In August, 2011 Robbert moved from Hoeven into his own apartment where anomalous events continue to occur. With help from friends his own web-site is beginning to take shape and the taping of interviews with some of Robbert's clients has begun. These interviews with people who have come to Robbert for "readings" and/or "healings" are my favorite part of Robbert's website so far, because we can hear some of his clients recount their various experiences with Robbert in their own words.

These interviews (currently only in Dutch) are both intriguing and quite varied, and as soon as possible English sub-titles or over-dubs will be added to as many as possible. Whle waiting for some of the English translations to be added here are two events which occurred just before Easter, 2012 which continue to suggest the spiritual nature of these "energies" with which Robbert is in contact.

Marij van Dam http://www.witteveder.nl/index.htm

Marij van Dam, a Dutch woman who is known as a "spiritual therapist" in the Netherlands, first met Robbert when he was only 15 years old. At the time she was living in Hoeven and had seen a newspaper article about the crop circles and Robbert's fore-knowledge of their occurrences and, so, made an appointment with him to discuss the circles and the other strange events which had already begun to occur around Robbert with some regularity.

They became friends and she did what she could to help Robbert cope with some of the social isolation associated with his situation, telling me that she realized Robbert was "very special, incredible" during her first meeting with him. Some years later she and her husband moved from Hoeven, but she stayed in touch with Robbert, visiting him in Hoeven from time to time.

Marij's birth family -- Vincent in the center of top row.

Marij (whose family name was Buil) suffered a tragedy at the age of 11 when her favorite brother Vincent, only 13 years old at the time, was struck by a car and killed on April 1, 1962. Vincent had liked to draw and shortly before his untimely demise had drawn a picture of what Marij described to me as a "buzzard," but which looks more like a juvenile eagle (the hooked beak in Vincent's drawing is like an eagle's and young eagles' have brown plumage).

Since Vincent's death she has remained fond of birds, and continues to associate the memory of her brother with this particular image -- she said she thinks of him as a "falcon."

Not having seen Robbert in some time she had called to see when she might make an appointment to visit him again. She wanted to know if Robbert would do "readings" for two of her friends, whose photos she planned to bring with her. By coincidence the date set for her appointment with Robbert was on April 1st.

Because Robbert doesn't drive she picked him up during the afternoon and they rode together out to the fields, talking about the on-going saga of the crop circles and other events in both their lives -- and then drove to McDonalds to pick up dinner to enjoy back at Marij's hotel. During dinner she brought out the photos of her friends and Robbert did the "readings" as requested (using the photos). Marij also asked for some guidance in regards to her son, which Robbert was able to provide.

Neither Marij nor Robbert were discussing Vincent during this visit and, as it was late when the "readings" were completed, they prepared for Marij to drive Robbert home. As they were leaving the room (at about 12:30 am) Robbert suddenly became aware of the very strong presence of Vincent around him and he asked Marij if she wanted him to take some photos. Marij got her camera (a Sony Cyber Shot DSC-W310) and handed it to Robbert, standing right with him as he took just a few shots -- on the first of which appeared this image of a magnificent young eagle.

Only a few evenings later (Good Friday, April 6th) Robbert and I were on SKYPE, as we often are. Except during my first visit to his home 14 years ago, it has only been recently that I have begun to experience again the same strange "tingling" sensation that Robbert apparently always does when something unusual is going on -- but on the night of April 6-7th while talking with Robbert on SKYPE I felt this sensation becoming very strong as we talked. The whole top of my head was tingling in the same way my upper body had during that first visit to Robbert's house in the late 1990s. Robbert's friend Stan was with him that night and he felt it also -- all three of us sensed that something was "getting ready" to happen.

Around 12 midnight in Holland Robbert asked if he could SKYPE me back in a few minutes, to which I said "yes," knowing I might hear from him again that night or -- just as likely -- I might not. After waiting for an hour or two I closed down the computer, wondering if there would be something interesting from Robbert the next time I turned the computer back on.

As many times as I have experienced strange things with Robbert I never would have imagined the image that appeared on his camera that night. Neither of us adhere to any traditional religion but we do understand the important role formal religious practice plays in many people's lives. And both of us do believe in a "greater" creative principle or force, in spite of the fact we are not church-goers.

April 7, 2012 @ 12:48am (original, slightly cropped). Digital camera set on a tripod w/automatic timer -- with Stan watching as the photo was taken.

After hanging up Robbert had felt the "energy" we were experiencing while on SKYPE intensify and he got the "message" again that there is only one consciousness, one loving, compassionate Source -- and that we all come from it and are all part of it. He put the digital camera on a tripod, set the timer, and then stood in front of the lens and "focussed on the energy" as the camera took one photo.

Symbols for 9 religions (and 3 planets or solar systems?), as well as a white heart (with what Robbert thinks is the "earth" inside it) appear on the photo.

I've added the names of the various faiths associated with each of the symbols which appeared in this photo and Stan (who was present and watching Robbert as this photo was taken) translated into English for me more of the "message" that Robbert "heard" as this photo was taken:

"We all came out of the same loving Source...and it doesn't matter how you call it. People may choose for themselves whatever name they like and they must not fight about it.

The message is also that a new consciousness is arising in people so each can experience the Source in themselves, so each of us can develop a personal intimacy with this most deep, most truthful, essence. As this relationship develops everyone will know that this great "energy" does not punish...and we must learn forgiveness so we can live together in peace."

Over the years a number of crop circle "patterns" which have appeared in England and other countries look like symbols associated with one formal religion or another (in spite of the fact that many "croppies" don't follow any formal religious practice). The most common such symbol to appear in Dutch crop circles (Holland is a primarily Catholic country) has been the Christian Cross.

Another symbol which has, so far as I know, appeared only once in a crop circle context occurred in 1995 at Telegraph Hill, Winchester (UK) next to a more "typical" crop formation in barley. The very wide ring and circles had occurred first and displayed a beautiful undulating lay in the flattened crop -- but it was the Sanskrit "Om" symbol which appeared several days later which really triggered my curiosity.

The 2012 crop circle season has begun and, as of this writing, there are 6 formations in Holland already. Photos of Dutch crop circles are posted in both the Crop Circle Connector's "World" section and on Robbert's new web-site: http://www.robbertvandenbroeke.nl/graancirkelarchief.
