PERU'S INCREDIBLE MACHU PICCHU is one of the twelve chakras of Gaia. Located in the heart of the Andes, it is a rite of passage for the dedicated pilgrim. There are but three ways to get there: helicopter, train or on foot. I chose the latter.

Tyb's Journal: Arrival!
Ragged and weather worn from 3 days of hard hiking on the Inca Trail, I peer downward from the narrow stone trail, 14,000 feet high on a jutting overlook in the Andes of Peru. I gaze at a sea of jagged blue peaks and the pinnacle island emerging from the mists in the center. The moment is molten. I sense the energy in a familiar, deeply felt wave of joy. As if in slow motion the wispy clouds are pulled back like curtains, revealing an exquisite vista, Machu Picchu, Lost City of the Andes!

Below me are pieces of an interlocking rock puzzle, lying in symmetrical ancient ruin. The terraced land looks like a green staircase. An impressive blue-green monolith, pyramid shaped, reigns backdrop to it all. Below, 6500 feet straight down, the mighty Urubamba River twists and coils around the base rock, serpentine. The pounding rapids impose a roaring hiss. I am hypnotized by the grandeur, enchanted by a mystical scene I have waited a lifetime to see.

I am seeing, for the first time, Machu Picchu, the most enigmatic and powerful telluric site in the Southern Hemisphere. The panorama is well publicized. True to form, Machu Picchu looks absolutely magical. Blanketed by the thick green jungle and surrounded by a corona of pointed mountain peaks, she is simply stunning. Partially hidden by the mystic veil of cloud forest, the heavens wink to open her vapor gown. I am in awe!

An hour passes. Weary and stiff after a 50-kilometer trek, I move forward toward the impressive ruins below with a renewed energy. Powerful high-end emotions flow, respect, awe, accomplishment and completion. The mysterious Incas may have been vanquished, and may not have discovered writing, but this view speaks volumes for who they were and the knowledge they accessed.

A hot shower is on my agenda, and two full days in the Lodge, adorned with a soft bed! My time will be wondrous, exploring, absorbing, climbing and meditating. It is the full moon of the autumn equinox.

Machu Picchu was hidden for over 400 years. Her beauty and mystery are only now revealed in the yellow solar burst that clear the morning skies and activate the warm life flow of this powerful sacred site

Discovery
It is thought provoking to consider that Machu Picchu was only re-discovered ninety years ago by American Archaeologist Hiram Bingham. His 1911 discovery brought about a flurry of interest. Fortunately, the academic notoriety provided immediate protection of the site. This was indeed, as it was meant to be.

It is the conventional belief that Machu Picchu was built by the Inca Ruler, Pachacuti, as a royal retreat and religious sanctuary in 1460-70. Its remote location, in nearly impassable terrain high above the Urubamba River canyon cloud forest, ensured protection. Travel was restricted on the high Inca trail except by Inca decree. The Incas were a regimented society, enlightened in many ways, but an enigma in others. Their history is clouded as no written language was ever developed.

Sacred Placement - Grid & Vortex
Machu Picchu was acknowledged and utilized as a sacred site long before the Incas. Evidence of usage from 2500 BC has been documented. It was a part of ancient LeMuria, and in that grid is triangulated with Hawaii and Easter Island.

Machu Picchu is situated in the core of a unique double vortex. This sacred energy is of massive potency. It is primarily female, Goddess in nature. The vortex is electro magnetic, meaning it has aspects of being both a magnetic (or inward pull) vortex and electrical (outward push) vortex.

The 'double vortex' is two concentric energy rings that act as templates for the both the magnetic and electrical vortexes around Machu Picchu. In this concentric circular template an outer energetic ring of clockwise motion draws energy into the perimeter of Machu Picchu. This magnetic vortex has a diameter of approximately 7-10 kilometers. The inner electrical vortex has a diameter of approximately 2 kilometers. It circulates counter-clockwise and is fed by an outpouring of vertical columns of light from locations within the inner circle. The opposite directions of clockwise magnetic (inward) and counter-clockwise electric (outward) telluric flows are unique. I have experienced similar patterns in the double concentric stone circles of 'groomed' ley line energy at Avebury Circle, but rarely in a fully natural setting. I do know that other patterns in this format exist in Hawaii craters and in the volcanic craters of Easter Island. In each location a unique 'anti-gravity' resonance is created

Creation & Protection
This energy vortex has been protected for millennia by extraterrestrials, who assisted in its creation. Machu Picchu was kept hidden the past 6 centuries by planetary guardians in order to prevent its pristine counter-spin energy from being thrown into imbalance. The greedy Spanish Conquistadors knew of the legends of Machu Picchu, but were never allowed to find and plunder the sacred site, even after the fall of the Inca Empire in the mid 1500's.

