Mystical, Academic or Aesthetic (again)

Forgive the fanciful thought but I think the first people to rubbish earth energies etc. would be the builders of the monuments themselves. And how would we like it if the folks of the 51st century visited ruined bingo halls and mobile phone masts and started wittering on about lines or energies.

Actually I quite enjoy a good discussion about the mystical in the stones, earth energies become boring because only certain people can feel them, the rest of us are not plumbed in so to speak. Now I missed a whole discussion on stone heads at Avebury, which has rather peeved me, and there's a lot of mileage out of a mother goddess in the landscape - though actually I don't believe that one either... so bring on Michael Dames, Terence Meaden, etc, they seem to sell there books pretty well on their theories...

That's a helluva bit of speculation, considering how little we know about them.

"Wittering"?

Y'know, it's only yesterday that I mentioned how this forum could seem a little cliquey. Well now it feels more like a concerted effort to disparage anyone whose views don't fit with the forum norm. Yeah, sure, it's not cliquey in here at all.

I believe in earth energies having felt them myself at various places.

I don't know whether the ancients put any value on them since I wasn't around then to ask, or if I was I don't remember.

I am no expert on any level but I know what I feel and what I believe.

I do forgive the fanciful thought, although it seems that within this arena those that dismiss the 'earh energy, transpersonal perspective' are those that rant on and on and on about it so much, any perspective is just that a perspective....not the whole show! It reminds me of the old story of blind men feeling a elephant and each having a different picture. It allso reminds me of the qoute ' thou prosteth to much' regards MM
