Bryan de Flores’ Thirteen Crystal Skull Accelerator Images
After our trip to Maui came a period with very limited focus on the portals. Almost all our energy was focused on a deeper understanding of the polyhedral fields of the crystal skulls. That changed in January 2002, when Jeanne and I attended a lecture/workshop of Bryan de Flores.9 Bryan had experienced a dramatic shift in consciousness in December 1996, and as a consequence, he became an artist and started to create what he calls “images from the Divine Blueprint.”
These extraordinary multidimensional images are accelerators to prepare humankind for the shift in consciousness that so many people believe is imminent. These images include thirteen accelerators with crystal skull images, each of which has a name connected with a civilization. At the moment he created the images, Bryan did not know anything about crystal skulls; he actually had not seen a crystal skull until after he had made them. During the lecture we attended, he showed the thirteen crystal skull accelerators, and the participants were guided into meditation to experience more deeply the energy of these accelerators. Jeanne and I were impressed, and we bought the set of thirteen crystal skull accelerators. These thirteen images started the next phase in studying the thirteen original crystal skulls.
In getting images of the thirteen crystal skulls without knowing anything about them, Bryan may have tapped into either the collective (un)consciousness or into the akashic records. Wherever his information and inspiration came from, I felt that it had something to do with the original crystal skulls. Bryan created accelerators, images that had certain energies. The question arose whether the energy of the crystal skull accelerators resonated in one way or another with the thirteen portals and the thirteen symbols I had made. I felt very strongly that this was the case. Could it be that each crystal skull has an energy signature that makes it resonate with one of the thirteen groups?
By that time, Jeanne and I were caretakers of quite a number of crystal skulls. We wondered many times why we felt guided to collect so many different skulls. We never got the answer but trusted that it was the right thing to do. Now I had the answer. In order to play with the energies and the possibility that there are thirteen energy groups, we needed to have enough crystal skulls to work with. Preferably we needed to have examples of each of the thirteen groups.
The process of feeling the essence of each of the thirteen groups and then feeling to which group each individual crystal skull belonged turned out to be more challenging than I had anticipated. It took us quite some time to get an understanding about the essence of these thirteen energy groups, and it took even longer to assign each crystal skull to one of the thirteen groups. Some of the crystal skulls have an energy that is strongly in alignment with the energy of one of the groups, so the energy is easily recognizable. Other crystal skulls have an energy that makes it less easy to recognize to which group they belong.
Soon we understood that the degree of activation also plays a role. The more a skull is activated, the easier it is to recognize the specific group signature. We also discovered that some crystal skulls have an energy that seems to be more diffuse, so it becomes more difficult to assign this crystal skull to a certain group. In such a case, we assigned the crystal skull to the group that felt closest. Once the crystal skull was placed in the group and we worked with it for a while, it became integrated into that group. Sometimes a crystal skull was assigned to a group, but then months later we came to the conclusion that it had been assigned to the wrong group. This process taught us a lot about crystal skulls and their energies. After we completed the process in 2003, we worked intensely with the energies of the thirteen groups.
Working with Portal Groups
After 2004 we no longer felt guided to continue working with the crystal skull accelerators of Bryan de Flores. In that period, our focus was on things other than the thirteen skulls. We were working again mainly with the process of activation and with PHFs. We did visit the portal in Sedona a number of times, but the focus on portals and crystal skulls seemed to diminish for that period of time [see Plate 18].
In 2005 we started organizing monthly crystal skull meditations in our house. This soon grew into a bimonthly meditation, and by the beginning of 2006, it became a weekly crystal skull meditation. With the support of the participants, we made it into a playground, creating many different energy fields supported by the crystal skulls. During that time, I was invited to give a lecture and workshop during a crystal skull conference in Holland, organized by Joshua Shapiro, which brought up a serious question for me: Did I want to share the information I had gathered about the portals and their connections to the star systems and to the thirteen crystal skulls? When I brought this query into the meditation group, everybody encouraged me to do so.
All the crystal skulls we had were in the large room that we used for the meditations. They were there constantly, but the configuration in which the crystal skulls were placed fluctuated. Jeanne changed the placement depending on the field she wanted to create, which in turn depended upon the focus of the meditation of that evening. At some point we organized the crystal skulls into thirteen groups based on their connection with the thirteen portals.
