Re: Digest Number 2541

I bet there are lots of doctors who can accept wholeheartedly that

there are magnetic lines of force on this earth but find it

impossible to acknowledge that there are meridians of energy in our

bodies.

Do you know there are books published in England with maps of those

magnetic lines of force...I have never heard of magnetic lines of

force ever being recognized in Canada, or the U.S...Ever heard of

this being checked out in North America?

I understand there are places somewhat similar to it elsewhere in

the British Isles.

(1) Too painfully true to even think about

(2) Ley lines are not " officially " recognized in the US (for that

matter, they are not " officially " recognized by conventional

scientists anyplace) but there are those around who have done work

documenting them. Apparantly Seattle is an energetic hot spot and

quite a bit of work is being on mapping lines locally by a couple of

groups.

(3) There are megalithic structures all over the world. Stonehenge

and Avebury are just two of the more commonly known. You might be

interested in a book called " Underworld " by Graham Hancock.

Hancock's basic premise is that modern civilization did not spring

forth from Mesopotamia 5000 years ago. It is the remnant of a far

older civilzation that basically got trashed at the end of the last

ice age about 10,000 years ago. The reason no evidence has ever

been found is that it is all off-shore underwater and covered by

10,000 or more years of sediment. As a point of fact, there have

been offshore finds off the coast of India in the last few years

where they have dredged up man-made artifacts that have carbon dated

to 9500 years ago. Just a bit of trivia for you. And BTW, if this

general topic interests you, let me know - I can direct you toward

several fascinating books and authors.

--- In ceda , " Bonnie Heintskill "

Bernie - do you know of any ley lines in Ireland? On my trip to the

UK we will be going thru the southern part of Ireland and. Galway,

the Ring of Kerry, Killarney, Dublin, and Cork.

-------------------

Bonnie -

I did a quick web search. I couldn't find anything relating to

Ireland. What I did find basically said that ley lines are

essentially " a British " thing. I did, however, find a link to the

Seattle project. I copied the article on it down below. I was

shocked to discover that the project was funded by the city Arts

Commission.

The Seattle Ley-Line Map.

A Geo Group Project

The Geo Group created the Seattle Ley Line Project , an artwork

commissioned and funded by the Seattle Arts Commission. Seattle is

the first city in America - possibly the first city anywhere - to

have its ley lines located and mapped. Sacred places located all

over the world are generally located over various Earth energies.

These electromagnetic fields of energy emanating from the Earth have

the capability to improve the well-being of people as well as the

Earth as a whole. One of our goals is to identify the presence of

all kinds of Earth energies and work in harmony with the Earth

Spirit to improve the flow of these energies.

The Geo Group offers a 4.5 x 7 inch color photo of the Seattle Ley-

Line Map, showing major Seattle ley lines and power centers. The

photo is available for $7.00 from: The Geo Group, P.O. Box 602,

Medina, WA 98039.

Crisscrossing the Earth is a network of energy lines called ley

lines. These ley lines originate at power centers. Ancient monuments

such as pyramids, stone circles, medicine wheels, shrines,

cathedrals and other sacred architectural structures traditionally

have been located on power centers.

Power centers are significant because they can affect consciousness

and uplift the human condition. When power centers are amplified

through the application of a specific set of design elements, they

can have a perceptible, positive influence on people and the

environment.

The Seattle Ley-Line Project was The Geo Group's first major

project. Its purpose was to:

Identify and map the major ley lines and ley-line power centers

within the City of Seattle using dowsing techniques; and

Design and build a series of environmental artworks that will be

used to mark and enhance the ley-line energy.

A $5,000 grant for the Seattle Ley-Line Project was provided to The

Geo Group by the Seattle Arts Commission to " explore their visions

for the city of Seattle . . to consider the fantastic as well as the

realizable. " The Project was commissioned for the Visionary

Collaborations portion of Northwest Interpretations to represent

what Seattle as a City might become.

To date, an artwork showing the Seattle Ley-Line Map and proposed

environmental artworks has been completed and is being exhibited as

part of Seattle City Light's 1% for Art Portable Works Collection.

The artwork is encased in a wood and metal case in the shape of the

squared circle. In the center of the case is a large map of the

Seattle ley lines and on either side of the map is a description of

the project and proposed artworks to be built on the power centers

in the city.

The artwork and large map are on rotating display in city-owned

buildings within Seattle. For information on the artwork's current

location, contact the Seattle Arts Commission, telephone: (206) 625-

4223.

