Revision as of 16:16, 6 July 2009
Earth radiation is a hypothetical 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 supposedly covers the Earth at regular intervals and may be detected by dowsing using a divining rod. It is not supposed to be detectable by common scientific instruments but some[who?] still connect it to telluric currents, which are actual phenomena, detectable by scientific instruments.[citation needed]
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. Dowsers believe that there is clear evidence that most of the world's megalithic monument, temple and church building architectural traditions incorporated local beneficial Earth radiation points and lines into the design of sacred spaces.[citation needed]
The most important type of harmful Earth radiation is generally recognised by dowsers as being a vertical radiation found above all underground streams whose flow and associated information field has been disturbed. Dowsers associate, long-term exposure to these 'black streams' (as they have been known in European dowsing parlance) with the development of cancer, nervous and intestinal diseases, and a host of immune-impaired conditions, arising particularly from the placement of a sufferer's bed over one or more of these deleterious lines. The outside edges of these lines are considered particularly harmful.[citation needed]
Cats, corvids, owls and insects are reputed to be attracted to these lines and Earth radiation knots. Anthills are also said to be placed next to trees which stands in line with the knots.[citation needed]
Other types of harmful Earth radiation recognised by dowsers include those found over geological faults (including radon gas), mineral deposits, and a number of global geomagnetic grids - here the radiation is described as a grid-like arrangement with lines at regular distances, the most famous of which are:[citation needed]
- Curry lines which are understood to be circa 3 meters apart (with variations), diagonally to the poles, east to west, sometimes called the Curry Grid;
- 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. They may carry beneficial or disturbed energy.
Some proponents of this theory also mention Schumann Waves (which, like telluric current, is an actual scientifically detectable phenomena).[citation needed]
Critical view
The vast majority of scholars in geophysics believe that the theory of Earth radiation is nothing but pseudoscience or even a hoax.[citation needed]
