their
deals - to have meeting places near major grid points.
I
didn't have my camera for this one .. but the place at the
right is a doorway into solid stone, in an outcropping in
the middle of Nowhere ... I think it was on the way down
to Bolivia. you have to stop on the road and walk quite
a distance to find it, as you approach it it seems to be
almost a throne, or door & the entire front of the rock
facing has been smoothed. if you kneel into the opening,
there is a circular indentation that is at eye level. Very
interesting place. here are a few more photos i was able
to find. |

If anyone knows the name & location of this structure
in Peru, please send me an email.
The
general vibe was very relaxed in Peru and the people
were friendly. It was easy to forget all the cares of
my life in the USA and live in the moment. Peru has
every type of landscape imaginable; Ice-capped mountains,
beaches, deserts, springs, rainforest and dense urban
cities. Some areas are in desperate poverty of a type
americans cannot imagine. The effects of increased tourism
and western interest were also becoming apparent. huge
piles of trash dumped in the desert, plastic bottles
in the sacred river, etc. Its a severe problem in Machu
Picchu because there are no roads in or out - just a
3 hr train trip, and huge mounds of trash are building
up in ravines and rivers from the intense tourism and
trash generating lifestyle of the westerners.