Present Day Inca Shaman say that the spirit of the Inca Goddess shrouded Machu Picchu in thick white cloud forests that made the shrine invisible to all would be exploiters. When Picchu was found by the Yale anthropologist Hiram Bingham in the 20th century, it was by divine plan.

The Goddess energy was emerging globally and ready to be revealed to a world that could now protect and prevent her degradation.

Conductive Mineralogy & Tellurics
The ancient ruins occupy about 5 square kilometers atop a flat shoulder of the geometric tetrahedron formation, 9000 feet high. Her base perimeter is hydro-energized on 3 sides by the class five rapids of the Urubamba River. The conductive mineralogy of Machu Picchu is granite, wafered with layers of serpentine, rose quartz, snow quartz, pyrite and jadeite. Thermal 'hot-springs' bubble at the fourth base parallel the granitic rock face. The telluric blend is intense, yet somehow very nurturing.

The energy of place in Machu is unclouded by the hundreds of visitors, pilgrims and tourist alike, who traverse the grounds daily. It is in fact enhanced by the overwhelming sense of reverence and awe that all feel when experiencing the structure and beauty of the serene Andean location.

Goddess Energy
As I am discovering more and more on my sojourns, it is indeed the wise female energy of the Goddess that is needed to balance our planet. The Goddess Energy present at Machu Picchu initiates all seekers with the light encoded energy emitted in perpendicular golden rays from the sacred earth inside the inner ring. All who receive it provide more balance to the planet, by achieving a greater balance within themselves. Machu Picchu has an energetic affinity with Glastonbury, as a balancing Goddess chakra of Gaia. She is also located as a gateway point on several grids, connecting her to Mu.

Energy Fusion
It was my experience that the most powerful points within the site are the Intihuatana Stone called the 'Hitching Post to the Sun' and the peak of 'Huayna Picchu' pinnacle. The two points communicate and fuse a male earth current to the pulsing female light energy, a sacred bonding. It is experienced best by visiting both of these points.

Yet having distinguished these two, I must clarify that the entire inner perimeter of the site is a virtual dynamo of pulsing light, and literally teeming with energy focal points. Other major sites are the Temple of the Sun, Temple of the Moon and the crevice cave of the greens.

Huayna Picchu is the 'Sugarloaf' monolith behind the ruins. A thin rock carved staircase switchbacks its way up the peak. The climb is about one hour for a fit hiker. It took me longer. It is not for everyone, but the peak and summit altar-rock are absolutely the most powerful point in Machu Picchu. The reward for the climb is immediate. There is actually a small temple about 70 feet below the pinpoint summit. From there the trail goes through a symbolic rock tunnel, a bit of a squeeze, but ends up with an incredible view 3000 feet above the ruins. There is a flat 'table alter' of gray granite 20 feet below the peak, on a small plateau. It is quite stable, and a virtual cornucopia of energy. It is large enough to recline on. The vitality emitted from the altar is riveting. The summit itself tapers to a point. It should be experienced. The entire energy from the pyramidal Huayna Picchu base cascades in a fountain here. It is blissful.

The second power point of Machu Picchu, from my perspective, was the 'Hitching Post to the Sun' It is located at a high point on the plateau of the ruins, carved from a granitic batholith outcropping. Machu Picchu, like many sacred Inca Temples, was an astronomical observatory. The 'Hitching Post of the Sun', is the Intihuatana stone of Machu Picchu. Intihuatana's were the point Inca's considered most sacred in any temple. It housed the deity, the God Force. In Machu Picchu it was uniquely fashioned (phallus) to serve as a solar calendar, a precise indicator of the winter solstice. On December 21st, the Incas' High Priest and Priestess conducted a ritual ceremony of 'tying the sun' to alter its movement, and bring on the new season. Thus the name. So sacred is its energy, Incas claim that when seekers pray at the stone the Intihuatana grants knowledge and visions to those pure in heart.

Intihuatanana
The darker forces of the Spaniards searched for and destroyed these magical Intihuatana. These were religious focal points, established by the Inca Shamen. Their crude and evil destruction was to demoralize and vanquish the Inca people. When the Intihuatana stone was broken at an Inca shrine, the Inca believed that the deities of the place died or departed. The energies were indeed thrown out of flow.

The Spaniards never found Machu Picchu, even though they suspected its existence, thus the potent Intihuatana stone and its resident energies remain in their original balanced flow.

However, the mountain top sanctuary fell into disuse and was abandoned some forty years after the Spanish took the Inca capital of Cusco in 1533. It was a planned dormancy, awakened now for the ascension!

Sojourns
Like many sacred sites in the world, I found it impossible to capture the grandeur of the Machu Picchu or the Inca Trail on film, or to describe it adequately in words. The centerpiece of one's sojourn is highly personal. For me the three days at Machu Picchu Sanctuary was almost a totally different experience than the truly awesome (and taxing) four-day Inca Trail trek. The latter was the preparation, in my case, for the former, and equally rewarding in a different sense.

