INTRODUCTION

"The experience of life in a finite, limited body is specifically for the purpose of discovering and manifesting supernatural (infinite) existence within the finite." -Pythagoras

Planetary 'energy' grid theory falls under the heading of pseudoscience. It operates through geometrical patterns that follow a specific symmetry linked to sacred geometry.

The grids meet at various intersecting points forming a grid or matrix. This is equivalent to the acupuncture points on our bodies. These grid points can be found at some of the strongest power places on the planet.

During the Renaissance, Leonardo daVinci initiated the perspective of the individual observer in drawing and painting systems, which positioned the observer at the center of the universe [sim.Taoist precept].

"Our destiny is to encounter our embracing collective mind with increasing intimacy and resonance. We awaken to a love life, in which personal love expands to planetary love- through this touching new body of mindfulness. A new body of mind crystallizes among us." -Dan Winter

THEORY

CURRY LINES

Earth radiation is a theoretical geophysical phenomenon described primarily by the German authors Manfred Curry and Ernst Hartmann.

They both describe a mystic force field (similar to Odic force, Mana, Qi) that covers the earth at regular intervals and can be detected by dowsing using a divining rod. It is not supposed to be detectable by common scientific instruments but some still connect it to telluric currents, which are actual phenomena, detectable by scientific instruments.

Placing people or other living things in certain spots of the earth radiation knots is believed to be beneficial/harmful depending on radiation flow direction. It connects to the Gaia philosophy and vitalist school and is very popular in certain New Age circles in Europe, especially in Germany.

The radiation is described as a grid-like arrangement with lines at regular distances:

• Curry lines are supposed to be circa 3 meters apart (with variations), diagonally to the poles, east to west.

• Hartmann lines run both east-west and north-south forming a grid across the earth's surface with a distance of circa 2 meters in the north-south direction and 2.5 meters in the east-west direction.

• Ley lines are man-made energy lines, created by stone formations such as stone ships or other ancient archaeological structures. The knowledge of creating ley lines is supposed to be lost.

SCHUMANN WAVES/RESONANCE

The Schumann Resonance is a set of spectrum peaks in the ELF portion of the Earth's electromagnetic field spectrum. Schumann resonance is due to the space between the surface of the Earth and the conductive ionosphere acting as a waveguide. The limited dimensions of the earth cause this waveguide to act as a resonant cavity for electromagnetic waves in the ELF band. The cavity is naturally excited by energy from lightning strikes. Since the seventh overtone lies at approximately 60 Hz, the cavity is also driven by the North American power grid.

The lowest-frequency (and highest-intensity) mode of the Schumann resonance is at a frequency of approximately 7.83 Hz. Detectable overtones extend upwards into the kilohertz range. The phenomenon is named after physicist Winfried Otto Schumann who predicted it mathematically in 1952, but it was first observed by Nikola Tesla and formed the basis for his scheme for broadcast power and wireless communications (Tesla 1905). 

The Schumann resonances (SR) are a set of spectrum peaks in the extremely low frequency (ELF) portion of the Earth's electromagnetic field spectrum. Schumann resonances are global electromagnetic resonances, excited by lightning discharges in the cavity formed by the Earth surface and the ionosphere

Description

This global electromagnetic resonance phenomenon is named after physicist Winfried Otto Schumann who predicted it mathematically in 1952. Schumann resonance occurs because the space between the surface of the Earth and the conductive ionosphere acts as a waveguide. The limited dimensions of the Earth cause this waveguide to act as a resonant cavity for electromagnetic waves in the ELF band. The cavity is naturally excited by energy from lightning strikes. Schumann resonance modes are observed in the power spectra of the natural electromagnetic background noise, as separate peaks at extremely low frequencies (ELF) around 7.8, 14.3, 20.8, 27.3 and 33.8 Hz.

The fundamental mode of the Schumann resonance is a standing wave in the Earth-ionosphere cavity with a wavelength equal to the circumference of the Earth. This lowest-frequency (and highest-intensity) mode of the Schumann resonance occurs at a frequency of approximately 7.8 Hz. Further resonance modes appear at approximately 6.5 Hz intervals, a characteristic attributed to the atmosphere's spherical geometry. The peaks exhibit a spectral width of approximately 20% on account of the damping of the respective modes in the dissipative cavity. The eighth overtone lies at approximately 59.9 Hz.

Schumann resonances are used to track global lightning activity. Owing to the connection between lightning activity and the Earth's climate they can also be used to monitor global temperature variations and variations of upper water vapor. Extraterrestrial lightning may also be detected and studied with Schumann resonances. Schumann resonances have been used for research and monitoring of the lower ionosphere on Earth and was suggested for exploration of lower ionosphere parameters on celestial bodies. Schumann resonances can be used to track geomagnetic and ionospheric disturbances. More recently, Schumann resonances have been used for monitoring transient luminous events – sprites, elves, jets, and other upper-atmospheric lightning. A new field of interest using Schumann resonances is related to short-term earthquake prediction. Schumann resonances have gone beyond the boundaries of physics, invading medicine, raising interest in artists and musicians, and gaining interest from fringe fields such as psychobiology.

