Tuesday the 8th June saw a group of eleven trekkers head to "That" Mountain. There had been some prior rain in the area and we kind of snuck past a couple of "road closed" signs to get into the forestry area. The track was a bit potholed but we made it to the "That" Mountain turnoff unscathed. Some ant mounds got shaved by Ron's BMW spoiler along the way and we soon found ourselves parked on the NE ridge. Mick needed coffee and the girls attended to a bit of weed eradication before the climb to the top. It is not a big mountain, but the short climb was fairly steep. There was an obvious track, with signs of stolen "blackboy" plants along the way. At the top we found a scattering of rocks, tree groupings and enormous energies.

The group mulled around for a while, each seeking their own energy spots, favourite rocks, trees, feelings. We all passed around our observations and sensings, each trying out the different "spots". I, personally, felt that there were four "cardinal rocks", north, south, east, and west which made my whole body shake whilst sitting on them. Mandy found a "flying rock" which when stood upon, made the person feel as if they were floating..............  Dorothy detected two triangles, one of rocks(which included the north cardinal rock) and one of trees. Within these triangles, one would feel light headed, or would experience a buzzing in the ears. Joanne had laid out a symbol cloth and some crystal pieces in an area which could only be described as "wild". Enormous energies were here. Some of the others also placed crystals in this area...... 

Almost as if there was a "silent signal" we decided to form a circle and do a group meditation. There was some discussion re facing north or facing the centre of the circle. Centre of the circle won out, with Pamela (circling like a cat trying to find a comfortable spot) the last to put "bum on rock".  We each "went in" in our own way following an "OM" ..........

I saw the "funnelling" of a dirty golden liquid like substance down to the top of the mountain, but viewed from above.... Then brilliant purple, then yellow. These colours alternated and swirled....Suddenly Pamela began to channel. We were told to join in a chant..... We followed her lead, chanting unknown words until the last note which she held for such a long time that I feared she would melt away......... Shivers ran up and down my spine and I went " hot and cold" during this chant. Joanne then chipped in with a "Welcome and thank you for coming".....

Then Dorothy, oh what an interesting session. We were told that the area where the crystals were placed was a "vortex" and would be opened for us to view.......At this time I "heard" a sound like the sound of the monolith in the film "2001 a Space Odyssey"... A multitude of deep voices...... Billions of conversations at once, everything that has ever been said, or will be, rolled into a few seconds .......This channelling went on for some considerable time, with many profound comments. When it was over we were all somewhat reluctant to "open up" to our experiences... Slowly some of it came out... Who saw what colours, who heard what sounds....  Denise came very close to actually voicing her channel.... Gary was hungry... Flemming was uncharacteristically quiet... Graeme smiled.... Elaine, too was slow to comment.......I feel that we were profoundly "zapped"...

We reluctantly retreated down the mountain, aiming to have lunch. I commented that we should go to the "messmate" spot.... The rest readily agreed. (much to the dismay of Gary's stomach, I think)

The "messmate" parking spot lies on a border between "planted forest" and "real rain forest". We set out lunch in the parking area and had a whale of a time, laughing and joking, eating and relaxing. Soon it was time to depart into the "real rain forest".... We packed up and again snuck  past some signs... (closed for rehabilitation!!!) We came to the big beauties and stood in awe of their majesty. Once again the wishes were expressed..."If only they could talk...."   We split up into the forest and finally came together again on another track. Here was a fallen tree, it's root system as big as a house. We followed the track, oohing and ahhhing at the sights around us. Returning to the carpark, we were reluctant to leave...forming a circle and just chatting...  Eventually with hugs all round, we departed this secret Eden and went our separate ways.

Mick's Musings

"That" Mountain !   Magical Place !!!!!!!

Once again, much light hearted banter... Great!

My initial "personal meditation" on arrival at the top was astounding.... Feelings of peace, healing, inner knowing....

Vibrations I felt on "cardinal rocks" caused initial fear, then desire.... No vibrations second time around??.... Had I absorbed what was needed?

Wonderful visions... Swirling colours... Still unsure re "vortex".  I sensed an "incoming" energy, rather than an ability to "go out there"...

Hmmm.... a billion voices.........

Flying  rock was FABULOUS fun!   Thanks Mandy!

How the heck did Pamela keep that note going so long???   I ran out of breath.....

Strange how others were a bit reluctant to divulge their experiences..... Perhaps we were all meant to experience "what was meant for each individual"........

Did time stand still???  We seemed to have been up there for ages..... in fact only about two hours!

Great lunch on the edge of Eden.........

Oh what have we done to destroy all of this?.... How lucky were the Aboriginals to have experienced this land before the greed of the white man.......

We all  need to wish for world peace...... As the saying goes "beware of what you wish for, it might just come true......"

An overall outstanding and deeply profound experience........
