A few days ago (the 3rd of March 2023) I learned that the Riddarmansberget hilltop near our house here in Fiskars, Finland is another Kachina portal. A Kachina portal right here in Fiskars!
My family and I had climbed up on top of this hill on this day, as we do on most days, in order to get our daily exercise and to take in the beautiful views from up there. And as I do on most days, I was the first to reach the top. As soon as I did, the central tree on top called me over and asked for a hug. Now that I think about it, I don’t remember ever being addressed in this way by a tree before, but at the time I didn’t give it a second thought and just gave the tree a big hug. I felt a deep, warm energy flow through as I did, which made me wonder why I hadn’t done this before on any of the other trips up here.
Then, just as we started building little shelters in the snow, I heard a voice call to me from the tree once again. This time I understood that the voice was coming from the Kachinas—which took me by surprise, given that I hadn’t been in touch with them in Finland before—at least not on a conscious level. I greeted them, and they told me, “We are the guardians of this portal. That is the reason you feel such a strong connection to the D.H. Lawrence Ranch when you’re up here. You are recognizing our energy here just as you had in Taos, even if you haven’t been aware of it yet.”
That felt exactly right, but I didn’t give it a lot of thought at that moment, being happily engaged in family fun in the snow. It’s a curious thing these days—the matter-of-fact feeling behind these spirit encounters in my otherwise normal daily settings. And now as I write these words, I am realizing that this is one of the key points of this interaction: We don’t always need to go to some exotic or outwardly symbolic place to be able to get in contact with the spirits. We live among and breathe in the textures, so to speak, our spiritual neighbors in every moment of our existence.
There is never a moment when we are not a part of our larger planetary Soul family. The key is the recognition that we can foster our consciousness of this constant fact, this universal gift. The Mystic isn’t the person who manages to make contact with the spirit world but, rather, the person who becomes conscious of our always participating in such otherwise occult streams of relationship.

Wheeler Peak
Anyway, while I hadn’t spent very much time in conscious communication with the Kachinas on the hilltop that day, they nevertheless remained a constant presence in my conscious and unconscious rhythms afterwards. Two days later I climbed back up, alone this time, specifically in order to communciate with them directly, video-taping myself on my iPhone. The video didn’t turn out to be what I was hoping for, but recording it gave me a chance to process some of my thoughts about this most recent Kachina experience, which I will recount below. But the main take-away from the Kachinas on that day, besides confirming my earlier sense that this hilltop is indeed a Kachina portal, was their presentation of an etheric version of New Mexico’s Wheeler Peak towering above the hilltop to the east.
Wheeler Peak itself is 16 kilometers (10 miles) from the D.H. Lawrence Ranch as the crow flies, which in Fiskars terms would roughly be on the north-south axis right between Mustio (Svartå) and Fagervik if this physical translocation were taken literally.
But whatever we make of the etheric-to-physical translation here, the key element of the translocation effect for me was reduplication of the energetic signature of Wheeler Peak’s presence as I feel it at the Lawrence Ranch. The Peak itself can’t be seen from the Ranch because Lobo Peak, Perra Peak, and Gallina Peak surround Kiowa Village, blocking any surface-level view of Wheeler Peak. In any case, it’s likely that the energetic signature that I perceive encompasses a mass larger than Wheeler Peak itself and probably takes in most of the inner land mass within the Enchanted Circle, the 84-mile (136 km) roadway sytem that encircles this northern section of New Mexico’s Sangre de Cristo Mountains.
But my consciousness, now just as whenever I have been in Taos, is always drawn up to Wheeler Peak, even though I have never climbed to the top.
Interestingly in this regard, I had hoped to climb to the top of Wheeler Peak to celebrate my 60th birthday (on 30 June 2017). But as it turns out, I had a stroke instead! In one way or another I was preparing to have my mind blown. That was the summer during which I wrote my essay on Laguna Pueblo writer Leslie Marmon Silko’s book Ceremony, a novel I had taught every year since 1987. The conclusion I arrived at—which truly blew my mind—is that attentive readers function as avatars of the gods that oversee the development of the narratives we are drawn to participate in. And this notion of reader-as-avatar remains key to my entire understanding of discipleship as a whole, in ways I will one day develop more fully. But in any case, Wheeler Peak has been a significant presence in my life since I first saw it in the Fall of 1980, shortly after moving to New Mexico after graduating from college. So I shouldn’t be surprised, I suppose, to find this etheric version of Wheeler Peak right here in my most inspiring spot in Finland.
