Earth Energies -
(The human connection.)
Investigating the
theory that certain natural earth-energies were detectable
by prehistoric humans and utilised in ways that are essentially lost
to us in a modern technological setting.
It is generally accepted that
the large number of megaliths around the ancient world were
constructed as part of a cultural expression, both lending identity to
the human species and connecting it to the natural world. They have
been speculated as being built as meeting places, defensive
structures, for funerary purpose and for worshiping the earth
mother. The tradition of megalithic building can now be traced back
to at least 8,000 BC (see Gobekli Tepe),
and probably peaked sometime in the 4th millennium, but we still
have little, if no idea, what it was that originally led the
builders to begin constructing the vast numbers of fantastic
megalithic structures, of which only the smallest percentage remain
today.
Modern physicists have confirmed that all matter
in the universe, from the suns and planets, to the gasses, water,
and organic life itself, are all composed of the same 'stuff'.
Stuff that in its most basic form is made of small particles of energy. The universe can be
seen in this respect as an 'energy soup' of which we (organic life)
are just one of numerous natural expressions. Everything we see is
composed of energy. It is what holds us together and what keeps us
apart. The 'illusion' of matter has given us the physical world as
we know it, but we, the space between us and all things are still
all formed from the same energy. The association between high levels
of artificial EMF and 'Serious Health Problems'
(12)
leaves no doubt that we are
sensitive to such frequencies, perhaps poignant then that it is to
the worlds (now greatly drowned out) natural 'heartbeat', the
Schumann resonance of 7.8 Hz, that living things have been shown to
benefit the most. (10)
Leylines and Chakras:
One of the most
obvious fingerprints of human activity, from around the ancient world and into the present day,
is a natural tendency towards designing buildings
in geometric patterns. Something which in its simplest form
consists of the construction of an alignment of man-made and/or
natural features on the landscape, perhaps offering us the simplest definition of
what is loosely termed today a 'Ley-line'. Along
with this 'linear mentality', it also appears that there a clear preference to
build the megaliths with quartzite, along with many of them
being
built in places of what might be best termed as 'abnormal'
natural background energies. Perhaps it is time to explore the idea that
there was another reason for their construction, apart from those
mentioned above.

This work has already been extensively researched by Paul Deveraux and his Dragon Project:
'The
Dragon Project, latterly the Dragon Project Trust (DPT), was
founded in 1977 in order to mount an interdisciplinary
investigation into the rumour (existing in both folklore and
modern anecdote) that certain prehistoric sites had unusual
forces or energies associated with them. The DPT, a loose
and shifting consortium of volunteers from various
disciplines, conducted many years of physical monitoring at
sites in the UK, and other countries. In the end, it was
concluded that most stories about "energies" were likely to
have no foundation in fact, and in a few cases might be due
to mind states and psychological effects produced by certain
locations. But hard evidence of magnetic and radiation
anomalies was found at some sites, and some questionable
evidence of infrared and ultrasonic effects also. In
addition, it was found that the kind of locations favoured
by megalith builders tended to have a higher than average
incidence of unusual light-ball phenomena or "earth lights".
(6)
The concept of
'earth chakras' is nothing new, with whole mountain
ranges being recognised as being physically connected by
mandala's of oriental temples built into the living landscape.
Something which appears almost alien to the modern western mind.
However, the prehistoric European landscape was similarly
interconnected by networks of
geometric alignments, somewhat akin to the oriental and pre-columbian concept
of landscape alignments. The art/science of Geodesy appears to
have been practiced at the highest levels in prehistory, with
evidence still present from around the ancient world suggesting
that the most sacred/important ancient sites were placed at
positions with relevant geodetic latitudes/longitudes.

