Wollumbin is the name of a dormant volcanic plug located on the NSW side of the QLD border at Lat 28 23 58 Long 153 16 14 Apart from being the icon of the region
its summit is the first place in Australia to receive the sun's light and other energy's each day and the moon at night. It is a place of power and is considered to be holy ground to everyone who understands the spiritual significance of the place.

However there are concerns that this sacred site is being desecrated by the sightseers some 80,000 of them each year who climb to the summit to
look at the view.

The photo below shows the unveiling of a sign which asks visitors to not climb the mountain, thus respecting the wishes of the Elders.

The actual wording of the sign is as follows;

'Wollumbin [Mount Warning] has been a sacred place of great significance to
the people of Bundjalung since time immemorial.
Wollumbin, along with other significant sites in its surrounds, provides
a traditional place of cultural law, initiation and spiritual education.
Under Bundjalung law, only specifically chosen people are allowed on this mountain.
Climbing to the summit is against the wishes of Bundjalung Elders.
Visitors are asked to respect the cultural and historical significance of Wollumbin at all times.'

Like all crystal mountains Wollumbin is charged up by a clockwise spinning energy field which I call a charging field. One first encounters this force field just inside the forest after leaving the car park. I myself have not been to the summit since Harmonic Convergence back in 1987 and on that occasion I was in bare feet in the pouring rain. From that day on I realised the sacredness of the place and have been trying to help others understand that there are places that we should not go until we have purified ourselves by overcoming any unloving thoughts and fears. When I was on the Inca road in Peru I noticed that the temples had up to 12 stone baths going up the hill between the village and the temple which enabled purification rituals to take place. Most people today have no respect for anything sacred but I would hope this is just ignorance expressing itself for the moment and that people will respond to the wake up call that the planet has been giving out since the first atomic test. Isn't it obvious that we are on the road to our own destruction. How long can greed and ignorance prevail?

To Aboriginal people everywhere Wollumbin is the most significant holy site on the East coast of Australia. As Uncle Eric Walker said during the 2002 Wollumbin Festival it is the place where the Aboriginal Holy Men went to receive the word of God so they could teach those Laws to the people. It is no different to the Biblical account of Moses on Mt Sinai receiving the 10 commandments. These laws are universal truths that are relevant to all cultures in any generation.

What we need to look at today is how does one look after a holy mountain and what does ‘holy' mean anyway. Having spent many days dowsing ‘holy' places in many parts of the world I have been shown that all such places have a particular vibration which is unique to that place. This vibration is a strong Theta or Alpha brainwave entrainment field. This means that at certain places it is more conducive to slip into an altered state of consciousness, lucid dreaming, a trance state, communicating with the spirit world, channeling and other psychic phenomena. There is an accompanying feeling of ‘light headiness' and a ‘spaced out' feeling, which makes us feel a little less grounded in the physical world. The frequency of these vibrations also can affect the forms of objects in proximity. Frequency affects form and form affects frequency. This is a fundamental principle of tuned circuits in radio theory but in nature the same law applies. If we change the forms within our landscape we unknowingly change the frequency of the tuned circuit. In nature if the tuning goes out of resonance into dissonance then illness will follow. The life cycle of the insects goes out of balance and soon they become a pest, trees grown in woodlots are not the same as those in native forests, water courses exposed to the Sun pick up airborne pollutants and the water changes its vibration. Everything we do affects everything else in the circle of life. Land clearing, bush rock removal, fires, chemicals, mining and moving earth from one place to another are all examples of activities that will change the vibrations, the tuning or natural frequency of a place. There comes a time when the land cannot support healthy trees, birds, insects, animals and even humans. We have all tried to regenerate plants on desecrated land and it is very difficult when the tuned circuit is out of resonance. Survival rates are low and it takes constant energy in one form or another to redress the imbalance. When the tuned circuit of nature is brought into resonance it is no longer necessary to apply additional energy from an outside source. Everything grows and flourishes by itself.

In reference to Wollumbin, which is a huge tuned circuit with lots of smaller circuits within its field of resonance, all combining and inter-linked, land clearing is perhaps the single most destructive activity, which is changing the vibrations of the mountain. Mt Warning National Park is not Wollumbin but only a small part of it. Wollumbin encompasses the whole Caldera. So activities on private property are as critical as those in National Parks and State Forests as far as Wollumbin is concerned. So whatever is going on in the villages and towns around the Tweed Caldera is also affecting the vibrations upon the mountain.