Interesting as well is that part of the same mountain mass that culminates in Wheeler Peak is another height called Kachina Peak (crow-fly distance from Kiowa Village being 13.55 km or 8.42 mi). I only learned of this yesterday as I was studying the topographical maps of Taos County. I don’t know yet exactly what role this peak plays in this unfolding drama, but it seems more than coincidental (in the colloquial sense) that such a twin peak exists right there hugging Wheeler Peak. It also seems more than accidental that I would discover this peak during the same week I discovered the Kachina Portal and the etheric Wheeler Peak right here in Fiskars.
Location Equivalents
This search for terms and understanding has itself led me into some amazing synchronicities that strongly suggest that this search is part of a much larger moment of learning for me. Last October I began a much more concentrated attempt to come to an understanding of the fact that for two years now I have had the experience in Fiskars when on top of Riddarmansberget (which I might start referring to as Kachina Peak) that I was both in Fiskars and at the D.H. Lawrence Ranch at the same time. At least as early as summer 2021 I had become aware that this hilltop expresses the exact same energetic signature as the grounds around the cabins at the D.H. Lawrence Ranch outside of San Cristobal, New Mexico just north of Taos. When I am on top of this hill in Fiskars I feel deep in my bones that I am in both places at once.
When I first tried to describe this experience and find a proper geomantic word for it, on 10 October 2022 I asked the following question in two places on Facebook, the Ley Lines and Earth Mysteries group page (https://www.facebook.com/groups/19213553166/) and my own profile page (https://www.facebook.com/gabriel.hartley.92). I got a wide range of provocative suggestions in both Facebook settings, such as “quantum entanglement,” “spooky action at a distance,” “superposition,” “synchronicity,” “astrocartography,” “morphic resonance,” and more.
This has led me to all kinds of speculations regarding wormholes and singularities and the nature of such portal connections. I’m sure that there is probably an infinite number of types of portals, so this is my attempt to come to terms with this particular kind of portal experience. A key aspect of this experience centers on the sense that I am not really in two places at different points on the globe—New Mexico and Finland— as if my consciousness expands over the surface distance of 8,310 kilometers or 5,163 miles that separate these two geographical points. Instead, these two geographical points overlap and and converge into one singular point in this experience. It is not a question of travel, then, but of coincidence in the technical sense.
The Online Etymology Dictionary tells us that the word coincidence was coined c. 1600 and meant:
“exact correspondence in substance or nature,” from French coincidence, from coincider, from Medieval Latin coincidere, literally “to fall upon together,” from assimilated form of Latin com “with, together” (see com-) + incidere “to fall upon” (from in- “upon” + combining form of cadere “to fall,” from PIE root *kad- “to fall”). (https://www.etymonline.com/word/coincidence)
At this moment in time I imagine the nature of this coincidence to be like the folded string in the novel A Wrinkle in Time or depictions of the Einstein-Rosen Bridge used to illustrate the structure of wormholes.
In my search, I was led to ask Monitor about this experience, to which they responded in the following exchange in Explore! vol. 23, no. 4 (12 October 2022), pp. 5-6:
PATRICE: This question is also from Gabriel. “I’m trying to find a word (and beyond that, any works that explore the implications of such a word) for the phenomenon in which the Earth energies of one spot are replicated in another spot, as though a portal caused two spots in different points of the globe to communicate with and replicate one another. For example, a spot in the forest behind my house here in Fiskars, Finland, replicates the energies of a spot at the D. H. Lawrence Ranch north of Taos, New Mexico so perfectly that I am in both places simultaneously, as if space were nonexistent and yet still magically resonant as the charged capsule in which this sympathetic topical reduplication vibrates. Are there any significant examples of two or more spots resonating with one another in this way? If so, what might be behind this phenomenon?”
