The Ley
Line Group visits the Cathedral of Chartres
This page will have pictures added
very soon.
Robert and Susan visited the Cathedral of
Chartres south of Paris
together with other members of the Ley Line
Group.
The Templars
The goal was to find the creative spirit,
the inspiration
and the message of the Templars.
The Templars were building 21 cathedrals in
this area in a time span of about 40 years.
Why this enormous effort and how could this
be financed?
Is there a message in all this coming from
the Templars
towards us spanning the centuries?
Together we chose the Cathedral of Chartres
as a first object for study,
because the Cathedral of Chartres was given
priority by the Templars.
This cathedral was finished in one big
project
without break or financial hesitation
within 26 years.
The master builder of the cathedral had the
building plan
ready to start construction within a year,
which gives an idea of the high priority of
this cathedral!
When we are standing next to the cathedral we
get the idea of the beauty
and the enormous effort put forth to erect
this building
. We know that the stones for this building
came from a nearby quarry.
Pelgrims and local people were helping
to transport these raw stones to the
building site.
When the stones arrived at the building site,
the stones had
to be carved for their purpose and put into
place.
Many stones had to be shaped into the
beautiful sculptures
inside and outside the cathedral. All this
activity resulted
in a stable and powerful structure.
Megalithic monument underneath the
Cathedral of Chartres.
It was clear to the four researchers
(Robert Susan Judith and Ron)
that deep inside the hill under the
cathedral an ancient megalithic building is hidden.
It even feels clearly, that a cavity is
connected to this megalithic ancient holy site
which is a so-called dolmen or hunebed.
Julius Ceasar wrote about this hunebed in
his book about The War of Gallia.
He writes that this hunebed or dolmen is in
a place called Saint Fort.
This is also a name used for the hill under
the cathedral.
The healing well in the crypt of the
cathedral is also called Well of Saint Fort.
The healing well is more than 30 meters deep
and is square in some places.
This could indicate that the well was
constructed into a deep cave,
which means not drilled into the rock but naturally
inserted into a cave.
The hill upon which the cathedral is built
is cone shaped.
The top is about 70 to 80 metres high above
the surroundings.
The diameter at the foot of the hill is
about 800 metres.
So there is enough space inside the hill
for some cavity.
The North East side of the hill is very
steep with walled gardens connected by staircases.
Our feelings very strong, that an entrance
to a cavity
is on this steep side of the hill, maybe
even as part of a private house built into the hill.
The ancient dolmen of which we feel the
existence and
that is described by Julius Caesar is
somehow integrated
into an ancient little temple that is still
part of the crypt of the cathedral.
The stones of this ancient temple are too
hard to be handled by medieval builders
which indicates the ancientness of this
temple.
In ancient times builders had the knowledge
to handle this kind of stone,
but the builders of one of the five
cathedrals of Chartres could not have done this
, because they did not have to knowledge
and means to handle this type of hard stone.
This ancient temple is now called the
chapel of Saint Lubin.
The soils and bottom of the cathedral in
the centre of the building
has never been researched. Radar
measurements of the middle part
of the cathedral indicate in several places
ancient constructions.
Radar pictures are normally too vague to
see any shape or structure.
Anyway these measurements mean that there
is a structure of hard stone
in the middle part of the soil under the
cathedral in apparently two places.
An ancient Roman temple was certainly
standing directly
North East of the cathedral, directly adjacent
to the present building.
Earlier Cathedrals of Chartres
There were five cathedrals of Chartres:
The First Cathedral of which almost nothing
is known.
This cathedral was the first to follow the
alignment of the ancient buildings, existence 511 until 743;
The Mérovingian Cathedral, of which an
outline walls and building plan
seems to be clear, existence 743 until 858;
The Carolingian cathedral, like the other
buildings built in line
with the ancient temple in, existence
roughly from 858 until 1020;
The Well of Saint Fort is built into the
Carolingian cathedral,
until that time the healing well was
outside the building complex.
The cathedral built in Roman architectural
style in existence from 1020 until 1194;
The cathedral we see now in Chartres for a
big part financed and inspired
by the monk order of the Templars. Also
local royalty and
even local shopkeepers and workers have
contributed.
The West Side of the Cathedral of Chartres
is much older then
the main building of the cathedral.
Black Madonna is Saint Anna with God the
Child.
The cathedral is erected around the Black
Madonna.
This Madonna is not Saint Mary, but Saint
Anna the Mother of Mary.
The child she is holding is God the Child.
So in a way here is the same situation as
in the church of Anloo,
where also a hunebed is built into the
little church which was built by Saint Liudger.
This church at Anloo is also a place of the
ancient Goddess Anna,
from where the name Anloo comes.
Prof Marijah Gimbutas has uncovered the
fact that the Goddess with the “A”
was already venerated 300.000 years BC and
that the Goddess A
was venerated through all ages until
apparently today.
When the writings of the Old European
language will be translated in the future,
we will perhaps know more about the ancient
Goddess A.
Important is that also other churches of the
Templars
had very prominent chapels for Sait Anna.
The Temple Church in London had a very big Saint
Anna Chapel
connected to the choir.
No burials or dead bodies inside the Cathedral
of Chartres.
Very peculiar and important is the fact
that no burials
ever took place inside the cathedral. No
buried martyr or
saint is to be found in the whole building
complex.
This means that any entities that were
taking up contact
during our visits at the cathedral were
“real” entities,
not local people who stayed with their
grave,
but entities conveying messages about the
place and its meaning.
They could be Guardians or Receivers.
The message of the entities in the South
Portal.
When Robert is spoken to by entities in the
South Portal,
they have a real message. The message is
nevertheless unclear.
The message is about the fighting around
Jerusalem.
The message is about Alchemy.
The message is about the Mother saving the
souls in cooperation with God the Child.
The Labyrinth inside the Cathedral of Chartres
connected with the Vortex of Rebirth and
Eternal Life
Also peculiar is the labyrinth on the floor
of the cathedral
almost at the South entrance. The fact that
the clergy has destroyed
all other labyrinths in the cathedrals is
already interesting enough to look into this matter.
The labyrinth almost surely played a role
in an ancient procedure of finding eternal life.
The shape of the labyrinth is certainly
like a vortex.
Megalitihic monuments were meant to emplify
the Vortex they embraced and surrounded.
The labyrinth of Chartres is beautifully
inlaid with black and white marble;
at least it looks like marble. Normally the
labyrinth is covered with rows of chairs
more or less to hide the labyrinth. Only a
few hours a week the labyrinth is uncovered.
Why are those chairs placed over the
labyrinth?
Certainly not because of the thousands of
churchgoers.
The weekend we were there the number of
mass visitors was maybe a few hundred,
enough to fill a small corner of the
cathedral.
The dolmen around which the cathedral has
been built
has to do with the vortex of life giving
energy coming out of the earth.
Rebirth and life giving energy. So the
labyrinth is the vortex of life made visible.
Maybe the forgotten procedure of the
Labyrinth has to do with rebirth.
The ornament in the centre of the labyrinth
is gone since centuries,
apparently because of the French revolution
in 1773.
Although the cathedral is repaired and
restored constantly involving big amounts of money,
nobody gave it a thought to restore the
labyrinth with the vanished middle piece.