This time we did not include the accelerators of Bryan de Flores — they have their own unique function as accelerators, but their energies are not completely in alignment with what we were doing. The accelerators had fulfilled a function that led to a deeper connection with and a greater sensitivity for the energies of the crystal skulls in general and the thirteen portals and their characteristic energy qualities in particular, and I felt deep gratitude for that. However, it was time to continue on without them. Instead of the accelerators, we now placed the thirteen symbols I had made almost ten years earlier in the center of each of the thirteen groups [see Plate 20].
During the meditations, we invited the participants to choose one of the groups and to work only with the crystal skulls from the group they had chosen. Some participants worked with some of the crystal skulls of the group they had chosen; others felt that they needed to hold all of them. Jeanne introduced another way of working with a portal group. She placed the crystal skulls of a group around her and sat herself in the center. In that way, she created a situation in which she was the portal or doorway, open to receive whatever she could. Her example was soon followed by other participants.
After a couple of meditations, we realized that the energy of each of the portal groups became stronger. We changed the placement of the groups and located them in the circle relative to their respective portals’ actual geographical location in the world, which increased the energy again. Finally, based on our experiences and those of the participants, we attributed a keyword to each of the groups [see Table 6]. This changed the essence of many of the meditations. Initially people shared experiences that were clearly based on their experiences with individual skulls. After a while, however, the sharing changed. The experiences were still based on the connection with individual skulls, but more often people would start sharing experiences that were based on the essence of the energies of the portal groups. Every meditation evening brought a large variety of wonderful experiences.
The Satellite Portals
There was one final discovery that completed this phase of the connections with and understanding of the portal energies and groups. Using the RFITM method (see chapter 5), I wanted to measure Sam when he was placed in the center of the portal in Sedona. Unfortunately, the results did not help me gain any insights leading to a deeper understanding of the interaction of a crystal skull and the energies of the portal. Whatever the effects were, it was not measurable in the range from 1 MHz to 3 GHz.
In an earlier measurement, done without Sam at the same location, I had already discovered that when I measure the frequencies in the center of the portal at different heights, the frequency changes. Starting at ground level, the measured frequencies increased as they were taken at increasing heights. A couple of feet away from the cent
er, this effect was much weaker. However, there were three areas where I noticed a similar phenomenon as in the center of the portal. Here the frequencies of the measured energies also increased when I measured at increasing heights above ground level.
One of these places was where I had located an energy line that connected the portal in Sedona with the central portal near Rennes-le-ChE2teau. It is possible to dowse these connecting lines, and the measurements in megahertz supported the results obtained with dowsing. The RFITM measurements, however, suggested a second and third line. When I followed the second line, I connected to another smaller portal on a hill in front of Chimney Rock, about 1.8 miles south of the main portal [see Plate 19]. The Sedona portal had some kind of a satellite! Further research showed that the third line went to a place in Secret Canyon, about 2.8 miles north of the main portal. This means there are two secondary portals connected with the Sedona portal! Sitting on a secondary portal gives a similar feeling as the main portal — that each portal has its own crystal skull. The three crystal skulls connected with the three portals work together in a way that so far I have not been able to comprehend.
The question immediately arises: How many of these satellite portals exist? Does each portal have two additional portals? From the information I have gleaned through meditation, the answer is yes. Each of the main portals has two additional portals, which brings the total number of secondary portals to twenty-four and the total number of original skulls to thirty-six, with the addition of a central skull. I had come across the number thirty-six before in Mysteries of the Crystal Skulls Revealed. Sandra Bowen shared this during an interview with Joshua Shapiro and Jeff Cohen; the information was channeled. She was asked whether there were other crystal skulls on Earth like the Mitchell-Hedges Skull and the rose quartz skull Nick Nocerino had once seen: crystal skulls that are about human size and have a detachable jaw. Her answer was: “There are thirty six that are of different colors. They are clear, pure, radiant and placed all over the world in triads or groups of three.”10 It is interesting that I had found through dowsing and RFITM measurement similar numbers. The only difference is that she does not mention the central crystal skull. I see each “triad” as one energy system, which means that we fundamentally still talk about twelve energy groups with a thirteenth crystal skull that brings this group of skulls into one energy field, one field of information.
In the same interview, they asked Sandra Bowen whether there is a focal point where the energy of the thirty-six crystal skulls merges together. Her answer was that the culmination of their combined energy meets in a pyramid in the etheric plane over Tibet. She believes that for various reasons this focal point will eventually move to the Four Corners area in the southwestern part of the United States.11 Whether there is any truth to this is something that everybody needs to feel for themselves. I feel that the original focus point was in Atlantis. After the destruction of Atlantis, the survivors spread in different directions. One of the places they went to was the southern part of France, before most of the people moved on to Egypt. While staying in the South of France, the point near Rennes-le-ChE2teau was established. In my opinion, this is currently the focal point.