Telluric Currents:
A telluric current or
Earth current, is an
electric current which moves underground or through
the sea. Telluric currents result from both natural
causes and human activity, and although discrete, these currents
interact in a complex pattern. The currents are
extremely low frequency and travel over large areas
at or near the surface of
Earth. Telluric currents are phenomena observed in
the Earth's
crust and
mantle. In September 1862, an experiment to
specifically address Earth currents was carried out in
the Munich Alps (Lamont, 1862). The currents are
primarily
geomagnetically induced currents, which are induced
by changes in the outer part of the
Earth's magnetic field, which are usually caused by
interactions between the
solar wind and the
magnetosphere or solar radiation effects on the
ionosphere. Telluric currents flow in the surface
layers of the earth. The electric potential on the
Earth's surface can be measured at different points,
enabling us to calculate the magnitudes and directions
of the telluric currents and hence the Earth's
conductance. These currents are known to have
diurnal characteristics wherein the general
direction of flow is towards the sun. Telluric currents
will move between each half of the terrestrial globe at
all times. Telluric currents move equator-ward (day-time)
and pole-ward (night-time).

Earth
Batteries.
An
earth battery is a pair of electrodes made of two
dissimilar metals, such as iron and copper, which
are buried in the soil or immersed in the sea. Earth
batteries act as water activated batteries and if
the plates are sufficiently far apart, they can tap
telluric currents. Earth batteries are sometimes
referred to as Telluric power sources and Telluric
generators. One of the earliest examples of an earth
battery was built by Alexander Bain 1841 in order to
drive a prime mover. Bain buried plates of zinc and
copper in the ground about one metre apart and used
the resulting voltage of about one volt, to operate
a clock. (1)

Animal and Human Sensitivity to earth-energies.
EMF
(Electro-magnetic Frequencies)
The earth�s natural electromagnetic field
has a frequency measured as about 7.8 HZ or Hertz. This is the well
known and documented Schumann Resonance measured daily in seismology
laboratories.
There is much concern now among scientists about the damage caused
by civilization�s pollution of the earth. There is also monitoring
of the normally occurring changes in the universe.
When people meditate and calm their brain chatter, their brains emit
alpha frequencies of 7 to 9 Hz. The human brain in a relaxed state
then has the same frequency of vibration as the energy field of the
earth.
When humans live close to nature, their energy fields are in
synchrony with the energy field of the earth, so they experience
more balance and better health.
Before the invention of electricity, people lived in harmony with
the earth and her daily and seasonal cycles. Technology advances
have added tremendous levels of electromagnetic energy millions of
times higher than before � microwaves, x-rays, cell phones,
television, radio frequencies, high tension wires, etc.
Dr. Robert Becker is a world renowned expert on electromagnetic
fields (EMF). He said, �At the present time, the greatest polluting
element in the earth�s environment is the proliferation of EMF�s.�
In addition the energy field of the earth interacts with the energy
fields of other planets and constellations. Those changes then
reflect on the energy fields of living bodies including humans.
The energy fields then as the interface connect all living matter �
humans, plant, animal, and the earth.
Predicting Earthquakes:
Observations of unusual animal
behaviour prior to earthquakes have been reported around the world
since the beginning of recorded history (Tributsch, 1982). In
particular, the Chinese and Japanese have recorded these
observations for many hundreds of years (Lee, Ando, and Kautz,
1976), and have made attempts to incorporate these reports into an
earthquake warning system with some success (Allen, 1976). For
example, on February 4, 1975 the Chinese evacuated the city of
Haicheng several hours before a 7.3 magnitude earthquake largely on
the basis of unusual animal behaviour observations (Allen, 1976).
(3)
'Analysis of satellite data shows that
the earth sends out certain signals in
the days before a large earthquake
strikes.
According to a
press release
from M.I.T., just
before the Magnitude
9 earthquake struck
Japan recently, the total electron content of the ionosphere increased dramatically over the
epicentre, reaching a maximum three days before the quake struck.
A similar phenomenon was noticed just
before the Haitian earthquake. These
atmospheric phenomena may explain why
animals seem to act strangely prior to
an earthquake. Perhaps they can sense
the changes'.