[edit] History

The first suggestion that an ionosphere existed, capable of trapping electromagnetic waves, was made by Heaviside and Kennelly in 1902 ^{[1] [2]}. It took another twenty years before Edward Appleton and Barnett in 1925 ^[3], were able to prove experimentally the existence of the ionosphere. However, even prior to this, the first documented observations of global electromagnetic resonances were made by Nikola Tesla in 1905 and formed the basis for his scheme for wireless energy transmission ^[4]. Although some of the most important mathematical tools for dealing with spherical waveguides were developed by Watson in 1918 ^[5], it was Winfried Otto Schumann who first studied the theoretical aspects of the global resonances of the earth-ionosphere waveguide system, known today as the Schumann resonances. In 1952-1954 Schumann, together with Köning, attempted to measure the resonant frequencies ^{[6] [7] [8] [9]} . However, it was not until measurements made by Balser and Wagner in 1960-1963 ^{[10] [11] [12] [13] [14]} that adequate analysis techniques were available to extract the resonance information from the background noise. Since then there has been an increasing interest in Schumann resonances in a wide variety of fields.

[edit] Basic Theory

Lightning discharges are considered as the primary natural source of Schumann resonances. Lightning channels behave like a huge antenna which radiates electromagnetic energy as impulsive signals at frequencies below about 100 kHz ^[15]. These signals are very weak, but the earth-ionosphere waveguide behaves like a resonator at ELF frequencies and amplifies the spectral signals from lightning at the resonance frequencies ^[15].

In an ideal cavity, the resonant frequency of the n-th mode f_n is determined by the Earth radius a and the speed of light c ^[6].

The real Earth-ionosphere waveguide is not a perfect electromagnetic cavity. Losses due to finite ionosphere electrical conductivity make the system resonate at lower frequencies than would be expected in an ideal case, and the observed peaks are wide. In addition there are a number of horizontal asymmetries – day-night transition, latitudinal changes in the Earth magnetic field, sudden ionospheric disturbances, polar cap absorption, etc. that complicate the Schumann resonance power spectra.

[edit] Measurements

Today Schumann resonances are recorded by many stations around the world. The electromagnetic sensors used to measure Schumann resonances consist of two horizontal antennas for receiving the magnetic field in the north-south and the east-west direction and one vertical antenna for observing the vertical electric field. Since Schumann resonance frequencies are extremely low, practical antennas would have to be hundreds of kilometers long. In addition, the Schumann resonance electric field amplitude (~300 microVolts/m) is much smaller than the static electric field (~150 V/m) in the atmosphere. Similarly, the amplitude of the Schumann resonance magnetic field (~1 picoTesla) is orders of magnitude smaller than the Earth magnetic field (~30-50 microTesla) ^[16] . Therefore, special receivers and antennas are needed to measure Schumann resonances. The electric component is commonly measured with a ball antenna, suggested by Ogawa et al. in 1966 ^[17] , connected to a high-impedance amplifier. The magnetic field is measured with magnetic induction coils consisting of tens of thousands of turns around material with very high magnetic permeability.

[edit] Applications

[edit] Global lightning activity

From the very beginning of Schumann resonance studies, they were used to monitor global lightning activity by tracking changes in Schumann resonance field intensities. At any given time there are about 2000 thunderstorms around the globe ^[18]. Producing ~50 lightning events per second ^[19], these thunderstorms create the background Schumann resonance signal.

Determining the spatial lightning distribution from Schumann resonance records is a complex problem: in order to properly estimate the lightning intensity from Schumann resonance records it is necessary to account for both the distance to lightning sources as well as the wave propagation between the source and the observer. The common approach is to make a preliminary assumption on the spatial lightning distribution, basing on the known properties of lightning climatology. An alternative approach is placing the receiver at the North or South Pole, which remain approximately equidistant from the main thunderstorm centers during the day ^[20]. One method not requiring preliminary assumptions on the lightning distribution ^[21] is based on the decomposition of the average background Schumann resonance spectra, utilizing ratios between the average electric and magnetic spectra and between their linear combinations.

[edit] Diurnal variations

The best documented and the most debated features of the Schumann resonance phenomenon are the diurnal variations of the background Schumann resonance power spectrum.

A characteristic Schumann resonance diurnal record reflects the properties of both global lightning activity and the state of the earth-ionosphere cavity between the source region and the observer. The vertical electric field, which is equally sensitive in all directions and therefore measures the global lightning, shows three dominant maxima, associated with the three “hot spots” of planetary lightning activity: 9 UT (Universal Time) peak, linked to the increased thunderstorm activity from south-east Asia; 14 UT peak associated with the peak in African lightning activity; and the 20 UT peak resulting for the increase in lightning activity in South America. The time and amplitude of the peaks vary throughout the year, reflecting the seasonal changes in lightning activity.

