Enchanted Rock ~ Stargate In The ‘Heart’ Of Texas

rockIn the southwest ‘hill country’ region of Texas lies the powerful and sacred dome of Enchanted Rock. Visible for miles around, the impressive dome rises some 450 feet vertically above base (1,850 feet above sea level). Revered by the Plains Indians for centuries, it spirals a potent crysto-electrical vortex. It is called the ‘Ayers Rock of America.’ Enchanted Rock is indeed one of the most powerful points in the southwest, and it holds a special relationship to Sedona, Stone Mountain and indeed Ayers Rock itself.

The hill country region is in itself a very unique area in the ‘heart’ of south central Texas.

A relatively small triangulated region about 180 miles on each side, the hill country has a remarkably condensed energy field, notably higher in frequency than the surrounding area, which creates a sense of well being. Energetically fed by a webbing of hydro-lines and a major telluric ley line, this energetic field is roughly triangulated by Austin, Llano and San Antonio. It encompasses

Kerrville, Luckenbach, Gruene, New Braunfels, Wimberley, San Marcos and Fredericksburg. The energy field is directly related to the higher quality of life and sense of well being that has drawn a number of intellectuals, artists and free thinkers to this area. For example, the hill country hosts the four largest universities in Texas, the state capital and a remarkable winegrowing region near Fredericksburg.

Nearby Austin is continually ranked as one of the top five quality-of-life cities in the country and is home to a sizeable artistic community of musicians, writers and sculptors. The harmonic frequency of this energy field is uniquely conducive to creativity, especially music. Many recording artists made their home in Austin, from Stevie Ray Vaughn to Willie Nelson.

The Edwards aquifer is contained within the triangulated region. As such, an intricate underground network of rivers undulate their way beneath filtering limestone, spouting to the surface as crystalline waters and ‘charged’ healing springs. Granite and quartz outcroppings mark the rolling landscape between Austin, San Antonio and Fredericksburg, and they act as conduits for the ley line that surfaces in the hill country from its source in the Yucatan. Several energetic centers exist within this charged triangle, the spiritual apex of which is Enchanted Rock, less than an hour out of Austin.

The Plains Indians of southwest Texas held the lavender granite rock in awe. Its name, translated from the Tonkawa dialect, is ‘Glowing, Singing Rock’. The dome does indeed make audible whale-sounding moans at night, a phenomenon explained by the condensing of the rock layers which cool rapidly after the warming sunlight fades into night.

In direct sunlight, the surface of Enchanted Rock does appear to emanate visible energy waves due to the heat mirage effect. Even more fascinating is the green-bluish halo that seems to surround the dome in the brief twilight of sunset. This eerie glow, extending from one to five meters above the granite surface immediately after sunset is not folklore. The phenomenon is easily and regularly observed. The luminous effect is brief, diminishing quickly as the rock cools. Scientists explain the glow as a solar heat radiation from the slightly radioactive granite. In other words, the rock is a giant solar battery, transforming absorbed solar energy into light as it is released.

Enchanted Rock is actually the obtrusive portion of a massive, ancient lava (magma) flow. The greatest part of Enchanted Rock is actually below the surface. And when magma is held under, it solidifies more slowly into coarse-grained rocks with larger, visible crystals. These are intrusive, or plutonic, rocks of which granite is the most common example. Some of the finest examples of crystals, such as quartz, topaz and tourmaline are formed from chemicals that have been dissolved in solutions within rock cavities. Here, they have both space and time to grow.