(4)
While it is commonly accepted
that animals can be used as earthquake predictors, the case for
human predictors is not on such strong ground. Interesting however
to note that those people who do
attest to such powers, say that the physical effects include,
dizziness, headaches, blurred vision, strange dreams and even
visions, all symptoms of the altered state achieved by the shaman.
While there are
numerous examples of humans apparently 'predicting' earthquakes
through abnormal behaviour, the subject still remains beyond the
scope of mainstream science, as it is not a field within which the
right level of accuracy can be demonstrated. However, there appear
to be sufficient accounts of physiological and psychological effects
before earthquakes that the phenomenon merits an attempt at a
rational explanation. Prof. H. Tributsch, in his book
(5)
offers what is probably the most
plausible to date.
'During the
early 1930s, American physicist C.W. Hansell was experimenting
with his electrostatic generator producing charged ions. His
colleagues noticed that Hansell underwent extreme mood swings
from day to day that seemed to have nothing to do with the
degree of success of his work. Finally, Hansell noticed this
himself, and began to keep a log of his activities. He found
that whenever he was producing negative ions with his generator
he was happy, and whenever he worked with positive ions he was
glum'. (5)
European
researchers had noticed as early as 1928 that the ion content of the
air had a direct influence on the well-being of humans, and in the
ensuing decades scientists tried to follow up on-the effects of
airborne ions on biological processes. By 1958, more than 300 works
had been published on the subject, although the results were often
rejected by the general scientific community. By now there is a
convincing body of evidence that small ions in the air have a
pervasive effect on the concentration of the nerve hormone serotonin
in the lower middle brain. Serotonin affects metabolic processes,
the transmission of nerve impulses, sleep and the development of
moods.
Dowsing:
The historical origin of dowsing is unknown.
References to water finders and similar terms have led some to
think that it is thousands of years old, but the first published
description of the dowsing rod is probably Georgius Agricola�s
De re Metallica dated 1556 (translated in 1912 by the
then future president of the United States Herbert Hoover). From
an extensive survey of the literature, Barrett and Besterman
(1926/1968) found the first unmistakable reference to the
dowsing rod was in 1430; although many earlier works have been
construed as referring to dowsing.
(8)
While there
exists a vast catalogue of reports and stories of people who claim to
have been
dowsers, the simple (somewhat disappointing) fact is that as yet there is no
single academic study substantiating the
practice of dowsing, leaving the field of study without
scientific substance. As anecdotal evidence itself does not
constitute rigorous scientific proof of the effectiveness of
dowsing, it remains for now an area of interest, but without
champions. However, the lack of stringent scientific evidence
does not detract from the numerous reports worldwide of the
existence of people who profess to be sensitive to sensing earth
energies. In itself, this is something that should not be
ignored, as there has been some enlightening research into the
human response to low-level electromagnetic frequencies (EMF),
and our recognition of any relationship with this energy field
is perhaps the first spark of understanding in this difficult
field of research.
'By 1990, over
one hundred studies had been conducted worldwide. Of these, at
least two dozen epidemiological studies on humans indicated a
link between EMFs and serious health problems. In response to
public pressure, the Environmental Protection Agency IEPA) began
reviewing and evaluating the available literature. In a
draft report issued in March 1990, the EPA recommended that EMFs
be classified as a Class B carcinogen - a "probable human
carcinogen and joined the ranks of formaldehyde, DDT, dioxins
and PCBs'. (Quick-link)
It has long been
known, that many animals including the catfish, shark, and platypus
have specialized electroreceptor cells that are evolutionarily
conditioned to detect such EMFs by means of sensory transduction.
