Accepting that we do not understand is a good beginning. We, by the very definition of being alive, with life and death cyclic patterns, simply cannot understand the beginning, if indeed there was one.

Our whole lives are based around cycles. The element of time causes cycles to come into existence. Without time there are no cycles, without cycles there is no time.

On a simple level, cycles are about birth and death, sunrise and sunset, the waxing and waning of the moon, the changing of the seasons, the tides of the sea, the reproductive cycle of females. All these are inexorably linked with the entire universe. The difference between our ancient ancestors and us is that we have virtually forgotten about these links while their whole lives simply revolved around the concept of the natural cycle. Our ancestors understood that the universe and everything within it revolved around a massive repetition of cycles.

We are only just beginning to understand the harmony in which we have lived and the disharmony we are causing with our constant damage of the finely balanced environment, which has taken the last 15 billion years to achieve.

The earth has subtle energy waves which some call Ley Lines and which the Chinese call Feng Shui or Dragon Paths. These forces are scientifically proven to exist, although much that is blatantly unscientific is also claimed for them. Not all Ley Lines are scientifically provable, in fact the statistics even show that Ley Lines are “probable” give any number of sacred sites in a given area – things do just line up by chance. Some, though, need closer scrutiny – some evade the statistics of science and defy reason.

When we alter the environment, we alter the balance of these paths, and in turn, the subtle balance between the earth and the universe. We are also beginning to understand the effects we are having, not only on the environment but also on our own psyches.

It is emerging that the energy of our surroundings does have an effect upon our minds. For example, some people suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder otherwise known as SAD, as a result of the lack of sunlight. This recently discovered cyclic problem affects us all to some extent. This shows that if we can suffer from problems because of a loss of sunlight, which is on the electromagnetic spectrum, then we could, in theory, suffer other problems caused by imbalances in other electromagnetic radiation.

It is our belief that our ancestors understood these subtleties and even utilised them for control, harnessing the power of the universe and the power of the mind to control the people. As if to give the game away they placed clues for us to find. All of their rituals, their religions, cults, gods, demigods, all of their lives, were linked to the cycles of the universe. And this is how the ancients understood the powers of the universe, through their gods. They did not conceive of electromagnetic power as we do, but rather as god given signs and portents, as the power of the god’s to be tapped into.
