A Model Approach to
Earth Energies by Ced Jackson
Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving,
And revolving at nine hundred miles an hour,
That's orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so it's reckoned,
A sun that is the source of all our power…(M. Python : 1983)
Mental
Maps
In this article
I want to explore the internal models that people bring to Earth Energies.
We all have a mental framework, or model, even if we don't know what it is, or can't explain it to other people.
Sometimes visual models help.
For example :
I am a dowser………
I am interested in
earth
energies……….
I am a member of the EEG ...
...and the EEG is of course
where dowsing and Earth Energies overlap!
How did I get here ?
People’s internal models can change over time.
Some people start to dowse by looking for water, or underground pipes, or some thing. When they stand over the target they get a reaction, and it is reasonable for them to think that they are picking up 'radiation'.
We can call this the Radiation Model, which is fine, until you come on to map dowsing.
This relies more on an Information Model, i.e. all information is out there (somewhere) known to someone, or something. The task here is to tune in.
Many people use both these models. Sometimes one is more useful, sometimes the other. In effect we place ourselves on a continuum somewhere between the two models.
Dowsing for Earth
Energies, is a form of Dowsing…
...but there are many people (and disciplines) concerned with earth
energies, who are not concerned with dowsing. These include some scientists,
pagans, geographers, etc.
TWO DIFFERENT THINGS !
We
often lump together the
DOWSING of sites, and the INTERVENTIONS
we might subsequently make.
For example, if you are undertaking a house survey or clearance, you might first DOWSE for geopathic stress, and then use a completely different INTERVENTION to eliminate or transform that stress.
