The Power of the
Labyrinth
by W A Gawn
Early in October last year I had the pleasure of being the guest of
Elizabeth Sulivan at Castle Benton, near Milford Haven, South Wales. The purpose was for me to have another look
at the wonderful labyrinth that she had constructed on the lawn at the rear of
the Castle. An article by Sig Lonegren
on the labyrinth was published in issue 10 of the Newsletter. My visit was to look at other aspects of the
energies associated with the labyrinth.
Elizabeth is of the opinion, one formed through her dowsing experiences
since the labyrinth was constructed, that it has some healing abilities. She has used the energies within the
labyrinth to prepare homeopathic pills, which have been successful in the
treatment of some cases of illness in both humans and animals.
What I did was to carry out some experiments using objects and observe
as to whether any energy structural changes took place in the energy fields of
those objects after they were placed for a short time at the centre of the
labyrinth. The objects that I used were
small fieldstones a few inches across.

I dowsed for and measured the extent of the aura or basic energy field around the stone with them placed outside the labyrinth. I checked for lines of energy within this basic
field and noted the form and number of those that dowsed as detrimental.
(See sketch) Then I carried these in turn and placed them for a few moments
at the centre of the labyrinth before carrying them back out again. (It is
worth noting that there is a blind spring directly beneath the centre. If we refer to the June 98 article in the paragraph
"Draw me some Water Please"; it is recorded that when the labyrinth
was first constructed no blind spring was known to be within the site where
it was built. This was observed to
have moved into place at a later date.) I then placed them in approximately
the same location outside the labyrinth, as they were when I first dowsed
the energy field around them. The
basic energy field was found to be more than twice the diameter and the lines
of detrimental energy had retracted inside the stone in all cases.
On following the outside edge of the basic energy field of the stones I
found that there now was a pathway or line of energy that weaved its way into
the labyrinth and to its centre.
Further checks were carried out with the stones moved further away and
even at about 100 yards distant this line of energy still connected back to the
labyrinth. What I also found was that
when any of these small stones were placed on top of another stone, the energy
structure of that stone was altered permanently in a similar way. By that I mean that the basic energy field
was enlarged and the detrimental elements suppressed and remained that
way. It does not mean that the energy
field remains constant in size. The
daily fluctuations that can be observed in any display of energy, due to the
influences of the movement of the earth and its relationship to the sun, moon
etc, still occurs. In fact these become
more noticeable.
I brought one of these small stones home with me and have continued to check its energy field for size and structure at intervals since then. The enhanced size of the basic field has persisted to date. However there has been a slight change in the detrimental energy lines. Whilst they still continue to terminate within the stone the lines form a short loop outside the stone before returning to it. (See sketch)

From this it is possibly reasonable to suggest that changes would take
place in the energy structure of sugar pills when placed at locations within
the labyrinth and that when the patient takes these pills their energy
structure is also altered. The method
used by Elizabeth is to dowse for positions within the labyrinth relating to a
specific patient. Usually four or five
different places are indicated. The
bottle of pills are placed on these positions in turn for a few minutes and
then finally at the centre. This way
they absorb the energies appropriate to the patient. The dosage and period of treatment is then dowsed for.
Following on from this I looked at what caused these changes to take
place and what made them permanent.
Most of us are aware of the changes that take place in the size of the
human aura when standing on certain locations where the quality of the energy
varies. One instance of this may be
over the edge lines of underground water where generally a significant
contraction takes place. However
immediately on moving to another location the aura expands to what is
considered "normal" or in other places is expanded. Therefore it is seen from this that more
than one circumstance is necessary if the change is to be made permanent.
A – B = 100
A – C = 100
B – D = 100
C – E = 100
C – D = 161.8
Also
if we take
E – F = 100
F
– D = 127.2 (square
root
of 161.8)
E
– D = 161.8

Let us look at the labyrinth and see what circumstances prevail within
it.
(1) Its shape, the hidden
geometry.
(1) Underground water. There is the blind spring mentioned
above. Also there is an underground
stream that feeds the blind spring. This
is deep and wide and I believe flowed through beneath the Castle and the
labyrinth site for many years.
As stated above, when a person or an object is directly over the edge
lines of an underground stream where the water in the stream has come from a
blind spring, an ascending source, the aura or energy field contracts. Where the stream is wide enough that the
person or object is able to be directly over the centre i.e. the water, without
touching the edge lines, the aura or energy field is enhanced and increases in
size.
My first experiment was to place a small stone on the ground away from
any streams of underground water and measure the width of the energy field, it
was about three feet across. Next I
placed it over the centre of an underground strewn of water and again measured
the width. It was then fourteen feet
across. When I moved it back to the
first position the energy field returned to three feet across. I repeated the experiment but when the stone
was over the underground stream, I succussed it by hitting it once with another
stone. Then when it was moved back to
the first position the size of the energy field remained fixed at the larger
size.
I have not got a labyrinth at home but I have a small paved area that is
in the shape of a pentagon, it has five sides of equal length. This shape incorporates the Golden Mean
ratio in that the length of the base multiplied by 1.618 is equal to the distance
between the two points at the shoulders of the pentagon.
As with the labyrinth at Castle Benton, when it was constructed there
were no blind springs in the area of the pentagon. Now there is a smallish one almost at the
centre point. I placed a stone at this
centre point and observed that its energy field increased in size
as it had over the stream of water. I
then placed it outside the pentagon and found the change that had taken place
appeared permanent in that it remained enlarged over a period of time. This would suggest that the unique
geometry of the pentagon had the
same affect as the succussion of the stone.
In the case of the labyrinth the same situation must apply although here
the geometry is more obscure.
After further experiments with these altered stones, I found that, as
with the stones placed within the labyrinth, they had the ability to pass this
on to other objects and that the change seemed permanent without
succussing. This occurred as soon as
the other object came within the influence of the extended energy field and
that contact between the objects was not necessary. However in the case of the labyrinth and pentagon, to bring about
a change the object had to be inside the perimeter area and over the centre
where the water now is. This would
indicate that the geometry of the pentagon and the labyrinth has the effect of
keeping the influence within its shape and concentrating the energy at the
centre. Is it this concentration of
energy that causes a blind spring to appear?
In carrying out such experiments it is essential that the dowser has no
interest in any particular result but takes the answers as they are presented
without any forethought or concern about the outcome. It can be demonstrated that the mind, using projected thought,
can alter the size and structure of energy fields in a similar way to what I
have described. Also that these changes
can be made permanent simply by asking.
This begs the question, "is it all a matter of thought with
intent?" This is a big discussion point between many dowsers. My opinion is that the answer is both yes
and no. I will explain what I mean.
What happens when we create a thought?
They are electric impulses that occur within the brain that causes
movement of energy. This energy extends
outside the body but can be directed by us through intent. It is this that causes changes to occur in
the energy fields of other objects, not the thought
itself In the case of objects such as stones, it is not the stone that brings
about the change, it is the energy field around it. In both cases it is the presence of energy and its interaction
with other energy fields that matters, the object or thought is
irrelevant. However in the case of
thought, through the use of intent, the energy can be directed in a more
precise manner and in the form that is most useful to the situation than by
using objects as the energy generator.
Also it is more convenient and easy to use and needs less muscle power
than moving heavy objects into precise locations.
However at the end of the day the choice is ours. Both methods i.e. physical and spiritual,
incorporating such things as geomancy, feng shui and spiritual enlightenment
are equally valid and will work in that they both can change energy structures
in specific ways. It is through
developing knowledge and skill that we can be more precise in the way that the
changes occur and ensure they are for the common good.
