On my trip back from Chile in 2008, the sheng canopy was overhead from Santiago to about the southern border of Mexico, and then from about San Diego on home.
          But since then the strength of the sheng canopy , where present, had increased; it would extend further than formerly with each newly opened latent vortex, and had even been extending on its own. I suspected that it had spread over Mexico in the interim, but needed to find out for sure. Ale and Javi had told me that they would join me in Mexico at some later date, so in the winter of 2009 I wrote Ale if early 2010 would be a convenient time for them.
          He said that they would have time in January, but that due to unrest in Mexico, Guatemala just to the south might be a better place to travel. I agreed, and he recommended Tikal in particular as an interesting place to visit.

          The ancient Mayan city of Tikal dates back nearly to the time of the Iliad and the Odyssey, and during the Golden Age of ancient Greece was a great city of pyramids and temples. This was the beginning of the classic period of Mayan civilization, and it continued as an important city for another millenium and a half, until sometime in the tenth century AD, when it was abandoned to the jungle. Archeological restoration was begun in the mid 1950's, and it is now a national park, located in the northeastern part of Guatemala, west of Belize City.
          There is good cheap communication by land from Belize to Tikal, so we elected to meet in Guatemala City, fly to Belize City, and take a bus thence to Tikal.

          My flight to Guatemala City left from Chicago at 2AM, and as I fell asleep shortly after take-off, still did not know upon arrival, whether the sheng canopy covered Mexico. Our flight to Belize (formerly British Honduras) had been moved up two hours, which prevented me from making connection.
          We were forced to stay in Guatemala City for a day. Ale told me that the travel in the city was somewhat dangerous outside of the hotel area, due to roaming gangs of robbers.
          Across the valley of the city however ranged some impressive mountains, on one of which was arrayed an extensive group of cellular and other types of towers. We decided to hire a ride up there, and see what we could do about reducing the sha qi . There was a sha line going through the towers. We found and exploited a good place on the line to place an array of 6 TBs , with the result that the whole area of the mountain turned positive. It was a good feeling that afternoon, walking back along the road through the trees to where our driver was parked.

          Next day we flew west to Belize City, whence we took a van/bus east, across the Guatemala border, on to the Tikal National Park.
          We arrived just before dark, and the park was closed for the night. Years before, Javi's father had seen the sun come up from the top of the highest temple, and she wanted to repeat the experience. The park opened at 6AM and sunrise came at 6:15. Since the temple was too far into the park to reach and climb in 15 minutes, she inquired if there were any way we could enter earlier. Turned out that there were some professional photographers which had hired one of the park guides to take them in early, and for a modest contribution, the guide offered to let us come along too.
          Shortly after our bus had left Belize City that afternoon, I had noticed the presence of a strong latent vortex far to the west, and throughout the trip it continued more or less to be in our direction of travel. When we drove into the Park somewhat after 5AM the next morn- ing, I noted that it was right in the park, but due to the dark and fog could not pinpoint it as we drove along.
          We made it up to the crown of the temple before daybreak, but the fog was so thick that morning, we could not see the sunrise.

          I was somewhat in a hurry to complete the opening before other visitors should come in from the park entrance, and so omitted to first feel down in the earth below the temple structure.
          Quite soon after placing the TB qi began to bounce up and down within the structure, and it was only then that I observed the situation down below.
          There were two distinct thin levels of sha qi below, the qi in the structure repeatedly bouncing off the upper one up to the top, and then back down again.
          This continued for just a short time, until the two negative levels were pierced, and then sheng qi surged up from the large reservoir reaching deep below, up through the top of the temple into the sky.
          The only vortices I recall that perhaps matched this one in strength and volume were the one in Magaliesberg in South Africa and one in the Atecamba in Chile.

          By now there were other people exploring the park and we wandered about among them, viewing and marveling. When we came to the main square of the city, the feeling was rather negative, which turned out to be due to a sha line flowing through it. There was no secluded place on the square to repair the line, so we went outside the square, and I climbed partway up a hill between the square and the path leading into the park, to find a place on the line where one could position 6 TBs. After burying them, I started back downhill. It was somewhat steep, I lost my footing, and had to stop a headlong descent by grabbing a tree. From the tree I came clumping down fast again, startling a new visitor coming up the path. When we returned to the city square however, we found the feeling of the place quite positive. Ale in particular noticed it: his sensitivity of these things has increased markedly since I met him some two years previously.
          At one point we came to bowl-shaped site, which reminded me of somewhat similar places I had seen in Africa and Chile. Here, as in some of the places in northern Europe surrounded by stone circles, I was requested by a respectable entity to re-initiate a circular flow of sheng qi around the natural boundary. As before, I had to position myself in the center, fix my gaze on a point of the boundary, and turn about in a counter-clockwise manner (as viewed from above). After several minutes, when the turning had increased to somewhat of a whirl, I could feel the sheng qi moving rapidly around the upper part of the boundary. Now however something began to interfere with the process.
          I slowed to a stop and looked around. There were several people coming over the top of of one of the hills which formed the boundary, so I paused to let them pass on through.
          Ale and Javi had been standing over on one side quietly observing, and one of the people who had come over the hill walked over and struck up a conversation with them.
          Meanwhile I was engaged in running from one place along the boundary to the next, arranging the qi in various places preparatory to another turning session. When this phase was completed, the man who had been speaking with Ale and Javi walked over to me. He stared at me in a quite serious way, and in Spanish, asked if I spoke Spanish. I said that I did not, only English, and noticed that he wore some quite curious objects about his neck.
          Ale told me later that the man was apparently a Mayan shaman, and that he was concerned that I was practicing some sort of black magic. Since I could not speak Spanish, I spoke to him in that curious language that ones soul sometimes uses to speak directly with another soul. I suspect that his conscious mind did not directly understand the words, but on some level he did understand, for his attitude lightened, and he went back to the side while I finished the process of getting the sheng qi whirling about the boundary of the area: now turning below as well as above.
          When done, I walked over to the three of them, and with Ale and Javi acting as interpreters, explained that my actions were not of my own initiation, but at the request of a quite respectable entity there. I do know know how much he believed me, but he did invite me to visit a special cave nearby. I accepted and we all walked a little way off to where there was a chamber in the rock in which a candle was burning.
          There was a strong respectable entity inside, and the shaman invited me to go in and meditate. I went to the entrance, knelt down to pay respect, and asked if there were anything I could do for it. There was, and afterwards, I turned back and we four spoke again.
          I will respect the privacy of the man and the place, and not speak more about that here.
          The shaman was some sort of groundskeeper for the park, and he had been looking for us to show up.

          We left the park just before noon, and spent the night in the Guatemalan city of Flores, traveling back to Belize the next day. Several days later I left the country, flying north to Houston, in clear weather. During the first part of the trip the vortex in Tikal was easily detectable from the plane. During the entire trip, over Belize, Guatemala, Mexico, and Texas, the sheng canopy was present overhead and strong.

          On all of the the plane trips of the week, whenever the visibility was sufficient to observe, I noted that there were plenty of swirls of sheng qi coming down from the sheng canopy into the ground, as described in the previous chapter.