[edit] ”Chimney” ranking

In general, the African peak is the strongest, reflecting the major contribution of the African “chimney” to the global lightning activity. The ranking of the two other peaks – Asian and American is the subject of a vigorous dispute among Schumann resonance scientists. Experimental Schumann resonance data show a greater contribution from Asia than from South America. This contradicts optical satellite and climatological lightning data that show the South American thunderstorm center stronger than the Asian center ^[19]. The reason for such disparity remains unclear. Williams and Sátori ^[22] suggest that in order to obtain “correct” Asia-America chimney ranking, it is necessary to remove the influence of the day/night variations in the ionospheric conductivity (day-night asymmetry influence) from the Schumann resonance records. On the other hand, such “corrected” records presented in the work by Sátori et al. ^[23] show that even after the removal of the day-night asymmetry influence from Schumann resonance records, the Asian contribution remains greater than American. Similar results were obtained by Pechony et al. ^[24] who calculated Schumann resonance fields from satellite lightning data. Both simulations – those neglecting the day-night asymmetry, and those taking this asymmetry into account, showed same Asia-America chimney ranking. As for today, the reason for the “invert” ranking of Asia and America chimneys in Schumann resonance records remains unclear and the subject requires further, targeted research.

[edit] Influence of the day-night asymmetry

In the early literature the observed diurnal variations of Schumann resonance power were explained by the variations in the source-receiver (lightning-observer) geometry ^[10]. It was concluded that no particular systematic variations of the ionosphere (which serves as the upper waveguide boundary) are needed to explain these variations ^[25]. Subsequent theoretical studies supported the early estimations of the small influence of the ionosphere day-night asymmetry (difference between day-side and night-side ionosphere conductivity) on the observed variations in Schumann resonance field intensities ^[26].

The interest in the influence of the day-night asymmetry in the ionosphere conductivity on Schumann resonances gained a new strength in the 1990s, after publication of a work by Sentman and Fraser ^[27]. Sentman and Fraser developed a technique to separate the global and the local contributions to the observed field power variations using records obtained simultaneously at two stations. Sentman and Fraser interpreted the local contribution as ionosphere height variation. Their work convinced many scientists in the importance of the ionospheric day-night asymmetry and inspired numerous experimental studies. However recently it was shown that results obtained by Sentman and Fraser can be approximately simulated with a uniform model (without taking into account ionosphere day-night variation) and therefore cannot be solely interpreted in terms of ionosphere height variation ^[28] .

Schumann resonance amplitude records show significant diurnal and seasonal variations which in general coincide in time with the times of the day-night transition (the terminator). This time-matching seems to support the suggestion of a significant influence of the day-night ionosphere asymmetry on Schumann resonance amplitudes. There are records showing almost clock-like accuracy of the diurnal amplitude changes ^[23]. On the other hand there are numerous days when Schumann Resonance amplitudes do not increase at sunrise or do not decrease at sunset. There are studies showing that the general behavior of Schumann resonance amplitude records can be recreated from diurnal and seasonal thunderstorm migration, without invoking ionospheric variations ^{[26] [24]}. Two recent independent theoretical studies have shown that the variations in Schumann resonance power related to the day-night transition are much smaller than those associated with the peaks of the global lightning activity, and therefore the global lightning activity plays a more important role in the variation of the Schumann resonance power ^{[29] [24]}.

It is generally acknowledged that source-observer effects are the dominant source of the observed diurnal variations, but there remains considerable controversy about the degree to which day-night signatures are present in the data. Successful monitoring of global thunderstorm activity with Schumann resonances relies on the proper interpretation of experimental data. It is therefore vital to understand and correctly interpret the major features of Schumann resonance field power variations.

[edit] The “inverse problem”

One of the interesting problems in Schumann resonances studies is determining the lightning source characteristics (the “inverse problem”). Temporally resolving each individual flash is impossible,^[clarify] but there are intense ELF transient events, also named ‘‘Q bursts’’. Q-bursts are triggered by intense lightning strikes, associated with a large charge transfer and often high peak current ^[17]. Q-bursts can exceed the amplitude of the background signal level by a factor of 10 and appear with intervals of ~10sec ^[21], which allows to consider them as isolated events and determine the source lightning location. The source location is determined with either multi-station or single-station techniques. The multi-station techniques are more accurate, but require more complicated and expensive facilities.

[edit] Transient luminous events research

It is now believed that many of the Schumann resonances transients (Q bursts) are related to the transient luminous events (TLEs). In 1995 Boccippio et al. ^[30] suggested that sprites, the most common TLE, are produced by positive cloud-to-ground lightning occurring in the stratiform region of a thunderstorm system, and are accompanied by Q-burst in the Schumann resonances band. Recent observations ^{[30] [31]} reveal that occurrences of sprites and Q bursts are highly correlated and Schumann resonances data can possibly be used to estimate the global occurrence rate of sprites ^[32].