This project made Seattle the first city on Earth to balance and

tune its ley-line system. The project received front page coverage

in The Seattle Times. Five years later, the April 1993 issue of

Seattle Arts reported:

" Some artworks start life in fiery controversy and eventually find

enthusiastic acceptance. When in 1987 an artist working with

individuals from other disciplines cre- ated an artwork tracking the

invisible 'ley lines' in the Earth's surface - imposing a grid of

lines over a satellite photo of the Seattle area and placing

crystals at significant junctures, then beautifully framing the

whole thing to hang on the wall - it sparked a brief but nasty

battle over the separation of church and state, art and faith. The

(Seattle) Arts Commission was accused of funding a New Age, pagan

sect. Now the work hangs happily on the wall of a new home the DCLU

(Department of Construction and Land Use in the Dexter Horton

Building), where many visitors figure it must somehow relate to the

City's zoning policies. "

Seattle Ley-Line Map News Release

The vision of the Seattle Ley-Line Project is to heal the Earth

energies within the Seattle city limits by identifying ley-line

power centers in Seattle, neutralizing negative energies and then

amplifying the positive potential of the ley-line power centers. We

believe the result will be a decrease in disease and anxiety, an

increased sense of wholeness and well-being and the achievement of

Seattle's potential as a center of power for good on Spaceship

Earth.

Dowsing techniques were used to identify and map the major ley lines

and power centers located within Seattle. The map you see above is

an accurate artistic representation of all the ley lines and power

centers we identified. Since most of the ley lines are on private

property, we have deliberately kept this map representational.

It is our opinion that Seattle is definitely a major center for

Earth energies. There are several places in the city that have the

potential to become sacred places similar to, but not as large as

Stonehenge or the Great Pyramid.

How can I get a Ley-Line map of my city or area ?

Over the years, we have gotten calls from other people interested in

a ley-line map of their city. If not done correctly, dowsing a city

can be dangerous. It's one thing to dowse a piece of property for a

water well, it's another thing to dowse a large area, especially a

large metropolitan area, for ley lines and power centers. It took

over three months to dowse Seattle using a four- by eight-foot road

map. For protection and correct results, every dowsing session was

preceded by meditation and a specific set of spiritual practices. Do

not attempt to dowse a city without a deep practice in meditation

and years of dowsing work in the field.

What are ley lines, power centers and other Earth energies?

Ley lines are straight lines of electromagnetic " Yang " energy with a

beginning point and an end point. Water lines are underground

streams of water flowing through creaks and veins beneath the

Earth's surface. Both ley lines and water lines create a field of

energy that has an effect on onsciousness and how you feel. Once you

teach yourself to be sensitive to Earth energies, you can feel their

effect on you just like you feel the effect of a strong cup of

coffee.

Power centers are places where ley lines begin. A power center is

created by the presence of both ley energy and underground water.

The combination of the two creates a power that has the capability

to not only affect consciousness, but also to retain the feelings of

people who have visited the site. Power centers can save feelings

and emotions in the same way a computer disk holds programs or a

battery holds energy.

More information on Earth energies.

How do you find ley lines and how can I learn more about them?

The easiest way to find ley lines and power centers is by dowsing.

Dowsing is a technique for using the body's potential to receive and

feel energy. By practice, a dowser learns to feel the presence of

underground water and ley lines. Just like a radio tunes into

electromagnetic waves in the atmosphere and converts the waves into

music, a dowser uses a tool such as a dowsing rod or a pendulum to

act like the indicator light on the radio dial to help indicate

where a ley line is located.

There are a number of books on ley lines besides Secrets of Sacred

Space by Chuck Pettis. Two we recommend are: Dowsing by Tom Graves

and The View Over Atlantis, by Michell. You can also write the

American Society of Dowsers, Danville, VT. They have chapters all

over the U.S., many of which study Earth energies.

What is environmental art?

Environmental art is a major international art movement that has

been recognized within the arts community for at least the last 20

years. Environmental art involves the environment as a design

element in the final artwork. It includes an artwork and a site or

space that are united into a single entity. Several successful

environmental artworks in the greater Seattle area include: the

Source on Mercer Island by Hoge, Gasworks Park by Rich Haag,

and Fleischner's work for the City of Kent. National

environmental artworks include: son's Spiral Jetty,

Walter de 's Lightning Field and Christo's Running Fence.

Artworks designed by The Geo Group incorporate cosmology, symbolism,

landscape design, earth and stone sculptures, geomancy, metrology,

astronomical alignments, ceremony/festivals, and sacred geometry and

proportion.

What do you mean by healing the Earth?

There are two primary ways of healing the Earth via Earth energies.

One is to neutralize the effects of negative energies, and the other

is to add positive vibrations to neutral or positive spaces. When

underground water gets polluted, it creates a negative field which

can affect health and cause disease. A power center can have a

negative feeling if negative emotions or events have occurred at the

site. Once a power center or underground water stream has been

identified as negative, it can be neutralized by using a number of

intuitional techniques. A power center can be improved by

encouraging and fostering positive thoughts and activities at the

site.

What if I'd like to find out about Earth energies in my home,

business, etc.?

The Geo Group provides consulting services in the following areas:

Geopathic Survey: Identify the presence of ley lines, power centers,

underground water and entities. Neutralize negative energies and

clean site of entities;
