As a lifelong Catholic, I am deeply touched, nurtured, and strengthened by partaking in the Eucharist--receiving the Body of Christ.
Catholics believe that they literally eat the body of Christ when they take Communion. It is something they take into their bodies and physically become one with Christ, Who is nothing other than the Creator.
I believe that if something is true, then it is true at the physical, mental (emotional), and spiritual realms, too. If something is true "above," then it should be found "below," and visa versa. Catholics and other Christians who celebrate the Eucharistic Rite are given a gift that is precious beyond measure, but seldom understood beyond the basic teachings in the Catechism or the equivalent.
There is nothing other than anointed materiality because everything that is manifested is the Creator--the Mystery of Unity--experiencing the Creator's Self, in, through, and as every seemingly finite event which expresses itself as a particular entity, whether at universal levels or at subatomic levels.
Furthermore, though every thing is supremely sacred just by existing, it is also true that when a thing is received as sacred, and celebrated through some concrete experience at some particular time and place, then its sacramental nature is revealed, received, and shared. Our investment of our energy, love, and honor can actually actualize transdimensional properties of a thing and bring those properties into this particular realm of existence--a bandwidth of consciousness whose metaphysical structure usually only allows for its environment to be perceived through our five senses.
Catholics believe that to eat the Body of Christ is to participate in the divine fullness of God where all things, all people, all universes, all angels--everything--is present, in, through, and as the consecrated host.
They believe this because they assert that God is everywhere and universally present, and Christ is God's revealed infinite nature in the immediacy of the finite concreteness of the consecrated bread and wine. The Mystery of Unity is literally packaged up into small bites so that we third-density beings--seemingly finite creatures--could slowly digest the immensity of it all.
As Augustine said, "We become what we eat" [https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/column/52131/you-are-what-you-eat]. Indeed, for those who eat the Eucharist, the only appropriate response to such a supremely sacred undertaking--literally participating in God's own process of becoming--is to return the honor with the wholehearted gesture of thankfulness. Of course, for those of you who are familiar with this type of liturgy, you know already that "Eucharist" means "thankfulness."
And I believe the same thing is happening in, through, and as crop circles, even those which are made by humans. Does this surprise you?
I am struck by the fact that crop circles take place in fields of crops which are normally harvested and eaten by us. Like the Communion host, crop circles seem to transubstantiate ordinary wheat (or any other crop) into sacred geometry--which points to the mystery of the very structure of God's own Body manifested as manifestation. Moreover, many crop circles present in 2D many mysteries which can be unpacked into 3D visual images.
When Catholics behold the Body of Christ, they encounter the entirety of the Mystery of Unity. Participating in Adoration heats the heart in the divine fire of love as well as elevates the imagination into a numinosity which can only perceive and behold.
The same kind of sacred invitation into the mystery--the Mystery of Unity--is given to us through crop circles which appear to be given to us by non-third density beings; by aliens or other-dimensional beings.
What might they be saying about the Mystery? Whatever it is, one thing is for sure. The wholeness of the sacred universe, whose form is structured by sacred geometry, exists inside of you and me. We are that Mystery. And when we behold It in some external form, then we can participate in that Mystery, too.
What we eat is that Mystery. How what we eat unifies itself with us inside our bodies is the process of sacred geometries catalyzing into complexities of shape that bespeak the metamorphosis of the divine metabolic liturgy; a Eucharistic liturgy that is re-enacted inside the temples of our bodies.
For Catholics who are used to seeing the Body of Christ adorned in the Monstrance, be not afraid if the Monstrance happens to be the size of a wheat field.