[edit] Climate change research

Global climate change is the subject of intense debate and concern. One of the important aspects in understanding global climate change is the development of tools and techniques that would allow continuous and long-term monitoring of processes affecting the global climate. Schumann resonances are one of the very few tools that can provide such global information reliably and cheaply.

[edit] Global temperature

Williams [1992] ^[33] suggested that global temperature may be monitored with the Schumann resonances. The link between Schumann resonance and temperature is lightning flash rate, which increases nonlinearly with temperature ^[33]. The nonlinearity of the lightning-to-temperature relation provides a natural amplifier of the temperature changes and makes Schumann resonance a sensitive “thermometer”. Moreover, the ice particles that are believed to participate in the electrification processes which result in a lightning discharge ^[34] have an important role in the radiative feedback effects that influence the atmosphere temperature. Schumann resonances may therefore help us to understand these feedback effects.

[edit] Upper tropospheric water vapor

Tropospheric water vapor is a key element of the Earth’s climate, which has direct effects as a greenhouse gas, as well as indirect effect through interaction with clouds, aerosols and tropospheric chemistry. Upper tropospheric water vapor (UTWV) has a much greater impact on the greenhouse effect than water vapor in the lower atmosphere ^[35], but whether this impact is a positive, or a negative feedback is still uncertain ^[36]. The main challenge in addressing this question is the difficulty in monitoring UTWV globally over long timescales. Continental deep-convective thunderstorms produce most of the lightning discharges on Earth. In addition, they transport large amount of water vapor into the upper troposphere, dominating the variations of global UTWV. Price [2000] ^[37] suggested that changes in the UTWV can be derived from records of Schumann Resonances.

[edit] Extraterrestrial lightning

Existence of Schumann resonances is conditioned primarily by two factors: 1) presence of a substantial ionosphere with electric conductivity increasing with height from low values near the surface (or a high-conductivity layer, in case of gaseous planets); 2) source of excitation of electromagnetic waves in the ELF range. In Solar System there are five candidates for Schumann resonance detection: Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and its moon Titan.

Modeling Schumann resonances on the planets and moons of the Solar System is complicated by the lack of knowledge of the waveguide parameters, and today there is no possibility to validate the results. Nevertheless, theoretical results aid to estimate the possibility of detecting Schumann resonances on a planet.

The strongest evidence for lightning on Venus comes from the impulsive electromagnetic waves detected by Venera 11 and 12 landers. Schumann resonances on Venus were studied by Nickolaenko and Rabinowicz [1982] ^[38] and Pechony and Price [2004] ^[39]. Both studies yielded very close results, indicating that Schumann resonances should be easily detectable on this planet given a suitably located sensor.

On Mars lightning activity has not been detected, but charge separation and lightning strokes are considered possible in the Martian dust storms ^{[40] [41]} . Martian global resonances were modeled by Sukhorukov [1991] ^[42], Pechony and Price [2004] ^[39] and Molina-Cuberos et al. [2006] ^[43] . The results of the three studies are somewhat different, but it seems that at least the first two Schumann resonance modes should be detectable.

It was long ago suggested that lightning dischargers may occur on Titan ^[44] , but recent data from Cassini-Huygens seems to indicate that there is no lightning activity on this largest satellite of Saturn. Due to the recent interest in Titan, associated with the Cassini-Huygens mission, its ionosphere is perhaps the most thoroughly modeled today. Schumann resonances on Titan received more attention than on other celestial bodies. Schumann resonances on Titan were studied by Besser et al. [2002] ^[45] , Morente et al. [2003] ^[46] , Molina-Cuberos et al. [2004] ^[47] , Nickolaenko et al. [2003] ^[48] and Pechony and Price [2004] ^[39] . It appears that only the first Schumann resonance mode might be detectable on Titan.

Jupiter is the only planet where lightning activity has been optically detected. Existence of lightning activity on this planet was predicted by Bar-Nun [1975] ^[49] and it is now supported by data from Galileo, Voyagers 1 and 2, Pioneers 10 and 11 and Cassini. Saturn is also expected to have intensive lightning activity, but the three visiting spacecrafts – Pioneer 11 in 1979, Voyager 1 in 1980 and Voyager 2 in 1981, failed to provide any convincing evidence from optical observations. The strong storm monitored on Saturn by the Cassini spacecraft produced no visible lightning flashes, although electromagnetic sensors aboard the spacecraft detected signatures that are characteristic of lightning. Little is known about the electrical parameters of Jupiter and Saturn interior. Even the question of what should serve as the lower waveguide boundary is a non-trivial one in case of the gaseous planets. There seem to be no works dedicated to Schumann resonances on Saturn. Up to date there has been only one attempt to model Schumann resonances on Jupiter ^[50], where the lower conducting boundary within the gaseous atmosphere was modeled using a thermodynamic approach. Given the intense lightning activity at Jupiter, the Schumann resonances should be easily detectable with a sensor suitably located within the planetary-ionospheric cavity.