In the Incan Andes there is much more to see and experience. I spent two days in Cusco, the ancient capital city of the Inca Empire, located at 11,000 feet in the base of a bowl. What a mega center! I also spent one day in the Sacred Valley of the Incas. While acclimatizing to the elevation in Cusco (preparation for the Inca Trail) one visits temples, ruins, views art treasures centuries old, passes through colorful open markets and explores some of the most impressive architectural feats in the world, including the Temple of the Sun and Sacsayhuaman. The stones used to build the temple and great walls of Sacsayhuaman fit so perfectly, it is impossible to slip even a razor blade between them. Incredibly, many of the stones weigh more than 100 tons each!

Salkkantay: Wild Spirit Protector - Inca Trail
The Inca Trail itself is a fabulous pristine trek of wondrous beauty. It winds through majestic and serene locations, emitting powerful energy. The guardian Spirit of the Trail is the highly visible, stunning 21,000 foot snow capped Mountain called Apu Salkkantay or Wild Spirit Mountain. The Incas held this male guardian spirit in great awe, and only the highest level of shaman was considered able to commune directly with the strong protective force. Incas felt the male energy of Salkkantay was bonded or mated to the female energy of Machu Picchu. I was keenly aware of Salkkantay's presence along the trek.

LeMurian Codes
I must also state that another energy center, perhaps less known, but of equal importance is Peru's Lake Titicaca. Kryon channeled that Lake Titicaca is a mega-vortex that balances the Southern Hemisphere, in a counter spin paired to the mega-vortex in Sedona, Arizona. The massive lake is at 13,000 feet, and extends itself into Bolivia. It is also electromagnetic and balances and anchors Machu Picchu. I plan to visit Lake Titicaca in March. I know it has the third LeMurian Code for me. More on that later.

I close by stating that Machu Picchu opened a door for me that I am still deciphering.

A light code was received, the second LeMurian code. A balance, unique to that energy, was given. The Inca Trail is the best way for a pilgrim to experience it. It is the labyrinth, the purification. I was 48 when I took the 50-k trek in September. I was determined; it was demanding, but I made it fine. There were people 20 years my senior passing me on the trail! It prepares one for the majesty ahead.

Though gentle in his demeanor, Tyberonn is a complex visionary with an intense interest in and communication with earth energies and metaphysics. There is more to him than meets they eye, and with a 6'5", 275-pound frame, a lot meets the eye! Family man, father, conservationist, and humanist, Tyb, who is employed in a senior management position with a global energy corporation, collects mineral specimens and coaches youth basketball on weekends.

Tyb has lived and worked overseas for more than 23 years in various capacities including stints as a field geologist and engineer. An ex-military officer and business major, his training in geology came with his employment in the petroleum sector in the mid 1970's. He became an expatriate in 1977. He describes himself as a " citizen of the world, whose nationality is goodwill". He is a conservationist, a member of the Sierra Club and a supporter of Greenpeace. Tyb is devoted to changing the energy industry from the inside, and is involved in all aspects of environmental protection, waste reduction, and supports sourcing of solar and renewable energies. He has lived in Canada, Brazil, Gabon West Africa, Congo, Venezuela, France, Scotland, England, United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Oman and India, and speaks four languages.

Tyberonn is an avid 'rock hound', and has filled his home with mineral specimens personally collected in the varied landscapes of the dozens of countries he has visited. His collecting grew to include gemstones while living in Brazil, where he studied gemology and eventually the metaphysical properties of stones and minerals. This further evolved into a level of spiritual communion with the landscape geology and an intuitive understanding of geo-earth energies.

His awareness of earth energies began at a very early age, in the crystal fields, mountains and lakes of his native Arkansas, and has remained his passion. He has in recent years studied earth energies through the culture & knowledge of the indigenous peoples and has completed three five-day vision quests in the mountains of Arizona and Mexico in the Lakota tradition. His fourth is planned soon. He travels globally in his employment and has been a student of the living energies of the Earth and all her telluric sacred sites for two decades.

Further details about Tyberonn’s journeys to some of the planet’s most sacred ‘hotspots’ can be found at his website http://www.lightworker.com/HotSpots/index.shtml.

Tyb describes his goals for the Hotspots website; "I have a great love and affinity for all the natural expressions of the living Mother Earth. I am especially fascinated by the amplified spiritual energies found in vortexes, grids, ley lines, and portals at the sacred sites. These energies are expressions not only of nature, but also of the Divine. I approach them with great reverence. They are our teachers. They can lead us not only to greater understanding, but are the very tools of the ascension. Recently I have observed that these energies are changing, speeding up It is my hope to share insights and knowledge to the readers in the sincere desire that they develop a greater awareness and love for our wonderful planet as we ascend to the next level."