'Detection can be prevented in catfish by means of blocking
antibodies'. (9)
Although there is positive evidence
that humans do have some ability to detect weak electromagnetic
fields, in the same way that other animals are able to, it is far
too early to conclude that this sensitivity can be used to detect
underground water. However, in relation to the above report, and
perhaps more relevant today, humanity is still surrounding itself
with more and more household gadgets raising our artificial
background EMF levels to their highest ever. While we may not
recognise the symptoms for what they are yet, we are being saturated
by artificial EMF in an unprecedented way. Something that any future
experimentation must also take into account.
The Earth's
background base frequency, or "heartbeat," has been for a long
time a steady 7.8Hz (called Schumann resonance, or SR). Various
studies have shown that animals, plants and humans living in its
presence benefit from it. However, it is also recognised that...
'Man-made or artificial EM radiation is a very recent phenomenon
and may pose a new source of possible interference that
naturally evolved biological systems would most likely not be
prepared'. (10)

Modern-day Experiments:
Lord Kelvin: The Kelvin Generator
Between 1858 and 1867, Lord
Kelvin developed a water-drop electrostatic generator, which he
called the "water-dropping condenser�. It was sometimes referred
to as �Kelvin�s Thunderstorm�. The device uses falling water
drops to generate voltage. Water runs down from the top, with
slightly positively-charged water attracted to the negative ring
and slightly negative water attracted to the positive ring. The
charged water flows through the ring and into a container. When
the charge eventually reaches a certain threshold, a spark will
cross the gab between the rings.
Lord Kelvin water droppers have been known to build a 20,000
volt charge with as few as 100 drops of water through each side
in less than six seconds. That�s without any external power
source � simply utilising the energy of the falling water drops.
As you can see, electrostatic generators can be made to be very
powerful.
The energy produced here
ultimately comes from the gravitational energy released by letting
the water drops fall.
The Experiments
of Dr. Masaru Emoto.
Masaru Emoto, a researcher and alternative healer from Japan has
given the world a good deal of evidence of the magic of positive
thinking. He became famous when his water
molecule experiments featured in the 2004 film, What The Bleep Do
We Know?. His experiments demonstrate that human thoughts and intentions
can alter physical reality, in this case the
molecular structure of water. Given that humans are comprised of
at least 60% water, his discovery has far reaching implications. The
following two experiments were performed by Dr. Emoto, which he
says demonstrate the metaphysical reality of positive thinking.
The Ice
Crystal Experiment: In this experiment, water molecules
which had positive thoughts 'projected' at it were shown to form
into ice crystals which are both more complex and more
aesthetically pleasing. The experiments consists of
exposing water in glasses to different words, pictures, or
music, and then freezing and examining the
aesthetics of the resulting crystals with microscopic
photography.
Emoto claims that there are "many differences in the crystalline
structure of the water" depending on the type of water source,
which were taken from all over the world. For example, a water
sample from a "pristine mountain" stream would purportedly show
a "geometric" design that is "beautifully" shaped when frozen.
On the other hand, "polluted water" sources will supposedly show
a "definite distortion" and will be "randomly formed".

'American research organisation
HeartMath initiated the project to test the hypothesis that
�mass human emotion, whether positive or negative, has a
measurable influence on the Earth�s energetic field�.The
experiment is called the Global Coherence Monitoring System (GCMS)
project, and sensors have already been installed in the US,
Saudi Arabia, Canada and England, and three more are due to be
installed in New Zealand, Brazil and South Africa.There will be
a magnetometer sensor installed on the East Coast of the South
Island, and coordinator of the GCMS project Rollin McCraty says
the site will be tested this month.
�We�re measuring the heart rhythms
and brain waves of the planet. We�re wanting to get a global
view of what the energetic activity of the planet is from a
whole perspective.� He says the project is based on the theory
that human emotions can affect the Earth�s magnetic field.
�There�s already� overwhelming evidence that mass emotionality -
when something happens that triggers a lot of people feeling
similar ways at the same time - that that can affect the global
field environment.� He claims that during the terrorist attacks
of September 11, 2001, magnetometers measured an effect on the
Earth�s magnetic field'.