LEY LINES

Ley lines refer to hypothetical alignments of a number of places of geographical interest, such as ancient monuments and megaliths. Their existence was suggested in 1921 by the amateur archaeologist Alfred Watkins, whose book The Old Straight Track brought the alignments to the attention of the wider public.

The existence of alignments between sites is easily demonstrated. However, the causes of these alignments are disputed. There are several major areas of interpretation:

• Archaeological: A new area of archaeological study, archaeogeodesy, examines geodesy as practiced in prehistoric time, and as evidenced by archaeological remains. One major aspect of modern geodesy is surveying. As interpreted by geodesy, the so-called ley lines can be the product of ancient surveying, property markings, or commonly traveled pathways. Numerous societies, ancient and modern, employ straight lines between points of use; archaeologists have documented these traditions. Modern surveying also results in placement of constructs in lines on the landscape. It is reasonable to expect human constructs and activity areas to reflect human use of lines.
• Cultural: Many cultures use straight lines across the landscape. In South America, such lines often are directed towards mountain peaks; the Nazca lines are a famous example of lengthy lines made by ancient cultures. Straight lines connect ancient pyramids in Mexico; today, modern roads built on the ancient roads deviate around the massive pyramids. The Chaco culture of Northeastern New Mexico cut stairs into sandstone cliffs to facilitate keeping roads straight.
• New Age: Some writers widely regarded as pseudoscientific have claimed that the ley lines and their intersection points resonate a special psychic or magical energy. These theories often include elements such as geomancy, dowsing or UFOs. Some similar believe these points on lines have electrical or magnetic forces associated with them.

   

• Skeptical: Skeptics of the actuality of ley lines often classify them as pseudoscience. Such skeptics tend to doubt that ley lines were planned or made by ancient cultures, and argue that apparent ley lines can be readily explained without resorting to extraordinary or pseudoscientific ideas.

BLACK LINES

Black lines seem to be naturally generated, although quite how is not known. They may be localised and do not form a network in the same way as Hartmann and Curry lines. This could be similar in nature to the "sha", or deadly energy lines of Chinese Feng-Shui. They can be curved, straight, at ground level or higher, even found in the upper levels of buildings. There have been described 2 types of Black lines, one as "black and depressed", the other as "shiny, black, hard and sharp." They could possibly represent the flow lines of a negative type of "orgone-type" energy as described by Wilhelm Reich.

(wikipedia)

HARTMANN NET/LINES

The Hartmann net consists of naturally occurring charged lines, running North-South and East-West. It is named after Dr. Ernst Hartmann, a well regarded German medical doctor, who first described it soon after the second world war. Alternate lines are usually positively and negatively charged, so where the lines intersect it is possible to have double positive charges and double negative charges, or one positive and one negative charge. It is the intersections that are seen to be a source of potential problems.

The Hartmann Net appears as a structure of radiations rising vertically from the ground like invisible, radioactive walls, each 21 centimetres (9 inches) wide. The grid is magnetically orientated, from North to South they are encountered at intervals of 2 metres (6 feet 6 inches), while from East to West they are 2.5 metres (8 feet) apart. Between these geometric lines lies a neutral zone, an unperturbed micro-climate. This network penetrates everywhere, whether over open ground or through dwellings.

The Hartmann net has been defined using the Chinese terms of Yin and Yang. The Yin (North-South lines) is a cold energy which acts slowly, corresponds to winter, is related to cramps, humidity and all forms of rheumatism. The Yang (East-West lines) is a hot, dry rapidly acting energy. It is related to fire and is linked to inflammations.

The points formed by the intersection of these lines, whether positive or negative, are dynamic environments sensitive to the rhythms of the hours and the seasons.

It has been suggested that both the Curry grids and Hartmann Net are earthing grids for cosmic rays that constantly bombard the Earth, and that they can be distorted by other things, such as geological fault lines and underground mining. It is also possible to have spots where the Curry and Hartmann lines cross, causing further potential problems. These spots are generally seen to be more detrimental than a single crossing within the Curry or Hartmann system.

RUSSIAN SCIENCE

Earth crystalline energy grid

Soviet (1960's) illustration of Crystalline Planet as appeared in the Khimiya i Zhizn, popular science journal journal of the USSR Academy of Sciences. The Russians referred to earth grid as a 'matrix of cosmic energy' that existed as the subtle structural (metaphysical) foundation of the Earth prior to its creation. According to a later Russian journal, Komsomol's Pravda, the primordial earth was initially a crystal that rounded out to a spheroid form later.

The Russian hypothetical model of the crystal planet, or consciousness of earth [sim.Gk.: Gaia], is visualized as a dodecahedron (12 pentagons) superimposed with an icosahedron (20 triangles)[sim.Gk.: Platonic solids; polyhedra; Hindu: "mother of form" (Prakriti) swims in the "cosmic ocean" (Purusha)], which correlate with ancient sacred sites, earth faults, magnetic anomalies, migration patterns, etc.

