back to House of the Sun - back to My Spiritual Experiences

The following information is given for your reflection. It contains my experiences and possible interpretations. In the summer of 2000 I accidentally met a woman who had similar experiences. Life is full of mysteries and we do not know the end of it.

There is much debate about the so-called Face of Mars, a feature of a face that appeared on the surface of Mars, in the region of Cydonia, in a couple of pictures taken by the Viking spacecraft orbiting that planet.
NASA has always claimed that it is nothing but a trick of light, while other scientists who have examined the photos with computers claim that not only does the structure has the features of a face, but that some structures nearby are pyramids. The big problem with both claims is that the resolution of the pictures is just not good enough to figure out who is right.
I took the photo to a former friend of mine, a clairvoyant lady, whose psychic qualities I trust. I did not tell her anything about the photo, and she knew nothing about the Face of Mars. This was at a time when there was almost no publicity around this subject. When looking at the picture, she told me that a long time ago, at this place, where the photo was taken, very nice people were living. She got an incredible good feeling about the place. She held the photo in her hands for a long time. She probably saw a lot more, but did not tell me everything. At that time I was not that inquisitive, so I did not press for more information. Sometimes I wonder what other clairvoyant people would come up with.
A couple of years ago I read "The Face of Mars", by Rafael Rabdolfo. It left me in awe and wonder about this new mystery and possible implications about intelligent life in the universe. This activated a psychic link in myself to that subject. I have to add here that in the past I have had sporadic psychic experiences in my life before. That night, after reading the book, an unusual experience occurred to me; totally different from my usual dreams.
From extensive dream work in the past I am able to distinguish different types of dreams, and the following experience was totally different. It was short in duration (maybe ten seconds), my consciousness was very clear and lucid, my observation was detailed, and I perceived everything in color (my ordinary dreams are always in black and white).

During those ten seconds I stood in a building, of which I felt I was in the smaller part of its L-formed shape. (drawing to the left, perspective of the face was difficult to draw) My back against the wall I was looking out of a large window. Outside was the "Face of Mars", not as it is today, but as it was so many millenia ago when the Face and the building were still intact, and undamaged. The Face stuck out above the water level, in the center of a bay area. The bay might have been natural of origin, but the edge of it was (at least the part that I could see, in front and to the right in the distance) finished with a small stone wall, approximately two feet high. The building I was in was at the bottom left of the bay, and a small walk-way separated the building from the bay. That was it! A very short, but clear experience of an ancient Martian scene. To me it was not a dream, although I have no definite explanation to the nature of the experience.

Here is a drawing of the scenery from a bird's eye view.

A couple of months later I felt the urge to make a pencil drawing of the Face, based upon enlargements of the famous NASA pictures. Unfortunately the resolution of those pictures is too low, and the Face has well eroded after millions of years, to have a clear view of the structure. I felt the original features of the Face could be brought about by intuitively tuning into its appearance at the time when Cydonia was still inhabited by intelligent beings. The result is shown on the left. When was drawing this picture, and thus fully tuned into the structure, an unexplainable feeling made me draw a circle above the nose. I got the impression that at this spot is a raised, round platform, an integral part of the stone sculpture, on which one would stand to look clairvoyantly in any direction any distance. The platform would enhance considerably clairvoyant abilities for this purpose.
At a later date I had two dreams which gave me more information about the Face. In one of them, floating above the present day ruins of the Cydonia region, I did not see any pyramids (which does not mean they are not there), but my attention was drawn to a small, rectangular building, with thick stone walls, which had a door opening in the middle of the front wall.

The door was also made out of stone, and could slide between the outer and inner wall. Only a quarter of the door was visible. Next I was drawn, with irresistible force, to a doorway of a large building, possibly a kind of temple. My sight focused to the stone girder on which a kind of hieroglyph had been carved, It was as if I was intentionally shown this hieroglyph for some reason. I had no idea what it meant, or why it was shown to me.
In the other dream, I was shown a kind of pendant, similar to the old Egyptian breast plates. However this one depicted the Face. A voice told me that the Face was the actual face of a man whose nature we would best understood as a Martian Dalai-Lama, in the sense that he was a spiritually highly developed priest-king who led his people in all aspects of society, and who reincarnated again and again to fulfill this duty towards his people.
A circular structure between the eyebrows of the face?

I know, it's faint. two reason's for this: millenniums of erosion, and Nasa processes its pictures through various filters before releasing it to the public.