Reactivating the Portals
During my visits to the Sedona portal, a question came up. With exception of the portal in Mexico, why do I not feel powerful energy while I am at one of the portals? With my connection to the crystal skulls, I expected more of a connection with such a portal. The answer turned out to be very simple: These portals are not very active. Actually, the whole system of portals and supporting portals has a very low activity level. Either the portals were consciously deactivated, or the fact that people have lost their ability to connect with them has led to a deactivation. Whatever the case, I felt it was important to activate these portals again. Only when we have the ability to activate and connect with the portals will we be able to connect with the original skulls in their fullness and access the information that is connected with them.
At this moment (mid-2007), the Sedona portal is at 49 percent of its maximum activation. The Mexico portal is more active (59 percent of its optimum) and it had this level of activation when I went to it in 1996. I do not understand why this portal has this high level of activation compared to all the other portals in this system.
Besides the Mexico portal, the Sedona portal is for now the most active portal, mainly because it is also the center of the six-pointed star in the Sedona landscape. In the past few years (2004–2006), a number of activation ceremonies have taken place that have undoubtedly had an effect on the portal itself.12 Nonetheless, the activation is still rather limited, and this is even more true for the other portals. In other words, there is a lot of work ahead of us.
I do believe that we can do those activations from the comfort of our house. Whatever skull we have, it is connected to one of the portals. After activating your crystal skull, in meditation you can set as an intent that you want to activate the portal your skull is connected with. I am sure that when enough people do this, the portals will be activated again. I believe this will allow the information that is connected with the original skulls to become available. The more this information and these energies become available, the more it will support the evolution of our human consciousness.

Other Stories of the Original Thirteen Skulls
I have shared with you my discoveries about the legend of the thirteen skulls. I also have mentioned that my ideas have similarities to those of Sandra Bowen. It may be interesting to see what other people and traditions say about this legend.
Many people who work with crystal skulls have heard the story that Nick Nocerino is the one who brought the story of the thirteen crystal skulls into the world. There is no doubt that Nocerino believes in the story.1 Yet as we have already seen, this story or legend is older than the vision of Nick Nocerino. It is a story that has been told many times by different Native American elders as part of their tradition.
The Teachings of Harley Swiftdeer
The story I read in Kenneth Meadow’s book about the thirteen crystal skulls was shared again in The Mystery of the Crystal Skulls, where Morton and Thomas interview Harley Swiftdeer. Here he presents himself not as a Cherokee medicine man but as “the heyokah or war chief of the Twisted Hairs Society’s council of elders,” and he tells the story of the singing skulls and the Ark of Osiriaconwiya.
2 I would like to share some of his teachings.
The Twisted Hairs Society includes members from over four hundred different tribes from North, South and Central America. This means this story has a lot of weight, for it represents the essence of the Native American belief structure on this subject. According to his story, in the beginning there were twelve worlds with human life. These planets were also called the sacred twelve planets, or the Grandmothers. One of them was Earth, which according to Harley was called the planet of the children because it was the least evolved. To help the planet of the children, each planet decided to create a container for the sum total of all of their knowledge. These containers are the crystal skulls — each not just a crystal skull, but a flawless, perfect crystal skull with a detachable jaw. They were referred to as the singing skulls.3
The entire configuration of twelve crystal skulls was known as the Ark of Osiriaconwiya. The elders brought the Ark to the Earth and began to work with the people and teach them. According to Harley Swiftdeer, they helped the people of Earth to build four civilizations: Lemuria, Mu, Mieyhun and Atlantis. They used the knowledge of the crystal skulls to begin the great mystery schools, the arcane wisdom schools and the secret medicine societies. Through them they spread the information.4
According to Swiftdeer, the information — does he mean the crystal skulls? — arrived approximately 750,000 years ago, and it began to disseminate on Grandmother Earth around 250,000 to 300,000 years ago. It is not clear where in time he places the four civilizations that the elders helped to build. Swiftdeer tells us that the twelve crystal skulls were kept inside a pyramid in a circle with a central skull that was larger than the others. The thirteenth skull represented the collective consciousness of the world.5
