Unveiling the Hammond-ASET Line

• 🗺️ The discovery began with the book "Spirit in Stone," which highlighted the Hammond-ASET line, a significant lay line stretching from Long Island to the Great Lakes.
• 📌 This line is marked by numerous unexplained Native American stone structures, primarily aligned with the equinoxes, suggesting an ancient astronomical calendar.
• ⛰️ The Catskill Mountains, known as the "Gate of the Gods," are part of this line, with peaks forming a spiritual right of passage for ancient peoples.

Diverse Ancient Cultures and Structures

• 🌍 The book "The Guia Matrix" further revealed Peter Champoux's "Chakra Lay Line" passing through Steeves' hometown, reinforcing the significance of these energetic pathways.
• 🗿 Steeves discusses various stone structures, including pedestal boulders and stone chambers, noting their resemblance to megalithic sites in Europe and questioning their builders.
• 📜 Evidence suggests the presence of various ancient cultures in America, including Scandinavian, Irish, Welsh, English, and even Iberian and Egyptian, long before Columbus.

Giants, Mythology, and Energetic Properties

• 🗿 Native American lore speaks of giants like Hobomok, whose actions are said to have shaped the landscape, such as rerouting the Connecticut River and forming Sugarloaf Mountain.
• ⚡ The pink granite used in significant landmarks like the Lincoln Memorial and Statue of Liberty is believed by some Native American tribes to be the flesh of giants, hinting at a deeper connection.
• 💡 Steeves theorizes that these stone structures, particularly pedestal boulders, generate significant electromagnetic energy and piezoelectric forces, potentially promoting life and healing.

Portals, Nature, and Modern Interpretations

• 🌀 The concept of "Spirit Portals" is explored, suggesting that certain stone formations might act as gateways, possibly activated under specific conditions.
• 🌳 Steeves posits that paranormal phenomena, like Bigfoot or Dogman sightings, could be Mother Nature's response to humanity's disconnect from the environment, a way to restore balance.
• ✨ He encourages a shift from a materialistic mindset to one of reverence for the Earth, viewing natural sites as sacred cathedrals where one can commune with the divine.

Discovering New England's Hidden Symbols

• 🪨 The discovery of a six-foot-tall standing stone and an anvil-shaped perched boulder, resembling a bird facing west, further illustrates the hidden symbols in the New England landscape.
• 🐦 The bird-shaped stone, situated on the Hammond-ASET line, is speculated to be linked to a Great Blue Heron, possibly connected to a past act of saving a bird.
• 🧭 Steeves shares his booklet, "S.E.E.E.N.," which offers methods for exploring altered states of consciousness to uncover hidden sites and understand the energetic language of stone structures.