M: We find that in the dynamics of Earth and other planets throughout the universe, location equivalents occur, such as Gabriel describes in those two locations. He correctly notes their vibratory quality equivalence to each other. He experiences the same vibratory environment in two places simultaneously. Such locations occur spontaneously within Earth, yet the majority of equivalent locations occur due to purposeful behavior on the part of beings.
Some advanced humans in the past have created energetic portals that allow for actual physical travel from one location to another in Earth, based upon the concept of equivalent locations. ETs in Earth created the vast majority of such systems. Their technology is based in the mental plane and remains available whenever a person has the capability of triggering a portal.
In the early 1960s, research teams sponsored by the international financiers were able to discover a small number of portals that link with Mars. Thus the experiment was fulfilled in transporting persons and equipment from Earth to Mars, starting a colony there that has persisted and expanded. —
In Monitor’s terms, then, I have found such a location equivalent (or have developed “the capability of triggering a portal”) right here in our back yard.
The Lawrence Tree
I will take another moment here before wrapping up this initial post on my Kachina Portal wormhole experience to throw in another related piece to the power mix as it comes to me on Riddarmansberget. In early November of 2022, as I was standing on top of the hill looking west out over the forests and hills of western Raasepori, I felt a presence behind me. All that I could see was the cluster of three trees that embrace us each time we stand here looking out across the world. I immediately realized that the message I was hearing was coming from the biggest tree, which stands at the center of the pine cluster.
The Central Pine Tree (as I will call it for the moment) asked me, “Have you noticed that the dominant feature on this portal hilltop is me, the overarching tree?” I instantly knew that the tree was right. I could feel the portal stream energy cursing through the trunk of the tree, rising up from the ground through its roots and spreading upward via its limbs. I was wondering why I hadn’t thought of this myself. I’d spent quite a bit of time admiring the tree for its beauty, its protective embrace, and its steadfast survival in the faace of bitter winds and storms whipping up from the Baltic. But I had never before associated the energetic surge with the embrace of the tree.
Not long later, perhaps even later on that same day, as I was doing some research into the D.H. Lawrence Ranch and its University of New Mexico connections (which is how I eneded up having access to the cottages at the Ranch back throu]gh the 80s and then later in 2004), I came across an article on the Lawrence Tree. I had never heard of the Lawrence Tree before (or atleast it never sunk in if I had). As I read on about how this massive pine tree standing just outside Lawrence’s cabin at the Ranch had been so special to him, providing him with inspiration as he sat beneath it while writing, I suddenly felt the connection: Just as the hilltop here in Fiskars shares in the same energetic signature as the D.H. Lawrence Ranch, so did this tree on top of our hill, who had just caught my attention in such a dramatic way, share in the inspirational energetic function as the Lawrence Tree. This tree here in Fiskars is the energetic twin of the Lawrence Tree.
As soon as I made this connection, so much fell into place. I remembered, after doing more research into Lawrence’s tree, that Georgia O’Keeffe had painted the tree, inspired by the drama of Lawrence’s own inspiration. I had always loved that painting but had never consciously connected it to the D.H. Lawrence Ranch. I was swooning by this point. My lifelong inspirations—Lawrence and O’Keefe and Taos—were all sprouting up right here in Fiskars. I spent much time over the succeeding days communing with the writer and the painter, seeing and feeling their inspirational sources embodied on my hill in Fiskars.
I will develop these Lawrence-O’Keefe connections further in the future. But for now I wanted simply to add them to the string of miraculous “ coincidences” regarding the energetic coincidence of the locational equivalent of two peaks separated by over 5,000 miles of surface planetary space but intimately entwined—or, better yet, fused intoone singular event—in my work here in this Soul Planet Channel. Stay tuned for more on this Kachina Portal of Fiskars, Finland!
It seems extravagant to propose uncountable eternally-branching universes just to get out of collapsing a wave function. It’s like building an entirely new house to avoid doing the dishes. — “The Many Worlds of the Quantum Multiverse”
