Mysterious Forces II: Ley Lines And Earth Energy

Ley lines, also called leys, were first drawn to the attention of the modern masses by Alfred Watkins in 1921. Watkins noted the curious alignments of various historic sites, such as cathedrals and ancient monuments, that seemed to suggest a network of lines drawn along the surface of the land. He published his ideas about ley line networks in a book entitled The Old Straight Track (1925). Occultist Dion Fortune, some ten years later, revived the allegedly ancient idea of leys as “lines of power” in her novel The Goat Foot God (1971). According to Mystic Places (1987), some modern researchers now “believe that leys are located along channels of geophysical power. They suspect that ancient people sensed a pulsating energy coursing through the earth and built their monuments at sites where the energy was strongest.” The spots where leys intersect are called “nodes,” and researchers theorize that the concentration of earth energy near these points may be powerful enough to trigger psychic phenomena. Indeed, cases of retrocognition, spontaneous levitation, and UFO sightings have all been reported, and are said to occur more frequently, along ley lines.
According to one of the most advanced ley line theories, detailed in Mystic Places (1987), Stonehenge stands atop one of the major “nodes” where two of the most prominent leys intersect. The giant stones of this monument theoretically may function “as a sort of storage battery or sending-and-receiving station tied into a mysterious power grid.” If high concentrations of earth energy do indeed trigger paranormal events, the existence of so much power at Stonehenge could explain why UFO’s have been reported so often in the vicinity of the megaliths. The most notable UFO sighting occurred at Stonehenge in October of 1977, when an entire squadron of “spacecraft” was filmed in flight above the monument. Magnetic interference also occurred during this event, causing compasses, televisions, and searchlights to malfunction. These effects suggest that earth energy, when and if it manifests in connection to the UFO phenomenon, may occupy the same region of the energy spectrum as television (Ultra High Frequency or Very High Frequency). It should be noted here that the “Angel” sightings at Fatima bore a striking resemblance to UFO phenomena. It seems reasonable to speculate that the alleged “spacecraft” sighted over Stonehenge may actually be manifestations emanating from the “transcendental world” of etheric and astral material written of by Dora van Gelder. Just as electricity can be transformed into radio and TV transmissions, so geophysical energy may be capable of being transformed into what we perceive as paranormal or psychic phenomena. Though he may not have foreseen these developments, Nicola Tesla’s experiments with electricity have now become intricately interwoven with the mysterious effects of earth energy.
This ley line earth energy that we are aware of and have some sense of is an unexplained mystery. Much of this phenomenon is unexplained ancient mystery that humans have long tried to understand. Mystic force in the earth is understood as many separate natural phenomenon. Some see evidence of a Ufo visiting earth, or by some unexplained use of astral projection. Some see evidence of God or a creator or authority. These mystic forces may be natural occurrences, though, through the eyes of science much is still just phenomenon unexplained, paranormal and mysterious.