R. BUCKMINSTER FULLER: Dymaxion Map

The Dymaxion map of the Earth is a projection of a global map onto the surface of a polyhedron, which can then be unfolded to a net in many different ways and flattened to form a two-dimensional map which retains most of the relative proportional integrity of the globe map. It was created by Buckminster Fuller, and patented by him in 1946, the patent application showing a projection onto a cuboctahedron (ie.vector equilibrium; dymaxion map). The 1954 version published by Fuller under the title The Air Ocean World Map used a slightly modified but mostly regular icosahedron as the base for the projection, and this is the version most commonly referred to today. The name Dymaxion was applied by Fuller to several of his inventions.

Unlike most other projections, the Dymaxion is intended purely for representations of the entire globe. Each face of the polyhedron is a gnomonic projection, so zooming in on one such face renders the Dymaxion equivalent to such a projection.

UNIFIED VECTOR GEOMETRY (UVG) 120 POLYHEDRON/SPHERE: (Becker-Hagens) Planetary Meta-Physics

BECKER-HAGENS GRID MAP

The husband-and-wife team of Becker and Hagens - created the map below. Becker is a Professor of Industrial Design at the University of Illinois, Chicago, and Bethe Hagens is a Professor of Anthropology at Governors State University.

The Becker-Hagens grid cracked the code of the Platonic Solids' positions on Earth.
 

Becker and Hagens show us how these two shapes were first discovered, and then how they worked into the ultimate Earth Grid, which they called the Unified Vector Geometry 120 Polyhedron (including all elemental polyhedra), or the UVG 120 Earth Star, the growing/evolving conscious geomagnetic structure which ancient people used for integrative purposes (according to Sinkiewitz, considered the rediscovered ancient grid; Pythagorean Grid).

They ascribe this discovery to the work of Ivan P. Sanderson, who was the first to make a case for the structure of the icosahedron at work in the Earth. He did this by locating what he referred to as vile vortices, or areas of the Earth where mysterious disappearances, mechanical failures and time-space distortions were seen to occur.

These 3 scientists worked off of their combined talents to determine this "matrix of cosmic energy" that encircles the Earth. With this new formulation of the Global Grid, Becker and Hagens write :

These new lines and points, in conjunction with Sanderson's (esp.vile vortices), indicated some interesting correlations:

Gravitational anomalies: (eg.unexplained phenomena)

Volcanoes: lithospheric plate lines where volcanic activity occurs (eg.Hawaii; Canary Is.)

Electro-Magnetic Anomolies: platonic polyhedra vertices (eg.generative jitterbug)

Meteorology: worldwide atmospheric highs and lows; centers of cyclones and anti-cyclones which give birth to hurricanes which follow grid lines; as do wind and water currents (eg.Katrina; red spot of Jupiter)

Earth Faults: Earth's seismic fracture zones and ocean ridge lines (eg.mid-Atlantic ridge GP10-37; latitudinal ridge line 17, 18, 20- Silk Road)

Solar Radiation: maximum amounts (GP1, 17, 41)

Atomic Explosion: 1700 million years ago there was a spontaneous reaction (U-235) (GP40)

Mineral Ores: continental plate intersections (oil deposits; eg.Tyumen GP3; oil speculation)

Soil: lack of certain elements has lead to unique plant life (Keg.iev GP2, Lake Baikal GP4; humanoid giants under water breathing and sunken cities)

Migratory animals: (eg. winter bird migrations, GP12, 20, 41)

Ancient megalithic civilizations: Giza (GP1), Harrapa (GP12), Stonehenge (GP11), Peru(GP45), Easter Is. (GP47), northern Mongolia (GP4)

 

Becker and Hagens' attention was drawn to this research through the work of Chris Bird, who wrote his article on the "Planetary Grid" in the New Age Journal of May 1975. They were so overwhelmed with this new information that they eventually set up a meeting with him to discuss the work. Soon after this, they "completed" the Grid, making it compatible with all the Platonic Solids, by inserting a creation from Buckminster Fuller's work. Quote from their work...

We propose that the planetary grid map outlined by the Russian team Goncharov, Morozov and Makarov is essentially correct, with its overall organization anchored to the north and south axial poles and the Great Pyramid at Giza. The Russian map, however, lacks completeness, in our opinion, which can be accomplished by the overlaying of a complex, icosahedrally-derived, spherical polyhedron developed by R. Buckminster Fuller. In his book Synergetics 2, he called it the "Composite of Primary and Secondary Icosahedron Great Circle Sets." We have shortened that to Unified Vector Geometry (UVG) 120 spheres. We use the number 120 due to its easy comprehension as a spherical polyhedron with 120 identical triangles - all approximately 30, 60 and 90 in composition.

South America's grid triangle forms the continent around itself. In looking at the southernmost tip of South America, you can see how the force of node number 58 pushes the land away from its due south trend and towards the east. Then, if you look at node 49, on the middle of the East Coast of South America near Rio de Janeiro, you can clearly see how the force of the node has pushed the landmass of the continent into a rounded shape.



