 Dear Gary,

I'm sure Ward Ginn will be good enough to put his photograph of the
Sinclair
angel on the Sinclair discussion list so that all Sinclairs
and paragenetic
Sinclairs can share his astonishing 'discovery'.  Judy Fisken, who
was Curator
of the Chapel for 15 years, tells me that the 'blood' is fresh because
she had
never noticed it during her long years at the Chapel when she showed
numerous
people around the Chapel.

This may be (as I postulated in an earlier e-mail) a case of us not
noticing
the hole in the carpet because of our familiarity with the Chapel or it
may be
that it is just stone staining but, if so, why the right forehead which,
of course, 
has Masonic significance?

Again St Peter (with his piercing eyes) is looking directly at the angel
from
his site on the opposite wall of the crypt.  Perhaps, Ward would
also produce
the photograph of St Peter with his single key (rather than the more
usual
bunch) and with his penetrating stare which , as I have said, is directed
straight
at the angel with the Sinclair engrailed cross on a shield in her
hands.

Why have we not noticed this before?  The 'blood', the direction of
the stare,
the juxtaposition of the two statues?

Does this also point to the relevance of the engrailed cross in the
Sinclair
armoury; the importance of Rosslyn as a sacred centre; and the
urgent
need for Man to take a look at the direction in which he is 
heading?

Is the time ripe for an important revelation at this critical time in the
history
of the World when we are experiencing momentous shifts in global
energy
patterns and in Man's growing understanding of his spiritual
dimension?

If this is too far out for most people,  might I suggest a quiet
moment of
reflection and it will become clear.

"We are not human beings having a spiritual experience.  We are
spiritual
 beings having a human experience"   This is a far
cry from any religious
 dogma which, in the main, has stultified human growth for
centuries.  Earl
William Sinclair knew this so, at a time when books were being banned
or
burned, he left his message chiselled out in stone in a Chapel which
stands 
on a sacred site.
