That was a good one, kevin - "short distance survival senses". As for my position, I`m still convinced that it`s "science", which is modern black magic, as it robbed former gods of their domination "tools".
From the other angle, how can scientists treat those futile 5% of knowledge they acquired as representing the Whole of the World? Statistically, the causative chains should point to those 95% unknown reality around and the only decent answer to any question would be - "We (the scientists) don`t know." The ultimate causes of any event within the human world are simply unknown.
Before, there were gods and then the one God, we could rely upon that they could steer our tiny human world through the mists of the Unknown, in a right way. "Scientists" dethroned all those personages but gave us no authority to replace the old one. Repeating censored questions like a mechanical doll to acquire logical but meaningless answers, doesn t satisfy modern humanity.

Davidmorgan,
Still not 5 out of five.
I have never said that light doesn't shine....I have said that light occurs.
There is no light in space, it is dark, except for the pockets of where light is occuring.
If the sun was a big torch like beam...surely You would be able to see this beam at night going out into space....but no, the light doesn't then occur.
It is really difficult to drop the indoctrination that We are subjected to constantly which is presented as absolute fact, once You do though , it enables a better comprehension of the subject this site is dedicated to, We are fooled by our dominant senses, which are short distance survival senses.

Tiompan,
I assume You are talking to Me????
YOU...GEORGE are the one pulling threads off track into this constant garbage of stupidity that Your above post is typical of.
Post at 22;43.
You again are posting crap, and LIES
Your method is to constantly infere untruths.
YOU...GEORGE are the troll.
I have been extra carefull in this thread at trying to stay on thread, but YOU...GEORGE have taken it off course as powerfully as that tornado in America.

"Geoglypths" or rather "pictograms" is the adoptive phrase, differentiating from an actual phenomena to pre-conception is a difficult one for an outsider to judge, as speculated previously (here I think).
Fibonacci (meaning the use of fibonacci to explain nature in a far more basic way than it is), I haven't evidence of fibonacci but the spiral looked very similar to a fibonacci spiral (actually in part to my dismay, but further indications suggest repeatability)
With your final sentence, If I dowsed something and marked it out, then someone else were to this isn't full proof, as some tests seem to indicate a trace of dowsing remnance (I am not sure how), kind of like an imprint. I find myself dowsing blind folded a lot these days, as the experience increases so does confidence which can lead to wishful results, however this process can be most time consuming, but it is surprising how much difference it makes.
perhaps a series of shapes being dowsed in the same location, and then these shapes measured for correlation? That is assuming the shapes are not person specific (very unlikely). Most dowsers haven't investigated this avenue too much, its my new project.
Best
Tom

Not bad. I got the last one wrong, did I?
Should be...

It is bad enough with all the usual off topic interjections into threads but this is getting ridiculous and incredibly boring .
Constantly repeating the same mantra doesn't make it true or make anyone more likely to believe it .
You are incapable of of finding “stuff” , that's ok . What you “detect “ is unrecordable and the only evidence is only available to you i.e. “providing evidence in My own way” that's fine too if you want to believe it , but don't think others simply buy into the fantasy without question .
The next level of belief concerning the relationship between the “flows “ and megalithic monuments and even “everything is made from the substance flowing along the lines “ provides another step up in humour and difficulty in providing anything resembling evidence .

| Tom , yes ,dowsing is defined as a magical practice because that it was it is and was . No need for “ witching, using devilish ways to achieve their ends, I can just see these cloaked figures now, evil eyes shining through “ magical thinking is what normal people do all the time . It doesn't make it right or nefarious .
Some q's . What is the rough area the design ? how many markers are used for the five petals ? Where is the shape found ? Do others find the same shape at the same place ? If so , were the others aware of the design and how was it confirmed that their findings replicated yours in design and location or vice versa ?
I never described dowsing as an art .
As mentioned a few times dowsing for specific “stuff “ has been tested often enough under conditions acceptable to both dowsers and testers and dowsers never manage to achieve results better than chance . Hers's a recent not very strict example but typical .http://www.uiowa.edu/~osa/burials/Dowsing.pdf .
Avoiding the pitfalls of failing to find recordable stuff only means that it is not only more difficult to prove the negative it is also equally difficult to prove the positive and in such cases the burden of proof is upon the claimant .
Yes cymatics are great fun , repeatable ,predictable and explicable and one of the phenomena investigated by early scientists , which in no way detracts from the wonder and if anything adds to it .

George,
Thanks,
The "geoglypths" are a phenomena which has baffled me, baffled me enough to investigate more. One major problem with this is I haven't been able to map out and measure the shapes being dowsed. With the spirals (I know you don't like fibonacci, so I'll try to detach), we are talking in ratios rather than size, the bigger the spiral the bigger the magnification - interesting if it is in fact self generated.
The areas I have dowsed with the geoglypths haven't been massive, other than at Brodgar where the shapes were simply too big to quantify. The occasions where I have dowsed I have ended up at the same point while (from memory) observing the number of petals.
This hasn't been compared by other dowsers, because the shapes change. For instance if some time is spent at a site the geoglypths change, they form other geometric shapes - the similarity is with the shapes being dowsed. For instance I have dowsed several shapes within the same area, I ignored this for a while, then after finally linking up with the b.s.d I found the shapes were found by many other dowsers in many situations. Now the B.S.D and most dowsers, will say that this happens at ancient sites, it does, but it also happens in many other places, on a smaller scale, especially areas where organic life is concentrated i.e wooded areas.
It is not a repeatable phenomena per se, but in the observations that I have the shapes are of a scale, and share key components. I intend on doing some measuring and some comparisons and tests. How do megaliths fit in, well the centre point of megaliths (not always centre) normally houses such a phenomena, but they can be found other places in megaliths also. The place in which energy lines cross a node is found, this node is essentially a spiral formation, it is bigger in size if the energy lines are bigger, but the spiral is scaled up, rather than having more rotations.
What gets me with this is,
a)how I am able to dowse a shape and end up in the same place, the shape appears to be perfectly sized. I have measured and marked this out but, if I am dowsing and marking it could be seen as manipulation i.e filling in the markers. The best way here is to dowse, possibly blindfolded, and have someone else mark the area. I am suitable acceptive that this is a phenomena outside of my creation, and the shapes are different, I couldn't guess them.
b)how the same shapes seem to re-occur at different places / and in some cases the same place by different dowsers, this could be explained by the "wanting to find a sacred shape", I have no interest in sacred shapes, but what is there, and even then I didn't know some of the shapes previously.
Thankyou for the pdf file, It was an interesting read.
Best
Tom
