The question was raised on a forum that I joined recently related to ancient sacred sites. I thought it was about time I stated my current position on this matter seeing as I go on about stuff so much, so here is a concise summary of my position on the term “energies” that I dowse.
In my opinion, the term “energies” refer to a combination of several factors:-
- Electromagnetic effects arising from the earth’s own magnetic core and its associated field
- Water passing over crystalling rock causing a piezo-electric discharge
- The radiance of particles arising from the decomposition of radioactive matter, usually at geological fault lines
- The bio-electric energy fields of humans and other living creatures, especially trees and large shrubs.
- The radiant light energy from The Sun, distant stars, and the reflected energy from The Moon and other planets close enough to register a response.
- The decaying or remnant energies of formerly living organisms, particularly humans.
You may begin to see now why I don’t hold with the “it’s water” or “it’s radon gas” theories. It’s a lot of sources in combination. However, together they form the umbrella terms “Earth energy”, “Celestial energy”, “Living energy” and “Death energy”.
I do not have any scientific training or apparatus and do not intend to do scientific experiments at this stage to try to prove that these sources are in fact the true sources of these energies. What I know about them has been provided to me from the experience of dowsing and then working with the energies in their various forms. The reliability of the dowsing is only verifiable by me – no-one else can do that. Sometimes I have discovered sources through the dowsing directly (e.g. being led to a point where running water can be discovered underneath a rock, or something like that) – other times it has been through an elimination of options, and then a questioning of the dowsing rods to confirm that supposition. Again – highly ‘suspect’ to anyone else who cannot verify this by any other means.
Clearly, I don’t have a radon gas detector or electromagnetic frequency detector, and have no intention of getting them, so my ideas remain as ideas – untested, unproven. I’m fine with that. The framework they generate makes sense to me, and allows me to work satisfactorily towards a better understanding. Others should develop their own theories based on their own data. My theories are for me and me alone. Only I know what I went through to achieve this knowledge. Only by going through your own process and experience will you be able to get this knowledge too.
Those are the energies that I dowse at stone circles. And yes, they are my own crackpot theories that have been devised from the ground up based on pure experiential and experimental data gathered over the course of some 100+ different site visits of varying types over many years. Of course I have also read most of the other books out there on dowsing, and I stand on the shoulders of giants when it comes to field research. I am no arch-astronomer like Lockyer or Michell. I can’t say I have walked as many miles as David Cowan. Nor have I travelled as far as Hamish Miller in my research. Yet, I have developed a large pot of experience, and I am always open to my theories being blown over by the next piece of data.
