A Few Brief Thoughts on Ley Line, Energy Lines, Energy Centres and Magnetic Field Patterns

by the late Hamish Miller. First published in 1986.

My good friend and brilliant dowser from Adelaide will remember well our stimulating exchanges after getting varying results on dowsing “Telluric” overground/underground/ coloured track line grid spirals in a Sussex garden during the last Conference. He now addresses any letter to me as “Dear Hairy Pict”, but mind you, anyone who starts dowsing for this sort of thing before having a decent breakfast deserves all that he gets.

It is my belief that as the earth’s crust cooled and the separate poles developed, certain basic magnetic forms were created. Work has been carried out by a number of people in this field and hopefully we may be able to enlarge on this in future Newsletters. Stresses in rock formations, pressures on granite, quartzes etc, which set up piezo-electric effects, and, later, water courses, underground streams, wells, blind springs and water domes led to the build-up of anomalies in the basic field pattern.

A long time later, when nomad man appeared these anomalies had an effect on his mini magnetic fields (his aura and chakras,) and would find places on his travels which felt “good”. Homo Sapiens were very close to the earth and required a deep knowledge of seasonal and planetary changes to survive. These sites became important for the purposes of continuity, ritual and ceremony, and as we have rediscovered recently, the higher state of awareness induced by certain ritual. Prayer or meditation had a positive effect on the surrounding magnetic field patterns.

It would seem logical at the time to have a communication of some kind with distant friends over the hill and possibly some considerable distances away at another special site and this first tenuous thought form created an energy line between these important centres. As the telepathic connection became stronger and more complex transmission of thoughts developed, the first positive bands of energy lines formed and as there was no need for a thought form to deviate around hills, ponds and valleys the “ley” energy formed straight connections between sacred sites. Watkins vision was therefore accurate but his interpretation of the lines as trackways most people agree has now been superseded.

The “lining up” of sites become logical in that sensitives became aware of the existence of the ley lines connecting distant sites and followed the line till a water course defined an intermediate new special place. So, a number of ceremonial centres developed on the original ley. The short length of some, and the “dog legging” of the stronger leys seem to be a rational result of the thought form theory.

So, the ley line is a straight connection, developed from a combination of man’s consciousness and the earth’s field, encompassing a number of significant sites. I understand that there are ley lines without dowsable energy, but I have not yet personally come across such a line yet.

The things we deal with mostly are energy lines. Ley Line hunters get very uptight if you confuse them.

Energy lines are connections between node points, energy centres, ley lines, the first two being either natural phenomena or produced by higher states of human consciousness eg healing, meditation.

These are all dowsable and can be single or multiple lines. They appear to be reacting to changes triggered by the meetings of human minds whether the people involved are aware of their “higher consciousness” communication or not. The restriction in the expression of the subtleties of communication is in language rather than concept, according to Peter Russell there are certainly twenty words in the old Sanskrit language, with nuances of meaning which we have lost, for the word “consciousness”.

Old addition to ley lines and energy lines there are also the fascinating variations in the magnetic field patterns which appear to form round the lines first then spread out over larger areas.

It would appear that there could be a hopeless mess of conflicting lines of energy, but it is my opinion that they can and do all co-exist happily together because they are of differing frequencies. We are currently recording these variations at the Network, collecting data from all over the world and hopefully when we combine the statistics of the geometrical designs with assessments of behaviour patterns in community terms, we may discover which form is the most likely to induce the healing function for which we are all aiming.

Bernard is quite right at the moment when he says elsewhere that dowsers don’t know what the shapes mean. We need lots more dowsers to provide the data from which we might learn.