Looking at Australia, you can clearly see that the whole continent, and especially the northwest side, forms very precisely within the stretching forces of this area of the Global Grid. Here, if we look to the exact north and middle of Australia on point 27, we see a circular "node point" displacing the land around it and forming the Gulf of Carpenteria. Again, the nodes themselves have shaped the land into circular "vortices," repelling the continental mass from themselves and in this case, also shaping the outline of the island directly above Australia.

Node 44 is precisely aligned with the bottom of Antarctica, and we see either edge "drooping" to the right or the left from this. According to Richard Lefors Clark, this is the "bowtie" energetic configuration showing itself in the Australian landmass, which he calls a "diamagnetic energy vortex." We will examine how such a shape could be formed by the curved, spiraling energies that make up the grid below. Clark also shows us that the Gulf of Mexico follows this same curving energetic organization, as well as the two coastlines of the continental United States.

Africa shows the combined action of two larger triangles, one with the point facing downwards on the African continent and its neighbor pointing upwards, connecting the Indian Sea.



The downward-pointing triangle certainly describes Africa well, and the extra land on the western side can be explained by the pressure coming from the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, which is almost precisely the same as the Atlantic grid line formed by points 10, 19, 37, 38, 39 and 50. The east coast of Africa and Saudi Arabia follow the eastern side of the triangle very nicely, on the grid line from point 41 to point 12.

Node point 22 gently pushes in on Africa's east coast, causing it to dip inwards as it travels and forming the Somalia Basin. We can also assume that the "cracks" separating Africa and Saudi Arabia were caused by the expansion of the Grid, forcefully pulling the land into alignment. The "crack" to the immediate left of point 12 follows the grid line exactly. And finally, the upward-pointing triangle can be clearly seen to cut its way right into the land, with Africa's coast defining its left side and India's coast defining its right.

And finally, the upward-pointing triangle can be clearly seen to cut its way right into the land, with Africa's coast defining its left side and India's coast defining its right.



In this next illustration, we can see how point 21, in the center of the African continent, works with its above-right partner point 20 in providing a framework for the bow-shaped energy vortex that shaped the northeast coast of Africa.

Point 20 is the only "vile vortex" that is significantly inland; 41, near South Africa, and 42, near India, are the only others that touch land at all! This is probably due to the incredible strength that they possess, which seems to repel landmasses. We can see how the northwest coast of Africa is indeed very circular, and point 20 is directly at the center of this "bowtie" of energy.

We see Dr. Leflors Clark's bow-shaped "diamagnetic energy vortex" shaping the land in a smooth curve. We can also see the same curving formation created by the east coast of India and the west coast of Southeast Asia. This vortex is balanced between points 24 and 13. We remind ourselves that these smooth curves illustrate the spiraling nature of the superstrings that make up these geometric energy fields, here expressed as spiraling lines of magnetic force.



According to Dr. Clark, the point at the center of the "bowtie" becomes a magnetic null zone of zero gravity when appropriately triggered by the right geometric positions of the Sun, Moon and Planets to the Earth. In those moments of conjunction, there is a "hyper-dimensional bleed-through," and we then get time dilations.

The next three pictures, showing the circular grid energy formations surrounding the east coast of China and surrounding area:



In picture number 1, we have our straight grid map of China for comparison. Picture 2 has three circular vortexes in it. We have already discussed the bottom left vortex in India and China. Then, the center vortex shapes the East coast of China, based off of and emanating from point 13. The uppermost and largest vortex in Picture 2 shapes the entire Japanese and Russian archipelago, and is centered in and emanating from point 4.

In picture number 3 we have a vortex centered in Sanderson's "vile vortex" near Japan, the "Devil's Sea," here listed as point 14. This vortex is "equalized" by points 25 and 26, both of which are equidistant from the edge of the circle. And obviously, Indonesia precisely traces the bottom left of the circle itself. This is obviously a very strong vortex to be able to shape the land of Indonesia from where it stands, according to Becker and Hagens.

Another area of continuing disappearances and mysterious time-warps is the Devil's Sea located east of Japan between Iwo Jima and Marcus Island. Here events have become so sinister that the Japanese government has officially designated the area a danger zone. This area was significant enough to the work of Bermuda Triangle author Charles Berlitz that he wrote a whole book dedicated to it and the "bigger picture," entitled The Devil's Triangle. It is becoming more and more clear that our geometric shapes, expressed as the consciousness unit expanded to a planetary scale, are far more than abstract concepts of theoretical physics. What we have here are direct, quantifiable and measurable phenomena, and these geometry-based Grid patterns are simply the simplest, and therefore the best solution to the problem.

The "grid bands" on the Earth and how their effects shaped the Ring of Fire', the flowing of the Nile River, the "node point" of the Egyptian northern coast centered in 'Giza, and the vertical structure of the Yucatan Peninsula. Now, with the full map of the Becker-Hagens grid, we can see a great deal more from the effect of these straight longitudinal lines.

By referring back to the main map, the reader can clearly see that the entire Eastern side of Hudson Bay in Canada precisely follows the line from 18 in Florida to 9 in the Bay to 61 at the North Pole. Furthermore, all of England is precisely within the line created by point 20 in Africa, through point 11 in England to point 61 at the North Pole. So, there are a variety of ways to see this energy at work on Earth. One can begin to visualize this Grid energy as a living net of "wires" that are tightly stretched over a thin balloon. It is obvious to us that what we think of as randomly placed continents are actually conforming to this massive energy, disappearances, gravity loss, levitation and other related phenomena.

Becker-Hagens explain how these grid points seem to attract large population centers.

Look at the South American landmass. Not only does it fit perfectly a Grid Triangle, but we can sea circular, bowtie-shaped energy at work in the actual shaping of the landmass itself.



This "bowtie" is nearly centered within the diamond that is formed between points 18, 35, 37 and 49. We already saw the African "vile vortex" shaping a similarly large "bowtie" in the above diagrams. The offset of the South American landmass from being precisely within this "diamond" again could be accounted for by the pushing of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, which follows the lines of the Global Grid with amazing precision.

Looking back at the Becker-Hagens map, it is quite easy for us to see how this line clearly demarcates the separation between the continents, just as the Mid-Atlantic Ridge is the point of expansion between the two continental plates.



An elliptical-shaped gravity field is clearly visible when the center is placed directly in node 15. If we use any standard image editing program and "drag out" an ellipse using point 15 as a center, we can indeed align it precisely with the island formations to the far west of our diagram. We can see the amazing connections of this energy formation as soon as we start looking at the diagram. We can try other center points besides 15, but the ellipse will not fit anywhere else as precisely as it does right at that spot.

This massive energy vortex seems to provide the clearest Grid counterpart for the existence of the Ring of Fire, which is a ring of volcanoes and tectonic activity surrounding the Pacific Ocean. When we look at this "grid ring" carefully, we can see that it represents the perfect fusion between the Earth's landmasses and the Global Grid. Going clockwise from the 12:00 point, the ring will perfectly touch a "square" of grid points, as 7, 31, 27 and 5. (Node point 27, near Australia, is the only one that isn't touched exactly.

We can also see that this ellipse is well defined by points 14 and 16, again Sanderson's incredibly powerful "vile vortices," the points of the icosahedron. We have already seen how the incredible gravitational force of these "vortices" was able to shape the entire upper Western half of Africa into an elegant, circular shape. Now, we are seeing two of these vortices working together to form an even larger shape. The ring forms part of the East Coast of China, as well as a good part of the upper Russian coastline surrounding node 5. It also defines part of the southern coastline of Alaska.

The grid points 14 and 16 would be akin to the two poles of the dividing cell. The grid lines provide us with a simplified depiction of the "spindle fibers" that form in cell mitosis. The actual ring of energy that is created forms a precise analog of the nuclear membrane of the cell, as it continues its expanding, elliptical process of division.

VILE VORTICES

The "10 Vile Vortices" (Ivan T. Sanderson) [sim.Becker-Hagens: "Twelve Devils' Graveyards Around the World" (Saga Magazine, 1972)]

[Planetary Grid Points:

• North (even/yin-): 12, 14, 16, 18, 20 (eg.drain)
• South (odd/yang+): 41, 43, 45, 47, 49 (eg.sink) ]

are magnetic-gravitational vortex points (sim.20 'magnetic reversal points'), which are believed to be dimension doors [accounting for non-arbitrariness of nuclear testing/secret launchings (eg.Cape Canaveral, Alice Springs, Lopnor), UFO phenomena, weather pattern generators, unexplained disappearances; eg. Bermuda Triangle, Philadelphia Experiment (Paradox, Nicholas Nelson)] (see 'Bloch Wall').

Due to the energetic structure (icosahedral triangles) of earth, the equator line (0° LAT) has no diamagnetic field, while the actual magnetic reversal areas occur at the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn (vertex points of spinning icosahedral triangles, occurring at approx. 30°N LAT, 30°S LAT, varying LONG). There are 20 'magnetic reversal points' (1, 12-20, 41-50; sim.'vile vortices'), which alternate power position/quality according to the celestial influence (ie.electro-magnetic spectrum) of the sun, moon, planets, and stars, upon the gravitational spin of earth. The function of the magnetic reversal point alternation is to maintain, bind/hold/unify, and/or balance the Earth.

The dimension doors are believed to be portals to parallel universes.

The Gaze of the Sphinx (eg.Silk Road) essentially coincides with the top line of the Vile Vortices [5 triangular points spinning about the upper horizontal hexagon of the icosahedron, a component of the Planetary Grid System, Earth Crystal, and Unified Vector Geometry (UVG) 120 Polyhedron].
